Most people don't realize that once you start thyroid medication, your natural thyroid essentially stops working. When labs show "normal," it's actually the medication doing all the work, not your thyroid. Stop the meds and those labs become abnormal immediately because your thyroid went dormant.

A VERY IMPORTANT POINT TO REMEMBER… If you have low adrenal function and are put on thyroid replacement without any support to the adrenals first, you can throw your body into a state of SHOCK. THE REASON: Thyroid tends to increase the metabolic activity of the adrenal glands and their hormones. In short, your body will get rid of adrenal hormones that it has on hand very quickly. This will leave you with an inadequate amount of adrenal hormones in reserve to take care of the needs of your body. An example would be the mineral corticoids produced by the adrenal glands (ie. Aldosterone). They control blood volume through their effect on water and salt metabolism. Insufficient amounts of mineral corticoids leads to a decrease in blood volume, therefore affecting one’s ability to maintain normal blood pressure.  The inability to regulate blood pressure is an indication that someone has more of an underlying adrenal issue causing hypothyroid symptoms and can often be alleviated with a nutrition protocol designed to recover the state of the adrenal glands. Someone in this state will often need extra salt and more protein to regulate blood volume and blood pressure. So what’s the take away?… Don’t make the mistake of supplementing with thyroid medication until you have FIRST spent the time developing a nutritional foundation that reduces the burden on your adrenals and supports the health and function of your thyroid.   If you are interested in learning more about how to regulate your adrenal-thyroid relationship so you’ll never need thyroid medication, click the link in our profile to set up your FREE 15min consultation. . . #thyroidhealth #thyroidmedication #adrenalhealth #adrenalfatigue #thyroidawareness #adrenalnutrition #thyroidissues #eastwesthealing #restorationthyroidnutrition #realfoodgangstas https://www.instagram.com/p/By2zjMBnp79/?igshid=ditoinyzeskb
