Next several posts I will share with you several C

Next several posts I will share with you several Case History that I've included in a book 📖I have been working on.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Case History: 20 year old female presented at my clinic frustrated because her primary provider and also her GYN told her that her labs and abdomen CT scan were "normal". ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She was relief by the fact that everything was "normal", but yet, how come she doesn't FEEL "normal"? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I always remind my patients that they know their body best and that they are the smartest doctor in the room!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A thorough lab work up including a comprehensive thyroid panel was ordered for this patient at my clinic.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Of course, most of her lab ranges were in the "normal" range. However, they were NOT "optimal".⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In functional medicine, we look at "optimal" ranges over "normal" ranges, thus, LISTENING to your symptoms is crucial!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
By using this functional perspective it helps us identify thyroid imbalances and find them earlier, giving us a chance to correct the root cause of your symptoms and perhaps at more effective reversal of the thyroid disease process. Because most thyroid disease is auto-immune, we also screen by looking for antibodies that attack the thyroid gland so that we can intervene before more damage is done.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Conclusion: This particular patient's TPOs (thyroid peroxidase antibodies) were 6327H ! This might be the ROOT CAUSE of her hormonal and gut symptoms! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
FYI: Normal Range should be < 60!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Her symptoms were NOT all in her head!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How would you know if you don't measure?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Over and over again, I often hear my patients that

Over and over again, I often hear my patients that have been on a weight loss program somehow have successfully lose the weight, but once when deviated from the carb or caloric restriction, they gain it right back. This can be frustrating and also depressing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why does this happen? Because your thyroid gland is often overlooked!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thyroid hormones act on almost every kind of cell in your body to increase cellular activity or metabolism. If there is too much or too little thyroid hormone, the metabolism of your entire body is impacted.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The thyroid gland produces Thyroxine (T4) and Triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones play a significant role in your metabolism and in energy regulation in the body. T4 and T3 are made in the thyroid gland. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
T4 is the INACTIVE form of thyroid and T3 is the ACTIVE form of thyroid. T4 is about four times greater than T3. However, T3 is more potent than T4. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
T4 - INACTIVE form of thyroid needs to convert to T3 - ACTIVE form of thyroid in your gut and liver. If your gut microbiome is a mess, conversion does not occur. If your liver does not make enough glutathione (mother of antioxidants and detoxifier) conversion also does not occur. Thus, the thyroid becomes "slugglish" and so is your scale 😩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I celebrated my 49th birthday this pass week and will start my 10 Day Reset and Renew Monday. Be part of my #wellnesstribe and join me on this wellness journey!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hashimoto's thyroiditis affects your thyroid homeo

Hashimoto's thyroiditis affects your thyroid homeostasis via the destruction of your thyroid gland. Hashimoto's affects 10 percent of the US population and is seven times more prevalent in women. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
More than 90 percent of patients with Hashimoto's have elevated TPO (thyroid peroxidase antibodies). These antibodies attack and destroy your thyroid gland. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hashimoto's comprises a vicious cycle of triggers such as stress, food intolerances, gluten sensitivity, low iron, intestinal hyperpermeability (leaky gut), toxin overload, leading to a downward spiral of nutrient depletion of B12, zinc, selenium, etc. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hashimoto's symptoms may include: cold hands and feet, thinning hair, weight gain, increased in body fat, decreased energy, lack of focus, depression, menstrual irregularities, skin and gut issues.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make sure you ask your healthcare provider to order a comprehensive thyroid panel.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let's TEST and not guess!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Why do I feel like 💩? Could it be my thyroid?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many symptoms of hypothyroidism usually develop slowly and you may not realize that you have a medical problem for several years. Hypothyroidism may be often attributed by three factors: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Decrease in hormone production by the thyroid gland 😴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Decreased conversion of T4, inactive thyroid to T3, active thyroid - hence, scale won't budge 😩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Resistance at the receptor site, due to environmental toxins 🍔🍟🌭✈️🚘💊🦠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Low T3 concentrations at a cellular level are a significant contributor to the symptoms of hypothyroidism, despite "NORMAL" blood levels. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that hypothyroidism is the second most common endocrine disorder among women?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it comes to optimizing your thyroid, it is important to order a comprehensive thyroid panel.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Glutathione is known as the mother of all antioxid

Glutathione is known as the mother of all antioxidants. It is produced your cells. It’s comprised largely of three amino acids: glutamine, glycine, and cysteine. Glutathione is also considered as a peptide.
As your body ages, glutathione levels in your body declines. However, the glutathione levels in your body may also be reduced by a number of factors, such as poor nutrition 🍕🍔🍟, environmental toxins 🦠, stress 🤯 and excessive alcohol 🍺 🍷 🥃🍸🍹🥂 consumption.
Although I live a healthy lifestyle, eating right and exercising isn’t enough. I believe in protecting my body at a cellular level, decelerate my aging process 😉
I use these injections for my overall health!

“Every leaf 🍂 speaks bliss to me, fluttering

“Every leaf 🍂 speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn 🍁 tree “
- Emily Bronte
Having a positive mindset helps your coping mechanism when dealing with stress. It can also help to improve your health, lessen the feelings of overwhelmed, lower feelings of depression, regain vitality and even increase lifespan!
Having a positive mindset doesn’t mean you ignore life’s unpleasant situations. Positive mindset means you retrain your mind to look at things from a different prospective but in a positive and productive way.
I, myself sometimes fall into the cycle of feeling overwhelmed. How do I “snap” out of it?
By these 5 Steps:
1. Keep a Gratitude Journal 📔 - daily, write 5 positive things that happened.
2. Identify areas that you need to change - delete negative self talk throughout the day.
3. Smile more - yes, we can see your smile 😀 under your mask 😷
4. Surround yourself with positive people. Negative people may increase your stress level and are draining. Take notice, positive people vibrates on a different frequency, they attract more luck 🍀 and opportunities 😉 Positive people attract a positive tribe.
5. Follow a healthy lifestyle. Fuel ⛽️ your mind and body 💪🏻 with the right nutrients. Add movement into your daily routine 🏃🏻‍♀️🏋🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♀️🙃🙂
