If you struggle with fatigue, weight gain or inability to lose weight, brain fog, constipation, gut problems and depressed mood you may have a thyroid disorder. Twenty-eight million Americans are affected by thyroid disorders. Women make up 80% of those people!
Take the Thyroid Symptom Quiz!
The thyroid is crucial to functions in every single cell of the body. It helps with growth and development of cells, especially the development and function of the nervous system. It also plays a major role in the reproductive system and metabolism. It is important to get the correct testing and have a practitioner who knows the optimal ranges for thyroid function (and not just those that come from the lab).
It’s also important to understand what can cause a thyroid disorder. Certain nutritional deficiencies, gut problems such as ‘leaky gut’ and IBS, environmental toxin exposure, infections such as mononucleosis and finally, but not least, chronic stress (HPA axis dysregulation).
