THIS Is Affecting Your Thyroid #shorts

Why are we seeing so many people with thyroid issues? Is this a genetic defect in human beings? I don't think so. Environmental toxins are really impactful on the thyroid function. Very sensitive to pesticides, heavy metals, environmental toxins of all sorts, which are super abundant. And there's 80,000 of these compounds in the environment. Only 1% have been tested for safety. Most of us can handle it, but they're really important to focus on identifying these toxins. Also, stress. You know, there's a deep connection between your adrenals and your thyroid glands. So those stresses register in the body directly in in terms of adrenal function. And when your adrenal function is low, you often will see thyroid function go low. The other one is gluten. About 20% to 30% of people who have low thyroid function can be a result of celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Also nutrient deficiencies. Thyroid function needs iodine to make the thyroid hormone, selenium to convert T3 to T4, vitamin D and vitamin A to have it bind in the nucleus to work, and many other nutrients to help optimize thyroid function.
