Stress and Thyroid!

Hello! I love to educate! If you’ve been getting information from me for a while, you’ve figured out no area of the body is a solo act. Everything is tied together. This is the case, also, with the thyroid gland. Today we’ll focus on how stress interacts with this gland. When we are stressed, our adrenal glands (known as the fight or flight glands) will put out adrenaline and cortisol to help our body mechanisms kick in for self-preservation (a topic for later). Several areas kick into gear and one is these steroid hormones slow down the thyroid gland due to a feedback loop connecting the two areas. Chronic stress is not your thyroid’s friend!
We can’t always control our circumstances but we can protect ourselves from it. There are some key natural herbs that have been proven in clinical studies to help with this. I have been so thankful to have been working with these natural herbs to help others in this area.

These key herbs will blunt the output of the stress hormones by the adrenal glands. This protects the adrenals from weakening as they were not meant to chronically be in the fight or flight mode. This was to be a rare event.
In today’s fast paced world, it is so nice to know that there are clinically proven products  that can help you feel more calm without making you drowsy. And you won’t have the side effects of some of the meds for anxiety: weakness, confusion, depression, irritability, fever, cough, infections……. I love helping you be too informed to fail! Want to know more on how to target your adrenals? Reach out to me and I am happy to share.   Tricia
