Thyroid malfunctioning could lead to reduced energy levels, gaining/ losing weight, weakness in the body and much more. It is not always easy to notice Thyroid Disorder unless tested. It is recommended that one does a blood test for thyroid disorders at least once every five years especially after the age of 50.
