Thyroid Disorders are Often Connected to Intestinal Permeability, Hormonal Imbalance and Stress

Did you know that 90% of women that have thyroid problems that are on medication still have symptoms? Getting to the root cause is essential, yet most practitioners, just prescribe you a pill. Our protocol is unique and scientifically founded. 90% of our patients get results with our protocols.

WE RESTORE THYROID FUNCTION AND HEALTH BY HEALING FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

The evidence is compelling for Leaky Gut Syndrome’s (intestinal permeability) capacity to dismantle the immune system and cause numerous illnesses and disorders. The natural functioning of our intestinal wall is to allow nutrients to pass through, but with Leaky gut, large openings enable dangerous substances to enter the bloodstream. This happens when the TJs, or tight junctions in the intestinal wall open and cause seepages.

Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, declared, “All disease begins in the gut.” We now understand which proteins, microbiota, and microorganisms are responsible for the mucosal and epithelial damage and leaks.

The Cause of Thyroid Disorders and Other Conditions are Often Linked to Leaky Gut
When the gut lining is damaged, toxins, antigens, undigested food particles, and bacteria can leak through the intestinal lining and into the bloodstream. When this happens, your immune system tries to overcompensate and works in overdrive to attack the toxic substances in the blood. It can also exacerbate the immune system and turn it against the body, causing it to attack itself because it confuses its own cells with the foreign substances; this is called molecular mimicry.

Why Thyroid Disorders are Grossly Undiagnosed
Countless people are unknowingly suffering from thyroid conditions because many thyroid issues go undiagnosed due to the lab results giving a false negative. Why? A standard test is taken from the blood, and any abnormality in hormone levels are usually undetectable. For most patients, TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) levels do not rise or show prevalence in the bloodwork even when thyroid dysfunction is prevalent. Standard T3 and T4 testing are too limited, and an in-depth panel is necessary to diagnose the disorder is most cases.

Hormonal Imbalance
While both men and women experience stress and exposure to environmental toxins, women are more vulnerable to thyroid imbalances due to hormonal changes throughout their lifetime (puberty, birth control pills, pregnancy, menopause, HRT). When the thyroid functions properly, hormonal imbalance often will reset naturally.

Stress
Stress adversely affects the body in many ways. And while it is not a cause of thyroid issues, it does impact the thyroid directly. Stress slows metabolism, which is why stress often induces weight gain. Stress slows the thyroid function and thyroid hormones are disrupted. T3 and T4 hormone levels plumet during stress, and the conversion of T4 to T3 is often hindered, which causes too high of levels of reverse T3. Because stress exacerbates thyroid conditions, managing stress is essential.

Treating Thyroid Disorders from the Inside Out is Critical
By getting the root cause of the thyroid disorder, our protocols of stress reduction, dietary changes, supplementation and hormonal regulation, help reduce and alleviate thyroid conditions in 90% of our patients.
