Hypothyroidism
- Fresh whole foods are the best source of nutrients. That means making your food from scratch (it is not as hard as it sounds). Almost every client we see who has a thyroid disorder is lacking something nutritionally. A good pharmaceutical-grade multivitamin and mineral complex can help to aid in thyroid support and help restore nutritional health.
- Reduce the effects of stress in your daily life. Chronic stress has been shown to have very powerful negative effects on your endocrine system. Stress hormones which are released as a part of the stress response affect both the production and efficient utilization of thyroid hormones and sex hormones. While it may be unrealistic for you to remove all stressors from your life, reducing some stressors will prove beneficial. Remember that many times we are not able to change the stress – but we can change how we respond to it. Practice self care daily, review your sleep routine and make changes so that you sleep well, and eat a diet which supports your body rather than challenging it. Say ‘no’ when you can. Affirm living a life of balance.
- Try natural healing herbs. There are certain phytotherapeutic herbs that provide support during menopause by readjusting hormonal balances. Balance between estrogen, progesterone and testosterone aids healthy functioning throughout the entire endocrine system, including the thyroid. Other herbs — such bacopamonnieri, hops, and sage help to support healthy cell metabolism in the thyroid gland and throughout the body where thyroid hormone receptors and thyroid hormone conversion activity also occur.
Keep in mind that although we know hormonal changes in menopause can unmask a thyroid disorder or trigger one, many women may still be suffering from unrecognized thyroid disease. Pay attention to your body and watch closely for symptoms so you can look for the right connections. If you understand a few simple facts about how your body works, you can better understand how to restore your natural balance and take steps to feel better.
