“The thyroid gland provides an unchanging basal level of thyroid hormone to keep the basic metabolic rate of all cells at a constant level, and provides the overall set point of this endocrine axis.” <\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

By looking at my thyroid this way, I see it kind of like a thermostat. But messing with the thermostat most likely isn’t going to do much if the furnace is broken and making noises. We need to repair the furnace before it will function properly. In this example, our furnace is mainly our liver but also various other organs. Our body is trying to work together in unison.<\/p>\n

What helped me finally start resolving my thyroid symptoms, was learning how to support my liver. I did this by learning how to\u00a0eat real food\u00a0and cut out chemicals etc that I figured out were not working well with my body. I cover the general idea of being toxic, how I started eating better food, and how I support my detox pathways in general here http:\/\/whyiodine.com\/what-is-detox\/<\/a> I expand on my liver support below.<\/p>\n

Eventually I learned how important stomach acid and fat digestion are for general health and thyroid health specifically. I had dealt with minor stomach acid symptoms for a long time, and avoided certain types of meals due to their fat content without even realizing why.<\/p>\n
