PART 2Understanding Hypothyroidism -Signs and Symptoms- Carolyn Dean MD ND Hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid gland that is not producing enough thyroid hormone to keep the body operating efficiently leaving a person feeling sluggish and low functioning. Having an undiagnosed thyroid problem is an all too common occurrence because blood tests aren’t accurate enough and the symptoms can be easily confused with other conditions.Tonight on Dr. Dean’s weekly LIVE show we’ll be unraveling the signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism and how to begin to restore your body to optimal thyroid and immune system function. What do you do when you suspect that you do have a thyroid imbalance? For starters, you could see if you are experiencing 3 or more of the following common signs of Hypothyroidism: Yeast infection/ yeast overgrowthWeight gain or difficulty burning caloriesBody temperature regulationStomach and digestive issues including acid reflux, bloatingDepressionFeeling tired or fatiguedSleep apnea which can also be associated with low cortisol due to continued hypothyroid stateLow heart rateHeart palpitations, AFibThinning, brittle hairRaynaud’s syndrome (painful blue/red fingers with exposure to coldPolymyalgia (muscle pain and stiffness around shoulders, hips)ConstipationBrain fog, memory lossDry skinMuscle crampsLump in breastBrittle nailsSkin problems (hives, psoriasis, eczema)Hoarse voiceCold hands and feetScalloped tongueSex hormone and menstrual issuesLow sex driveChronic infections, immune compromisedHeadaches and migrainesFurthering your investigation, consider a screening blood test. Through our partnership with GrassrootsHealth Dr. Dean has added a blood test for TSH to Magnesium RBC, Omega-3 fatty acids, and Vitamin D. With symptoms and blood tests in hand, determining the most likely culprits will help you address the causes of your condition and move into recovery. The most common causes of hypothyroidism are mineral deficiency and yeast overgrowth – two conditions that disable the thyroid from functioning properly creating a perfect storm that leads to autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s and chronic mineral deficiency. Slowing the effects of Hashimoto’s and chronic mineral deficiency starts with removing inflammatory foods and introducing highly absorbed minerals helps to restore the immune system and allows the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones. It was long believed that iodine was the only mineral for the thyroid. But within the last several years it has become apparent, through research and biochemical evidence, that there are nine separate minerals involved with thyroid hormone production. Iodine T3 has 3 iodine molecules; T4 has 4. So, it’s safe to say that the thyroid can’t function without iodine. T4 or (thyroxine) is 68 percent iodine by weight, and T3 (triiodothyronine) is 58 percent.Selenium A necessary cofactor in the production of thyroxine (T4) and it also converts T4 to the more active form, T3. A total of 11 selenium-dependent enzymes have been identified as necessary for thyroid function and thyroid hormone production. If you take iodine, especially the high amounts of iodine that some doctors are recommending, without selenium, you can cause selenium deficiency and all the selenium deficiency side effects that are not that well known. If you take selenium without iodine, you can cause iodine deficiency. Zinc Required for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Zinc deficiency, plain and simple, can result in hypothyroidism. Conversely, thyroid hormones are essential for the absorption of zinc. And here’s a scary fact – the hair loss attributed to hypothyroidism may not improve with thyroid hormone replacement unless zinc supplements are added. Molybdenum Molybdenum-dependent enzymes function in the oxidative system of thyrocytes (thyroid epithelial cells). They also play an important role in T3 (triiodothyronine) release from the thyroid gland. Here’s another interesting fact, molybdenum helps to break down yeast toxins and yeast gets a leg up when your temperature is low due to hypothyroidism. Boron Helps the conversion of the storage form of thyroid hormone, T4, to T3, the active form. Copper Plays an important role in the metabolism of the amino acid tyrosine, which is a precursor to T4 (thyroxine). Chromium Enhances insulin activity playing a major role in the regulation of insulin release and its effects on carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism. Conversion of T4 to T3 is influenced by insulin, so in a roundabout way, chromium helps this conversion. Manganese Required to transport the hormone thyroxine into our cells. Magnesium Calcium and magnesium must be balanced in the body to ensure proper thyroid function. If there is too much calcium, thyroid hormones can become diminished. Magnesium is the regulator of calcium absorption and utilization. Tonight on Dr. Carolyn Dean Live we’ll be talking with Dr. Dean about hypothyroidism, signs and symptoms and how to help the body recover from this imbalance About Dr. Carolyn Dean Dr Carolyn Dean MD ND has been featured on national media for over 30 years offering practical strategies to improve health, vitality, and well-being the natural way.

One of the signs of diabetes is low magnesium; it’s in all the medical texts but because we never learned about the importance of minerals in medical school, doctors do not routinely test for magnesium. And if they do, they use the wrong test. The serum magnesium test is highly inaccurate. But, luckily you can order your own Magnesium RBC test without a doctor’s prescription online at Request A Test. It’s only $49.00, but you want to have an optimum magnesium level of 6.0-6.5mg/dL. Diabetes damages the kidneys and is the leading cause of kidney disease. However, when the kidneys are impaired, doctors tell their patients not to take magnesium, which is what they actually need to heal their kidneys. Are you detecting the pattern here? Do you see the irony? In the original edition of The Magnesium Miracle, Dr. Dean did not have a specific section on Kidney Disease. That was mostly because the association of magnesium with kidney disease has for many decades been to just avoid it. Over the years the medical and scientific communities have started to acknowledge that the kidneys need magnesium just like any other organ and the attack on magnesium has little scientific merit. Magnesium is a biological necessity and the blanket avoidance of it in kidney disease has led to untold suffering. The NIH acknowledges a “growing burden of kidney disease.” Statistics show a sharp increase in kidney disease affecting one in 10 American adults. But how are doctors diagnosing kidney disease these days? Perhaps they are setting the criteria for kidney filtration rates at a lower level much like they are doing with blood pressure and cholesterol. By having broader criteria, more people find themselves being diagnosed with pre-diabetes, pre-hypertension, and now pre-kidney disease and are terrified because they are being told they are developing chronic diseases for which there is no cure. Catching more people in the net of pre-kidney disease means these patients will be offered medications for associated conditions – like heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes that seems to go hand-in-hand with kidney disease. Dr. Dean points to another factor in kidney disease: the rampant use of prescription medications. For example, a 2016 study gives evidence that PPI heartburn drugs cause kidney injury.[i] The authors echo my sentiments that any drug should only be used when necessary, not as a preventive measure. They say, "The results emphasize the importance of limiting PPI use to only when it is medically necessary, and also limiting the duration of use to the shortest duration possible. A lot of patients start taking PPIs for a medical condition and they continue much longer than necessary." Often doctors tell patients to keep taking drugs “just in case” their symptoms come back instead of instituting more natural measures to prevent recurrence of symptoms.

Globally, as of 2015, the International Diabetes Federation, reported an estimated 415 million adults are living with diabetes. Yes, that’s more than the population of the U.S. The incidence of diabetes is increasing rapidly, and by 2030, this number will likely double. Many people live with type 2 diabetes for a long period of time without being aware of their condition. By the time they figure it out the complications of this condition may already be present.

People who have been newly diagnosed with heart challenges are told to lay off the cholesterol-laden sandwiches and steer clear of full-fat dairy items loaded with saturated fat. But new research shows this advice may be misguided. A decade-long study that reviewed cardiovascular disease research extending over more than 70 years found low magnesium levels contributed more to heart disease than did cholesterol or even saturated fat. In fact, for many years research has shown magnesium deficiency to be strongly related to all aspects of heart disease, including arrhythmias, irregular heartbeats, angina, ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease and the risk factors for heart disease such as hypertension and high cholesterol. Andrea Rosanoff, one of the magnesium's most aggressive researchers, shares her findings from much of her research and brings much awareness about magnesium deficiency to the table. Her work shows that common risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, and metabolic syndrome are all associated with low nutritional magnesium status or low magnesium dietary intakes. Also that there are many peer-reviewed studies that show correcting or preventing a nutritional magnesium deficit can and will correct or prevent cardiovascular disease events, including death. In addition to the work of researchers like Rosanoff and Dr. Mildren Selig, Dr. Carolyn Dean has contributed to the unmasking of magnesium deficiency as a common denominator in heart disease risk factors. Dr. Dean has published a comprehensive list of the 65 conditions that may be indicators of magnesium deficiency in her new edition of The Magnesium Miracle, 2017 Edition - you can get that on Amazon. One interesting caveat: very few allopathic doctors consider looking at magnesium as a treatment for heart disease. Dr. Dean believes that when you have one common denominator like magnesium, it’s necessary to pursue healthy dietary supplementation before using strong drugs with side effects. To check your own magnesium levels, request a Magnesium RBC test from your family physician. Only 1% of the total body magnesium is in the blood, and therefore the serum magnesium test is not an accurate measure of magnesium in the whole body. By getting the Magnesium RBC test you'll get a more accurate picture of your deficiency or sufficiency level. If you have a magnesium deficiency then it's best to modify the diet and include magnesium supplementation. Dr. Dean recommends magnesium supplementation for the simple reason smart dietary choices don't necessarily lead to sufficient magnesium intake so supplementation is recommended. Of course, Dr. Dean also recommends her own formula, ReMag.* The bottom line is getting adequate magnesium either through diet, supplements, or both can both prevent heart disease in most people and reverse heart disease risk factors. It's what a body needs! Tonight on our internet based radio show, we'll  be talking with Dr. Carolyn Dean about how to Correct and Prevent Nutritional Magnesium Deficiency along with a wide range of health topics and safe solutions. You will love hearing the beneficial interactions with our callers and hosts alike including the body/mind connection, identifying the 'conflict' in the 'conflict basis' of disease and much more.

Celiac disease is grossly underdiagnosed in the United States in large part because the medical community is operating on outdated information about the condition. And despite the recommendations of the National Institute of Health back in 2004, we have yet to implement a mass screening for celiac disease, and health care providers remain alarmingly uninformed. The Gluten Free RN is taking steps to remedy the situation by sharing the basics for medical professionals. Today she covers the WHO’s definition of celiac disease, how our understanding of the condition has change over time, and some common misconceptions about celiac disease. She also explains the top symptoms, recommended testing for celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, and the neurological nature of the disorder. Listen in to learn what health care providers need to know about this undiagnosed epidemic, the complex web of health issues that may result from undiagnosed celiac disease, and why it is important to have a high index of suspicion and include celiac testing on every differential diagnosis. Help your patients go gluten-free and collect something other than autoimmune disorders!  What’s Discussed:  The standard of care in the US Providers should have diagnosed at least 1% of patients with celiac disease Undiagnosed for 70 years, must overcome to prevent further pain and suffering The goals of Nadine’s consulting business Works with facilities to protect celiac patients Ensure compliance with ADA How the media portrays the gluten-free lifestyle Dissuades people from adopting diet (program sponsors influence messaging) Negative headlines How our understanding of celiac disease has changed over time The recommendations of the 2004 NIH consensus meeting regarding celiac disease Mass screening (meets WHO criteria) Education for health care providers The World Health Organization criteria for mass screening Early clinical detection essential Condition is common Screening tests highly sensitive and specific Effective treatment available Untreated condition leads to complications The autoimmune disorders associated with undiagnosed celiac disease MS Type 1 diabetes Lupus Rheumatoid arthritis Sjögren’s Vitiligo The WHO definition of celiac disease Characterized by hypersensitivity to gluten Prevalence currently estimated at 1:1,000 worldwide Screening trials suggest prevalence of 1:100 Results in weight loss, diarrhea, nutritional deficiencies Caused by villous atrophy May present as extraintestinal manifestations or remain clinically silent Why celiac disease can’t be ruled out with a single test Can be triggered at any point HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes indicate genetic predisposition Misconceptions about celiac disease in the US medical community Thought to be digestive disorder, but really neurological Can present with seizures, numbness, constipation, balance issues, celiac cerebellar ataxia How skin issues are a reflection of what is going on internally Epithelial skin is same tissue as inside How damage to the small intestine leads to multiple health issues Increased permeability of intestinal wall Leaky blood brain barrier Leaky blood vessels Leaky lungs and skin The classic symptoms of celiac disease Chronic diarrhea Malabsorption Extreme weight loss Malnutrition What celiac disease looks like in children Diarrhea, constipation General abdominal pain Failure to thrive Falling off growth chart Short stature Learning disabilities ADD, ADHD, ODD Autism Skin issues (eczema, cirrhosis, acne) Delayed puberty Dental problems Anorexia, obesity Bed wetting The prevalence of celiac disease in older adults 30% of people diagnosed with celiac disease are over 60 Potential signs of celiac disease in the aging population Dementia Alzheimer’s Vision, hearing loss Urinary problems Cancer diagnosis (especially bowel cancer) Ataxia Arthritis Hair loss Fatigue Osteoporosis Anemia The elements that get into your blood stream as a result of villous atrophy Toxins Heavy metals Undigested food particles Yeast, fungus Parasites, other harmful bacteria Top symptoms of celiac disease Chronic anemia Fatigue Muscle, joint pain Depression, irritability Thyroid disorders Infertility issues GI problems (from mouth to rectum) Migraine headaches Psychiatric disorders Seizures Dermatitis herpetiformis Down, Turner or Williams syndrome Cardiomyopathy The effects of gluten on the brain Anger Depression, anxiety Learning disabilities Lethargy Insomnia Brain fog Schizophrenia Dyslexia Populations affected by celiac disease Any age, race, gender 3 million people all over the world Study of healthy blood donors in Mexico found unexpectedly high prevalence of tTGA positivity Now recognized as common disease among Middle Eastern and North African populations 1:7 Americans suffer from non-celiac gluten sensitivity (43 million people) The findings of an economic study by Columbia University Non-diarrheal presentations now most frequent Celiac disease grossly underdiagnosed in US Average delay in diagnosis is 4-11 years for adults in North America Significant improvement in quality of life when patients diagnosed and treated appropriately The importance of ensuring that medications are gluten-free Nadine’s recommendations around nutrition for celiac patients Gluten- and dairy-free Ideally Paleo Super-good high fat Things to consider re: the results of a celiac panel A positive test guarantees intestinal damage Include total IgA and IgG 70% produce a false negative Additional tests that offer valuable information Fecal fat score (ask for #, over 300 indicates malabsorption) Complete blood count Comprehensive metabolic panel Vitamin D3 level (below 40 ng/ml is critically low) Vitamins A, E & K levels Vitamin B6 & B12 levels MTHFR gene test Magnesium RBC test Zinc level Iodine level B9/Folate level Ferritin level Iron level Thyroid panel Bone density test Lipid panel ANA test (autoimmune issues) ESR test CRP test Surprising facts around celiac disease contrary to

Globally, as of 2015, the International Diabetes Federation, reported an estimated 415 million adults are living with diabetes. Yes, that’s more than the population of the U.S. The incidence of diabetes is increasing rapidly, and by 2030, this number will likely double. Many people live with type 2 diabetes for a long period of time without being aware of their condition. By the time they figure it out the complications of this condition may already be present. One of the signs of diabetes is low magnesium; it’s in all the medical texts but because we never learned about the importance of minerals in medical school, doctors do not routinely test for magnesium. And if they do, they use the wrong test. The serum magnesium test is highly inaccurate. But, luckily you can order your own Magnesium RBC test without a doctor’s prescription online at Request A Test. It’s only $49.00, but you want to have an optimum magnesium level of 6.0-6.5mg/dL. Diabetes damages the kidneys and is the leading cause of kidney disease. However, when the kidneys are impaired, doctors tell their patients not to take magnesium, which is what they actually need to heal their kidneys. Dr. Dean has written articles and blogs about the need for magnesium in kidney disease and is in the process of updating those texts with the new information she has written for the 2017 revision of The Magnesium Miracle which is be released in August of this year [2017]. Tonight on our internet based radio show, we'll be talking with Dr. Carolyn Dean about how Diabetes, Kidney Disease, and Magnesium along with a wide range of health topics and safe solutions.
