STORY SUMMARY:

Kim Alexis is a supermodel, athlete, mother-of-five and host of TV Land's hit show "She's Got the Look," where women compete to be the world's next supermodel at 35 and older.

The fashion world of a supermodel is non-stop. So is the life of a mother. So when Kim noticed that she was running out of energy for no apparent reason, she grew concerned. That's when she saw her endocrinologist and discovered that she had a thyroid problem.

Did you know that as many as 25 million Americans (most of them women) suffer from an underactive thyroid, hypothyroidism, and that nearly half are still undiagnosed?

That's why Kim is joining forces with the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE); to educate Americans about thyroid dysfunction.

For many people, signs and symptoms of an underactive thyroid can sometimes be overlooked. Things such as unexplained fatigue, forgetfulness, weight gain, and dry, itchy skin can all be features of hypothyroidism.

For many thyroid patients, the solution can be as simple as a thyroid hormone replacement pill. That was the case with Kim. Within a few months of beginning her treatment, she felt better and noticed the fatigue and other symptoms she had been experiencing had gone away.
