A gland is an organ in the body that produces and secretes substances such as hormones✍🏽
Examples of gland include thyroid, pancreatic, salivary glands
✍🏽 THYROID GLAND
The thyroid is a small gland in your neck that controls how your body uses energy.
Hyperthyroidism is a condition where your thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone, it causes your body to speed up in ways it should not.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
- You may lose weight even when eating normally or more than usual.
- Your heart might race or beat unevenly, even when you’re resting.
- You could feel jumpy, nervous, or have a hard time relaxing.
- Trembling or shaking in your hands or fingers is common.
- You may feel hot all the time and sweat more than usual.
- Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep is another symptom.
WHAT CAUSES IT?
- The most common cause is “Graves disease”. This is when your immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid, causing it to overproduce hormones.
- Small growths (nodules) on the thyroid can also make too much hormone
- Some people get hyperthyroidism from consuming too much iodine. Excess iodine from food sources, supplements, medications, or topical products can contribute to hyperthyroidism
WHO IS AT RISK?
You are more at risk if:
- You’re a woman
- You have a family history of thyroid problems
- You have other autoimmune conditions (like type 1 diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis)
THERE ARE COMPLICATIONS
- An irregular heartbeat can increase the risk of stroke or heart failure.
- High thyroid hormone levels can cause bones to lose calcium, making them weak (osteoporosis)
- symptoms can suddenly become severe in a situation called “thyroid storm”. This causes a very fast heart rate and high fever.
WAYS TO HEAL YOUR THYROID
1) Eliminate inflammatory foods (processed junk, seed oils, excess sugar)
2) Support your liver (the main T4 to T3 converter)
3) Manage stress (cortisol blocks thyroid receptors)
4) Fix nutrient deficiencies
6. Key nutrients your thyroid needs:
• Magnesium (supports over 300 enzyme processes)
• Iodine (building block of thyroid hormones)
• Selenium (supports T4 to T3 conversion)
• Zinc (essential for hormone production)
• Vitamin D (regulates immune function)
