22.01.2022 |THYROID THURSDAY| Raised antibodies? Have you been told you have a thyroid problem like hashimoto’s or graves and the antibodies are the cause because the immune system is attacking the thyroid gland? How about if I told you whilst antibodies can influence the behaviour of the thyroid hormones , the antibodies aren’t the cause of the end result such as Hashimoto’s or Graves. It’s a foreign invader that the body has not been able to rid hence the increase in antibodies to tr...y and protect it. Antibodies are made by the body in response to a foreign invader such as toxin, virus, bacteria , parasite , chemical or food sensitivity to rid it out of the body and reduce infection and inflammation. That’s why when patients go on medications for thyroid they might initially feel better but then only to return feeling the same or worst because they haven’t addressed what is causing the release of antibodies. Antibodies =inflammation, which is why you might experience other symptoms such as fatigue, sore joints, arthritis, fibromyalgia etc and continue increase a rampage of antibodies that then cause thyroid to become inflamed. The body is riddled with INFLAMMATION!!!!!! What is the root cause of this inflammation ?? Why are the antibodies staying elevated ? These are the questions I explore with clients as we want to reduce the inflammation! Here are some common causes that may cause antibodies to elevate: Undetected Coeliac disease Poor sleep Stress and adrenal fatigue Metal toxicity such as mercury Viral infections H pylori infection Nutritional deficiencies Radiation from phone Alcohol and Cigarettes Food sensitivities Do you want to explore your WHYs and WHATs? DM me for a free discovery chat so we can get your thyroid back on track !!! #thyroidhealth #graves #hashimotos #thyroidantibodies #inflammation #healingthyroid #unley #mclarenvale #wholism #nutritionmatters #hypothyroid #hyperthyroid #ignitingawholehealthieryou

17.01.2022 |Get functional on Fridays| What can a neurotransmitters test do for you? Neurotransmitters are special chemicals that help relay messages along nerves amongst the organs such the brain , digestive tract, brain, essentially it helps communication happen in the body.... Try and think how important it is for us to communicate to our family, friends, work colleagues or even using our phones eg the words we choose impact the end result. Even whilst driving a car there is a form of traffic communication (road rules) without these -it would be chaos. HONK HONK Bad communication = Unhappy result Good communication=Happy result Our neurotransmitters move around in the blood and are filtered through the kidneys and excreted in our urine and this makes a urine collection easy for analysis. Neurotransmitters include dopamine , GABA, Glutamate, Serotonin, PEA, Norepinephrine, Epinephrine This test is fantastic for anyone who experiences anxiety, mood disorders (Bipolar, Schizophrenia etc), depression, highly adrenal, insomnia , ADHD, Migraines, fibromyalgia, brain fog, multiple sclerosis, addictions. The test can be useful for when we get older as a precautionary measure to see if we are at risk of degenerative disorders like Parkisons which is related to dopamine levels which control of body movement. Getting in early might be the key to reducing your chances of Parkinsons. Give me a hands up if this test sounds amazing ps you can always DM for more info or to arrange a discovery chat!
