Thyroid and Adrenal Health

Many people suffer with symptoms related to slow thyroid function and adrenal fatigue. This can be the core issue when you are feeling tired all the time, notice hormonal symptoms (women and men) and start putting on weight.  

Jan may call on several tests including: saliva hormone testing; blood tests; basal body temperature testing; and, cellular health analysis. These tests help to determine where there are imbalances in your stress and reproductive hormone levels and where your metabolism could be improved.  Jan uses this information to then suggest the most beneficial diet, nutrients and herbal medicine to bring your body back into a vibrant state of health and energy.

Some symptoms you may notice when your thyroid function is not optimal are:

• PMS
• Fatigue 
• Feeling the cold
• Dry skin and hair
• Prone to constipation
• Weight gain, especially abdominal fat
• Prone to flat mood and mild depression
• Hormone issues including infertility 

Adrenal fatigue goes hand-in-hand with thyroid and reproductive hormone imbalance and problems. Typically a person with adrenal fatigue finds it very hard to get through the day without stimulants such as caffeine and sugar. They may feel exhausted from when they wake through the day, or feel exhausted mid afternoon. Over-reacting to challenging situations, delays and change is another sign to watch for so you know when to seek help. 

The good news is that much can be done to improve thyroid and adrenal health. Jan teaches seminars on this subject at Remede Wellness Wednesday nights and has helped many patients over the years with these conditions.
