UltraWellness Key #4: How to Keep Your Hormones in Balance
| November 12, 2010 | 4:35 am | Thyroid Booster | 12 Comments

In this 5th installment of the UltraWellness series, Mark Hyman, MD will tell you how to keep your neurotransmitter and hormone systems from getting out of whack. For a more detailed explanation of this, please visit his blog at www.ultrawellness.com

On the list of fun things to do, losing weight never gets a callback. At 34 years of age, I have wasted over 20 years of my life chasing the cookie cutter dragon of slimness with detrimental results that will last a lifetime. Unfortunately, giving up and letting my weight go where it might has only increased the threat over my remaining health, and so between the two extremes, the truth must out. I don’t have rigorous exercise in mind (though in my 20′s I used to punish my joints with 45 minutes of aerobics 5-6 times a week, which oddly didn’t seem to accomplish much unless I ate nothing but small salads all day–something ELSE I don’t propose doing this time ’round) So, at 5’5″ and 242 llbs (roughly 109 kg), already down from 255 lbs., I’ll muddle my way through the following months living as best I can and see what goes on.

It is not recommended to treat weight fluctuations.

The medicine should be taken as strictly prescribed by the doctor. Dose changes instructed by the doctor should be strictly followed. The medicine should be taken half an hour before food on an empty stomach with a full glass of water. The medicine should be taken at the same time every day, preferably in the morning or according to doctor’s instructions. The medicine might take weeks to show visible differences.

Speeding Up With Thyroid Hormones – The Effect of Thyroid Hormones on Metabolism
| July 20, 2010 | 10:51 pm | Thyroid Booster | No comments

Speeding Up With Thyroid Hormones – The Effect of Thyroid Hormones on Metabolism

The thyroid hormones are known to be able to increase the metabolic rates of many tissues in the body. These hormones are produced by the thyroid gland, a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck directly in front of the trachea. This gland consists of the left and the right lobe, which are both connected by a small connecting branch or the isthmus.

The thyroid is unique among the other endocrine glands in that it requires a trace element in the production of its hormones. This trace element is iodine. Another unique feature of the thyroid gland is its ability to store the hormones it produces inside follicles whereas the other endocrine glands produce the hormones and secrete them immediately.

These hormones affect the body’s tissues in several ways but most notably, they increase the metabolic rates of these many tissues. Let us discuss the effect of these specific hormones on carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism.

Carbohydrate Metabolism

All aspects of carbohydrate metabolism are increased by thyroid influence, including glucose production by the liver particularly through gluconeogenesis. Gluconeogenesis is the production of glucose by the liver from stored fats or proteins. This effect does not increase plasma glucose concentrations because the pancreas are also stimulated by the hormone to secrete increased amounts of insulin to keep up with increased glucose production.

The hormone also enhance the availability of the materials required for gluconeogenesis. Specifically, this is done by increasing the expression of key enzymes of gluconeogenesis like phosphoenolpyruvate carboxyinase, pyruvate carboxylase, and glucose-6-phosphatase.

Fat Metabolism

Like carbohydrates, all aspects of fat metabolism are increased by the presence of increased concentrations of the hormone in circulation. Lipids, in particular, are rapidly mobilized from surrounding adipose tissues, decreasing the fat stores of the body more than any other tissue element. The glycerol required for the increased gluconeogenesis comes from these surrounding tissues.

The hormones also enhance lipogenesis in addition to lipolysis. Only very small amounts of hormone are necessary to maintain the normal synthesis of free fatty acids by the liver. Very high levels of hormone can cause the balance to shift in favor of lipolysis, which can cause depletion of fat stores.

The cycle of synthesis and degradation proceeds to such an extent that it becomes a futile cycle. This contributes to the increased oxygen consumption often seen in thyrotoxicosis.

Protein Metabolism

The amino acids required for continued hepatic gluconeogenesis are also derived from proteolysis, particularly muscle proteins. Thyroid hormones also increase protein synthesis but the degradation of protein usually outweighs the synthesis so there is still net loss of muscle proteins. This is particularly observed in cases of excessive triiodothyronine production wherein muscle wasting and weakness occur as well as increased nitrogen loss through the urine as urea.

Thyroid Hormones And Women?Alternative Treatments For Thyroid Conditions In Tampa,fl

THYROID HORMONES AND WOMEN—ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS FOR THYROID CONDITIONS 

Inside This Report You’ll Discover… 

Ø The Most Common Reasons Women Get Thyroid Problems
Ø How To Tell If You Might Have A Thyroid Condition
Ø Why Some Thyroid Conditions Are Reversible
Ø How To Determine If Your Doctor Is Doing Everything Possible To Fix Your Thyroid Condition (Most Are Not)
Ø New Advancements In The Treatment Of Thyroid Conditions
Ø Why You May Not Need Medication At All
Ø The Different Types Of Thyroid Conditions And Their Symptoms
Ø New Testing For Thyroid Disorders

After studying more about thyroid disorders, I realized how poorly diagnosed and treated thyroid conditions are.  I also noticed a very disturbing trend in the current treatment approach for these conditions, which I’ll reveal in a moment.

First, let’s learn more about how the thyroid works… 

In healthy people, the thyroid makes just the rightamountsof two hormones, T3 and T4.  These hormones have important actions throughout the body. Most importantly, they regulate many aspects of our metabolism, affecting how many calories we burn, how warm we feel, how much we weigh…and our general well-being. 

In short, the thyroid “runs” our metabolism—it’s

literally the “gas pedal” of the body.

 Thyroid hormones also have direct effects on most organs, including the heart which beats faster and harder under the influence of increased thyroid hormones (this is why heart problems can often accompany chronic thyroid problems in women, and perhaps why heart problems are more common in women under the age of 50). 

          T3 is the more biologically active hormone (it’s more important for cellular function), and in fact most of T4 (80%) is converted to T3 in the body’s peripheral tissues.  So T4 is just a precursor for the more active hormone, T3. 

          One of the problems in some thyroid disorders is that you may have trouble converting T4 to T3 in your tissues (have you been checked for this?).  This can create a deficiency of T3, disrupting the body’s ability to properly regulate metabolism…leading to specific symptoms. 

          One of the controversial aspects of the most common thyroid medication, Synthroid, is that it is only T4.  If you have difficulty converting T4 to T3 (and Synthroid is a synthetic form of T4, mind you) then this medication is not as effective.

Now, back to that disturbing trend I observed concerning the treatment of thyroid conditions…the disturbing trend: most thyroid sufferers are treated exactly the same!  

          This really bothers me because I understand from my knowledge of neurology that no two people react the same…especially with endocrine dysfunction. 

Then why are all thyroid sufferers treated the same? 

          Did you know that there are MANY different blood tests that can be analyzed in order to determine exactly how your thyroid is affected?  Most doctors just use the same old blood tests and never bother checking beyond those.

Ultimate Fat Burners and the Role of Thyroid Hormones

Ultimate Fat Burners and the Role of Thyroid Hormones

Consuming less calories doesn’t seem to be a good solution for fat loss. The reason: When you consume less calories, the body slows down metabolism making fat loss that much more difficult. You see, the levels of thyroid hormone, which help support metabolism, drop off when calories decline. But there are some good substances which can support thyroid levels so that burning the calories while dieting is not a headache.

Phosphates, 7-Keto and Guggulsterone are what we are talking about. Phosphates salts of sodium, calcium, potassium keep thyroid levels up while dieting. A study showed that women eating as few as 1,000 calories per day increased their metabolism by 12%-19% when taking a supplement that consisted of sodium phosphate 25mg., potassium phosphate 107 mg., and calcium phosphate 537 mg. 7-Keto which is a precursor to DHEA that supports thyroid levels. A study showed that overweight women taking 200 mg. daily lost more weight than those not taking the supplement. Guggulsterone is a plant derivate common to India that supports thyroid hormones which has been used for hundreds of years in Asia as a weight-loss remedy. It helps burn fat and can help lower cholesterol.

Some people lose more weight on high protein diet than a high carb or high fat diet. It takes energy to digest food. Consuming one gram of protein (5.65 calories) yields only 4.0 calories of energy. One gram of fats (9.4 calories) yields 8.9 calories of energy. One gram of carbohydrates (4.1 calories) yields 4.0 calories of energy. You lose nearly 30% of the energy when consuming protein, but only 7% from fat, and 2% from carbohydrates. This accounts for about half the weight loss difference from people on a high carb vs. low carb diet. The other half is due to water loss in people on a low carb diet.

Whether you are on a diet or not, hgh or antiaging human growth hormone products like dhea or genf20 are something you should definitely have a look at.The Medical Profession have gone into a lot of research over the last 50 years into exactly what Human Growth Hormones are and exactly how they affect your overall health and well-being. The facts and figures speak for themselves.Other hgh human growth hormone research clinical studies performed over the past 30 years have demonstrated that hgh can allow users to lose fat, build muscle mass, improve sexual performance, remove wrinkles, eliminate cellulite, and increase immune function when taken through intra-muscular injections. Hgh is the master hormone which is secreted by the pituitary gland and is responsible for directly and indirectly balancing the body’s critical hormones.

For comprehensive Reviews on best Hgh products and Antiaging Products , a thorough research is required. And the number one method for convincing your body to generate HGH is high intensity strength training.

I’m Taking Pig Hormones! A Look at Natural Thyroid

What’s a common disease that over 5 million Americans suffer from and many may not even be aware they have it? Hypothyroidism and related forms of thyroid dysfunction!

The thyroid gland looks like a little bow tie and is located at the base of the throat, below the Adam’s apple in males. Thyroid dysfunction affects both males and females. This gland produces hormones which control the body’s metabolism, your internal thermostat of sorts.

Thyroid dysfunction is generally either an over or under production of the hormone. Under active thyroid hormone production is called hypothyroidism; whereas too much, or overactive thyroid hormone production is called hyperthyroidism.

Some of the symptoms of hypothyroidism include chronic fatigue and weakness, weight gain or difficulty losing weight, hair loss or coarse, dry hair, dry and rough skin, intolerance to cold, abnormal menstrual cycles, decreased sex drive, memory loss, depression and irritability, constipation, muscle cramps. Not all symptoms are always present.

Some doctors prefer to diagnose hypothyroidism with a blood test. They will test to check TSH levels (the thyroid stimulating hormone produced by the pituitary gland) and T4 levels (the main thyroid hormone). Other doctors prefer to take a more holistic approach and are able to diagnose based on symptoms. Morning body temperature readings (below 97.1 consistently) as well as discovery of regular waking up approximately four hours after going to bed, can aid in the diagnosis.

There are chemical, synthetic treatments that can be used to restore healthy thyroid functions, such as Synthroid and Levothyroxine.

Some doctors and sufferers prefer to use a form of natural thyroid hormone extracted from swine and cows. Yup, pig thyroid! It’s the closest to the human thyroid hormone and contains both T4 and T3 thyroid hormones.

Naturopaths have long recognized that there are very effective herbs that can help to promote healthy thyroid functioning and restore thyroid health.

Armour, a natural thyroid is available by prescription. T-100 is another brand of natural thyroid that can be obtained through holistic processionals. Regular use of natural thyroid can help to restore deficient iodine levels, while also stimulating the thyroid to produce crucial thyroid hormones, thereby treating hypothyroidism.

Bladder wrack or kelp, Licorice, Saw Palmetto and Ginger (root) have also been known to stimulate the thyroid to release thyroid hormones and is therefore beneficial in the treatment of hypothyroidism.

If you’re not comfortable taking synthetic medications, give natural thyroid a chance. It’s the closest match to human thyroid and can leave you feeling worlds better. Even natural supplements need to be under the care of your physician. Please do not self medicate.
