My lady’s doc wants to start her on Levothyroxine. My girl says she’s been fatigued for years, does not like the cold, and can’t get enough coffee.
She’s tried supplementing her diet with kelp for iodine, Brazil nuts for selenium, exercises daily, and takes a vitamin D supplement. Staples in her diet include steak, salmon, and a shit ton of avocados and mixed nuts.
She’s very fit and intelligent, but always tired. Her stress levels are moderate, and very rarely excessive. She does not have anxiety or depression. She sleeps well but always feels like she could use more.
Somebody please read pill me on this low thyroid business. Is it likely that she truly needs to take an exognous thyroid hormone for the rest of her life? I want to put babies in this white woman, but what the hell is going on with the thyroid?
How is this so common? Is this what God intended. Or is the medical establishment hiding some iatrogenic cause for “Hashimoto’s autoimmune thyroiditis”, or is there something in the food supply?
Please help me out if you have some pearls on this one goats, and merry Christmas.
Put her on a gluten free diet. My wife went through the same thing. Please be aware, she's probably not actually averse to gluten, but the glyphosate (Monsanto round up) that gets sprayed on all gluten crops. If you can get flour, sugar, etc that has not been tainted by glyphosate, you don't have to be gluten free. Going to a gluten free diet is just the easiest way to see the results. Hashimotos diagnosis is almost always a bad diagnosis to the wrong problem (or it's purposefully assigned because fuck the pharma industry and doctors and they like to sell pills)
