Let’s discuss thyroid conditions, and hypothyroidism specifically.
I want to talk about the mental and emotional connection to thyroid issues, and the physical connection that may contribute to hypothyroid.
The Mental and Emotional Connection
If you look at people like Louise Hay and Inna Segal, they are amazing individuals who have been able to tie our mental and emotional connections to physical conditions.
The thyroid is all about thinking “I never get to do what I want to do” and “When’s it going to be my turn?”
So many women who come to my programs have had kids, they’ve built business, they’ve got partners, they’re doing everything for their kids, doing everything for the business, doing everything for everyone else and not taking care of themselves.
This lifestyle creates a thyroid condition because the thyroid regulates metabolism. Then you put on weight and get a little bit fatter, and all of a sudden you have other self-image issues and it’s a downward spiral.
From an energetic, mental and emotional side of things, it’s important you start taking care of yourself. Today or tomorrow – make a plan, do the things you love, show up for yourself, fill your own tank first before you go out and help everybody else in the world.
The Physical Connection
The physical connection to hypothyroidism is directly related to radiation.
The thyroid is where radiation gathers in the body, from flying on planes and getting x-rays to exposure to Wi-Fi, microwaves and other things around us.
Another thing that accumulates in the thyroid is aluminium and mercury. Some people may have mercury dental fillings, or they might eat fish quite often (mercury accumulates in fish, shellfish and seafood).
There’s also potentially a lack of iodine creating a nutritional deficiency. Iodine is the main component that gets rid of radiation and helps the thyroid function.
How to Detox Your Thyroid
To get rid of heavy metals and toxicity, I recommend some type of cleansing.
You can do this by using greens. I have a product called Tolman Health Greens, which is alfalfa, barley grass and wheat grass. These actually cleanse heavy metals from the thyroid and prevent the uptake of more heavy metals, while also building your blood and giving you a vast variety of nutrition. Just simply putting a tablespoon in your water every day and drinking it will start that detoxification process.
Then start to add in more fresh fruits and vegetables, specifically mushrooms, pineapple and seaweed. Seaweed specifically is high in iodine and B12, and helps to detoxify the thyroid and get your metabolism working better. Put it in a smoothie or snack on it – this radically boosts thyroid function and improves your metabolism.
If you have a major thyroid condition, I highly recommend doing a fast. You can find lots of great information about the different types of fasting, how to prepare, what to expect while you are fasting, as well as how to break a fast properly in the Free Resources section of my website. And if you feel like you would rather fast in a supported environment, then you should definitely check out my Tolman Health Healing Hub in beautiful Bali.
Whenever you’re ready to take action, take a step in the right direction, and really look at the mental and emotional connection. And start doing what it is you love.
