I DON’T HAVE A THYROID, NOW WHAT! ▫️ If you’ve had your thyroid 🦋 removed and struggle 😥 to feel better, you are not alone. ▫️ Other than a recommendation to 🗣”take your medication” you may feel lost. ▫️ Some might look medication as a negative 👎🏻 but truth is, when you are supported with the proper medication in the proper dose it can make your WORLD 🌎 a different place. ▫️ 💎 Here is where the problem lies 👉🏻 Your body (current physiological state) cannot support it and often results in your time being spent increasing/decreasing your dose to chase the ever elusive perfect TSH level. ▫️ Its tiring 😰and we get it! ▫️ Here is exactly what you need to do and why: 1️⃣ Stress suppresses thyroid hormone conversion: If you are taking medication 💊 but your life is in chaos, the chances of you converting that medication 💊into active thyroid hormone is almost ⭕️! You have to evaluate what parts of your life are working for you right now and what parts are not. From there take some time to figure out where you can create more space to heal, more you time ⏰ , more hobby time, etc. 2️⃣ Consume metabolic foods in a food frequency that supports the conversion of thyroid 🦋hormone. Your body needs to be able to convert the food you take in to energy 🔥 . When those foods are eaten frequently throughout the day, your liver is able to store more energy to be used between meals, which means greater blood sugar regulation. That energy is used to convert all the thyroid hormone you are taking into active thyroid hormone – T3, which is then used by your cells (mitochondria) to produce energy. 3️⃣ When you move 🏃🏻 in a way that meets your body’s needs, the energy producing parts of the your cells (the mitochondria) replicate. More mitochondria mean more overall usage of thyroid hormone and energy production. ▫️ The end result… ✔️You will have more energy ✔️Your medication will be more effective ✔️You will find a lower dose over time will do the trick ✔️Your labs will be much more stable over time ⁉️Why? Because now have the necessary foundation to convert all the thyroid hormone you are taking in. #nothyroid #ihavenothyroid #thyroidectomy #thyroidisgone https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu6gxL1gjEV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ouse6buxzzh2
