I just found out that…
more than 20 million Americans are diagnosed with Thyroid Disease!
That’s an astounding number, isn’t it?
I started looking into because so many of my friends, students and clients ask me about the thyroid. It seems that everyday, someone either stops me, calls me, or emails me with questions about their thyroid.
Here’s a number even more startling…up to 60 percent of those with a thyroid disorder are UNAWARE anything is wrong. They are medicating themselves with things like sugar, coffee and energy drinks, over the counter sleep aids, cough drops and laxatives to manage their symptoms.
It’s creating a vicious cycle all because they don’t know what the thyroid does, how to help it function better or if is even important. Truth is…I didn’t know either!
I started digging. In a nutshell, this is what I found…
The Thyroid is a gland of the body that influences every single cell, tissue and organ in your body. It produces hormones that regulate your metabolism, balances your energy and heart rate.
That means it’s super important to keep it healthy with prevention and nutrition. If it gets sick, it has to be given supportive nourishment (in the form of nutrition and lifestyle) and adequate time to heal (it can take a long time). If it is so far gone that the body cannot heal it, this very important gland might have to be removed. Medication may or may not be necessary for the rest of you life.
My Super Radical Belief—I’m a firm believer that the body is designed to heal. I believe that when the body is given optimal nourishment and lifestyle it can return to it’s [our body’s] optimal health.
Having a thyroid that’s out of whack doesn’t have to mean that your life has to be miserable or that you will have your eyebrows tattooed on. It does mean you will need to make changes in your nutrition and your lifestyle.
My teacher Andrea Beaman, author, holistic health coach and Top Chef contestent, healed her outrageously enlarged thyroid with time, nutrition, and love.
She refused to believe the doctors pessimistic prognosis and challenged herself to find the answers. She found the holistic cause and worked holistically to heal her thyroid.
If you’re lucky enough to meet her in person, you will see and feel that she actually radiates health and vitality!
I always refer anyone with thyroid concerns to look her up. Now, I’m thrilled to let you know that she is offering an online course to help you find the answers your doctor just can’t give you.
If you have had it with fatigue, unexplained weight gain or loss, thinning eyebrows, brittle hair, scaly skin or uh-em…bowel problems do yourself, and your family, a favor, check it out.
Let her teach you to find your radiant optimal wellness. Be sure to tell her Rommy sent you!
