AWAKEN your ‘sleepy’ thyroid by doing this 1 small thing every day
If you’re feeling BUSHED on a daily basis, despite getting your 40 winks at night…
And NO amount of caffeine can restore your energy levels…
There could be a hidden cause that’s DRAINING you.
And taking a nap won’t do a THING to help you recover – not if there’s something going on with your thyroid gland.
Problem is, most docs don’t know how to spot the problem… even when looking at your bloodwork!
Because thyroid issues are more complicated than just your thyroid hormone levels.
Fortunately, there’s 1 simple ingredient that you can add to your routine to support healthy thyroid function.
It’s PACKED with an essential… but OVERLOOKED… micronutrient that could turn your thyroid health around…
Even when other therapies have left you “high and dry”!
Why thyroid pills might FAIL you
The Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa) doesn’t just provide a food source for the birds and monkeys of the Amazon rainforest… or a tasty addition to your mixed nuts.
Its fruit… which grow in pods that look like coconuts… bear a nutritious seed that could help RESCUE a sluggish thyroid!
The seed is actually what we call the Brazil “nut,” though it’s not a TRUE nut.
But there’s no use in splitting hairs over such a detail… when Brazil nuts contain an ingredient that’s CRUCIAL to proper thyroid function!
I’m talking about the trace element, selenium.
You’ll find more selenium in Brazil nuts than any other nut in the bowl…
And more selenium in your thyroid tissue than anywhere else in your body!
But if you’re a little on the older side… or have certain health conditions… you might not have enough.
For instance, folks over 55 may need at least 55 mcg selenium per day. And some older folks… including kidney patients undergoing dialysis… could need EVEN MORE than that.
If your thyroid function isn’t what it could be… and hormone replacement therapy hasn’t worked for you in the past…
The missing ingredient might be selenium.
You see, your thyroid gland produces 2 main hormones to help regulate your body’s metabolism and other bodily functions.
T3 and T4.
But your body NEEDS selenium to help convert T4 into the active thyroid hormone, T3.
What’s more, selenium PROTECTS your thyroid gland from oxidative damage… by helping to produce the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase .
It makes sense, then, that research would show how low selenium levels are linked to thyroid disease.
I’m talking about hypothyroidism and goiter… and even autoimmune thyroid disorders like Hashimoto’s and Graves’ disease.
Fortunately, the science shows that getting JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT of selenium can help DECREASE thyroid disease activity… and IMPROVE quality of life.
If you’re not already loading up on good selenium sources in your meals… like seafood (oysters, tuna, sardines, shrimp) and organ meats (beef liver) … it may be time for a small change.
Even just 1 ounce of Brazil nuts could provide 10X your Recommended Daily Intake of selenium!
And eating as few as 2 Brazil nuts per day could be enough to get your levels to stay OPTIMAL.
Also check your multivitamin to see if it contains any selenium. If it doesn’t, you can get selenium as a supplement on its own – just make sure it’s the organic form, selenomethionine.
That’s the version your body can most easily absorb.
But tread lightly with this one – because too much selenium (like the amount in around 50 Brazil nuts) can be toxic!
If you have any question about what your selenium status is, your doc can easily check your levels.
