You hear a lot about the thyroid these days, but the thyroid may not be the real root problem

You hear about the thyroid a lot these days, but actually maybe your thyroid's not your problem. Maybe it's something else. Cortisol and stress. There's a thing called the hormonal hierarchy which is what we have to respect. It's your thyroid function and your cortisol and your insulin levels and these three go together. Some people hyper focus on thyroid, but the reality is it could be your cortisol that can cause issues with insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction that can look like chronic fatigue, headaches, low energy feeling, cold, abnormal periods, breast tenderness, and a whole host of other things simply because your cortisol is off. A lot of things can affect your cortisol like poor sleep, nutrient deficiencies, gut issues, and of course your thyroid being off. So learning about these can help improve your thyroid as well as your cortisol adrenal function. So if you'd like to learn more about this hormonal hierarchy, follow us and we'll lead you on your way to learning to perfect your hormone health.
