Dr. Tyna Moore

You were a dancer.

You always had guest clothes and like really cute outfits that matched.

Yeah, you were always super cute and pretty, and my mom set us up on a date, a play date, and I was like, Mia's going to play, like, hang out with me?

I just thought it was the craziest thing.

I feel like your mom probably, like...

probably had to threaten you to make you come.

And I didn't have any friends to the point where when I go, just a little pearl for the audience listening, because this is usually a health podcast.

When you're hypothyroid, you become antisocial.

That's a big symptom of hypothyroidism is you become very reclusive.

And so that's how I usually know that my hypothyroidism is not well controlled is because I don't want to go out.

And that was the first time that I felt that way as a person, as a human.

And I just remember not wanting to meet anybody.

My mom's like, why don't you go out and play?

Why don't you?

And I would sit outside my house.

And remember, we had Mike and all the kids on the street.

Lots of kids.

I would turn my back.

Like, how weird was that?

I would go sit out there and turn my back to them and be out there because she forced me to go outside, but I refused to play.
