Summary

This study tests whether a structured 12-week walking program can improve metabolism, reduce fatigue, and lower stress in women with hypothyroidism who are already on thyroid medication. 120 women aged 35-55 will either walk 30 minutes, 5 times a week under supervision, or continue their usual routine. Researchers will measure changes in basal metabolic rate, heart rate variability, and stress hormones.
