Thyroid hormone controls the rate that oxygen is used at the cellular level to make energy. Your circulatory system is how oxygen is transported to cells. Thus, there is tremendous overlap between a healthy thyroid and cardiovascular system, and conversely, between a stressed thyroid and cardiovascular system. Indicators of good health include a sense of...

Individuals are quite confused by many thyroid-related medical terms that are bantered about: hypothyroid, hyperthyroid, elevated thyroid autoantibodies, or Hashimoto's thyroiditis to name a few. Oftentimes an individual will have all the symptoms of a low or underactive thyroid yet lab tests come back normal. In other cases, lab tests do not come back...

In normal energy production for every calorie you burn you make 33 molecules of ATP (cellular energy). In fibromyalgia you are often making 3 ATP instead of 33 (1/10th the energy) and a pile of lactic acid. You need to employ strategies so that you are making 33 ATP per calorie more hours in the day at which point your energy will feel better and your...

When a person gains weight it is typical that leptin levels rise too high in the blood and do not get into the brain – a problem called leptin resistance that is a key force behind overeating and becoming overweight. For the first time researchers show that excessive leptin in the blood upregulates leptin receptors on thyroid cancer cells causing them to...

Every person over the age of 20 has declining bone health. More bone is lost than added from that point forward. This increases the risk of bone loss. There is another factor that influences bone health and it is seen in the fine print of prescription medication warnings. It is an elephant in the room as a risk factor for osteoporosis. It is drug-induced...

New concepts in the management of diabetes are taking center stage in our society because widespread dietary and lifestyle abuse has led to an epidemic of type II diabetes in children, teenagers, and young adults. The use of drugs to manipulate numbers and gene function within cells has thus far proven to be a miserable failure. Drugs do not restore...

A study shows that PCB contamination is a major factor that disrupts thyroid function and structure. PCB contamination remains rampant in the American food supply.

New research is uncovering how hemoglobin behaves within a cell to deliver oxygen to the cell engines so that calories can be burned as fuel. Oxygen must be present within cells in order for metabolism to work at an optimal rate. Thyroid hormone is short-circuited at the cellular level if oxygen is not present.
