Are you tired, have brain-fog or can’t lose weight?...It could be your Thyroid!

Many people suffer from fatigue, weight gain, poor memory and even depression, believing they have no choice but to live with it. Some have even been to their GP and told ‘you’re fine!’

Healthy energy levels depend on the thyroid gland, because it governs our metabolic rate and our core body temperature. Our metabolic rate is the rate at which we burn calories and turn it into energy.
If our thyroid function is low, it slows down energy production and all metabolic processes.

It could be your Thyroid cont'd

Since your metabolism and core temperature become lower, you’ll not be burning as many calories and you might feel the cold more. Not burning calories efficiently is why many people with low thyroid function find it hard to lose weight.

Vanessa, our experienced naturopath uses temperature charting as a way to assess thyroid (and adrenal stress) function. 

‘If a person has a morning temperature (before getting out of bed) less than 36.4 degrees for 3 or more days; they likely have low thyroid function, which could be affecting their vitality in many different ways’.
(For menstruating women, this should be measured during days 2-10 of their cycle).

Underactive thyroid is often overlooked or misdiagnosed and may initially appear within normal lab test parameters, yet there are clear signs and symptoms of low thyroid function. 

Sometimes there are contributing factors such as mineral imbalance, adrenal and hormonal issues, so it’s important to uncover the underlying cause by having a thorough naturopathic consultation and testing where needed.

Vanessa is very experienced is treating low thyroid function using personalised nutrition, herbs and lifestyle advice. 

‘It’s so great to see my clients get their energy and passion for life back, once we’ve improved their thyroid and adrenal function’.
