Your thyroid powers every cell in your body.
The thyroid sets the pace for your body to function and operate. Like a car engine, it produces the needed amount of energy to move at whatever speed you want.
Your thyroid gland produces enough thyroid hormones that prompt your cells to function at a certain rate, or metabolic rate.
Just as a car needs fuel, your thyroid needs “fuel” to make these hormones as well. This “fuel” is none other than iodine! Your thyroid extracts this necessary ingredient from your bloodstream or oral intake of iodine.
Although iodine is found naturally in food, it is often removed during food processing. As a result, we eat way too little iodine.
Just like how a car accelerator produces more energy, your body “accelerator” controls how fast it goes. This accelerator is no larger than a pea and is known as the pituitary or “master” gland. Located at the base of your brain, it controls your thyroid functions and all the other glands that make up the endocrine (hormone) system.
Together, they secrete hormones directly into the circulatory (blood) system to be carried to a distant target organ.
🤯There is a thyroid receptor on every cell in your body!
🔹Thyroid Hormone In The Body:
✅Controls metabolism
✅Can slow down or speed up heart beat
✅Can raise lower body temp
✅Affects how fast food moves through the digestive tract
✅Controls how muscle contract
✅Affects production of follicles and ovulation
Every cell in your body is impacts by the thyroid.
Let that sink in. Thyroid health is often something that is overlooked in women, especially since to be diagnosed the range goes from .4-4 milli-international units per liter. That’s a big range. And here’s the thing, it’s just the “normal” range. This doesn’t mean it’s optimal.
The optimal range for TSH is .5-2. And just because you’re above 2 doesn’t mean you need medication. There are SO many other areas to address for thyroid health before taking medication. We dive into a lot of those in this podcast episode and how you can optimize thyroid health.
I did a podcast episode on The Ali Damron Show and talked about all things Thyroid, please listen and let me know what you think!
