Hypothyroidism & Weight Gain
Interference with thyroid hormone is often an underlying
cause of hypothyroidism, which, in turn, is responsible for more than 100 different
symptoms. There are many undesirable effects which include weight gain and fatigue
that cannot be controlled by diet or exercise.
Commonly observed symptoms of Hypothyroidism include
Fatigue
Weight Gain
Dry Skin
Intolerance to Cold/Heat
Muscle Weakness
Sleep Disorders
Swelling of Hands, Feet, Eyelids
Loss of Hair
Heart Palpitation
Unopposed estrogen (estrogen dominance) can interfere
with thyroid hormone activity and is often a primary underlying cause of
thyroid dysfunction.
Because estrogen and thyroid hormone have opposing actions (probably at
the thyroid hormone receptor level) unopposed Estrogen will prevent the
thyroid hormone from "completing its mission," resulting in "hypothyroid
symptoms." This excess estrogen is often responsible for the symptoms of
Hypothyroidism, despite normal serum levels of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
(TSH).
Natural Progesterone, however, re-directs the activity of estrogen by
increasing the sensitivity of estrogen receptors and, most importantly,
inhibits many of unopposed estrogen's undesirable side-effects, which
includes interference with thyroid hormone activity.
Most women who are plagued by the symptoms of hypothyroidism have found that
thyroid function has been normalized within a few weeks of using a properly
formulated Natural Progesterone Cream, in conjunction with proven Dietary-
Lifestyle modifications.
Because natural progesterone most often has a normalizing effect on a sluggish
thyroid, the use of thyroid medication may over-stimulate the thyroid gland.
Consult your health care professional if you are taking prescription thyroid
medication.
In addition to a properly formulated Natural Progesterone Cream, many informed
women have found that supplementing with ten kelp tablets per day has a
nourishing effect on thyroid function.
