hi guys today we’re gonna talk about the

thyroid okay now in the past videos I

talked about the real underlying cause

of thyroid is either too much estrogen

okay because estrogen has affinity for

the thyroid it blocks it coming from the

ovary or the environment or being

pregnant or the liver gallbladder let’s

say the liver is dysfunctional or the

gallbladder is not working and you can’t

convert these hormones because t4 can’t

convert to t3 unless the liver and the

gallbladder is really healthy but I want

to give you the basics first cyrix

stimulating hormone is made by the

pituitary gland in your brain and it’s

sent down to the thyroid to basically

tell the thyroid to make its hormones

so if thyroid stimulating hormone is

high that means that the thyroid is low

it’s a hypo because it’s not connecting

so it’s going to start increasing the

communication to try to drive it through

the same thing with influence when

insulin is high it’s because the

receptors are resisting it and it’s not

working so it raises it same thing with

right here okay so when TSH is low

usually it’s a hyper thyroid and it’s

making too much so it’ll turn this

hormone down to zero okay so so anyway

if it’s high it’s a hypo if it’s low

it’s hyper t4 t3 represents the number

of iodine molecules so that’s what that

the difference is but t4 is the inactive

a thyroid hormone t3 is the active form

okay but there has to be a conversion in

here to convert these hormones you need

selenium alright also to make hormones

need iodine and zinc so these are trace

minerals that you need now there is a

chemical called glyphosate okay this is

an herbicide a weed killer

it’s basically Roundup Ready which you

may have in your garage to spray on the

weeds but glyphosate not only can it

block the thyroid directly and act like

an estrogen but it also messes with your

liver it alters the ability for your

liver to detoxify it blocks phase 1

phase 2

toxification so basically it’s a toxin

that blocks your detoxification system

and it suppresses enzymes so now you’re

all this toxic stuff starts building up

in the body and it also triggers

autoimmunity like in Hashimoto’s okay

now if you’re doing ketogenic diet and

intermittent fasting your system is

going to be a lot more efficient your

fuel source is going to be more

efficient so the need for thyroid

hormones is going to be less and less

and less so you may find that your

thyroid hormones go from a high normal

to a low normal that’s fine as long as

that’s normal it’s totally fine because

you’re not demanding as many thyroid

hormones okay because the thyroid

hormones are involved in the metabolism

but glyphosate is sprayed on wheat it’s

in most of the corn sold the

high-fructose corn syrup the beet sugar

it’s in all the soy products it’s fed to

the animals so you really need to start

to be aware of that and start doing

organic now some people say well I can’t

afford organic but if you’re doing in a

minute fasting you’re cutting down the

frequency of meals you’re saving a lot

more money I would take that extra money

and increase the quality of food that’s

what I would do if I were you

cruciferous vegetables very important in

increasing the ability for the liver to

detoxify okay

that’s why cruciferous vegetables are

good for the thyroid is long as you’re

taking seek help or more iodine from a

natural source okay the other thing

selenium is very very important to in

the detoxification of a liver as well

and that’s probably why it’s used to

help the conversions so I just wanted to

create this video to bring up your

awareness and convince you to really

start getting in more organic foods so

we can avoid this thing right here
