 All right, how about let's talk a little bit about thyroid support because a lot of people don't know the difference between Hypo and hyper can you tell us? Yeah, that's about In basic terms hypo is low thyroid and hyper is high thyroid, right? So you talk about some of the symptoms of hyperthyroid you talk about of course everybody knows fatigue exhaustion, right feeling run-down sluggish depression Okay, we know some of those Dry coarse hair splitting the nails constipation Right muscle cramping irregular menses Those we those we know but when it comes to hyper thyroid you'd think of of of of increased activity such as nervousness palpitations irritability increased perspiration thinning of the skin thin brittle fine brittle hair Racing of the heart insomnia These are all these are all symptoms of hyper Thyroidism and both of them should be kept under control and let me give you an example as as to why with hyper thyroid Right, uh, certainly there is uh, there is bone loss Right, but hypo thyroid you have to think about it You have low body temperature with low body temperature all of your enzymes throughout your entire body are not working to capacity So we want to be actually bring you up to a u-throid, which means right in the middle How do you say that u-throid as in it's eut h But you know, you can you can use it phonetically as y o u u-throid And that's the goal that is the absolute going by the way Uh hypo and hyper thyroidism is a serious condition that you must you absolutely must be diagnosed by your physician Do not try to self diagnose yourself if you see any of these symptoms First thing you want to do is to get a hold of your physician and make sure Right that you have a proper diagnose Well, what if you're already on um like centroid for your um hypo thyroidism? Can you take supplements for additional support? Oh, absolutely. However, I will tell you there's a first of all There are a number of products you may take uh things like iodine um Metagenics has a product called thyrosol Uh, and there are many many other companies that have other products that contain all these all these things like zinc Uh iodine kelp is a good example. There's a very good source of iodine Um, but I would not uh use any of these supplements until after I passed it by my doctor and I'll tell you what because If you were to take iodine you may find right that the condition of your hypo thyroid may change You may have a lesser need of taking of some of your thyroid medication But that can only only be determined by your physician So someone should never adjust their own thyroid medication. Absolutely not. Absolutely not now be aware that Synthroid is only one type of thyroid Synthroid is what is is a natural product that is that is manufactured in the body But the active form of of thyroid is referred to as t3 or lyothyrinane Right and that is the active form of thyroid and the body must convert the synthroid or t4 To t3 in order for it to be active in order for it to work in the body Right and many times you will find that you get poor conversion When you get poor conversion, you need supplements in order to give that the conversion to work a little better I would also recommend when you have high stress levels Your thyroid is not converted properly even Okay, so it's it's it's quite it's quite convoluted and certainly it does require your physician Uh and also um your your supplement your supplement specialist Well, I hear a lot about women and having problems with their thyroid. Is that something men suffer with also? Oh sure sure. It's more prevalent than women, of course, but certainly men have a hyper or hypothyroid Problems and do they take the same type of medications and supplements? Yes, they would yes they would surely Because it's not affected by your hormones or anything like that what you would the type. Oh, let's talk about that As I said before All of your hormones are affected by cortisol or stress Your hormones are affected by thyroid a good example is estrogen affects thyroid if you have excessive estrogen estrogen you will have hypothyroid symptoms with high estrogen Would it test that way would the doctor be able to pick that out? Would he see that we would hope so yeah, uh mainly because of symptoms Yeah, okay, because I never really thought and yet and yet you'll find probably that your lab values Right are pretty true. I mean they're pretty normal Right, but it's uh, you know, uh, it's the physician that looks at the patient and determines that the patient may very well be hypothyroid Right, um Besides looking at just looking at the test because there are different types of hypothyroid a good example is this functional hypothyroidism Okay, so uh the physician has to be a good diagnostician besides just laboratory results Well, thanks mike. Thanks for all your information and we'd love to have this talk again with you sometimes I would absolutely love to come back and talk with you. Thank you. Rhonda. Thank you very very much. Thank you
