Signs You Have a Thyroid Problem
Ойын-сауық
Thyroid disease affects one in five women and one in ten men, yet 50 percent of people with thyroid disease go undiagnosed. The main role of thyroid hormone is to stimulate metabolism, and it affects almost every function of the body. That’s why thyroid imbalance can cause so many different symptoms.
In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk all about three big hormone disruptors: thyroid, cortisol, and sex hormones.
You can find the full episode on The Doctor’s Farmacy.

These days you have to manage your own care. I noticed that quite a while ago. I had a brain tumor in 1998 that was removed and I kept having this awful head pain and the doctors never looked at my spine-yes the brain and spine are one unit called the central nervous system…needless to say no one checked me where all the tumors were. So yeah many neurologists told me I was fine and just had migraines with a history of brain tumors.. Don’t trust medical field any longer. And then the doctor told me I didn’t have cancer yet handed me a paper and a packet that stated “cancer”.

For many people, iodized table salt is their primary source of iodine (necessary for proper thyroid function). However many Dr's nowdays advocate a low salt diet, unsalted foods ( for high blood pressure, water weight, etc); thus many people inadvertently end up with low thyroid problems! Iodine is imperative; and much moreso for those who dont eat ocean sourced seafoods regularily/weekly.

Go to well educated natural health food store. Terry naturally iodine. Selenium separately. Clean diet is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL. Pure organic extra virgin UNREFINED coconut oil to eat with and cook. There are probably some other herbs that you can take but start slow. Also. Use pure noni juice in glass bottle. One or two ounces in morning on empty stomach. Follow with tea if you want.. good luck.

I've been having low-thyroid symptoms since the age of 20 or 21, and I'm now 41! My symptoms are: depression, fatigue, weight gain and inability to lose weight, changes in sex drive, changes in menstrual cycle, and I've had my T3, T4 and TSH all tested and they've come back normal. Trying to see if my new doctor will humor me and have me on a low dose of thyroid meds, see if that will help me start feeling better. I also found out that if you have an underactive thyroid, you're more likely to develop autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Crohn's disease. If someone has an autoimmune disease, they're more likely to develop an underactive thyroid. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis over a year and a half ago. It doesn't mean that you will absolutely develop them, you're just more likely to.

Best thing to do, is go see an endocrinologist and they will do blood tests to check,t3,t4 and TSH. They go by different levels then a regular M.D. A M.D. will say it's normal levels but it's not!!

My new endocrinologist that I saw last month he's fairly young he's in practice 6 years so I gave him the history about my hypothyroidism and told him that I am on armor thyroid medication 60 mg once a day he told me oh that's not the right medication for that I think I'm going to put you on Synthroid because that works better but I'm going to do a blood test to see what your T3 and T4 levels are and I'm thinking in my head the medication that Ivan on from a different doctor I know has been working for me because I don't get sick such as viruses or anything else like that so then the blood test comes back a few days later, He tells me on the phone oh okay I'll keep you on the Armour Thyroid because I guess it seems to be working for you😮 lol and actually Armour Thyroid is better than Synthroid because this medication comes from the thyroid of a pig which is very compatible to the human body and I told him that and I bet he did not even know that.... but the thyroid issue is stemming from a different issue in the body that one is having there is a cause for it and doctors never get to the bottom of it to figure it out all they want to do is just prescribe medicine which is beyond ridiculous because they should be getting to the bottom of it

My sister had the same gene mutation. It can be challenging to find relief.
Ok, what to do to heal it? After 15 years, I stopped drinking meds, strted healthy lifestyle, food, using spirulina, selenium, Brazilian nuts, iodine, stopped drinking alcohol, coffee, gluten foods, started to eat better overall. All my cists are gone within 4 months, but blood is still showing my thyroid.
I keep going to my G.P (NHS) & they have tested my thyroid several times....they never test t3 & always say my thyroid is fine. When I get private bloods they do test t3 and it comes back abnormal like what is this? Normal t4 but abnormal t3, I'm getting nowhere but have so many symptoms and feel so bad.
I have all of the above mentioned. I have been diagnosed and am taking the medication butt symptoms still there. What’s a natural remedy please

There IS no natural therapy, it's just supplementing with actual thyroid hormone.
So what do we do when lev we is are normal but on the low end..
I had all of those and I can tell you this, western medicine physicians can’t read T level’s correctly .. so good luck trying to get treated
Same symptoms of menopause 😅
So I think I should take more testosterone? Or what should I do?
