Feeling sluggish? Gaining weight? Is it your thyroid? That is always the question to ask yourself. I always encourage people to have a comprehensive thyroid blood test done because this is critical to how you feel each and every single day.†
We know that the metabolic rate of every single cell in the body is controlled by thyroid hormones. In particular, when we think about T3, which is your active thyroid hormone.†
It is very common for people to have suboptimal thyroid function that can contribute to issues such as weight gain and fatigue. When we look at hypothyroidism, for example, we know that this is pretty prevalent in the United States. This issue impacts about 5% of the U.S. population. The symptoms that go along with hypothyroidism include things like tiredness, weight gain, dry skin, hair loss and muscle aches.†
We know that there are certain nutrients that this important gland must have in order to properly disperse itself. We must have things such as iodine, zinc, selenium, iron, magnesium and Vitamin E. These are all things that the thyroid is heavily reliant on in terms of being able to make active T3. If we don’t have adequate amounts of selenium, tyrosine and iodine, this is going to be a problem.†
Americans are deficient in magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc and Vitamin D, all things that this gland needs. Zinc in particular is essential when it comes to the thyroid. If we do not have zinc to release thyroid-releasing hormone, then the gland itself is going to be sluggish.†
There are nutrients that we can be taking in to help support this gland. The Thyroid HxⓇ formulation contains iodine, tyrosine and ashwagandha extract to help support the thyroid, as well as the adrenal system. I also commonly turn to rhodiola for people who are complaining about not having good energy and feeling sluggish. We need to make sure that we can make energy in the body.†

Fibromyalgia is more common than you think. It’s a chronic pain condition that can be quite terrible for people. In a strange way, fibromyalgia is in the brain, but not in the sense that you’d need a psychiatrist or psychiatric-type medications to help.†
Fibromyalgia is probably the most common chronic pain syndrome. You may have pain in specific areas or it might be more generalized. It’s an aching kind of pain. It’s estimated that over 5 million Americans are suffering from this issue, the lion’s share of which are women. They can experience stiffness and pain in their muscles, ligaments and tendons. The pain can occur anywhere in the body.†
These people are also fatigued and drained of energy, which can impact their ability to sleep, focus and have conversations. Many of these people also experience headaches like tension headaches or migraines. They may also have intestinal issues such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), where they have constipation, diarrhea, gassiness, bloating and more.†

Sometimes, really minor things can set off pain in someone with this issue. They may have a sensitivity to noise, strong odors, certain foods, flashing lights, bright lights and even strong breezes.†
One thing you want to help with issues related to fibromyalgia is curcumin. At the end of your nerves, there is a neurotransmitter called Substance P that stimulates the pain receptors in your body. This is normally elevated in people with fibromyalgia. Curcumin and other ingredients in turmeric have been shown in human clinical trials to reduce Substance P release at the nerve ending. Well-absorbed curcumins like our Curcumin Blend or Bio-Curcumin 5-Loxin can help support people with fibromyalgia.†
Studies have also found that people with fibromyalgia are commonly low in the mineral magnesium, as well as Vitamin D. Supplementing with these nutrients can be beneficial for people with this issue.†
