Does TSH predict your thyroid function?

Is it true that subclinical hypothyroidism should not be treated?

Can TSH be used as the sole diagnostic criteria for thyroid dysfunction?

Find out why it is not enough to just check your TSH  levels like most practitioners do (because that was what we were taught in medical school) as TSH DOES NOT DEFINE your thyroid function. And when your TSH is in the 'normal range', but you still have symptoms of hypothyroidism such as fatigue, body aches, and brain fog...you NEED to investigate more! Learn more about the myths of TSH in my latest episode NOW!

Some medications affect the thyroid enzymes D1 and D2 that convert T4 to T3. Could you be taking one of them?

At least 150 industrial chemicals have been shown to result in the reduction in TSH and/or T4.

Work with the concept of TOTAL TOXIC LOAD instead of trying to find each individual toxin.

What simple tips can you help to 'detoxify' your current environment and body?

What are the top 10 Signs and Symptoms to ask about when suspect Suboptimal Thyroid Function?

Did you know what are the Top 6 KEY NUTRIENTS for thyroid health that you may be lacking in?

Can you name them?

And do you know why they are important?

We always think of inflammation as what we can see on the surface of our bodies when we cut our skin or break a bone - red, hot, sore, and reduced movement.

But internal inflammation caused by excess body fat, environmental toxicants, and infections, to name a few can cause more damage to our thyroid gland!

How about Gluten and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease you may ask!

Listen now as I delve deeper into the root causes of thyroid dysfunction.

Do you have Fatigue, Body aches and Brain Fog?

Do you think your thyroid could be the cause?

You’ve been to your practitioner but they say your thyroid tests come back as 'normal'?

Do you think they are doing the right tests?

In this first episode I start to explore the root causes of why your thyroid starts to fail.

Herbs are medicinal plants that help the body adapt to stress or recover from stress.

They also help improve endurance during fatigue.

Which adaptogens to use though?

Whether you have levels of high or low cortisol states? 

Or if you are looking at the stress adaptation stages - the arousal (cortisol is high and DHEA levels is high or normal) or adaptation (cortisol is still high but DHEA is declining) or exhaustion (low cortisol and DHEA levels) stages?

Think about key nutirients.

We don’t want to take 10 thousand different supplements, right?

But what we take for our nutrient debt, we want to optimize the doses for our bodies to function properly, that's the main thing.

So what would be the key nutrients for the HPA axis dysfunction?

So you have a HPA (Hypothalamus - Pituitary - Adrenal) Axis Dysfunction!

Now what?

I mention about the 4 steps below:

Lifestyle modifiable factors

Supplements

Herbs and adaptogens

Hormone replacement

But the main QUESTION TO ASK YOURSELF is Are you ready to change??

Melancholic Depression vs Atypical Depression - which causes your cortisol to go up, and which one makes it come down? 

Which type of depression is more 'treatment resistant' in the conventional medicine world? Which type of depression causes more fatigue?

How about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and how it relates to cortisol levels?

PMS? 

PMDD?

Could addressing your HPA axis dysfunction help these 'disorders'?

Are chronic disorders complicated or complex? Where do you start in addressing them? 

Is there such a thing as Adrenal Fatigue?

Not really. at least not in the Functional Medical world.

We call it HPA (Hypothalamus - Pituitary - Adrenal) axis dysfunction! That certainly is a long word!

So today I want to touch on how this dysfunction can then cause chronic fatigue in people.

As it is a rather huge topic, I have broken it down into several episodes in the next few weeks. 

Remember bite-size information is easier to digest! Especially when you or your loved ones suffer from fatigue!
