Nutrition for Hypothyroidism

Negative tests from your GP, but you know that there is something wrong?

Hypothyroidism is the deficiency in the production of thyroid hormones and is very common, in fact between 10 – 25% of people suffer but go undiagnosed. This is mainly because the blood tests carried out by GP’s are not sensitive enough to pick up mild forms of the illness. And although the milder form may not need medication the symptoms can still be debilitating, yet treatable with improved nutrition and supplements. Typical symptoms of an under active thyroid relate to a general slowing down of the body’s function and can include;

• Hoarse voice (Women)
• Fatigue and general lethargy
• Fatigue on waking even after a good nights sleep
• Feeling the cold easily
• Cold hands and feet
• Dry and thickened skin
• Muscle and joint weakness
• Constipation
• Weight gain
• Depression
• Thinning eyebrows, especially the outer third.
• Coarse, thinning hair
• Brittle nails
• Slow movement
• Poor memory
• Fertility problems and increased risk of miscarriage
• Heavy or irregular periods

So if you suspect that you are suffering from an under active thyroid, even if you have been previously tested by a GP with a negative result. Then it worth being tested again, and having a tailor made nutrition programme to specifically suit you, helping to substantially reduce your symptoms.
