and it is estimated that 60% are unaware that their thyroid is damaged causing symptoms such as weight gain, depression & anxiety, fatigue, forgetfulness, dry skin, hair loss and many more!
However, our Endocrine system is so much more than a separate gland such as the Thyroid Gland.
These glands function together as a cohesive system and it is important to understand the health of ALL of our endocrine glands. The balance of our endocrine system forms the basis of who we are and how we express our emotions.
It determines how happy, sad, brave, loving, and/or trusting we are. 95% of all hormones and neurotransmitters are made in our endocrine system.
Someone with a more loving upbringing will have neural pathways that support the release of chemicals and neurotransmitters such as dopamine and oxytocin. While someone with a unstable childhood will release more cortisol, adrenalin and stress hormones.
Someone with a dysfunctional endocrine system will have a loss of sense of self and spend too much time sorting out the lives of others instead of focusing on themselves. They struggle with poor self image and alternating moods. Their comfort zone shrinks due to a loss of self-confidence and an overwhelming feeling of being stuck - not able to move forward or go back. This can lead to addictions and not wanting to leave the house.
