No simple fix or miracle weight loss pill will ever address the complexity of leptin in your metabolism. Beware of false marketing for any one product making this claim (Many leptin products are out there, all of them riding on our coattails, as we are the original leptin experts). On the other hand, there are many nutrients that beneficially impact...

Adiponectin, like leptin, is a hormone made in your white adipose tissue. It has several properties that support healthy blood sugar metabolism. It acts as a natural anti-inflammatory in white adipose tissue to help keep white adipose tissue in a good state of fitness. It also signals your liver in a way that supports healthy insulin function. Adequate...

Your adrenals and thyroid work in harmony with each other. Many books on adrenals list all the symptoms of low thyroid as adrenal problems and vice versa. There are differences. Morning energy, stress tolerance, and aerobic fitness are primarily adrenal issues. Thyroid issues are more about afternoon energy level, being too cold, and feeling mentally...

It is very common that individuals who are overweight have a majority of the symptoms associated with a sluggish thyroid function. This is especially true for those who have a history of yo-yo dieting or have difficulty losing weight by cutting back on calories and trying to exercise more. Leptin is known as the fat-hormone, as it is made in your white...

Your stress management system is rooted in the function of your adrenal glands, which operate in an interdependent fashion with your overall thyroid system. Many books on adrenals list all the symptoms of low thyroid as adrenal problems and vice versa. There are differences. Morning energy, stress tolerance, and aerobic fitness are primarily adrenal...

When stress is either extremely intense or has been going on too long, then the relaxed reserves in your nervous system tend to deplete. This gives your brain a wired feeling, meaning you are likely to be more anxious or irritable during the day and have poorer quality sleep at night. This has a major bearing on how your subconscious brain (hypothalamus...

Poor thyroid function is linked to cognitive decline, however, taking thyroid hormone to help offset aging issues may make cognitive decline worse.

The impact of thyroid function on arterial stiffness and consequent elevation in blood pressure is a new finding helping to explain yet another adverse consequence of poor thyroid function on cardiovascular health. Researchers showed that correcting sluggish thyroid function (subclinical hypothyroid) enabled a return of better blood pressure function.

Most people think that hypothyroidism causes obesity. While this can be true, growing evidence demonstrates that elevated leptin causes increased susceptibility to autoimmune thyroid disorders like Hashimoto’s and Grave’s disease.

If you want to achieve healthy thyroid function, it's time to examine your diet!

Are you bumping into things too often? Impaired coordination is one of the first signs of sluggish thyroid function. Even if your thyroid lab numbers are normal, you may benefit from thyroid nutrition.

It was surprising enough when fat was found making various hormones like leptin and adiponectin and thus became an endocrine organ (hormone secreting). It is now time to add bones to the list of endocrine organs that have a major influence on the metabolism of calories. The new discoveries have immediate implications for improved bone health, improved...
