Menopause Symptoms and that sneaky little gland (con't)...

Women, it seems, are more susceptible to low thyroid function
by approximately 8 to 1, according to Gillian Ford, author of
"Linking Thyroid and Depression".

Why?

Maybe its because so many women have taken on the
role of superwoman! Mother, wife, career professional,
from chief cook to bottle washer. It's no wonder women
have the highest incidence of chronic fatigue and
fibromyalgia in history!

A major challenge is that thyroid function is not being
detected adequately. Yet, there are 2 simple tests that
can be done. The problem can then be easily corrected
with a health program that brings the thyroid to
normal levels.


First Test
The first test is the basal thermometer test. Before you
get out of bed in the morning, take your temperature.
Lay in bed for at least 10 minutes to get an accurate
reading. Record your temperature and repeat this
for 3 days. Once you get this average, you will be
able to see if your thyroid is functioning at a high or
low level.

Second Test
The second test involves buying iodine at your local
drugstore. Then make a small dab on the inside of
your arm or thigh. If it disappears within 15 minutes,
your thyroid is definitely on the low side.

Let's fix it!
Ok, so now you know roughly that your thyroid could
be a bit out of balance. What do you do next?

In my clinic, I have found one of the quickest ways to
get the thyroid back into balance is to take kelp tabs.
Liquid dulse can also be taken, as well as eating nori
seaweed, sprinkling it on salads, soups, etc. The
seaweed is one of the highest sources of natural
iodine.

Need more help?
Many women simply don't want to try all this by
themselves the first time. If you feel like you need
extra help, feel free to contact me to set up a time
and I can personally help you with your program.

The sneaky, most overlooked little gland that may be causing your menopause symptoms

Of all the sneaky, subtle problems that can affect your health,
probably the one most overlooked is the thyroid gland. Often
totally unexpected, it can cause a tremendously broad range
of problems. From:

• low energy to
• repeated infections
• headaches
• poor circulation (ever get cold hands and feet?)
• dry skin
• thinning hair
• fluid rentention especially in your face or ankles...

...just to name a few of the symptoms. Moreover, it now
appears that unsuspected thyroid deficiency is a key
factor in heart attacks.

What Does the Thyroid Do?
The thyroid is a small butterfly shaped gland located
in the base of the neck. It weighs less than 1 ounce,
yet its hormones secretion control body metabolism.

Too much thyroid hormone, called hyperthyroidism,
can keep your body feeling like its racing and produce
weight loss and irritability.

Too little thyroid hormone, called hypothyroidism,
can slow the processes, affecting both physical and
mental clarity.
