hi guys I have another question for you

does ketosis cause hypothyroidism I hear

that a lot

no it doesn’t it’s not the low

carbohydrates that cause a slow thyroid

it is a low calorie diet that will do

that why because when you start cutting

calories you put a lot of stress on the

endocrine system especially because

you’re not getting enough nutrients yes

you’re running your body on fat possibly

but you’re depriving yourself of

nutrients and the thing about a weak

endocrine gland is it’s very sensitive

to nutritional deficiencies it’s still

not healed it’s not robust enough so

you’re not constantly consuming

especially the minerals and because the

thyroid gland is it’s a situation where

you have very slow metabolism that means

the uptake of nutrients is low already

because you don’t have the intracellular

enzymes to start to metabolize so

basically when you go in a ketosis diet

your hunger goes way way down and some

people just don’t eat very frequently

and the problem is they don’t get the

nutrition so if you’re going to do this

and you have a hypothyroid state just to

prevent it start taking more minerals

start taking sea kelp iodine selenium

certain nutritional things and make sure

you’re eating enough just the right

things okay so it’s nothing about the

low-calorie diet that will destroy the

thyroid it’s basically you’re just

you’re cutting your calories too low and

you’re cutting the nutrients too low
