The short version of early warning signs of thyroid problems is that you feel like you are aging…
At first it feels like normal aging… you feel a little more tired than usual… then it all goes downhill from there…
I felt like I was an 84 year old in a 28 year old body…
Felt tired all the time…
Had a hard time falling & staying asleep…
My hair started to fall off…
Could not lose weight no matter what…
What are other things to look for?
Depression…
Anxiety…
Food sensitivities…
Gas…
Bloating…
Constipation…
These are some of the most common things I personally experience and have seen others also experience…
Keep one thing in mind… thyroid problems are gut problems first…
If you have a hard time digesting food and absorbing nutrients, your hormone production will be low… you will start to become nutrient deficient…
Your vitamin D levels are a good indicator of how your hormone production is doing… low vitamin D means your body lacks the raw materials to make hormones…
Low nutrient uptake from poor food digestion will make your skin & hair dry, thin or fall off…
It also makes sense why people experience gas, bloating & constipation…
Another common thing I see in females with thyroid problems is heavy and painful menstruation because of poor hormone production…
I see many resorting to using birth control to stop their period… that’s not a good idea…
When I first started sharing with people how to get more energy & lose weight, I didn’t realize that this method would help women experience normal pain-free menstruation cycles… it does makes sense now that I see how much of an impact vitamin D has in hormone production…
I’ve also seen a huge correlation between PCOS & hypothyroidism… there’s overlap between thyroid and other autoimmune conditions because the root cause is gut issues…
Fibromyalgia for example, is more of a vitamin A deficiency… what’s similar between vitamin A & D? They are two of the four fat soluble vitamins which are vitamin A, D, E & K…
When people become deficient in vitamin A, they will start to feel joint pain…
Some will start to feel foot pain or as some call it hypothyroid feet...
What are advanced warning signs of thyroid problems?
How do you know if your thyroid is acting up?
Weight issues is one way to tell… not all thyroid problems result in weight gain… some will have a hard time gaining weight… all weight issues are gut related issues…
Either your gut is producing too many toxins which make you fat…
Or… your gut is not absorbing nutrients which make it hard to gain weight at all…
When either one gets out of control you will start to enter the advanced stages of thyroid problems…
When thyroid nodules start to grow, you are entering the advanced stages…
What’s sad is that many people go to a doctor to get nodules checked and often times they are told that they are benign… basically saying…
Don’t worry about your thyroid nodules, they are not bad
That’s sad because people go home and don’t make any changes until their thyroid starts acting up and they are too late to do anything about it and having to contemplate the pros and cons of thyroid removal…
If you are here looking for early warning signs, then I hope you don’t make this same mistake… don’t wait until it’s too late and harder to do something about it…
How to boost your thyroid
Thyroid problems are gut problems first…
Your thyroid doesn’t work in isolation… the thyroid can only produce thyroid hormones if you can digest food and absorb nutrients from food…
This means that you need to be eating foods that give you nutrients and that your gut can digest…
Food should give you energy…
If you get sleepy after eating meals, then chances are you are not eating good food…
Most food sold at grocery stores is not real food…
The first step to boosting your thyroid is to be able to identify real food VS fake food…
If you eat real food, then the next step is to make sure that your body can digest the food you eat…
If you get gas, bloating, or constipation, then chances are you’re not digesting food properly…
The first reason why this happens is dehydration…
To properly digest food, you need to drink enough water with minerals to keep your body well hydrated…
This is one of the easiest ways to get more energy and start losing weight…
Once you start to digest food properly, then next step is to make sure that you are getting good sleep…
Poor sleep is another early warning sign of thyroid problems… more so than thyroid problems it’s a sign of hormone production problems… if your body doesn’t produce melatonin (the sleeping hormone), then you may be tired but wired when your head hits the pillow… basically you feel tired, but your mind starts racing and you struggle to fall asleep…
Another common issue is to toss and turn all night or waking up to pee… you should be able to sleep through the night so that your body is restored and you wake up feeling refreshed and full of energy…
If you wake up with brain fog, or feeling like you got hit by a mack truck, then you’ll want to work on improving your sleep…
How?
Vitamin D…
Most people do this the wrong way… not their fault because most people just don’t know that all vitamins are created through the fermentation process… another reason why gut health is so important… probiotics are what ferment, make vitamins and hormones for you…
When people are low in vitamin D, they are usually given a vitamin D3 supplement… these supplements measure the amount of vitamin D you get in IU’s… they’ll take usually 3,000 – 5,000 IU’s… some will take crazy amounts upwards of 50,000 IU’s…
The problem with these supplements is that they are not the active form of vitamin D… you need a healthy gut to convert it into the active form… that’s why I only take natural forms of vitamin D which come from fermented foods… the most common one is fermented cod liver oil or skate liver oil…
You won’t hear about these foods from doctors…
Their job is to get you to take their supplements… our job here is to get you off supplements…
If you do this right, then there’s only one thing standing in the way of you living your healthiest life…
What’s living in your gut?
If you have mostly probiotics which are friendly yeast and bacteria, then eating healthy food will give you energy and they will turn it into nutrients, vitamins and hormones for you…
If you have bad bacteria in your gut, wild yeast, parasites, mold, etc., then even if you eat healthy food you will continue to struggle with energy and weight…
Why?
… bad bacteria are considered bad because they don’t produce energy, vitamins or hormones for you… they instead drain your energy because they produce toxins when they digest the food you eat… even if you eat healthy food, it’s the bad bacteria in your gut that make toxins… those toxins get stored in your fat cells and that’s what makes you fat…
This is why we strongly believe that cleaning up your gut and growing healthy probiotics in your gut is the most effective way to get more energy and lose weight…
