Thyroid disease.  Kind of been in the news recently, and a lot of women are diagnosed with thyroid disorders.  It tends to run in families.  But ways of being in the world and diets and so on also run in families and that’s why diseases run in families.  Anyway, thyroid disease masks as all kinds of things, being tired, having your hair fall out, having the outer portion of your eyebrows fall out and so on.  And unfortunately, it’s often diagnosed incorrectly.
	So if you think you might have thyroid disease as PMS or weight gain or this sort of thing, you want to get some blood tests drawn.  And here’s the tests you want.  You want a TSH, a thyroid-stimulating hormone, a T3 and a T4.  Now, T3 is the type of thyroid hormone that is the most biologically active.  Unfortunately, almost all women who are given thyroid hormone are given Synthroid, that’s synthetic T4.  Unfortunately, some women have what’s called Wilson’s syndrome, where they cannot make the conversions of T4 to T3.  So the T4 doesn’t work.
	So if you’re one of those, and I know some of you are listening to this, then you want to ask your health care provider to prescribe a combination of T3 and T4, which is called Nature-Throid.  I don’t know that Armour Thyroid is still in business.  Armour Thyroid was used for years and years.  Nature-Throid is a combination of T3 and T4.  Or you can use T3 in the form of Cytomel with a little T4 in the form of Synthroid.  That’s assuming you’re already on thyroid medication.
	What if you’re not?  Okay, you get your TSH drawn.  The TSH should be 1.8 or lower.  And unfortunately, many of the laboratory indices are using upper limits of normal and lower limits of normal that are far too high.  Every year the endocrinology departments know that it should go a little bit lower.  So now, anywhere between 1.8 and 3 is the limit, as high as it should be.  So ask your health care provider to show you your level.  Do not just accept it’s normal.  You want to see the level.  And if it’s above 3 or maybe even above 1.8, chances are very good that you could use a little bit of thyroid hormone.  And again, it should be a combination of T3 and T4.
	Now, those people who get on enough iodine often find that that’s all they need.  They don’t, in fact, need any additional thyroid hormone and you can get iodine on the Internet in the form of Iodoral, I-o-d-o-r-a-l, or you can simply paint tincture of iodine on your skin.  That’s going to be kind of messy, so most of you will want to take a supplement.  Or you can take some kind of sea vegetable containing iodine in the form of kelp or Modifilan, M-o-d-i-f-i-l-a-n, available over the Internet.

Thyroid Disease | Dr. Christiane Northrup

Few people realize how powerful their dreams are for providing guidance and healing information. In fact, research is even showing that things like breast and lung cancer can show up in dreams long before you have symptoms, and in plenty of time to get the right treatment.  Of course those are extreme cases. Dreams can help you negotiate the choices in your daily life. In this episode of Flourish, Dr. Northrup's favorite Dream teacher, Dr. Doris E. Cohen and I will show you how to remember your dreams, interpret your dreams, and get the most out of the messages that your soul provides for you each and every night.

Dream Interpretation with Christiane Northrup, M.D. & Doris E. Cohen

iRest Meditation (Integrative Restoration) is a modern-day evidence-based, mind-body approach to health, healing, wholeness, and well-being. It is based on ancient transformative meditative practices, derived from the teachings of Kashmir Nondualism and Yoga Nidra (yoga = experiencing our interconnected wholeness with our self and the entire cosmos; nidra = no matter our changing states of consciousness).

iRest has been developed by Dr. Richard Miller over the past 46 years through observation, hands-on application, and research. The iRest protocol teaches self-regulation skills for managing sensations, emotions, and cognitions, and physical and mental well-being. iRest is designed as a secular practice, that has been developed to be accessible to all populations, from children to adults, across issues ranging from the enhancement of well-being, to healing PTSD, chronic pain insomnia and chemical dependency. It is easy to learn, apply, and integrate into daily life and routines. There is also a certification process for training teachers. Visit www.irest.us

Stress and your physical body.  I know, I know, we always hear, oh, it’s stress, it’s stress.  Stress is kind of a wastebasket term, isn’t it?  It doesn’t really refer to anything.  I want to tell you what stress does.  We need some stress in our lives.  You need stress on your bones, vertical vectors of force on your bones to keep bringing in the calcium and other minerals that build bone.  And we need stresses on the brain, routinely, in order to learn new things.  And every time you lift weights, you get stronger, because you’re putting stress on the muscle, which brings in more amino acids and so on and builds a stronger muscle over time.  So stress is not necessarily bad.  
	The kind of stress that gets all of us into trouble is the unremitting stress that says, there’s no escape, there’s no way out, there’s nothing you can possibly do.  This is the kind of stress that will cause women to miss their periods, have their hair fall out, gain weight.  
Now how does this happen?  When you’re under stress, your cortisol levels rise and you go into what’s called fight or flight.  Now, as Dr. Pam Peeke points out, when your cortisol levels rise, it is to prepare you to exercise, to run away from something that is scary and that could harm you.  So 15 minutes, 10-15 minutes of walking will eat up excess cortisol, a stress hormone, and that’s really all you need to do.  That’s why exercise is so good for decreasing stress. 
When you don’t exercise and the cortisol goes up, what happens?  You want to eat more, because the cortisol suggests burn calories, do something, I need more calories, and then you actually want to eat more.  Have any of you ever been on any of those steroid inhalers, and after you’re on the steroid inhaler, let’s say for asthma or whatever it is, you’re desperate to eat Pop-Tarts?  It’s because the cortisol, the prednisone, that’s another name for cortisol, it’s a drug, it actually forces you to want to eat more.  So the more cortisol, the higher the desire to eat, and the higher the intake of sugar, and then the higher the intake of insulin, or the blood produces more insulin, and that stores fat in your cells, and it’s a vicious cycle.
So it all starts with some way to stop that vicious cycle of stress.  One way to do it is to simply visualize a stop sign, and then when you’re doing it to yourself, you go, stop, and then you take one full deep breath in through your nose, and out through your nose, and that in itself will stop the vicious cycle of stress, because when you breathe deeply through your nose, the lower lobes of the lungs will expand, and the vagus nerve, the main nerve of the parasympathetic rest and restore nervous system goes right through there, and it will be triggered.  It will instantly lower your blood pressure, and lower your heart rate, and begin to gobble up stress hormones.
Let me give you the other big stress hormone gobbler, sleep.  Sleep is, without a doubt, the best way to digest excess stress hormones that there is.  Of course, and then you want to stop the stressful things in the first place, and that requires mindfulness.  Changing the story you tell yourself about what’s stressing you.  
So let me give you this final thought.  There is no situation that is hopeless, there is nothing that you can’t escape from, but what you have to do is engage your higher power, the nonphysical part of you that knows a lot more than the part of you that is stressed out.  Sometimes that involves getting down on your knees.  I can’t tell you the number of people who have a change in their life, simply when they’re brought to their knees and they surrender.  Okay, all right, I’ve had it.  I can’t figure it out myself.  Tell me what to do.  That, alone, will stop the vicious cycle of stress, most of which is in your head.
