Throughout July, August, and September and we are focusing on building a lifestyle of health, energy, and longevity through your thyroid hormone health! Our thyroid impacts every aspect of our health, yet most of us do not truly understand our thyroid health and hormones and how much our nutritional choices impact our thyroid health.
We’ve all heard of our thyroid, most of us even know someone who has faced thyroid health concerns or even thyroid cancer, but do we really understand why our thyroid is so important to our bodies functioning and our ability to achieve optimal health? The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of our necks which produces the hormone thyroxine. Our thyroid controls how our bodies use energy from food, aka our metabolism. Thyroid health is critical because if you do not have enough thyroid hormone your body processes slow down, if you have too much of the hormone your metabolism overaccelerates.
Our thyroid gland and hormones:
- Regulates metabolism

- Regulates heartbeat
- Supports immune system functionality
- Stimulates blood flow to the brain

- Promotes healthy sleep, mood, and mental health

Hypothyroidism vs Hyperthyroidism
Hypothyroidism–when your thyroid gland is unable to produce enough of the hormone your entire body will slow down as your body is using energy slower than it should. Symptoms include: a constant feeling of cold, cold hands and feet, puffy skin and bloating, fatigue, exhaustion, brain fog, forgetfulness, unexplained weight gain, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, muscle and joint aches and pains, heavy or irregular menstrual periods, and depression.
Hyperthyroidism–when your thyroid gland overproduces the hormone and causes the body processes to speed up as your body is using energy faster than it should. Symptoms include: rapid heartbeat, heart palpitations, anxiety and nervousness, irritability, weight loss, heat intolerance, trouble sleeping or insomnia, weakness in the muscles and joints, vision and eyesight problems, increased appetite, light or skipped menstrual periods, and a visibly enlarged thyroid gland.

-Thyroid Specific Hormone-A TSH test is done to find out if your thyroid gland is working the way it should. This test will tell us if your thyroid is overactive, hyperthyroidism, or underactive, hypothyroidism
-T3-Triiodothyronine is a hormone that impacts your body’s metabolism. T3 testing is used to ensure that you are not living with hyperthyroidism, a condition in which your body produces too much of the thyroid hormone

-TPO-Thyroid peroxidase; this test measures the levels of thyroid antibodies in your blood and ensures that your thyroid gland is properly functioning

-Antithyroglobulin-is essential to the thyroid gland and the production of thyroid hormones. This test checks to ensure that your immune system is not causing damage to your thyroid gland
