Hypothyroidism Exercise Revolution PDF / Program Review Free Download Tom Brimeyer | Page 8

Hypothyroidism is truly the most deadly silent killer. The health of your thyroid is the most important factor in your overall health, and hypothyroidism plays a direct role in the development heart disease, cancer, and so many major diseases of today. Every single cell of your body relies heavily on thyroid hormone because without thyroid hormone, your cells cannot produce the energy they need to function properly and remain healthy. Think about it like this. If electrical system in your car wasn’t able to produce an adequate amount of energy to keep your car running, your car would stop functioning and eventually die. The same is true for your cells and organs. Without adequate thyroid function, your cells and organs can’t generate the energy they need to continue running, and your cells eventually become diseased and begin to die. Just think about the major implications that hypothyroidism can have on your health. Many of your body’s most vital organs including your brain and heart rely heavily on your thyroid to maintain their energy and continue to function properly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Without adequate thyroid function, these vital organs struggle to function properly. Hopefully it’s becoming clearer to you that your thyroid is directly responsible for the health of every cell, organ, and tissue within your body. And when thyroid function is impaired, every cell, organ, and tissue becomes susceptible to failure and disease. The health of your thyroid is far more important to your overall health than you realize. How Hypothyroidism Became So Mis/Undiagnosed One thing I’ve always found very interesting when talking with people about hypothyroidism is the large number of people who believe or suspect that they are hypothyroid even when their doctor and testing clearly show that they are not. It may be entirely intuitive for some. For others it’s often a strong connection of their symptoms with the many symptoms of hypothyroidism. Regardless of the connection, I’ve found that most people are correct with their self diagnosis because of the poor testing methods used today. 8
