The Butterfly Inside You: The Tiny, Mighty Thyroid Gland
A busy butterfly lives just below your Adam’s apple that is responsible for the regulation of your inner state of balance, or homeostasis.
Do you suffer with fatigue, weight gain, constipation, brain fog/memory concerns, dry skin, hair loss or low libido? If many of these attributes affect you, it is important to have both your thyroid and adrenal gland assessed to see if they could be contributory factors.
Subclinical hypothyroid, meaning testing may be normal but function is not optimal, can cause life to feel like you are walking through sludge. Adrenal glands can burn out under constant stress and chronic high epinephrine (adrenalin) as well as leptin resistance can wreak havoc on your thyroid hormone balance.
Many doctors only test for TSH, which can miss big pieces of the thyroid puzzle.

The stress of modern everyday life is enough to wear even the healthiest of people down over time. Daily stressors such as a busy lifestyle, as well as more intense stress, such as a fight with a loved one, trouble at work, or a physical injury can take a toll on the adrenal glands.
