A lot of people complain about weight gain, being tired, and having slow metabolism. Most of this hints at thyroid problems. Some suggestions are getting a blood test, checking your TSH levels. T4 is the usually prescribed drug but the body needs T3 to keep metabolism running well. Unfortunately, T3 has a short life in the body so is not normally prescribed. According to the book " Feeling Fat, Fuzzy, or Frazzled?" by Richard L. Shames, MD there is an herb that can help with that conversion in the body. Also, be aware - uncooked broccoli, kale, brussel sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower contain compounds that slow the thyroid function; cooking them relieves that. Flouride also suppresses thyroid function according to Dr. Shames. Also interestly, changing your hormones - either by birth-control pills or hormone replacement - can affect the thyroid and its hormones, so have this checked approximately 8-10 weeks after making these changes to make sure everything is still running well. This is just an FYI - please contact your physician for treatment and testing. P.S. - We have the herb that helps with the conversation of T4 to T3 in stock. Come by and we'll show you the herb. |
