Stress Affects Metabolism, Mental Health, Memory/Focus

Your thyroid isn’t just about metabolism; it controls every aspect of your health! That's why you need to nourish and protect it even if you don't have thyroid issues.

I wish more women and men knew how sensitive their thyroid glands are to stress and that even if you take thyroid medication for hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's, autoimmune health issues, you can and SHOULD still nourish your thyroid gland.

In fact, it's even more critical than ever because thyroid medication doesn't treat your thyroid. There is no treatment per se, but that seemingly helpful medication only treats the symptoms. It can actually cause hair and bone loss and become part of the problem if you're not providing your thyroid with the specific nutrients it requires for health, in the proper amounts and in a form your body can absorb.

Stress and thyroid issues also affect your body's ability to digest and absorb these nutrients, which is precisely why I made LynFit Thyro-Boost liquid. It tastes great and can be dropped under your tongue for those moments when you need to de-stress.

Even experiencing typical everyday stress for more than one week can have a negative impact that shows up first as exhaustion, then comes weight gain, especially around your stomach, mood swings, intense hunger and cravings, hair loss, and an inability to lose weight, even when calories are reduced, and you're exercising regularly.

What you might not know is that often the solutions we attempt become part of the problem because they cause more stress to your system, even while you might think that it's good stress, and you're right. Your body still views it as stress and goes into protection mode.

What makes matters even worse is that stress depletes your body's nutrient levels faster than if you were running the New York marathon, which is why you feel so tired all the time, even after you've had coffee, which is also a sign that your adrenal glands are now affected. Most people report feeling tired and wired at the same time; your mood and memory become affected, you're hungry even after you've eaten a full meal, and, if left unchecked, you start losing hair. Your skin looks grey and unhealthy, and your overall health begins to fall apart. 
Did you know that the thyroid gland is super sensitive to light? So, when you're scrolling on Instagram or reading this on your PC, your thyroid is affected. Simply wearing a scarf can protect it from harmful blue light and other rays, and of course, nourish your thyroid every day, or at the very least, when you feel tense and need a quick fix!
