Thyroid Myths Revealed!!! | The Wellness Way Fort Mill | Dr. Rick Hellmann

Intro everybody this is dr. ed : hey you know what I was just about to leave my office it's Friday night I'm ready to go home and see my family but I was so so like very upset I guess upset is a good word I've had several pages today with accident with thyroid conditions some news some people who have been working with for a while and I just had something on my heart that I just needed to share okay so I before I left I'm like I have to do this because you know I grew up in the 70s 80s and so I have the old-school cartoons like Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes and today I felt like Yosemite Sam you know and like Yosemite Sam was like Bugs Bunny frustrated him so so stinking bad that it was like I had done red sweat fly that's why I felt tonight right and you know as far as the Thyroid Myths Revealed the title said thyroid mess revealed because one of the biggest issues that we have right now in health care biggest problems are thyroid knish is 20 million plus right and from what I'm from my experience with all the patients I work with number one it's misunderstood number two it's misdiagnosed or not tested properly and then three it's completely mistreated right so what is the thyroid gland so the thyroid gland is a squishy gland right here in the middle of the neck okay it is the master control system for the hormones for all the endocrine system it it regulates body temperature it stabilizes glucose it's it houses a hormone a thyroid hormone experts only plan I believe that even stores format but it releases hormone to every cell of your body so literally every cell of your body gets the thyroid hormone and if it gets to the cell gets in the cell it can actually bring the cell to life it does work and energy and so really what ends up happening is if this system right in all the systems that connect to the thyroid that support the thyroid and the thyroid itself if it all works and the body works great it's healthy it's happy right but if the thyroid gets stressed if it doesn't if it gets sluggish or the thyroid hormone doesn't get out or if it doesn't get converted properly from an inactive to active form and if it doesn't get to the cell and actually get inside the cell then what ends up happening is people feel cold my body temperature gets off people start to gain weight their nails get bad their skin gets dry they get constipated they are lethargic they have no energy right and their brain fog Hey so there's all these people out there that are suffering from thyroid problems and you know I'm flying solo so I've no idea I can't see the screen because I've got a point of me but I tell you if you're out there watching hopefully you're out there watching and you're you're saying hey I have a thyroid problem one eat why no someone has a thyroid problem like share it tell some friends this is a Facebook live so it'll get posted so make sure you have friends that watch this because we're gonna unveil some myths and you know what I'm going to do four minutes in four days okay but today I'm starting off with the the number one but we're gonna go four days in a row it's too long to do them all it'll take online I'm just gonna try these short blocks to address one myth each day it's gonna help you understand your thought right better it's gonna see maybe if you've been misdiagnosed and then it will also give you hope if you're somebody that has those problems you know once again you know the body temperature see it rolls body temperature one of the biggest things about that is it releases the hormone that controls the body temperature if the body temperature gets up just a little bit that temperature temperatures and everything in the body all of our chemical reactions have to be within a certain temperature to perform the way they're supposed to so if the body temperature gets off all the systems start to break down it's very very bad and so that's number one's really really important to have that and then also it powers up the cell so once again brain fog cold bad hair dry skin bad nails fatigue weight gain bloating constipation right so if n cheese is put in the chat that's me that's me one of the biggest things that I'm seeing number one myth is that the diagnosis for a thyroid problem is just on a hormone called TSH okay so TSH is not even the thyroid hormone it's a brain hormone but but the medical system the standard of care right now will run labs will run a blood lab they'll run TSH which is a brain hormone the reason why they run that is because if your brain your brain talks to the rest of the body all the periphery of the body and it knows what's going on in the blood through the intelligence of the body and it feeds information back to the brain brain knows part of the brain knows hey is there enough thyroid hormone going into the blood into the body okay if there is the net CSH will be normal to be within normal range if there's not enough hormone in the blood then the TSH will go up so when's up have the brain will secrete TSH more of it because the the brain is trying to get the thyroid to work so it stimulates a hormone so TSH thyroid stimulating hormone will be higher so they'll say hey we need to give the body more t3 or t4 right that hormone so the only way you're going to get diagnosed by a standard of care gold standard of care which is TSH is if the TSH is high then the okay what's the next step well first of all standard care says well I can only test for something that I have a drug for or unless there's a surgery for it so what's up happening if TSH is off alright so the brain is saying hey there's not not enough thyroid hormone and the blood doesn't really matter what caused that or what triggered there not to be enough I wonder the blood but they say okay we're going to give you our hormone okay well that might be okay except for that's not the only reason why the thyroid it's that's not going to be the answer for the condition right there could be thousands of reasons why that is not that the body doesn't have enough you know thyroid hormone right so here's the thing all those things all those symptoms are coming from multiple different sources so and I will you're gonna be able to see this but you have the brain you have the thyroid you have the liver you have the gut intestines right and then you have the cell okay so they're measuring TSH okay they're basing all the thyroid diagnosis this so they feel like you know what we'll give them some thyroid hormone and if this levels out then you're okay but here's the problem and I know many of you are watching this going well you know my TSH was off and they me thyroid hormone but you know what the TSH balance but then guess what I feel still feel terrible I'm still tired AB I sell eggs I'm still cold I still have constipation I'm getting better you know what I'm eating less and the people around me like I'm eating salad they're eating burgers drinking beer and they're they're doing well but I mean I'm doing everything perfect I'm actually running on the treble but I'm still gaining weight why is that and you're being told that your thyroid is normal because they've leveled out you're worth the the blood lab right but there's multiple things going now I'm gonna tell you right now that 90% of these thyroid conditions are autoimmune which means there's an irritation of the gut leaky gut and it will send an immune response to the hour and it will start attacking the thyroid so the thyroid will get sluggish so you can give all the hormone you want but if there is a problem in the gif there's an infection if there's leaky guts as sure galleries it will cause an olivey reaction and then it will go undetected okay and so even though your lives might be normal you still feel terrible 90% or undying or misdiagnosed right and then the if the thyroid hormone is coming out it still has to go into the different parts of the body especially the liver to get converted and then it has to get to the cell it gets converted other places in the body but it has to get to the cell and then let's just close this see make it a cell membrane right and it has to get inside the cell to do actually bring up energy so the brain has to talk to the thyroid the thyroid has to see to make the warm-up get rid of the hormone has to get converted it has to get to the cell and also if there's inflammation of the body there's inflammation of the cell that woman can't get into the cell so they'll be really bad energy so that actually one of them can't even get into the cell to do this job because there's internal inflammation so there's inflammation around your body in the cells your normal can't even get in the cell this is not getting measured this is not being looked at this is being looked at and properly and they're just looking at this so most people are running around with very very horrible symptoms of thyroid and they're just taking medications now one of the things Thyroid Myths that really really set me off today I mean it really set me up so around where I am this area and Charlotte I'm not going to go into it but there's the system is very entrenched and you walk in and get the labs and then you get meds and a lot of times people this is an area where people come from out of town so a lot of people move from other areas whether for its job or the weather is nice so they're coming down and I had a patient today that actually he had moved here and they're on more of a natural form of thyroid medication as soon as I got here their doctor took him off of that and put them on a synthetic version of it now this is not from dr. hellman but this is actual information off the actual drugs website off of synthroid so these are the side effects of synthroid fever hot flashes sensitivity to heat sweating headache nervousness irritability nausea sleep problems insomnia changes in appetite changes in weight temporary hair loss right and so all these things like weren't even happening with this patient they were struggling but they took them off the natural and put them on this and and then almost all these things were going on I'm like you moved here your doctor took you off one put you on a synthetic one and then your life got works my house exploded and so we talked about yeah the importance of that now here's the thing that that's if you think so like the number one myth and we're covering today is number one TSH is not its act as being portrayed as a gold standard but it's such a small piece so people are getting tested in completely they're not looking at the biggest problem which is typically autoimmune and then they're saying you have to be on medication for life and it's just not true it doesn't have to happen now in some cases if the towers been removed or damaged or radiated then you probably will have to be in some form of thyroid medication however if not there's a real good chance that your body can get back in bound so if we work on removing the stressors to the gut get the liver function about our 3-gun inflammation of the body then your body can recover and you don't have to have all those 10 crazy temperature problems the the weight issues the fatigue the brain fog so those things can literally change they can change so that's what drives me crazy and then like that was one one patient then even maybe like in how half later had another patient who had been diagnosed with Graves disease which is very difficult autumn of the thyroid and we were celebrating we're high-fiving because her her none were labs normal now after working with her but she had much better energy she was you know she used to get sick all the time was not getting sick all the time now much more clear life is completely turned around right and she's coming off of medications she's like I'm not none of the longer in this category so and one handy of people you have people that are getting misdiagnosed taking medications that are causing the same problems that that people are taking medication for in the first place but then yam on the other hand where we get in look at the whole picture more holistic picture and then actually start to fix this problem right so if this is you if you're somebody that has been that you've been told that your your lives are normal there must be nothing wrong with you it's gotta be in your head maybe you need some an anti-psychotic medication Tynes anxiety drugs which happens all the time right and you go into a deeper darker hole right if that's you then you need to get a different approach right need to get someone else to look at your case maybe see it all day long when I was we have an amazing success with these things but what happened the reason why is we think differently and we taken a different approach so as I hope you enjoyed this please like our page like revenge make a comment make a comment in in the chat if
