(1/2) Thyroid & Energy 🟦

These are pictures from an old book from 1914 showing the improvement in health and appearance following thyroid therapy on fairly normal adults.

The definition of hypothyroidism used to be much broader than that applied by modern doctors today involving pulse rate, temperature and metabolism

It is quite common in our society for people to suffer from thyroid problems, especially as they enter middle age (the symptoms are notated in the last picture)

Common reasons people today are hypothyroid

>Not eating the thyroid gland of animals anymore, cutting out the best dietary source of thyroid
>High levels of PUFA in the diet (veg oils, seed oil, fish oil etc.)
>Chronic protein deficiency
>Extreme fasting
>Extreme aerobic exercise
>Undercooked greens

Basically anything that causes chronic, excessive stress paired with lack of nourishment, will make your body lower its metabolic rate and thus, lower its functional and structural capacity.
