Reversing Hypothyroidism the Natural Way
Metabolism is the process that keeps us alive, and it’s controlled by hormones made by a small gland in our neck called the thyroid. This gland produces two important hormones—T3 and T4—that help control energy, heart rate, body temperature, and more.
Sometimes, the thyroid becomes underactive, meaning it doesn’t make enough hormones. This condition is called hypothyroidism and is most common in women over 40.
What Causes Hypothyroidism?
- Autoimmune issues like Hashimoto’s disease, where the immune system attacks the thyroid
- Lack of iodine in the diet
- Zinc deficiency, which affects hormone production
- Certain medicines that interfere with thyroid function
Common Symptoms
- Feeling tired or weak
- Weight gain
- Constipation
- Depression
