After thyroid hormone replacement therapy, approximately 15% of patients remain symptomatic despite achieving normal serum TSH levels. The pathophysiology of persistent hypothyroid symptoms despite adequate hormone replacement therapy is not well understood. Ginger has long been used in traditional medicines as a hot remedy for the treatment of cold temperament symptoms and signs such as tiredness, constipation, obesity and menstrual irregularities. Since these are quite like hypothyroid symptoms, scientists in Iran aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ginger in relieving such persistent symptoms in treated hypothyroid patients.

In this randomised, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 60 overt hypothyroid patients on hormone replacement therapy aged 20 to 60 years and with normal serum TSH concentrations were randomly allocated to ginger (500 mg twice a day of dried powder) or placebo for 30 days. Hypothyroid symptoms were evaluated as the primary outcome using the Thyroid Symptom Rating Questionnaire (ThySRQ) before and after the intervention. Anthropometric measures and laboratory indices including TSH, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TChol), and fasting blood sugar (FBS) were assessed as secondary outcomes.

A significant lower mean total ThySRQ score (8.63 ± 5.47 vs. 15.76 ± 6.09, P < 0.001) was observed in the ginger group compared to the control group. Ginger led to significant improvements in the mean scores of the weight gain, cold intolerance, constipation, dry skin, appetite, memory loss, concentration disturbance and feeling giddy or dizzy domains (P < 0.001). However, no significant improvements were observed for hair loss, nail fragility, hearing, hoarseness, speech, and depression or feeling down (P > 0.05).

Ginger also led to a significant decreases in body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, serum TSH, FBS, TG, and TChol levels compared to the placebo. Generally, these changes were of a magnitude that is clinically relevant. For example, TSH fell by an average of 0.89 in the ginger group versus an increase of 0.95 in the placebo group. Similarly, body weight fell by an average of 2.43 Kg for ginger versus an increase of 1.12 Kg for placebo.

Time for a break!

It has been a hectic year, from leaving a toxic job to starting my business. I have run out fuel.

Time for a well needed break to recoup, destress and address the many things affecting my mental health and overall being.

I will be back soon with a new mindset and energy to look after my much appreciated clients.

To all those struggling with their mental health or anything else, just know it's okay to take a break! You will come out much better for it on the other side I promise.

Thank you to all those who have supported me over the last 8 months.

I truly look forward to getting back to this space and helping women in this community feel their best selves and live the life they love

Ciao xo

Are you ready to optimize your thyroid health and hormonal balance?

Your thyroid plays a crucial role in regulating various hormones that impact your energy, metabolism, and overall well-being.

For women, hormonal balance is crucial for overall health, menstrual regularity, fertility, and managing menopause symptoms. Nutrition can play a significant role in supporting hormonal balance by:
💚Managing Blood Sugar Levels: Stable blood sugar levels help prevent insulin spikes, which can affect hormone regulation. Choosing whole, nutrient-dense foods and avoiding excessive sugar and refined carbohydrates can support blood sugar balance.
💚Supporting the Adrenal Glands: The adrenal glands produce hormones that can influence the female reproductive hormones. A balanced diet with sufficient nutrients like vitamin C, B-vitamins, and magnesium can support adrenal health.
💚Supporting Estrogen Metabolism: Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and kale contain compounds that support the healthy metabolism of estrogen, reducing the risk of estrogen dominance.
💚Fostering Gut Health: A healthy gut microbiome can help regulate hormone metabolism and promote hormonal balance. Including probiotic-rich foods and fiber in the diet supports gut health.
💚Healthy Fats: Consuming healthy fats like avocados, olive oil, and nuts can support hormone production, as hormones are made from cholesterol and certain fats.

Remember, each person's nutritional needs are unique, and factors such as age, health status, and lifestyle need to be considered.

Feeling overwhelmed and stressed? Did you know that stress can impact your thyroid health too?

The thyroid, a small gland in your neck, plays a big role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, and overall well-being. When you experience chronic stress, your body releases stress hormones that can affect the production and conversion of thyroid hormones.

Learning how to manage stress effectively can positively influence your thyroid health. By incorporating relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, and mindfulness practices into your daily routine, you can create a calmer and more balanced environment for your thyroid to thrive.

Let's work together to nurture your thyroid and embrace a more balanced life!
