Have Thyroid Symptoms Left You Feeling Hopeless?

Here are the top seven reasons why you may continue to struggle with your Thyroid symptoms:
1: Auto-Immunity is Often Overlooked or Mistreated. — This is very important if you are to get better. Every patient we accept for care undergoes a detailed battery of tests to determine which health priorities need to be addressed first.
These priorities are evaluated in a systematic order which consists of the following: auto-immunity, blood sugar, anemia, gut and liver function, and fatty acid metabolism.
2: “It’s All In Your Head.” — How many times have you been told it is all in your head? You condition actually is “in your head.” The problem is; it’s everywhere else too.
There are many causes of Thyroid Disease; one major cause is having a metabolic condition. You cannot medicate your way out of a metabolic condition.
3: Wrong Tests Ordered. — The standard tests ordered are usually a complete blood count, chemistry panel, and TSH. Why? Because these are what your insurance would pay for. But this is not enough information to get you better. We must look at what is going on within you much more efficiently.
4: Right Test Ordered; Wrong Results. — Most healthcare professionals use lab reference ranges as a guide to determine whether or not you have a particular disease.
Lab reference ranges are inherently inaccurate because they are based on tests of unhealthy people. Functional ranges, on the other hand, are based on optimal levels of healthy people. Doesn’t it make more sense to look at what healthy is, rather than what sick looks like?
5: It’s a Metabolic Condition! — Thyroid disease is caused by a breakdown in your metabolism. It is a metabolic condition. You cannot medicate your way out of a metabolic condition.
For about 10 percent of the thyroid patient population, medication will help. For the other 90 percent, taking medication over a long period of time will make your thyroid function less and less efficiently.
6: No Dietary Changes — Most healthcare professionals are not well versed about nutrition. If you ask them about gluten sensitivity, they will usually run a celiac test on you (a very inaccurate test) and say, “You don’t have celiac disease, so eat whatever you want!”
The fact is; your condition is quite frequently being caused by what eat. The Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) is causing so much stress on your body that it is making you sick.
7: Taking Too Many Supplements — Taking too many supplements can make your condition worse. That is a fact!
If your thyroid problem is caused by an auto-immune condition (your own body’s immune system, which is supposed to keep you from getting sick, actually attacks your own tissue and makes you sick), then taking supplements can actually trigger an auto-immune reaction and make your condition worse.
There is hope; you can be helped.
