How Do I Know If I Have a Thyroid Problem?

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE A THYROID PROBLEM? 

As toxins increase, our food becomes less nutrient dense and the pace of our world and lives speeds up, it's not surprising that thyroid challenges are becoming more and more common.

Maybe you've wondered if some of the nagging, annoying symptoms you've been having are a result of your thyroid.

The thyroid's main function is to regulate metabolism. This includes how quickly the body uses energy, makes proteins and regulates body temperature. When the thyroid isn't functioning optimally, you either have hypothyroidism (low thyroid function) or hyperthyroidism (high thyroid function).

Blood serum tests are the best way to really see what's going on. But here's a quick list of common symptoms of either hypo or hyper thyroid.

Hypothyroidism

• Dry, coarse hair
• Thinning hair
• Brittle nails
• Loss of outer third of eyebrows
• Puffy face
• Slow heart beat
• Constipation
• Weight gain
• Arthritis
• Cold intolerance
• Dry skin
• Muscle cramps, stiffness and joint pain
• Heavy menstrual periods
• Fatigue
• Depression
• Infertility

Hyperthyroidism

• Weight loss
• Palpitations
• Sweating

• Warm, moist palms
