1 Featured Topic: Low Thyroid (5 slides)

2 Too much, or too little? According to the American Thyroid Association, 60% of women have an undetected thyroid problem at some point in their life Getting the correct diagnosis for certain thyroid problems takes many women an average of 5 years worth of doctor visits Too little (underactive) thyroid activity = hypothyroid Too much (overactive) thyroid activity = hyperthyroid Underactive thyroid is up to 5 times more common than overactive thyroid Classic signs of low thyroid Fatigue Weight gain Dry skin Hair loss Also: constipation, slow heart rate, sensitivity to cold, and depression

3 Treat low thyroid function with Iodine and l-tyrosine Iodine + l-tyrosine = thyroid hormones These nutrients are the building blocks for thyroid hormones without them, the thyroid gland cannot make thyroid hormones Thyroid and Breast tissue have particularly high requirements for Iodine.

4 Going Down Iodine levels in American women of reproductive age have decreased 55% since the 1970s Iodine status overall has fallen about 50% Going UP Thyroid Cancer incidence has tripled in the last 30 years Synthroid: Number #1 Most Prescribed Drug 1. Synthroid 2. Crestor 3. Nexium

5 Iodine not just for underactive thyroid Thyroid cysts and nodules Breast Cancer Prostate Cancer Menopause symptoms Fertility Autism/ADHD Fibromyalgia/Brain Fog Weight management Energy

6 What to know about Iodine RDA for iodine is 150 micrograms (0.15 mg) daily Enough to prevent goiter but not sufficient to improve health Iodine experts recommend 6.25 to 12.5 mg of iodine daily for most people Dosage can range from 3 mg to 25 or even 50 mg daily For thyroid conditions, take 15 to 30 mg of iodine with mg of l-tyrosine daily Look for three forms of iodine: potassium iodide, sodium iodide, molecular iodine Breast tissue prefers molecular iodine Thyroid prefers potassium iodide Sodium iodide enhances iodine absorption

7 Easy Memory Boost from Ashwaghanda (1 slide)

8 Boost Your Brain with Ashwagandha 50 adults took either 300 mg of ashwaganda root or a placebo twice daily, for 8 weeks Participants reported common symptoms of mild memory problems, including forgetting appointments, losing train of thought during conversations, and feeling more overwhelmed by making decisions Results: the ashwagandha group experienced Double the improvement in memory Double the improvement in mental function 10% improvement in attention, with the placebo group showing no improvement

9 Nutrient of the Day: Amla (3 slides)

10 Amla Fruit Amla or Indian gooseberry is fruit native to India In comparison studies, amla s antioxidant activity is stronger than many other fruits and/or nutrients, including silymarin from milk thistle Amla has a high concentration of vitamin C from 4-8 times more vitamin C than oranges In an animal model of cancer, administration of amla restored antioxidant activity (glutatione, vitamin E, vitamin C) and reduced free radical activity to nearly normal levels

11 Amla for the Heart The effects of gooseberry extract and atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) were compared in people with diabetes (which brings an increased risk of heart disease) Gooseberry was equally effective as Lipitor Increased glutathione levels by 61% Decreased c-reactive protein by 63% Increased HDL levels by 17% Gooseberry has no significant adverse effects Statin drugs are associated with liver damage, kidney failure, and severe muscle pain

12 More Heart Benefits of Amla Prevents oxidation of LDL cholesterol (oxidized LDL cholesterol leads to plaque formation and blocked blood vessels) Reduces blood sugar levels (animal model of diabetes) Prevents oxidative damage after a heart attack Prevents thickening of blood vessel walls, which also leads to atherosclerosis Dosage: 1,000 mg daily
