font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">There is such a wide range of thyroid-related symptoms because your thyroid performs some very important functions in the body:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Basal metabolic rate (BMR): This is your body\u2019s resting rate of cellular activity (your metabolism)\u00a0and temperature.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Brain development and function: \u00a0Thyroid hormones are critical in the fetus during pregnancy, as well as in children.\u00a0 In adults, the thyroid affects memory, thinking and concentration.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Protein synthesis: \u00a0How the thyroid regulates the body\u2019s creation of new proteins and tissues.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Hormone support: \u00a0Thyroid hormones increase the sensitivity of your cells to other hormones, including certain adrenal hormones. \u00a0This means that if thyroid hormones are low, other hormones don\u2019t work as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Calcium: \u00a0In conjunction with its accessory gland, the parathyroid, your thyroid helps balance the amount of calcium in your blood and body tissues, keeping it at a healthy level.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thyroid problems are very common; in fact, it is estimated that 1 in 10 Americans has some type of thyroid disorder. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">80% of hypothyroid cases and 90% of all hyperthyroid cases have an autoimmune component, which means that the body is attacking its own thyroid. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If we don\u2019t correct this and instead just slap a Band-Aid on the symptoms of this condition, the body\u2019s attack upon its own thyroid gets worse and it may start attacking other things in the body.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">So, for 80-90% of all people with thyroid problems, the imbalance in the immune system must be addressed. \u00a0This can be done effectively with a guided program of diet, and appropriate food- and plant-based supplementation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">Other causes of thyroid problems are nutritional imbalances, such as low iodine, low iron or low vitamin D. All of these are imbalances that can be tested for and managed if they are found to be out of balance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I work with a lot of patients who have been told that their thyroid is fine, and yet they still feel terrible and have many of the symptoms listed above. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">That is because whoever was testing their thyroid is usually only looking at TSH, which is one of many markers for thyroid disease.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But to fully evaluate a thyroid you need to look at all markers, such as TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3 and thyroid antibodies. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bottom line, if you think you have the symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, but have been told you are fine based on only one TSH test, you may still have thyroid problems and a more thorough lab panel needs to be done. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">Next, it is critical to correct nutritional and immune system imbalances to treat the root cause of the problem so that you have a hope of repairing your thyroid gland. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;\">Some things we can all do to promote better thyroid health:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">When getting <b>dental X-rays, insist that they put a shield over your thyroid gland<\/b> to protect it from stray X-rays. The thyroid gland is particularly sensitive to radiation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>Do not cook using non-stick cookware<\/b>. \u00a0The main ingredient in the \u2018non-stick\u2019 surface is PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid), commonly known as Teflon. \u00a0PFOA leaches out of the pan and into the food during cooking. \u00a0It is a known carcinogen and it is toxic to the thyroid.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>Do not eat microwave popcorn.\u00a0 <\/b>Chemicals in the lining of the bag, including PFOA, are part of a class of compounds found to cause cancers and injure the thyroid.\u00a0 Microwaving causes these chemicals to vaporize and migrate into the edible popcorn.\u00a0 Thankfully, many manufacturers have promised to phase out PFOA by 2015.\u00a0 But until then, it\u2019s best to pop kernels the old-fashioned way.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>Keep plastic out of the microwave<\/b>.\u00a0 You should generally avoid plastics that contain hormone-disrupting phthalates, especially polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which often has the recycling code 3. \u00a0But even so-called &#8220;microwave safe&#8221; plastic can leach chemicals into your food when it gets hot, so choose glass or ceramic containers for re-heating food.\u00a0 Also, don&#8217;t cover your food with plastic wrap when you heat it; use a ceramic plate or an unbleached paper towel or napkin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>The right kind of fresh food is always better than canned food.<\/b>\u00a0 Go fresh instead of canned (many food cans are lined with a dangerous chemical called BPA), or research which companies don\u2019t use BPA or similar chemicals in their products. \u00a0BPA is another hormone (endocrine) disruptor. \u00a0BPA is also found in clear, shatterproof plastic and sometimes labeled with the recycling code 7.\u00a0 In addition to avoiding problems with chemicals in canned food, eating fresh foods that are organic and wild caught, free range, grass fed, non-GMO food (and also drinking and cooking with filtered water), will help to avoid other common dangerous food-borne chemicals such as atrazine, perchlorate, lead, arsenic, mercury, and organophosphate pesticides.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland, weighing about 1-2 ounces, located below the front of your throat (right below the Adam\u2019s apple in men).\u00a0 It is an incredibly important part of your endocrine system.\u00a0 Hypothyroidism means the thyroid is not functioning at  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[153,157,160],"tags":[247,246,245,244],"class_list":["post-518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health-wellness","category-nutrition-2","category-weight-loss-2","tag-autoimmune-thyroid","tag-hyperthyroid","tag-hypothyroid","tag-low-thyroid"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Your thyroid explained.
