Hashimoto's and neuroinflammation. This was a request. And it's interesting 'cause all of a sudden I'm seeing neuroinflammation patients. This week, I've seen three and they're mostly post concussion syndrome, but you don't have to have post concussion to have neuroinflammation. And so neuroinflammation, inflammation of mainly... It's mainly inflammation in the brain. Okay. Neuroinflammation of brain can cause a lot of different symptoms, as you can imagine. But how does Hashimoto's play into that? It plays in that so many different ways. You have to realize that I hope that we're at a point where the people who are watching, those of you who are watching regularly or people who come in here and we explain it to them, that Hashimoto's is multiple different vicious cycles. Neuroinflammation can cause Hashimoto's and Hashimoto's can cause neuroinflammation, for starters. Okay. And then that can affect your endocrine system, it can affect your digestive system. Your digestive system can affect brain function. And so I just want you to have that kind of context for what I'm about to say. So neuroinflammation in the brain. So first of all, the brain... Back to basics. Okay. And so first of all, the brain needs lack of oxygen. You don't have oxygen to your brain and I get the Hashimoto's thing. Okay. So I am layering to that. So if you don't get oxygen to the brain, you're gonna get inflammation. Okay. If you have blood sugar imbalances, then blood sugar imbalances, you fatigue after meals, you fall asleep, you get more energy after a meal, you feel really great, but two hours later you fall asleep. Then you either have: The first one was instant resistance. The second one is functional hypoglycemia. You have either one of those every time you fall asleep, it's an inflammatory response. If you have a poor blood brain barrier, if you have a poor gut barrier, you're gonna get that inflammation in your brain. Actually, you're gonna get into your brain anyway, because the blood sugar needs to be stable in your brain. So oxygen, so blood sugar and then you need proper essential fatty acids. Well, if your gallbladder is not working, if your liver is not working properly, even if you're eating like six fish a day, you're not gonna be getting enough essential fatty acids to your brain. Essential fatty acids in your brain are dampening to inflammation. So two of these things create inflammation. One of them dampens inflammation. And then the other thing, your brain needs is no inflammation to work right. And that can be a ton of things depending on how the system is broken down. So how does this relate to Hashimoto's? So directly, Hashimoto's decreases blood supply to your frontal lobe, which is about half of your brain. It's like this whole front half. And it's the part where you think and it's your executive function. It's your mood, it's like your motivation, it's your thinking. They call it your executive function. It decreases blood supply to your brain while there's your oxygen, gone. Inflammation, low oxygen inflammation, low oxygen, I can't think, low oxygen, I'm fatigued.
