a doctor burk here I’m going to cover a

point on the thyroid and the menstrual

cycle and pregnancy what is the

relationship between all three of those

if you ever talk to someone who has a

hypothyroid ask them what their periods

like and it’s usually going to be either

pretty heavy

crampy excessive bleeding and the reason

why that is related is because that

heavy period is an estrogen dominant

situation and in high estrogen actually

inhibits or blocks the thyroid gland the

same exact thing with pregnancy as well

so when when a female gets pregnant the

estrogen goes up and the thyroid goes

down and even some women that are

borderline a hypothyroid they end up

with a pretty severe hypothyroid and

even women that are hypothyroid going in

the pregnancy have to take more than

medication because of this situation so

it’s all about this estrogen situation

so now how do we kind of bring this back

here do we support the thyroid do you

take more medication I’m going to

recommend that you support more natural

type environmental things like like

avoid any type of soy in the diet make

sure that you’re not having hidden soy

and in some of the diet foods

prepackaged foods and soy milk just stay

away from soy and the other thing is

that cruciferous is a very anti estrogen

ik food that you could take this is a

concentrate of all the cruciferous foods

that are will help clean up some of the

liver with estrogen and then the other

thing that I that you could do is take

ovary support for an overactive ovaries

if it is a cycle because this tends to

help the period be more regular less

intense less bleeding because it

supports the gland so those are the two

things that may help you that you might

want to consider but I just wanted to

show you the relationship between this

darn estrogen and hypothyroid and

especially if you’re frustrated and

you’re trying to figure it out you have

to kind of look more like

roll and there’s other possibilities so

that’s the tip of today and I’ll see you

in the next video
