So, your one initial problem quickly becomes two, three, or more that all have to be
corrected in order to heal your thyroid and restore your health.
Keep this in mind when learning about these 7 Simple Solutions to Hypothyroidism
that I’ve given you below. If you think that one or more don’t apply to you, it might apply
more than you realize.
Solution #1 – Balance Your Estrogen Levels
Excessive estrogen levels are becoming an epidemic health problem. The vast majority
of women today are dealing with major hormonal imbalances centered on having too
much estrogen in their bodies and oftentimes not enough progesterone.
This is very evident later in life, especially during menopause when progesterone levels
naturally drop. Excessive estrogen causes estrogen levels to remain high while
progesterone drops quickly which results in the emergence of menopausal symptoms.
And estrogen enters your body from many different sources…
 Synthetic Estrogens In Birth Control
 PhytoEstrogens In Food
 Estrogenic Environmental Toxins
 XenoEstrogens In Plastic
 And the list goes on…
And if you’re a male and you don’t think that this applies to you, then I’m sorry to say but
you are wrong. Men do naturally have estrogen in their bodies and do accumulate
estrogen much the same as women. It is becoming an increasingly common problem for
men’s health too.
Estrogen’s role in hypothyroidism has been well documented.
Estrogen directly affects the thyroid gland by inhibiting its ability to secrete its thyroid
hormone. And if your thyroid can’t secrete its hormones, then they oftentimes will build
up within the gland. In the end, your body doesn’t get the thyroid hormone it needs and
you quickly become hypothyroid.
This is also why estrogen plays a significant role in both Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and
goiters. So, if you are dealing with either one of these issues then it’s imperative that
you work on regulating your estrogen levels in order to truly heal your thyroid.
