detoxing from the birth control pill - Hypothyroidism

[Guest guest]

A lot of women in perimenopause and menopause also experience

Hypothyroidism since hormonal, neurotransmitter and chemical changes

impact the entire endocrine system so profoundly.

 

Unfortunately, Hypothyroidism often goes undiagnosed because the

symptoms mimic those of perimenopause (estrogen dominance). And, many

women think that they're too young to experience that! Think again:

I have women in my groups in their mid 30's already noticing " the

change " .

 

Another challenge is that a standard blood draw for thyroid function

usually comes back " within the normal range " , which is also true for

testing estrogens. The " normal range " is just entirely too broad.

 

If you want/need an accurate read on your thyroid function, saliva

testing is the way to go.

 

Still, it's important that because the symptoms can be similar, we

don't just assume that going through perimenopause or we're estrogen

dominant means we have Hypothyroidism!

I would suggest that you visit/join the hyporthyroid group, and see

if any of your symptoms resonate with the stories from the other

women.

Is there a kit you can purchase to get a saliva test? I am a 45 year

old woman with thinning hair and I understand that it could be a sign

of thyroid problems.

Basc thyroid level is a blood test, which means you have to convince

your Dr. to run the test. If that is not normal, they can do a test

through nuclear medicine that sees how the thyroid is working.

There are lots of places on the internet to find saliva test kits. My

favorite is on Dr. John Lee's site, here: http://www.johnleemd.com/

I would have to disagree here.

 

Blood thryoid tests are inaccurate at best. Most

effective and accurate are saliva tests. However most

medical doctors will not use or do not know about

saliva test.

I'm with you Jenny.

 

A woman can have every single symptom of hypothyroidism and still have

a blood test come back " within the normal range " . Blood tests for

estrogen are the same. Very simply, " the normal range " is just entirely

too broad. Saliva testing is the way to go.

Go and buy the Fat Flush Plan book by Ann Louise Gittleman. You can

turn this around and be healthy. Daphne
