www.painfreeidaho.com Functional thyroid disorders are very common and generally overlooked in today’s healthcare model. Most patients that have functional thyroid imbalances do not have primary thyroid imbalances. Thyroid metabolism is very sensitive to slight alterations in metabolism. Thyroid hormone synthesis is altered by luteal phase function, progesterone, and autoimmunity, etc. Thyroid hormone binding is influenced by essential fatty acid metabolism, testosterone, estrogen, etc. Thyroid hormone peripheral conversion is dependent on proper 5′diodinase activity and can be altered by cortisol, estrogen, hepatic dysfunction, dysbiosis, etc. Thyroid hormone receptor binding and response may be altered by inflammation, vitamin A status, and essential fatty acid levels, etc. In this section of the notes we will briefly review thyroid hormone physiology, laboratory markers for thyroid evaluation, nutrients to support the thyroid, exogenous thyroid hormone replacement, and drugs that alter thyroid metabolism. Thyroid Physiology Review Once the thyroid is stimulated by Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) from the pituitary, it produces thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) by transporting iodine into the thyroid and by stimulating Thyroid Peroxidase Activity (TPO). TPO is involved in the formation of T4 and T3 as it catalyzes the oxidation of iodine using hydrogen peroxide. The thyroid will produce 94% of the available T4 and 7% of the available T3. As we know, T4 is

www.MiracleAdaptogens.com . . . I am constantly surprised at the large number of people suffering from thyroid conditions, especially Hashimoto’s Disease which is considered an immune disorder as their body is producing antibodies that are attacking their thyroid gland. Typical treatment for Hashimoto’s is providing replacement thyroid hormones for the rest of that person’s life. It is not a comfortable way to live with energy level swings and other body functions deteriorating over time but that is all conventional medicine currently has to offer. Over the last few years I have introduced a formula that contains the extracted active ingredients of 2 Russian adaptogens (aralia mandshirica & rhodeola rosea plus the active ingredients of 2 powerful full spectrum functional anti-oxidants, caucasian billberry and georgian pomengranate). This liquid formula has 300 milligrams of these powerful extracted active ingredients per ounce and the typical dosage is 4 ounces (1200 milligrams of active ingredients) per day at a cost of per day and reduced dosage as the thyroid gland recovers, typically down to 2 ounces per day. The results have been spectacular! Since this is a nutritional, we cannot use the word “cure”, but people are greatly reducing the amount of medication previously required and their Hashimoto symptoms are frequently rapidly relieved and their quality of life improves greatly. It is worth learning about these adaptogens and their positive impact on

Visit savantmd.com for more health tips and videos or follow us on http There are many potential causes for fatigue and one of them is hypothyroidism. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits at the base of our necks that, essentially, controls our metabolism. In addition to feeling tired here are 3 symptoms that may suggest an underactive thyroid: 1.Weight gain despite no change in diet or exercise patterns. 2. Feeling cold all the time when you never used to. And 3. Changes to your skin, hair and nails. The skin becoming more clammy and “doughy” and the hair and nails becoming more brittle. If you have been experiencing these symptoms it may be time to check in with your doctor. Dr. Mark Savant is a General Internist.

Courtesy of Hyperthyroidism is the term for overactive tissue within the thyroid gland causing an overproduction of thyroid hormones (thyroxine or “T4″ and/or triiodothyronine or “T3″). Hyperthyroidism is thus a cause of thyrotoxicosis, the clinical condition of increased thyroid hormones in the blood. It is important to note that hyperthyroidism and thyrotoxicosis are not synonymous. For instance, thyrotoxicosis could instead be caused by ingestion of exogenous thyroid hormone or inflammation of the thyroid gland, causing it to release its stores of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormone is important at a cellular level, affecting nearly every type of tissue in the body. Thyroid hormone functions as a controller of the pace of all of the processes in the body. This pace is called metabolism. If there is too much thyroid hormone, every function of the body tends to speed up. It is therefore not surprising that some of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism are nervousness, irritability, increased perspiration, heart racing, hand tremors, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, thinning of the skin, fine brittle hair, and muscular weakness—especially in the upper arms and thighs. More frequent bowel movements may occur, but diarrhea is uncommon. Weight loss, sometimes significant, despite a good appetite may occur, vomiting, and, for women, menstrual flow may lighten and menstrual periods may occur less often. Thyroid hormone is critical to normal function of cells. In excess, it both
