My Favorite thing to tell women in my clinic is to tell them to eat more FAT!!! Omega 3,6 & 9 fatty acids!!!

The topic for this week: Anxiety caused by elevated thyroid hormones from Hashimoto's flares A common scenario in Hashimoto’s is to see thyroid function fluctuate between under active and over active. What does this look like? This is the person whose symptoms are all over the map...... One week you fit the classic description of hypothyroidism: Tired Headaches Constipation Low libido Depression Then the next week you seem to be hyperthyroid: Can’t fall asleep Racing heart Anxious, even with tremors If you run blood tests during these episodes, they will show your TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone, a common measure of thyroid function) peaking and dipping, and even appearing normal in between bouts of symptoms. These unpredictable fluctuations can happen for seemingly no rhyme or reason. And it can be days, weeks, months or more between swings. Sometimes the fluctuations can be linked to a trigger such as a stressful event, hormonal shifts, or eating foods containing gluten, but other times it's hard to pin down a trigger. These fluctuations can be misdiagnosed as anxiety disorders; some people are even mistakenly diagnosed with bipolar disorder and prescribed medications that don't fix the problem... ... when in reality the anxiety is caused by the autoimmune flare-up destroying thyroid tissue and releasing stored hormones into the bloodstream: When the body becomes flooded with excess thyroid hormone, your metabolism speeds up, resulting in hyperthyroid symptoms which can manifest as anxiety, insomnia, and jitters. Contact your doctor for blood work realated to your thyroid or book an appointment to speak to me on the page book now button. We can do blood work and therapies to help minimize your ups and downs of Hasimotos.

Use these four diet Tricks to improve your immune system: 1. Avoid concentrated and processed sugars such as candy, desserts, fruit juices, sweetened drinks. Spiking your blood sugar is inflammatory and can weaken immune resilience. 2. Eat foods high in antioxidants and flavonoids such as fruits and vegetables of many different colors. High levels of antioxidants and flavonoids will support your immune function. Make sure to minimize fruits and stick to low-glycemic fruits to... avoid spiking your blood sugar. 3. Improve your microbiome diversity. Having a plentiful and diverse population of healthy bacteria in your gut supports immune resilience. An effective way to support your microbiome is to eat plentiful amounts of many different kinds of vegetables and fruits. This helps feed the bacteria in your gut and maintain healthy bacterial balance. It’s also important to regularly rotate the types of produce you eat. 4. Reduce your intake of foods that are generally inflammatory. If you're managing autoimmunity or another chronic health condition, you may already avoid certain inflammatory foods. However, this is something everyone should do to improve immune resilience. Many common foods are actually quite inflammatory regardless of food sensitivities, such as: Foods fried in vegetable oils, and partially hydrogenated fats, which are in packaged foods, fast foods, and processed foods. These foods will deplete your antioxidant reserves. Starchy, high-carbohydrate, and flour-based foods that make you tired after you eat. This tiredness after meals is a sign you’ve had an insulin surge, which is very pro-inflammatory, depletes your body of antioxidants, and is harmful to your brain. In these uncertain times, everyone is wondering how they can maximize immune function to best protect themselves and their family. Take back control of your health NOW!

Freedom of information you would think is not an issue in Canada but I think we need to think again.... Since seeing people with their Labs online given to them with the Alberta Health system i recognized their is some lab results that are held back and not released to the patient. Why is that? I ask myself! Censorship is the only thing I can think of....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wnnf4Gfb3A See more

I have had the great opportunity to study with Dr K!! He is the lead expert in the world on Hashimotos!! Check out his interview going over antibodies and your brain:

Go to 1:30 and start watching for some basic biochemistry of how coronavirus replicates and why zinc is so important. Chloroquine is an ionophore for zinc which... means it helps shuttle zinc into the cytosol inside the cell. Zinc then blocks replicase which is the enzyme that makes more and more copies of the viral RNA. If you can block replicase its game over for the virus. This is why its ineffective to be giving people chloroquine if youre not also giving them zinc. All these doctors who are coming out saying that chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine dont work very well - I havent seen any of them using concurrent zinc. And the docs that are using zinc are claiming that almost no one has died under their care. So use the zinc!!! See more

Cannabis effects can be blunting Cortisol... "It has been shown that THC increases circulating cortisol levels after use [2][3]. For infrequent cannabis users, this increase in cortisol can cause increases in blood pressure and anxiety [4]. In long-term users, sustained increase of cortisol blunts the bodys natural reactions to changes in cortisol and can affect a womans libido and menstrual cycle [3][4]. Long-term use also has the potential to blunt the morning spike of cortisol, referred to as the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR)."
