Thyroid Function - Is your Thyroid Function off?

In my 20's and early 30's I had Hashimotos and Hyperthyroidism, and for the most part didn't know.  At 36, and pregnant they found a nodule on my thyroid.  It was folicular and papillary carcinoma.  Since that time I have learned a lot about thyroid issues and how to live without a thyroid.

If your thyroid is not functioning properly you may want to consider changing some things in your diet.  You are what you eat, and our endocrine system takes a huge hit from the 'food like substances' we as a society eat.

Don't take your body for granted.  Can food really heal my body?  Yes, REAL food can.  If you have questions and would like guidance to regain heal.  Schedule an appointment with me.  It doesn't matter where you live, we can have a phone consultation, or skype.

Thyroid info and nutrition you can change to improve your thyroid function. 

Selenium: Produces and regulates the T3 hormone and is a mineral critical for the proper functioning of your thyroid gland. It can be found in foods such as shitake mushrooms and brazil nuts.

Zinc, Iron and Copper: You only need these minerals in trace amounts. If you have low levels of zinc, your TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) can show low.  If you have iron deficiencies, you could have a decreased thyroid efficiency. Copper helps the production of thyroid hormones. Foods such as, spinach, mushrooms, turnip greens and Swiss chard are great to have in your diet to help get these minerals into your body.

Omega-3 Fats: We know play a huge role in endocrine health and especially thyroid function.

Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is made up of mostly medium-chain fatty acids and has many different health modes.  Just taking a tablespoon a day of Coconut oil is healthy for many funcitions within your body, one of which may help to increase metabolism, along with thyroid benefits.

Antioxidants and B Vitamins: Oxidative stress can damage the thyroid.  So by adding antioxidants and B Vitamins your body will neutralize the oxidative stress in your body helping your entire endocrine system, especially your thyroid function.  The manufacture of thyroid hormone in the body can be promoted by vitamin B intake and plays an important role in healthy thyroid function.

Stay away from soy, gluten and aspartame, for thyroid function but for any reason.  Soy and aspartame should not be part of anyone's diet.

Food - Whole Food - Its Protective Power - Part 1

We have become so far removed from what real food is, by way of advertisements.  Have you ever paid attention to what those ads do to your desire by listening and watching them?  Those advertisers know that.  That is why they do it.

Try paying attention to when you see an ad and what you might eat over the following 24 hours, or desire to eat.

Is it 'real food' or is it the food like substance you just saw in the ad.  If what you eat comes in a box, it is not real food.  It is not, most likely going to be healthy for you.  Are there more than 3 ingredients?  Put it back and go to the outer skirts of the grocery store.

In this series of blogs I am going to be going through the Rainbow of phytonutrients.  Writing about the Antioxidants by the color of the food.  If we learn to look at our food, real food, by color and what it can help in our bodies we can slowly regain the health in our country.

It really is not more expensive to eat healthy.  How expensive is it to miss work, pay a co-pay at a Dr office, or even for your pharmaceuticals?  When you heal your body through the foods you eat, and give your body the nutrients it needs, you will eat the right amounts.  When you eat the 'food like substances' that are void of nutrients, your body is craving more, so you eat more, but still... it lacks nutrients, so the body starts demanding more.  Hence the situation of the undernourished over fed society we live in.

But how do we do this, how do we know what to eat and be healthy?  We have been told so many untruths about food that it is hard to decypher what to eat.

In my group sessions I guide people to learn how to do that.  To know.  To understand.  To gain health.

Reflexology - Holistic Health - Essential Oils - Real Food Supplements - Group sessions

Wow... that is a lot to try to understand.  This is what I do...

I am a Reflexologist.  So that means I work on the reflex points on your feet, hands, ears.  Mainly I work on your feet.  You don't come to me because your feet hurt.  That is not what I do.  Although your feet may hurt because something in your body is not working as it should. 

I work on the feet to help your body to heal and clear up 'clogged' points of health in your body.  Have you ever questioned when you cut yourself that the cut would heal?  There is a lot we take for granted that our bodies do, but then we forget that our bodies can do so much to stay healthy when given the right 'tools' to do so.  So me working on your feet will help your body to 'get right'.  The process may sometimes be slow, but that is how our bodies work.

Helping people gain health by way of Reflexology is rewarding.  But then the old issue may come up again so then they think that Reflexology did nothing to help.  When in reality, what you do after the appointment is important.  If you go and do the 'same ole same ole', your body is going to go back to the same point of ill health. 

That is why I studied with IIN to become a Holistic Health Practitioner on top of Reflexology.

I am a Holistic Health Practitioner. I want to help you gain whole health.  So yes, reflexology can help you on many levels, but all the other things that go on with your body need guidance too, to get to that level of health you desire and stay there and even continue to gain more and more health over time. 

I am Certified with Essential Oils and a Supplement specialist.  Our bodies are amazing and can heal, given the right food.  God's medicine is the whole food's He gave us in the real form He gave them to us, and the Living Essential Oils in nature He gave us too.  Since we have been driven away from 'real food' and really eat more 'Food Like Substances', and even our real food has been nutritionally depleted, I have a line of NON-Synthetic Real Food supplements.  The main product is our Ambrotose - the food for our cells, 8 glyconutrients. 

So how is it I help you now.  I like to approach you and what you might be dealing with on a whole person level.  Each of the 4 parts I offer, Reflexology, Holistic Health, Living Essential Oils and Real Food Supplements are what I have put together to guide you to living healthier, feeling better, healing. 

We can "WalkToHealth(with)me" together.  And one step at a time get you closer to your health goals. 

If you have a group of 10 -20 people who desire being healthier, happier, and to get off some prescriptions over time, contact me.  I have a 6 month program that I offer.  We would meet 2 times a month for 90 minutes as a group for 6 months.  This program can be done via internet, or in person if you are in my area.  But we can do this together no matter where you live.

I integrate much of what I do in all that I do with you.  Go to my booking site to get an idea of what I offer and schedule your treatment today.  The holistic group sessions are not listed on that page.  Those are scheduled separate from that calendar on a group by group time set.
