- Sautéed Swiss chard as a side dish for dinner.

2. Nuts and Seeds:
- Snack on a handful of almonds or walnuts.
- Add sunflower seeds to your yogurt or oatmeal in the morning.

3. Whole Grains:
- Enjoy a quinoa and vegetable stir-fry for lunch or dinner.
- Start your day with a bowl of oatmeal topped with berries and nuts.

4. Dark Chocolate:
- Indulge in a small piece of dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) as a dessert.
- Make a chocolate-berry smoothie with dark cocoa and mixed berries.

5. Berries:
- Snack on a bowl of mixed berries like blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries.
- Add berries to your yogurt or cereal for breakfast.

These examples can help you create balanced, stress-reducing meals and snacks. Remember to incorporate a variety of these foods into your diet.

SCIENCE SPIEL

How do heavy metals in the environment mess with the function of this essential gland?

The three metals that specifically attack your thyroid are cadmium, nickel, and mercury.

Research shows that exposure to mercury can result in not only hypothyroidism but thyroid autoimmune conditions as well.

Mercury interferes with the thyroid on 4 levels:

1 – Thyroid: Mercury has a high affinity for your thyroid gland. It not only stores in this precious gland, but it also takes the place of iodine — which is a crucial component to thyroid hormone production. Your thyroid hormones are made of iodine.

2 – Pituitary: the pituitary gland signals to the hypothalamus to make more TSH. Mercury interferes with the feedback loop from T4 back to the pituitary cells that regulates TSH synthesis.

3 – Hypothalamus: Mercury can deposit in the hypothalamus. When this happens, TSH manufacture can be inhibited. Additionally, TRH – thyrotropin releasing hormone – is manufactured in the hypothalamus. Mercury can deposit in the thyrotropes that manufacture TSH. TSH manufacture is then inhibited and less can be produced.

Mercury interferes in signaling and the cells themselves by interfering in the delicate feedback loop that converts T4 to T3 and then the signal communicating back to the hypothalamus.

4 – Blood: it inhibits the conversion of Free T4 to Free T3 in blood. Mercury poisons enzymes like DI Autonasers that convert Free T4 to T3 in blood circulation.

Cadmium is stored in your pituitary gland — the master gland that signals your thyroid to produce its hormones. Research shows that cadmium exposure can increase the production of both T4 and T3, interrupting the natural hormonal balance.

Interestingly, some research shows that in men, cadmium may have the opposite effect — inhibiting thyroid function and contributing to hypothyroidism.

Nickel has been indicated in Chronic Autoimmune Thyroiditis (CAT), also known as Hashimoto’s disease. Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disorder in which your immune system attacks your thyroid gland, damaging it so that it cannot produce adequate hormones, resulting in hypothyroidism.

Mercury induces Hashimoto’s. Depending upon one’s genetics, people can develop antibodies to different types of mercury, including inorganic mercury from mercury fillings or methylmercury from fish. You can find antibodies to one or all of the above with metal antibodies testing. Most commonly mercury can induce antithyroglobulin antibodies involved in Hashimoto’s, but can also induce the antibodies that cause Grave’s disease.

Hashimoto’s doesn’t always induce hypothyroidism or low thyroid hormones. You can get Hashimoto’s apart from hypothyroidism and still have a reasonable production of hormones. You can have antibodies attacking your thyroid yet have normal production of T3 and T4 if you have hashimoto’s.

BUILDING and REPAIRING our 70+ trillion cells is a lot like building and repairing a home. It takes Materials and Labor.

MATERIALS for a cell are all the things we eat and have been supplementing with for decades:
🍊Vitamins
🍊Minerals
🍊Antioxidants
🍊Proteins
🍊Carbohydrates
🍊Fats

LABOR is performed at the cellular level by molecules that every cell in your body produce. They are called
