Does thyroid make a difference??

[Whiskey]

My training partner is "on" right now, and is about 6 weeks in, but isn't seeing much, if any results. His doctor said his thyroid isn't working like it should, so could this be why??? His diet is on, as is his training. We couldn't think of anything else it could be. If it is his Thyroid, what can he do to help it. Foods, certain supplements?? I think the doc. is going to give him some meds to get it going again. and yes his doc knows that he is using. any help would be greatly appreciated!!

after he gets a blood test, he can get t-3 or t-4 pills to help the problem

I would assume that low thyroid levels make slow one's metabolism, which wouldn't be relevant. If he was trying to lose weight and the thyroid wasn't working well, that might be a problem.
