I have hypothyroidism from hashimotos. I’m on 100mg of levothyroxine. My levels are finally optimal and I’d like to start working out seriously again. My doctor told me to take it easy when I work out, and I do need extra rest time after a workout to recover. I used to do competitive bodybuilding and ideally would like to do it again someday. I’m just wondering if that’s even a possibility? Are there athletes out there that are able to manage this condition and simultaneously live their lives the same way?

For those of you that do exercise intensely or build muscle: what helps? Are there things you can do to feel better during and after a workout?
