    I’ve always been a really “cold” person and I recently found out that was hypothyroidism, so just spreading the word you’re not actually supposed to be freezing all the time and if you are maybe get your thyroid checked

        hmm yeah if all your tests are normal, it could be more of a circulation issue - Qigong exercises are really good for that - it’s really easy and even 10 minutes feels great! (note: this is NOT related to the religious cult Falun Gong)
