Key Takeaways
- The thyroid gland is the master gland in your body, controlling cells, organs, and their function
- Any type of stressor can turn on the autoimmune switch
- The gluten molecule is very similar to the thyroid gland so eating gluten can trigger autoimmune attacks
- Insulin resistance can be related to a non-optimised thyroid gland
- Carbs and processed foods increase insulin resistance but there are good and bad ways to do low carbs
- Thyroid glandulars and synthetics can be used to improve thyroid hormone levels
- It’s about replacing the hormones that are no longer being made by your body
- Nutrients like iodine, selenium and magnesium are supportive nutrients that help with the conversion of T3 to T4
- When you are experiencing symptoms it’s a road sign to look into things more
- If you are in the beginning stages its’ possible to treat naturally, in the later stage’s medication will be part of the treatment
- Suppressing the immune system can trigger a variety of viruses to express themselves
- Chemical toxin exposure has increased to a point where it is a stressor on the body and triggering more autoimmune conditions
- If you have any symptoms listen to what your body is telling you and take action
- Gluten isn’t good for anyone and you need to eliminate processed foods
Best Moments
‘Your symptoms are signs given to you by your body to look deeper’
