Yes! You may be one of the 30 million Americans who have a thyroid problem, and you may not even know it. When your thyroid doesn’t function, it can affect every aspect of your health, in particular, weight, depression and energy levels. Most thyroid conditions occur because of a problem somewhere other than the thyroid gland itself. Hormone levels, such as of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), T3 and T4 can appear normal, but may not be in balance or working correctly. Since they are all tied together and in constant communication with the brain explains why an “unhappy thyroid” can be associated with so many different symptoms and diseases.
There are 3 possible reasons for this:
Stress is the greatest reasons for T4 not to convert to T3. These two hormones, T3 and T4 are what control the metabolism of every cell in your body. But their delicate balance can be disrupted by nutritional deficiencies, toxins, allergens, infections and stress. Checking your adrenal glands to see how well your body is adapting to stress is another important step.
Active T3 hormone is critically important because it tells your DNA via your cells to turn up your metabolism by burning fat, which helps lower cholesterol and keeps you healthy.If the cell receptors are not functioning, Active T3 cannot be used which causes the whole system to suffer.
Hashimoto’s Disease is an autoimmune condition where the body is attacking itself. An estimated 80% of thyroid conditions are autoimmune related. Unfortunately most of these go undiagnosed because doctors often do not order the correct blood work for autoimmune thyroid function.
Can My Diet Be the Cause of My Thyroid Problem?
Yes. Food Intolerance can cause inflammation and gastrointestinal problems such as I.B.S., Crohn’s, Celiac and leaky gut, which allow foreign proteins to cross through the gut lining causing an immune system malfunction.
