The network star talks thyroid troubles, tough days and how viewers inspire her
Linda Childers is a California-based freelance writer covering health, celebrities and pets. Her work has appeared in The Cut, The Washington Post, The Boca Raton Observer, AARP, Oprah magazine and many other national media outlets.On her hit HGTV television series, “No Demo Reno,” Jenn Todryk, 35, is known for her high-energy approach to remodeling homes without a total demolition.
Since her mom had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism years before, Todryk knew symptoms like fatigue and sensitivity to cold could be signs of an underactive thyroid. A simple blood test confirmed her suspicion. After running blood tests, Todryk’s new OB-GYN discovered her progesterone levels were critically low. She learned that having an underactive thyroid makes it hard for a woman’s body to make progesterone and that low progesterone levels are also associated with an increased risk of miscarriage.
It took four years after the birth of her first child for Todryk to learn she had Hashimoto’s disease, a chronic autoimmune disorder that can lead to hypothyroidism, or in some cases, hyperthyroidism .who decided to run some more in-depth medical tests,” Todryk said. “After learning I had Hashimoto’s, I began taking a natural form of thyroid hormones.”
She’s posted about days when her fatigue is so bad that she needs to listen to her body and take a break. Todryk gets a lot of feedback from fans who say they appreciate her candor about the realities of living with thyroid disease as well as tips for managing the condition.
