What Are Thyroid & Hormonal Imbalances?
The thyroid gland, located in your neck, produces hormones like T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine) that regulate metabolism, heart rate, body temperature, and energy levels. Imbalances occur when:
- Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid): Low T3/T4 levels, commonly due to Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (autoimmune).
- Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid): Excess T3/T4, often due to Graves’ disease (autoimmune).
Other hormonal imbalances involve:
- Cortisol (stress hormone)
- Insulin (blood sugar regulation)
- Estrogen & Progesterone (female reproductive hormones)
These imbalances impact:
- Weight and metabolism
- Fertility and menstrual regularity
- Energy, mental clarity, and mood
Root Causes of Thyroid & Hormonal Issues
- Autoimmune conditions (Hashimoto’s, Graves’ disease)
- Micronutrient deficiencies, especially:
- Iodine – essential for T3/T4 synthesis
- Selenium – for T4 to T3 conversion
- Zinc, Iron, Vitamin D, and B-vitamins
- Chronic stress & disrupted circadian rhythm → leads to cortisol dysregulation
- Poor gut health → 70% of the immune system is in the gut; affects inflammation and hormone recycling
- Liver congestion → impairs detoxification of excess hormones like estrogen
- Highly processed foods, refined sugars & seed oils
Common Signs & Symptoms
- Fatigue despite adequate sleep
- Weight gain or inability to lose weight
- Constipation, bloating, slow digestion
- Irregular menstrual cycles, PMS, or PCOS
- Infertility or miscarriage risk
- Depression, anxiety, or mental fog
- Cold hands and feet (in hypothyroidism)
- Heart palpitations or heat intolerance (in hyperthyroidism)
