​Nourish Your Body Under Stress

 

The adrenal glands work synergistically with the thyroid gland. Healthy adrenals produce cortisol at the optimal level for inactive thyroid hormone, T4, to be converted to active T3. If you are living with acute or long term stress or too much or too little cortisol is being produced due to disease conversion of T4 to T3 can be compromised and lead to hypothyroid-like symptoms. In addition, your digerstive health is likely to become affected over time. Compromised digestive health may act as a trigger for autoimmune conditions in susceptible people

(those with a genetic predisposition).
