WHY DO YOU NEED THYROID SUPPORT?
Hypothyroidism, a condition marked by low levels of thyroid hormones, is the most common thyroid-related condition. While this condition can often be caused by illnesses or conditions like Hashimoto’s disease, hypothyroidism can also be the result of malnutrition or just a part of the natural aging process. Hypothyroidism can lead to a wide range of symptoms on its own that can negatively affect whole body health and reduce quality of life. Over time, this condition can also lead to more serious health conditions like cardiovascular disease if not addressed properly. Fortunately, the nutraceutical industry offers a variety of products that can support optimal whole body health by promoting healthy thyroid production and function in the body.
Hashimoto’s disease and other illnesses that lead to low thyroid levels are considered to be primary causes of hypothyroidism. Secondary causes of hypothyroidism, which include the low levels of thyroid hormone that can sometimes accompany the aging process, usually involve poor function of the pituitary gland. While secondary causes are less common and drastic than primary causes, these issues can build slowly over time; the fact that the odds of experiencing hypothyroidism increase as men and women age can probably be attributed to this slow burn. Whether low thyroid levels are a result of primary or secondary hypothyroidism, they can lead to a variety of symptoms and conditions that include:
- Fatigue
- Memory loss
- Unexpected weight gain
- Hair loss
- Decreased muscle strength
- Muscle aches
- Depressed mood
These ramifications of low thyroid can negatively impact whole body health on their own, but even more serious health conditions can arise if hypothyroidism goes unchecked. Cardiovascular disease is probably the long-term effect most commonly associated with hypothyroidism. Low levels of thyroxine, a specific thyroid hormone, can actually lead to increased levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream. Over time, the accumulation of cholesterol can lead to a full range of damaging effects on cardiovascular health. Other than the massive potential impacts on the cardiovascular system, hypothyroidism can also lead to a variety of other symptoms and health conditions that include an increased risk of depression, breathing issues, enlargement of the thyroid gland (and development of a goiter), pregnancy complications, inconsistent body temperature and a serious medical condition known as a myxedema coma in rare cases.
