Throwback to our informative post on thyroid health!

1) Chronic stress is the culprit that taxes the adrenal glands until there is just no more fuel left in that gas tank. As such, high cortisol decreases TSH and fT3 and shunts fT4 to rT3 leading to hypothyroid symptoms. Adrenal and Thyroid health are interrelated and often malfunction together. ⁠

2) Nutrient deficiencies include iron, iodine, Vit D, vit B12, selenium, zinc and more. Each one of these vitamins and minerals have an impact on thyroid function. For example, thyroid hormones require iodine for synthesis and iron, selenium and zinc for its conversion.

3) Hormonal changes, which are common during perimenopause or menopause, have a direct impact on thyroid function. Excess estrogen decreases thyroxine binding protein, reducing free hormone levels contributing to hypothyroid symptoms. Low progesterone mimics a hypothyroid state. ⁠

4) Heavy metals affect our health. Bromines are an environmental heavy metal that unfortunately you’ve probably been exposed to at some point in your life. Bromine is a known endocrine disruptor which wreaks havoc not only on thyroid but overall hormonal function.⁠
⁠
5) Dietary foods that are inflammatory can cause difficulty with much of our health.

One of the major dietary factors affecting thyroid function is gluten. Gluten causes inflammation and is well known to aggravate other autoimmune conditions. You can find gluten in breads, pastas, pre-shredded cheese, & many baked goods. Want to learn more about gluten containing grains or how to avoid or replace them in your diet?⁠
⁠
Next are soy phytoestrogens, you may have heard that soy helps with menopausal hot flashes? Phytoestrogens are plants that have an estrogenic effect on humans. That’s because it modulates estrogen receptor activity however it also is a potent anti-thyroid agent. If you have thyroid problems it is best to keep away or limit your soy.

Feel good this Friday with B12!

This water-soluble vitamin plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including maintaining nerve tissue health, supporting brain function, and facilitating red blood cell formation.

Some benefits of B12 include improving red blood cell formation and, in turn, preventing anemia. As well as, boosting energy levels in those who are deficient in B12.

PVNH occurs when neurons (located in the gray matter) don't migrate properly during brain development, leading to a range of possible symptoms, including seizures, developmental delays, and complications with the heart, lungs, and joints.
