HEALING IS NOT JUST ABOUT EATING “CLEAN” ANYMORE The conversation 🗣 is much deeper and demands much more attention then just eating healthy food, changing your diet or taking supplements💊. As we know, times are a changing and they are changing real fast! With access to anything and everything at the touch a button 🔴 we are all being forced to move faster, be better and live our lives as far outside self as possible and our human biology 🧬 simply cannot keep up. The result. Disease – a stress adaptation. Hans Selye stated, “there is a limited supply of adaptive energy to deal with stress. The amount declines with continuous exposure.” Over time 🕐, the constant activation of the stress response system weakens physiological resilience and depletes metabolic reserve. Resilience is defined as the ability for each cell, tissue and organ system to withstand the changes taking place every day and that are necessary for the body to function properly. Metabolic reserve refers to the long-term capacity of our body to respond to these changes. So how do we fight back? We strengthen our resiliency to stress by creating change. Circumstance does not make the man, it reveals him to himself. – James Allen How do we do that? TO LEARN HOW, JOIN US IN OUR UPCOMING 8-WEEK RESTORATION THYROID NUTRITION GROUP COACHING.

A LOW PULSE IS CONSIDERED HYPO-METABOLIC ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But wait, “I’ve been an athlete 🚴🏻‍♂️ my entire life and always been told a low pulse means the ❤️ has to work less and is healthy.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Unfortunately physiology is physiology and a slow ❤️ beat is a result of pushing the body to the limit for performance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just as thyroid effects the health and function of every cell and organ in the body, the same is true for the ❤️. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The ❤️ and ❤️ rate is modulated by thyroid hormone. Actually, thyroid hormone is THE ONLY hormone in the body that has an effect on every single cell AND organ in the body. The more thyroid hormone your body is able to convert, the more efficient your ❤️ will be at delivering nutrients to all your cells and tissues. The less thyroid hormone being converted, the slower your ❤️ will be at delivering nutrients and oxygen throughout your body. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When people either have hypothyroidism (thyroid is NOT producing enough thyroid hormone) or Functional Hypothyroidism (the thyroid is producing hormone but is NOT being converted), the reduced level of thyroid hormones causes the ❤️ muscle to pump less vigorously and eventually become weakened. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Does this mean a rapid ❤️ rate would indicate hyperthyroidism? It is possible HOWEVER it is much less common and we are speaking from the perspective of hypothyroidism. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Most often a rapid ❤️ beat and elevated pulse are more a consequence of: 1️⃣ Elevated cortisol and adrenaline as a result of being in a chronically stressed state 2️⃣ Blood sugar dysregulation and/or, 3️⃣ You have pushed your body to the point where the adrenals have weakened – your body over reacts to stress as you no longer are able to produce enough cortisol under acute stress. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And just in case you are curious, a strong, healthy, normal pulse will range from 70-85bpm at rest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s your resting heart rate?

WHEN YOUR LIVER IS THE MAIN CAUSE OF HYPOTHYROIDISM... Your temperature 🌡 will drop when glycogen reserves are low, and will rise when replenished 🤤(following a meal with carbohydrates). The liver is responsible for many processes in the body including the storage of glycogen for energy 🔥 , it filters blood, aids in fat digestion, it is our primary detoxification organ and it is responsible for the greater percentage of thyroid hormone T4 conversion 👉🏻 active thyroid hormone T3. Here is the issue—most people are inundated with stress 😤, digestively shut down, low on metabolic reserves and suffering from a multitude of symptoms such as fatigue 😓 , weakness, constipation 💩 , headaches, joint pain, brain fog, inability to lose weight, chemical sensitivities and as mentioned above the inability to convert thyroid hormone T4 to active thyroid hormone T3, all of which present as hypothyroidism. So in other words your thyroid is working fine 👍🏻, it’s all the lifestyle “stuff” that gets in the way of your ability to make the conversion which can lead to a rabbit 🐰 hole of labs, supplements 💊, thyroid medication and chronic disease when left unattended to. 👉🏻The ONLY WAY to take your body from subclinical hypothyroidism to a fully recover is with some serious food strategy. ✳️ Replenishing liver glycogen reserves at the right time and with the right metabolic carbohydrates takes the cell out of energy starvation, reduces stress hormones and brings the body back into a state of balance. . . #thyroidnutrition #thyroidhealth #hypothyroiddiet #thyroidproblems #glycogenstoragedisease #lackofenergy #subclinicalhypothyroidism #thyroiddisease #functionalhypothyroidism #eastwesthealing #realfoodgangstas   https://www.instagram.com/p/BwkAavyA5ge/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12iibpkacndrc

Should I Take Iodine Supplementation For My Thyroid? Not necessarily. Let’s first point out 👉🏻 most people being placed on thyroid medication 💊 do not have a “true” thyroid issue. They have a conversion issue, all of which can be observed  through lab values and in correlation with body temperature 🌡 and pulse. We mention this because when it comes to your thyroid 🦋 not working optimally, taking supplements or medication is not always going to be the answer. In fact, more often than not, the administering of thyroid medication 💊 to someone who does not need it can result in a thyroid resistant state. The majority of the population is living and surviving on stress 😤 hormones, which SHUTS DOWN thyroid hormone conversion. Meaning the body has been locked in a state of chronic stress from years of and the liver is no longer able to store the necessary glycogen required for T4 to T3 conversion. Iodine is needed to produce thyroid hormone. So…the logical solution for low thyroid function would be to supplement with iodine. The tricky thing about iodine is it is very difficult to dose and can often lead to subclinical hypothyroidism when taken in excess. Yes you do need adequate amounts of iodine, which must be retrieved through your diet from food sources rich in iodine such as: eggs 🥚 , dairy 🥛, seaweed, cod 🐟, shrimp 🍤 and tuna. In addition to consuming foods rich in iodine, which by the way offer a more optimal balance of other nutrients your body would be happy to absorb, the most effective way to recover optimal thyroid function is by proving your body the energy it needs when it needs it from food it can metabolize. Over time this will allow the liver to store energy, thus increasing the conversion of T4 to active thyroid hormone T3. #thyroidnutrition #iodine #iodinedeficiency #iodinefoods #iodinepoisoning #iodinepoison #iodineoverload #eastwesthealing #realfoodgangstas https://www.instagram.com/p/BwcbaYPgF5_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2oqkwh8n8qjn

Is there a link between cholesterol and heart disease? . . NO! Is there a link between being hypothyroid, that leads to increased cholesterol that causes heart ❤️ disease? . . YES! But that is for another post. Today lets chat about two ways in which hypothyroidism can lead to heart ❤️ disease. If you are on statins or a low cholesterol, fat free diet, you’re going to want to pay attention… Mucin Deposition: Mucin is a glue-like substance that is a normal part of your immune system and is present in your tissues. However, hypothyroidism causes an abnormal accumulation of mucin in your connective tissues. The result is swelling that eventually spreads to all your tissues, including your heart. Mucin also leads to injury of the arteries. As tissues become engorged with mucin, heart function slows, which leads to a weak heart that is unable to pump blood efficiently. This is also known as congestive heart failure. Other complications that arise with the accumulation of mucin include atrial fibrillation, palpitations, and an increase or decrease in heart rate. -Hotze MD Inflammation: The second reason hypothyroidism can increase your risk for a heart attack is 👉🏻 individuals with low thyroid function have an increased incidence of infection and inflammation. It is well documented that coronary artery disease begins with an inflammatory process that damages the coronary arteries. The thyroid is responsible for the body’s metabolism, and normal thyroid metabolism helps to prevent recurrent infection and chronic inflammation. Your body’s natural defense against inflammation is to produce antioxidants to fend off dangerous free radicals that create oxidative damage in your body. A slow metabolism not only affects the efficiency of the cardiovascular system, it also lowers the rate at which antioxidants are produced. This leaves your arteries and blood vessels open to further attack, leading to atherosclerosis. -Hotz MD #heartdisease #cholesteroldoesntkill #hypothyroidheart #thyroidnutrition #cholesterolandheartdisease #highcholesterol #eastwesthealing #realfoodgangstas https://www.instagram.com/p/BwUmwl7A7Ol/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lg3k2ed2bcaj
