Approximately 60 to 70 percent of people with thyroid dysfunction don’t know they have it. How can this happen, you ask? Well, part of the problem has to do with how and when we test the thyroid, part of it has to do with a lack of awareness about the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction, and a BIG part of the problem is the similarity of symptoms related to both thyroid and stress.

The number one cause of hormone imbalance is STRESS. Not age, not genetics, not a bad roll of the dice. Stress - mental, emotional, and physical - can dramatically shift your hormone levels independent of all those other factors. And when I say “hormone levels,” I mean all of them. Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone are only the tip of the iceberg, though they are definitely at the mercy of stress and can create quite the mess if not balanced.

One of the easiest, most effective ways to manage chronic stress is by balancing your blood sugar. Having "rollercoaster blood sugar levels" that spike and crash over the course of the day (and night) is a huge physical stress trigger, exponentially increasing the output of cortisol, your body's long-term stress hormone. AND, wonky blood sugar levels lead to other problematic symptoms and disease processes like insomnia, chronic inflammation, type 2 Diabetes, and weight gain. And by weight gain, I mean an increase in body fat - which is a stressor in itself!
