so in this video we’re going to talk

about the thyroid gland there are so

many people that are walking around with

a thyroid problem but its secondary to

something else in fact when they take

the thyroid medication they don’t really

feel any better or they don’t lose the

weight so the problem is associating

what’s really underneath the thyroid

problem you know when you go to a doctor

they’ll do a blood test and they may or

may not find anything they might not

look deep enough or even if they do find

it they’ll put you on medication but you

don’t always see changes so let’s talk

about all the other possibilities of of

the actual cause of a thyroid problem

from my experience working with a lot of

doctors in the field most thyroid

conditions are not primary they’re not

just the primary thyroid problem unless

you’ve been exposed to radiation then

the thyroid is located in the base of

the neck right here about two and a half

inches wide and the gland controls

metabolism if there’s a problem with the

thyroid and it’s a low thyroid nearly a

hundred enzymes inside your cells will

be blocked that’s why you have problems

with protein you won’t be able to absorb

the proteins in the body to make hair so

your hair dries out it’s there you start

losing your hair you get vertical ridges

on your nails you have a loose skin

right here and right here you gain

weight all over not in any one location

you get cold feet

you have to wear socks to bed at night

you have problems with depression you

are tired despite how many hours of

sleep that you get decreased libido

digestive problems constipation you

crave carbs especially breads pasta

cereal crackers biscuits waffles

pancakes now you could also have an

adrenal body type and have similar

symptoms but what you’re going to look

at is what what are the most associated

characteristics with that body type and

then you would tend to you know deal

with that now in no way am i diagnosing

you or telling you to diagnose your your

own condition that’s my disclaimer

because you get with your doctor if you

want to diagnose hypothyroidism I’m just

giving information to understand the

Associated symptoms

of the thyroid in relationship to other

causes okay so number one the liver

converts the thyroid hormones so in

other words if you look at the the t3

and t4 the number on that T or t3 or t4

represents the number of iodine

molecules that are on that hormone t4 is

really an inactive thyroid hormone and

it’s activated through the liver to

become t3 so in your liver you have

certain enzymes to strip off one of the

iodine molecules to make it t3 to make

t3 the active form of thyroid hormone so

in other words eighty percent of the

thyroid function occurs through your

liver without a liver you cannot convert

and make your thyroid work okay so

that’s one thing you know so if your

liver is damaged chances are you could

that could be the source of your thyroid

problem if you have constipation that

backs up the liver that could be a cause

of your thyroid problem if you have a

sluggish gallbladder or no gallbladder

that could be a source of your thyroid

problem because you’re not able to

convert these hormones correctly and

just so you know if you don’t have

enough bile which comes from a lot of

adrenal stress and you don’t have that

that that substance called bile which

helps you break down fats for one reason

or another you won’t be able to

concentrate the iodine to to make this

thyroid thing work to so many times you

might have a good liver but just not

enough bile production and that alone

could influence the thyroid okay so

those are some common causes it could be

your diets deficient iodine because the

soils are really really poor or maybe

you’re allergic to iodine or maybe

you’re allergic to shellfish which has

iodine okay those are possibilities the

other possibility is high levels of

estrogen okay that’s another common

cause why do I know that because many

times females right after the

agency they develop a thyroid condition

because the spike of estrogen or women

that have thyroid problems usually have

high heavy high levels of estrogen

coming from heavy periods or having

crampy periods or painful periods

estrogen dominance will block the

thyroid because estrogen competes for

the thyroid receptors so it blocks the

receptors so too much estrogen can also

be the source of a primer of a thermal

problem okay so estrogen being the

primary cause the thyroid problem being

the symptom of high estrogen so these

are all things you want to look at

estrogen also condemned is the liver and

stopped the conversion from t4 to t3

estrogen can also concentrate the bile

to block the conversion from t4 to t3 so

you can see there’s many many different

causes of thyroid problem so now the

question is how do we break it down how

do we find out what it is my way is

always like this I would like to ask a

question out of all these possibilities

which one would would make the most

sense which one would actually help

everything going on here and from my

experience it’s um

it’s usually a gallbladder bile problem

because once you have enough bile you

start to lubricate the colon so it gets

rid of constipation it allows the

conversion from t4 to t3 it helps the

digestion it takes the pressure off the

liver it allows the estrogen to flood

through the liver much better so you see

if you approach it from that viewpoint

by fixing one thing does it fix

everything at the same time because

these things are not individual problems

are all connected the principle that’s

very true is that the underlying real

cause of any of these problems is

usually very obvious once you figure it

out it’s nothing abstract nothing very

mysterious so that’s what you want to

look for or let’s say you say that we’re

did this problem start right after a

pregnancy well we know then it’s high

estrogen levels okay so anyway that kind

of gives you a deeper understanding of

thyroid conditions and what maybe you

should start

looking at in helping yourself with the

thyroid body type
