7 Steps to Better Thyroid Health

Tired? Mental Fog? Nervousness? Did you know that your thyroid gland may be the issue? Your thyroid plays a part in almost every other system in your body. It is often called the

master gland. All other bodily systems also affect your thyroid. As a result, symptoms of thyroid imbalance may begin when your thyroid gland is not producing enough hormones, or when there are imbalances in other body processes that interfere with your thyroid.

Hormones can rejuvenate, regenerate and restore. They are powerful chemical messengers that circulate throughout the body and travel to specific cells to orchestrate many vital internal functions. Low thyroid affects more than 30 million women and 15 million men. Hypothyroidism is far more prevalent than once thought. Some experts believe that anywhere between 10 and 40 percent of Americans has a sub-optimal thyroid function. 

Thyroid hormones are used by every cell of your body to regulate metabolism and body weight by controlling the burning of fat for energy and heat. They're also required for optimal brain function and development in children. If you feel sluggish and tired, have difficulty losing weight, have dry skin, hair loss, constipation, cold sensitivity, and/or lack of sweating, these could be signs of hypothyroidism. Having a healthy thyroid is a critical step in balancing your body to achieve optimal, vibrant health.
