The thyroid is the furnace and the thermostat of the human body and is responsible for making energy. Often my clients who can't seem to lost weight will finally be able to drop the extra pounds when they eat MORE! Learn why nourishing the body and the thyroid is crucial to your health.
How do you feel about using liquid melatonin before bed (only once in a while-about once a month)? I usually don’t hace trouble falling asleep, but if I do it works great for me.
Okay, Christa, so I have been told that my thyroid is “normal” because of the tests that my doctor has run. I have had ultrasounds that show I have goiters on my thyroid, but they are not big enough to operate on. I have every symptom of hypothyroidism, and I am trying to address it with functional medicine as you recommend–no raw spinach, no soy, no peanut butter, foods high in iodine (eventhough I don’t eat shellfish), and kelp flakes. BUT, how long do I do this? I take beta blockers for a cardiovascular condition, so I can’t take iodine. I am just doing what I can to get iodine into my diet, and I take a bovine glandular support. I am just wondering how long it should take to heal the thyroid???
