Thyroid disease is increasingly common. But why is this happening?
If your efforts to lose weight aren't working, your "weight loss canary" might be signaling trouble. Let's explore this metaphor.
Your thyroid is like your body's canary, sensitive to influences like diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors, which can affect its function.
Historically, miners used canaries to detect toxic gases?"they were so sensitive that their demise served as a warning. Similarly, in today's world, exposure to pollution, chemicals, and heavy metals has led to a rise in thyroid issues. Shockingly, more than 20% of women and 10% of men in the U.S. have thyroid dysfunction, and half are unaware.
How Does the Environment Affect Your Thyroid?
Research shows that environmental chemicals can directly impact the thyroid. Toxins like PCBs, chlorine, fluoride, and bromide can lower thyroid function. Since the thyroid regulates metabolism, any disruption can hinder your ability to burn fat and control weight.
The thyroid's role in weight management is crucial. The real question is: how significantly does the obesity epidemic relate to these environmental toxin effects on metabolism?
Many patients I've seen have shed pounds once their thyroid issues were addressed. While not everyone's weight problem stems from thyroid dysfunction, it's worth considering if you're overweight. Therefore, thorough doctors will assess thyroid function, considering all potential causes of imbalance, including toxins, allergies, deficiencies, and stress.
Other Contributing Factors:
Food allergies, like gluten sensitivity, can harm thyroid function and often go undiagnosed. Nutrient deficiencies?"such as selenium, zinc, omega-3s, iodine, and tyrosine?"also play a role.
Given these factors, a new approach to diagnosing and treating thyroid disease is essential. Many doctors miss subtle thyroid issues and opt for standard treatments like Synthroid, which may not suffice.
A personalized, integrative approach is necessary?"one you're actively involved in. Watch for low thyroid symptoms, including fatigue, sluggishness, depression, dry skin/hair, constipation, fluid retention, menstrual issues, hair loss, nail chipping, low sex drive, weight gain, muscle aches, and cramps.
These common symptoms often lead to undetected thyroid dysfunction. If you notice them, consult your doctor and request a thyroid function test.
If Diagnosed with Low Thyroid Function, Consider These Steps:
1. Address the causes of thyroid issues: toxins, allergies, and deficiencies.
2. Engage in regular exercise and use saunas.
3. Consume foods that support your thyroid and avoid those that don't.
4. Incorporate supplements like vitamins A and D, selenium, zinc, and fish oil.
5. Collaborate with your doctor to select the right thyroid replacement, potentially combining T4 and T3 hormones.
Remember, the thyroid is the master regulator of metabolism. An imbalance means your whole system is affected.
Conclusion:
Do you have thyroid dysfunction? The good news is that it can be addressed. By following these guidelines, you can harmonize your thyroid function, manage your weight, and enhance your health today.
