We are inundated with a thyroid problem because our thyroid is like the canary in the coal mine. It's super sensitive to all sorts of environmental toxins, to stresses in our diet, to gluten and low thyroid function. Affects 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men. That's a lot. And half of those cases, they're not diagnosed. And even if they are diagnosed and treated with conventional therapy, which is usually Synthroid or T4, it's not adequately controlled or treated. So what causes low thyroid function or thyroid imbalances? Well, there are a lot of things that cause it. What are the symptoms? Let's just go over those first. You may not really identify this as a thyroid problem, but you might have a little of this and a little that. Little depression, a little dry skin, little hair falling out, a little constipation, low sex drive. Maybe your cholesterol is a little high. Maybe your nails are cracked, maybe your. Your hair is thinning. Maybe you're having eyebrow loss. Maybe you have muscle cramps. Maybe you have trouble sleeping. Maybe you feel a little fluid retention and tired all the time. You have trouble getting up in the morning. These are all clues that your thyroid might not be working right. And often you just go to the doctor and you get the regular test, and it may not actually indicate what's really wrong.
