I wanted to share the key highlights from the thyroid seminar I just completed.
Did you know that …?
1/4-1/3 of patients who developed SARS-CoV-2 developed a thyroid condition initially caused by a big inflammatory response to virus entering the thyroid?
*SARS~CoV-2 recognises angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE2) as its receptor on the host cell, which is largely expressed by the cells of the thyroid – ACE2 expression is responsible for direct cellular damage to the thyroid gland, due to viral entry and sustained replication?
* Mental and physical fatigue is the biggest symptom of all thyroid conditions.
*Natural killer cells increase during sleep : crucial for host immunity.
*Low white blood cell count is linked with the following s
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Immune compromised patients
Low neutrophils or lymphocytes
Autoimmunity
*Iron supports metabolism of thyroid hormones and is required for:
Conversion of T4 to T3
Uptake of thyroid hormones at receptor
Thyroid peroxidase activity therefore active metabolism on your cell.
Start your day the best way with foods that support and nourish your thyroid and therefore mental and metabolic health: Intermittent fasting in the morning is causing lots of stress to your thyroid if you are woman due to your very different hormonal and metabolism cycles.
