An Estimated 20 Million Americans have some form of Thyroid Disorder.

Only 40% (or less) of them have actually been diagnosed.

60% of them are continuing to get up every day wondering why they are broken, exhausted, unable to lose weight, why they have so much body pain…

What is wrong with them?

And when they go to the doctor, so often they hear things like “That’s just getting older.” Or “Just try harder to lose weight – that is your issue.”

Here’s some Truth for you…

You don’t have to feel horrible.

Feeling horrible is not a normal part of getting older.

Symptoms are symptoms, not moral failings.

And my personal favorite…..

You are Not making it all up, just because your doctor can’t explain what’s going on.

It’s time to find a doctor who can help you explore your health from a functional medicine perspective and finally get to the bottom of what is going on. So you can start to give your body what it needs to HEAL. :Heart:

If you want to work with me, I offer in-person appointments in Edmonds, WA, USA as well as phone consultations. Feel free to reach out. Let’s figure this out together.

Did you know? There have been numerous studies on the effect of time spent in nature or “Green spaces” on cognitive ability, mental and emotional health?

The more we learn about this amazing field of study (There is even a burgeoning field of Eco-Psychology), the more it becomes apparent that encouraging patients to reconnect with nature might be one of the big missing pieces in healthcare.

Studies have shown that people who spend just 2 hours a week, either in one or two large chunks of time, or spread out to about 20 minutes per day, have a significantly improved mood, sense of connection and wellbeing, as well as improved cognition, decreased stress, improved Heart Rate Variability, and decreased levels of anxiety and depression.

There have also been studies testing the difference between time spent actually outside, in nature, against viewing nature videos or virtual reality nature experiences. They found that video content does provide some benefit, actually being outside in a natural environment is significantly more helpful to mental, emotional and physical health.

What are your favorite ways to spend time connecting with nature?

It really is incredible how many things Cold Laser or LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) is able to help patients with. Every day more and more research studies are piling up showing new and exciting applications and facets of the medical benefits and powerful treatments from Laser therapy.

Finally, a therapy that is both Powerfully Effective, AND doesn't come with a long list of side-effects and complications. Just healing. It truly is a new Era in Healthcare.

(Image says: Cold Laser Benefits:
Heal tissue
Relieve Pain
Reduce Inflammation
TBI / Post Concussion Symptoms
Better Sleep / More Energy

And so much more...)

The Gut Health and Thyroid Connection

You might not automatically think that your digestive health has anything to do with your Thyroid, but they are more intricately linked than you might think.

The Gut (and liver) is where the body converts T4 (inactive) thyroid hormone into the active T3 thyroid hormone that the body is able to actually use to carry out the functions of the thyroid.

When the gut, and particularly the microbiome is off, it can actually contribute to lowering thyroid function.

This is why gut health, diet and digestion are SO important to work on in the course of healing thyroid imbalances.

My Top Tips for Gut Health:

1 – Reduce Stress

2 – Get Enough Sleep

3 – Check for Food Intolerances
keep a detailed food diary and note how you feel after eating, notice patterns or ingredients that may be impacting your wellness.

4 – Get the right prebiotic or probiotic for you.
Talk to your doctor about what your unique body needs to help support your Microbiome

5 – Stay hydrated
We hear it all the time, right? But most people still don't drink enough water. (I struggle with it too!) Drinking WATER, not tea, coffee, or other fluids really is unbelievably important for the entire body, but in particular gut health and digestion.

Pain. Whether a fleeting soreness, a healing injury, or long-term chronic pain, there is not much I can think of that interferes more with quality and enjoyment of life.

One of my favorite at home remedies for fast pain relief and inflammation reduction is taking a “Hot / Cold” shower.

In the shower, direct water as hot as is comfortable, the hotter the better, onto the painful area for about a minute.

Then turn the water temperature as cold as you can manage (this level is different for everyone. The colder the water, the better the results) for at least 30 seconds.

This temperature change helps to bring in additional healing blood flow and move inflammation fast. The best part is it is relatively easy relief for most people to access at home, without medication.

If you struggle with chronic pain and live in the Seattle area, please reach out to me, I have a couple of openings for new patients in my Quantum Pain Relief Program for February, and I would love to assist you in reclaiming your quality of life through the power of an integrative cold laser pain treatment program!

TRUE OR FALSE?

The Thyroid regulates metabolism.

It's TRUE!

More and more studies continue to show that the Thyroid and thyroid hormones are truly the belt that turns the motor of the body's metabolism.

Not only that, but it also is the organ that receives information from your body and then assesses how much energy you have, how much you need, how much you need to store for later (in fat cells), regulates appetite, basal metabolic rate and yes, ultimately – body weight.

So when the thyroid isn't performing as it should, all of these functions down the chain of dominos are thrown off.

If you struggle with Thyroid disfunction as part of your health story, I recommend looking for a doctor who is certified in the specialty of Restorative Health. We have specialized training to assess and treat the thyroid from a Functional medicine perspective and are able to help restore balance as naturally and gently as possible.

Healing is a Process – but it is Possible!

Happy New Year! I hope that the first days of January have been treating you well. ♥️

Today, I was inspired by my own tiredness to share a gentle reminder...

Many people get inspired to tackle the new year by making big, sweeping changes, starting that new tough exercise routine, decluttering their whole house, completely changing their whole diet, and more...

All of those are great goals. But, I've noticed that most of the time, our resolutions are all about figuring out how to DO MORE in our already too busy schedules.

Consider this your permission slip to be gentle with yourself and take things gradually. Health and Wellbeing are a Journey, not a sudden, drastic change.

Most of us are already burnt-out and ready for a break. So I hope that whatever changes you want to make this year, you know that you deserve to build Rest and Restoration into your plans, too.

And, if you feel like you could benefit from working on your burn-out from a functional, naturopathic medicine perspective, I'd love to help however I can. - Dr Kat

Continuing my Essential Nutrients for Thyroid Health series with:

Selenium

Selenium is required for the body to convert the T4 hormone into the “Active” form of Thyroid hormone, T3.

Selenium also helps protect against Iodine toxicity (too much iodine). This is why it is so important to increase iodine and selenium at the same time.

Good Dietary sources of Selenium:

Brazil Nuts (Just 1-2 Brazil nuts a day is all most people need to get the recommended amount of Selenium)
Meat
Eggs
Brown Rice
Oatmeal
Mushrooms
Spinach

If you run lab tests on patients struggling with hypothyroidism, the vast majority of them are deficient in Vitamin A. This is because the thyroid is actually responsible for the converting nutrients to and from Vitamin A, and then helping the body use that Vitamin A in the many body systems that depend on it.

When you don't have enough Thyroid function – you likely don't have enough Vitamin A, because your body can't utilize it properly.

Vitamin A is ALSO overall Anti-Inflammatory and decreases TSH levels. I can't overstate how important Vitamin A is!

Good Dietary Sources of Vitamin A: (general consensus is to shoot for at least 3-5 servings a day from a variety of these sources)

Animal Products: particularly Liver, meat, fish and cheese
Sweet Potato
Butternut Squash
Carrots (Think Orange vegetables!)
Leafy Greens
Cantaloupe

There is an epidemic going on. Throughout the world, and also in Healthcare. People are feeling more and more disconnected. Unheard. Unseen. Misunderstood.

In medicine, patients often feel like their medical team doesn't believe them, dismisses them and their complaints. The amount of patients who come to me in tears telling me that their other doctors said that their lab tests looked “fine”, so their symptoms must be “all in your head”, is truly astonishing.

To me, medicine is about more than symptoms, body parts and test results. It is about People. Human Connection.

I have seen first-hand how much healing can occur when patients feel heard and supported, no matter what the medical cause is. I am proud to treat my patients with this kind of human-to-human connection.

The healing power of connection doesn't have to come from a doctor. We all have the ability to give and receive this compassionate support to each other. So, if you need it, consider this your invitation to reach out to someone in your life who needs a little extra support. Or reach out because YOU need that support.

And of course, if you need that kind of support on your medical team, please feel free to reach out to me.

We're all in this together, and we can get where we need to go so much faster when we work together and support one another.
