Key Takeaways:

Gaining weight out of nowhere without having changed your diet or your exercise is a really big sign that there is something is wrong with your health.
The thing with thyroid issues is you have to really look and see all the different things that could be triggering it and to address all of them.
90% to 97% of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto’s, which is actually an immune system issue, and most of the immune system is located in the gut.
A lot of thyroid patients have nutrient deficiencies and these can be tied to gut infections, especially SIBO (small intestine bacteria overgrowth).
You don’t have to have one symptom in your gut to have a gut infection.
The Paleo diet works very well in supporting thyroid health.
The liver is one of the most nutrient-dense food there is.

Action Steps:

Look at your gut health. Check for yeast overgrowth, bacteria imbalances, low stomach acid, SIBO, leaky gut, etc.
With any vitamin or mineral that you need, try to get it with food first before you resort to any vitamin or mineral supplement.
If you have a mercury filling that you want to be removed, make sure that they are safely removed by a bio dentist.
Use safer beauty products and household cleaning products.
Use essential oils instead of perfumes.

Dr. Becky Campbell said:

“I don’t know one person who doesn’t have some form of stress. I mean, even if it’s not emotional stress, it could be physical stress. So that really plays a role in what our thyroid is doing. The thyroid and the adrenal glands run really hand in hand.”

“So many people really don’t realize the deep impact that the chemicals in our beauty products have on our hormone levels… Not only are they hurting themselves but they’re actually hurting everyone around them, too.”
