We always encourage You to consult qualified professionals before making health, fitness, or lifestyle decisions. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Most people only hear about iodine or Hashimoto’s, but in reality, toxins, infections, stressors, and even medications can interfere with thyroid hormone production and conversion — often through their impact on the liver, kidneys, gut, brain, muscle, and fat tissue. Hidden Disruptors of Thyroid Health Heavy Metals (Mercury, Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic) - Block iodine uptake → reduce T4/T3 synthesis. - Overload the liver → poor conversion. - Damage kidneys → impaired clearance. - Neurotoxic → worsen brain thyroid signaling. Sources - fish (mercury), lead pipes/paint, cigarette smoke, contaminated soil, industrial pollution. Parasites & Infections - Gut parasites steal nutrients like zinc & selenium (needed for conversion). - Chronic infections = constant immune activation → inflammation + high cortisol → more RT3. - Liver burden from parasite toxins = sluggish conversion. Medications - there's many that affect Thyroid as well as other organs where Thyroid Hormones are created. - Do NOT stop or adjust any of these. Check with your Doctor. Environmental Toxins - Plastics (BPA, phthalates): mimic hormones, block thyroid receptors. - Pesticides: mitochondrial damage → poor T4 → T3 conversion. - Flame retardants (PBDEs): interfere with hormone transport. Fat tissue stores these toxins, which get released during weight loss → more burden on liver + thyroid. Nutrient Deficiencies - Selenium, zinc, iron → required for deiodinase enzymes. - Magnesium, B vitamins, Vitamin D/A → support conversion & gene expression. - Deficiencies = sluggish liver, weak conversion, poor receptor function.

QUICK FIX- Doctors often prescribe Statins to lower cholesterol. These drugs block an enzyme in the liver (HMG-CoA reductase) that makes cholesterol. Result - Cholesterol numbers go down on paper. Side Effect - Statins also block production of CoQ10, a nutrient your cells & Heart - need for energy. Long-Term - This may lead to muscle pain, weakness, fatigue, brain fog, and even heart muscle problems (ironically, the very thing statins are supposed to “protect”). Next Step? - These side effects often lead to more medications — for pain, fatigue, memory issues, or diabetes. Suppressing 80% of cholesterol production with statins while ignoring the root 20% of triggers can actually be counterproductive. It’s like putting a lid on a boiling pot without turning down the heat. The body is smart — it’s telling you something deeper is off. Here’s the good news - small, focused lifestyle changes can flip the switch. Post "ROOT" below if you'd prefer a natural solution.

In andropause (Men) & menopause (Women), belly fat is NOT just “age-related slowing metabolism.” It’s - - Thyroid conversion issues (low T3, high RT3) - Adrenal stress and high cortisol - Insulin resistance made worse by estrogen decline - Toxins (including but not lmited to heavy metals) - Halide Exposure When you support your thyroid, adrenals , insulin sensitivity , toxins & halides - belly fat becomes much easier to lose — even in menopause. Who wants to know more about Thyroid related issues?

September feels like a reset for many families — new routines, school drop-offs, packed schedules. But here’s the FitnHealthy Forever Truth - Back to school doesn’t mean back off your Health Plan. In fact, this is the perfect time to recommit. - Structure is back. Use it to anchor in your workouts, meal prep, and sleep. - Kids are learning — so are you. Lead by example and show them what consistency looks like. - Busy doesn’t mean impossible. It means you lean on simple, repeatable habits that keep you moving forward. FitnHealthy Forever Tip- Schedule your Self-Care, workouts and meals in your calendar like you would a parent-teacher meeting — non-negotiable. This season can either throw you off… or it can become the reason you succeed. The choice is yours. Who’s ready to make September their strongest month yet?
