Hashimoto's exercise intolerance or exercising too much. So this is a topic that I have to address quite frequently. One of the main reasons is to my right, and if I point this way about that far, there's about 30 miles is Lake Tahoe, which is one of the biggest beautiful, most beautiful places on earth, and lots of crazy people are up there. Those crazy people are people who run triathlons and run and run, what do you call them? Just decathlons and every athalon that there is. And there's people out there that swim across the lake, which is insane because it's so cold. And I'm tongue in cheek because this is just beyond my comprehension that people could do that. But I get a lot of them, I get a lot of people that are up in there, and they have problems and they're over-training.

I also have people at the other end of the spectrum. I have people at the other end of the spectrum that come in here and if I go through the triggers for autoimmune thyroid disease, and when I get to over-training, they roll their eyes at me like, "Dude, I can't even walk across my living room. You have no problem with me over-training." So just to cover the spectrum there, over-training is a trigger for autoimmune disease, not just Hashimoto's, by the way. If you have any other autoimmune disease, if you have psoriasis, if you have rheumatoid arthritis, if you have celiac, if you have ulcerative colitis, this applies to you too. Over-training is bad.

Exercise is good. So when you exercise, you do a lot of good things. Honestly, between exercise and sleep and diet, you can do so much with a person. And most of my patients can't sleep. Most of my patients can diet and unbelievably some of my patients over exercise. So what happens when you over exercise? So when you're sick, when you have fibromyalgia or when you have chronic fatigue, and as most of my oxygenated patients have some form of that, you're putting a huge demand on your system through the mechanism of primarily inflammation. For all of you out there who goes, "It's all inflammation." It is all inflammation, but what's causing it? Okay, that's the ticket and how do you attack it and what's the order and all that type of stuff. But in the end, inflammation is the bad guy and inflammation covers your whole physiology.

And then depending on what parts of your physiology aren't working well or are available to be more attacked, then you start getting symptoms of that. But it definitely affects the mitochondria in your cells. Inflammation affects the mitochondria in your cells. What are mitochondria? They are the little organelles that are little energy factories in your cells. For those of you who are chemical nerds or biochemical nerds, this is the citric acid cycle, or those of you are not, they're little energy cells. They take your glucose, they take your thyroid hormones, they take your CoQ-10, they take all of these things and they make energy. So when you have them under an inflammatory response, you're generally usually fatigued. But for sure when you get up and start doing things, you're putting a demand on them, whether you're sick or not, you're putting a demand on your cells to create energy.
