Improving Thyroid Problems
“How To increase Your
Thyroid Health And Maintain it”
Last time we learned about what can cause an underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism which is the most common thyroid problem.
And as promised, today you are going to learn what measures you can take to improve and maintain a lifetime of healthy thyroid function not just for you, but for every member of your family.
Recall that a subluxation or postural distortion at the C7 level in your spine will compress the nerve that supplies the thyroid gland causing it to slow down (underactive).
Well, the complete opposite is true when you get a chiropractic adjustment at the C7 level.

It is as simple as that.
The only way of course to know for sure if you have a subluxation or postural distortion at the C7 level is to get a chiropractic examination.
From a nutritional aspect, iodine (sea salt, Himalayan pink salt, kelp, kombu, wakame, scallops, shrimp, yogurt ), Vitamin D (supplement during winter months, also found in wild salmon), copper, iron and zinc (all 3 of these found in sesame seeds) and selenium
(Brazil nuts) all support healthy thyroid function.
And for all you hard-core athletes out there, remember there are 3 exercises that can decrease your thyroid function by up to 28%!
So keep an eye out for the signs and symptoms which we covered in detail a few weeks ago.
The 3 exercises are running/spin classes, heavy weight lifting and Crossfit or any high intensity exercise.
