This subject brings a lot of patients to my office. More often than not people who have low thyroid levels and are struggling with weight loss are looking for a quick fix. Better yet, they want to know why they have been working so hard to lose weight and nothing happened.
Some of them have been dismissed from other practices “for not trying hard enough.” When I listened to these people’s history, so many of them have been athletic women, dancers. Also they were very active and aggressive athletes in their younger life. This is how I knew most of them were telling the truth. If you have been a competitive athlete, then you know what self sacrifice is to gain a goal. I was sure they had worked very hard and lost very little.
I took a look at their eyebrows. If they were missing the outer 1/3 of the brow or it was thin, that is a major clue. Dry skin, cool hands and feet, puffiness about the face and a swelling about the ankles that would not dent very much. This means low thyroid levels. Test it if you like, if the blood test comes back normal, well that means very little. Now you can go to the drug store and ask for the best skin-test-thermometer. It is called Geriderm. Most drugstores have them. Take your morning temp in the first 3 minutes that you are up. If it is 97 or below, you must follow on to my videos and other articles about low thyroid levels. Do consult your physician for his following you and monitoring your progress. The thyroid supplement we offer is across the counter thyroid. The Iodine is detoxified. Most important is the protocol for starting and adjusting your dose while losing weight with low thyroid levels.
If you don’t fire up your thyroid here is what happens. You don’t lose weight. How can you burn the fat? The thyroid is in control of the burn rate. This is a large part of why you are overweight, and why you can work very hard and still not lose anything at all. Next, when you semi-starve, your will thyroid slow down in an effort to keep you from dying. Now you are in double trouble.
It is important to add the iodine we offer too. The protocol helps you start and adjust the dose. That puts you in the same boat, probably, due to the lack of Iodine in our diet. Oh yes, the Iodine in the salt, forget it. It is just enough to keep you from getting a goiter. You have to eat a lot of sea vegetables. The Japanese do. I lived there 2 years as a Navy doctor. We don’t come close to eating the diet they do. “Not many fat Japanese then”
To conclude: It is near impossible to lose weight and keep it off if you suffer from low thyroid levels. Losing weight, Forget it. You need to follow my protocol to heal yourself so you can lose weight and feel better again.
