How are thyroid disorders determined and treated / along with obesity for men?

Blood tests are done and the doctor checks your hormone levels to see if they are off. From there, they determine if you have hyper-thyroidism or hypo-thyroidism and administer medications to keep excessive or recessive hormones in check. Obesity can be caused by an underactive thyroid. So in essence, by treating the problem of hypo-thyroidism you can finally get your obesity in check. Oh yeah---that and healthy eating habits and excercise.
