Do you struggle to poop? 💩 Constipation is very real for those suffering with hypothyroidism, be it diagnosed or undiagnosed, low thyroid function is always at the root. 💩 Low thyroid hormone is a chronic stress to the body and results in the slowing down of all bodily functions especially digestion. The body has a hierarchy when faced with chronic stress, and digestion is not at the top when you are running for your life. So aside from over consuming vegetables (which would be like rubbing a wire brush across an open wound), taking supplements, enemas and colonics, how does one recover proper bowel function? 💩 ✅When there is a gut issue, there is a thyroid issue and vice versa. Thyroid hormone effects gut motility, mobility, tight junctions and peristalsis. Reducing stress within the physiology, regulating the ANS and increasing thyroid hormone conversion are foundational pieces, which over time increase the flexibility of the living organism, create harmony and recover regularity in the bowels. 💩 ✅Eat a raw carrot with a meal 1-2x a day. Always raw, never cooked. The fiber in raw carrots bind to endotoxin and assist in normalizing gut bacteria. Gut bacteria is directly related to hormone regulation and is in fact where 20% of T4 is converted to T3, requiring an enzyme called intestinal sulfatase. Just so happens intestinal sulfatase comes from healthy gut bacteria. Studies have shown that endotoxin negatively effect thyroid metabolism. 💩 ✅Bone broth and salt – natural antihistamine, stimulates peristalsis and is super supportive to the health and healing of the gut lining. 💩 ✅Breathing – in and out the nose, slowing inspiration and expiration down. When we breath correctly (through the nose), it increases our awareness of the diaphragm. The ability to access the diaphragm through our breath allows us “massage” our organs when we inhale and exhale which helps initiate movement of the intestines and relieve constipation. 💩 If you struggle with constitution, send us a message to set up your FREE 15min consultation 👍🏻 . . #icantpoop #poopproblems #iamconstipated #whycantipoop #poopyproblems #ilovepooping #helpmepoop #pooprelief #poopyissues https://www.instagram.com/p/BwCiKyxB4DX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kwznhxq2wza0
