Have you ever wondered about your thyroid, if it's part of your metabolism,
how it affects your other hormones and glands? This is Dr. Jason West coming at
you with a hundred and two years of healing and we're going to talk about the
thyroid gland and the natural things that you can do to make your thyroid
healthier, you should check it out.
Dr. Jason West, let's talk about natural
thyroid alternatives and what's important about that. Well, let's
understand, what is the thyroid, what are the symptoms of a low thyroid problem or
a high thyroid problem, what does thyroid affect metabolism,
what is the relationship of thyroid to other glands. So what is your thyroid?
The thyroid gland or simply the thyroid is an endocrine related gland in the neck.
Now what endocrine means, it basically secretes chemical messengers so that
the thyroid can communicate with other parts of the body,
it's the gland in the neck, it consists of two lobes connected by a little
connection called the isthmus and it's found in the front of the neck,
just below the Adam's apple. The thyroid gland secretes thyroid hormones which
are primarily influence to the metabolism rate and protein synthesis, the hormones
also have many other effects including those on the development, we have the
thyroid hormones or T3 and we have thyroxine which is T4 are also created
from iodine and amino acid called tyrosine, the thyroid also produces the
hormone calcitonin which plays an important role in calcium balance and
metabolism. Now hormone output from the thyroid is regulated by the thyroid
stimulating hormone or TSH which is secreted from the anterior pituitary
gland which is itself regulated by the thyroid releasing hormone produced by
the hypothalamus. So let me summarize what that means. You basically have a
pituitary gland that tells the thyroid what to do that's regulated by the
office manager of the body called the hypothalamus and so I think it's
really misleading when doctors only test the thyroid stimulating gland and
doesn't test T4 and T3. If the thyroid stimulating hormone is high, it means the
pituitary is telling the thyroid to do something. Now if the thyroid hormones
are balanced, you can have an artificially elevated thyroid
stimulating hormone but the thyroid can be normal, so there's
a lot of misinformation and I think difficult tests to interpret blood tests
wise, you can have normal thyroid blood tests but have problems with your
thyroid gland. The thyroid gland may be affected by several different diseases,
if it's overactive, we call that hypothyroidism which it occurs when the
gland produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormones and the most common
cause being graves disease, an autoimmune disorder.
In contrast, hypothyroidism is a state of insufficient thyroid hormone production
and worldwide, this is one of the most common causes related to iodine
deficiency and probably the most common cause of fatigue and metabolism balance.
Now thyroid hormones are important for the development and hypothyroidism is
secondary to iodine deficiency remains the leading cause of preventing
intellectual disability. In iodine sufficient regions, the most common cause
of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto's thyroiditis also in autoimmune disease
and in addition the thyroid gland, may also have a developing several types of
nodules and cancers. Now the thyroid hormones, the primary function of the
thyroid is the production of the iodine containing thyroid hormones T3 and also
thyroid iodine and thyroxine T4 and peptide hormone calcitonin. Now when we
have T3, T4 and calcitonin, thyroid hormones increase the basal
metabolic rate and have effects on almost all body tissues, the appetite, the
absorption of substances, gap motility are all influenced by the thyroid.
Now they increase the absorption in the gut, they uptake the cells in the
breakdown of glucose, thyroid stimulates the breakdown of fats and increase the
number of free fatty acids. Despite increasing free fatty acids, thyroid
hormones decrease cholesterol levels perhaps by increasing the rate and
secretion of cholesterol in the bile. So if you're having GI problems and the
thyroids off, it's going to exacerbate that because bile is what helps to break down
fats in the diet. Thyroid has it a more enormous cardiovascular effect because
the hormones increase the rate and strength of the heart beat so this is
one of the reasons why you can have a fluttering heart if your thyroid hormone
gets too high. Now they increase the rate of breathing intake
and the consumption of oxygen and increase the activity of the energy
producing unit of the cell, the mitochondria. Now combining these factors
increase blood flow in the body's temperature so one of the best ways to
evaluate thyroid function is to do the broad abarnes temperature test which
means that you get up in the morning, you get a thermometer, you measure your
temperature and it should be somewhere between ninety seven point seven and
ninety eight point three degrees. There's actually handout that will send to you
on the temperature test that you can do at home, you don't have to go to the lab
to measure your thyroid levels and I think it's more accurate. Thyroid
hormones are important for normal development, they increase the growth
rate of young people and the cells of the developing brain, our major target
for the thyroid hormones T3 and T4. The thyroid hormones play in a particularly
crucial role in the brain maturation during fetal development, the thyroid
hormones also play a role in maintaining normal sexual function, sleep and thought
patterns and an increased levels are associated with increased speed of
thought generation but decreased focus, sexual function including libido and the
maintenance of normal menstrual cycles are influenced by thyroid hormones and
after secretion, only a very small proportion of the thyroid hormones
travel freely in the blood. Thyroid hormones act by crossing the cell
membrane and binding to intracellular nuclearthyroid hormone receptors which
bind with hormone response elements and the transcription factors to modulate
DNA. In an essence, how we make proteins. In addition, these actions on the DNA, the
thyroid hormones acted within the cell membrane or within the cell cytoplasm
via reactions with enzymes including calcium ATP, a dental cyclase and glucose
transporters. Now common prescriptions for thyroid include Westhroid, Armor
thyroid, level thyroxine, synthroid, and this video talks about what are some of
the natural things that we can do. So let's talk about ten signs of an
underactive thyroid. One, fatigue after sleeping for eight to ten hours a night
or needing to take a nap daily. Weight gain or the inability to lose weight.
Mood issues such as mood swings, anxiety, depression. Hormone imbalances such as
PMS, irregular cycles, infertility, and low
sex drive. Muscle pain, joint pain, carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis. Cold hands
and feet, feeling cold what others are not or having body temperature
consistently below 98 degrees. Dry cracking skin, brittle nails, excessive
hair loss, constipation. Mind issues such as brain fog, poor concentration or poor
memory. Neck swelling or snoring or a hoarse
voice, that's amazing all of these conditions are related to the thyroid
that's why they called the master hormone gland. Now on the flip side, other
symptoms of an overactive or hypothyroidism include increased
appetite, nervousness, restlessness, inability to concentrate, weakness,
irregular heartbeat, difficulty sleeping, fine brittle hair, itching, hair loss,
nausea and vomiting, breast development and men and some really neat dietary
considerations for thyroid. The healthier and alive your food is, the healthier and alive
you are. I really like wild caught fish, salmon are really good,
coconut oil, fermented foods, sprouted seeds and if you'll avoid inflammatory
foods such as wheat in breads and rolls and biscuits and really helps to calm
down the thyroid, either if it's too high or if it's too low. Now consist some
considerations for natural low thyroid remedies is balance, balance and balance.
Now this works for a high thyroid or a low thyroid is to get your body on a
schedule, go to bed at the same time, get up at the same time, eat as healthy as
possible and a treatment must be individualized. So there's some really
neat therapies called a protein morphogen therapy which is basically the
cellular constituents or the DNA imprint for healthy thyroid, there's awesome
some products from Natures NX called thyroid balance, there's iodine up,
there's a glandular thyroid kal thigh trophy, there's an adrenal glandular
because if you support the adrenal glands, it really helps with thyroid
balance. A natural herb product called La Masia, iodine about 150 to 300 micrograms
a day but be careful with supplements because iodine is one of those things,
a little is good, a lot is bad. Fish, eggs, raw dairy, selenium really helps with
this. Another thing that's great for thyroid function is l-tyrosine, typically
500 milligrams, twice a day. Fish oil, approximately two to four
thousand milligrams of an omega-3, b12 and vitamin b3 thiamine which helps with
neurologic function, also probiotics have a really nice effect on thyroid function.
So this is just a nice overview of thyroid, some natural treatment
considerations. You don't want your thyroid too high and having
hyperthyroidism, you don't want it too low having hypothyroidism. Again,
balance balance balance, you have to treat people individually but get your
body on a schedule, get the right amino acids in your body, you can temperature
regulate, it'll help you through metabolism. We'll see on the next video.
