The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that produces two main hormones (T3, T4), which regulate body temperature, metabolism, heart rate, and other factors. There are growing numbers of people with thyroid cancer and other thyroid disorders.
In recent years there have been several celebrities that have shared their personal stories of thyroid issues. Most recently, Supermodel, Gigi Hadid shared that she suffers from Hashimoto’s Disease, which is an autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid.
Along with cancer and Hashimoto’s, thyroid nodules could suggest that you may suffer from hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. If left untreated, thyroid issues can lead to dangerous conditions like AFIB, blood disorders, and heart disease.
The symptoms of thyroid issues are numerous, but some of the leading indicators and side effects are fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, immune dysfunction, and weight gain. It can be difficult to muster up the energy to exercise if you suffer from a thyroid disorder and if you do exercise, you need to make time for proper recovery, rest and regeneration.
HIIT & the Thyroid
Along with its track record of helping individuals lose weight, High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is proving to be health benefits for multiple medical conditions including thyroid dysfunction.
Because the thyroid hormones regulate our metabolism, which is the driver for weight regulations and energy, it’s difficult for individuals with thyroid conditions to exercise and to heal after an intense workout.
Exercising for long periods that create a steady cardiovascular uptake like running or biking are fantastic for healthy individuals, but there is a better way to achieve the results of steady cardiovascular exercise, and that’s with HIIT. HIIT works by doing short periods of high intensity followed by periods of low intensity and it can be customized to your needs.
The benefits of HIIT is an increase in energy levels by feeding ATP (energy) with mitochondrial structures because Mitochondria multiplied with high intensity intervals. There have been several studies indicating that the quality of exercise over quantity is what matters most for weight loss and sustained energy. When an individual can raise their sustained energy throughout the day, their systemic cellular function is better throughout the entire body. HIIT allows the body to recover faster because it’s much less hard on the body. With the intervals of high and low intensity, the CO2 or oxygen uptake is also improved, as a result, you can see a boost in your thyroid hormone levels.
