Is This Your Life At The Moment?
Did you know that these are signs of a Sluggish Thyroid or Hypothyroidism.
The Thyroid is involved in almost every metabolic process in the body and as such is an important indicator of our health. It’s a small gland, shaped like a butterfly, located just below your Adam’s Apple — on the front of the neck. Have a feel, can you feel it?
If you have a few of the signs and symptoms above, then your body is trying to alert you to the fact that things aren’t quite right.
While the causes for a Sluggish Thyroid are varied (diet, the environment and genetics) your Gut Microbiome, play an INTEGRAL part in Thyroid health.
You see…Gastrointestinal Hyper-permeability (aka,Leaky Gut) leads to an overactive Immune System which creates a tonne of inflammation in the body! Inflammation results in your Thyroid trying to constantly normalize things for you.
