What to Recommend for Hypo-thyroidism (low functioning thyroid) By Paula Steinbach on Thursday, October 31, 2013 I have to share something amazing with you all!!! I see a lot of questions here about what is good to recommend to someone with a low thyroid...read on! :) I have had a low thyroid for about 3 years now, and it made it incredibly difficult to lose weight, as well as I would suffer on and off from depression. Until recently, I was on a rather high dose of synthroid, and it seemed to be the only answer. Once I became an It Works! distributor, I started discovering all of these products that contain AMAZING ingredients that are awesome for thyroid function! Heres what I have been taking recently, and the key ingredients for thyroid support: - 1 package of Its Vital Complete Nutrition every day (usually in the morning) - dulse is a key component in the Its Vital multivitamin, plus LOTS of zinc and selenium in the Its Vital Minerals blend - 2 Confianza every morning (Moods and energy levels are often affected by people with thyroid imbalances. Plus Im a stay-at-home mom with a toddler...Im sure she appreciates me taking these, ha ha) - 1 New You every morning - 2 ThermoFit every morning, and an extra 1 before a workout - awesome for boosting the metabolism, which often slows WAY down when the thyroid is not functioning correctly, and combats the extra weight Ive put on while dealing with all this! - 6 scoops of Greens every day - again, dulse is a key component, as well as LOTS of micronutrients and nourishment, which can curb cravings for foods that can actually HARM the thyroid - 1 ProFit smoothie every day, with an extra Maca supplement (Maca is AWESOME for the thyroid!), and an extra scoop after a workout if its a workout day - Fat Fighters as needed (As I mentioned above, certain foods can harm the thyroid and slow down the metabolism. If Ive eaten something I know I shouldnt have, I make sure to take the Fat Fighters and get right back on track!) - 2 New You at bedtime - the body has an impaired response to several of the key amino acids present in our everyday foods, so it is CRUCIAL to supplement those important amino acids, each of which are present in the New You blend. - 1 extra tab of the Its Vital Minerals blend at bedtime, for extra zinc and selenium- these help bind Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (which is produced by the pituitary gland) to the thyroid, which triggers the thyroid to work properly - 2 Confianza at bedtime - 1 ThermoFit at bedtime - Due to a sluggish metabolism, people with a low thyroid tend to feel cold A LOT, and are very intolerant of cold. The ThermoFit is naturally warming, and I can skip the wool socks and sweats at bedtime! (Youre welcome, husband) So, what has been the effect of all this? Most people feel better with Thyroid Stimulating Hormone levels around 1-2 (Remember, TSH triggers the thyroid to work properly. If the thyroid is not working properly, the body will put out extra TSH to try and get it going again. Most Drs measure thyroid function by measuring TSH levels in the blood). At its worst, my TSH was at 25- yes, I was depressed, overweight and miserable. Thats when I went on the high dose of synthroid. Then I started the above regime, lost 12 pounds, and last month, I noticed after taking my synthroid that I was having heart palpitations, and a strange buzzing feeling in my arms (no other way to describe it)...all signs of my thyroid being hyper (HIGH!). So I started splitting my synthroid tabs in 2 for a week...same thing. I went off the synthroid for about a month, had my blood work redone, and I NO LONGER NEED THE SYNTHROID!!! WOOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!! All this to say...IT WORKS!!! - Anita Wester I can provide ALL of these products!!!! :) Message me here to find out more .......................
