The thyroid gland is the master endocrine gland that regulates metabolism and energy. Mainstream medicine views the thyroid as an isolated organ and only treats the thyroid when lab tests indicate that it is not functioning up to par.
Holistic medicine takes a broader view of thyroid health, considers its relationship to other signs and symptoms and works in conjunction with other endocrine glands such as the adrenals. Thyroid imbalance can cause low body temperature , cold intolerance, difficulty losing fat, red face and flushing, hairloss on your eyebrows and other areas!
Nutritional components can support thyroid health! These include Selenium, Zinc, Iodine, Vitamin B-12, Vitamin D and maintaining a healthy microbiome.
