It regulates metabolism, affects energy, mood, body temperature, heart, digestion, skin, hair and nail health. When the thyroid gland works slowly, the condition is called <strong>hypothyroidism<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Unfortunately, slow thyroid function is one of the most commonly <strong>undiagnosed hormonal disorders<\/strong>, especially in women. Millions of people walk through life exhausted, depressed, overweight and often ailing \u2013 unaware that the source of their problems lies in the thyroid gland. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u26a0\ufe0f How to recognize the first symptoms of hypothyroidism?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Symptoms of hypothyroidism develop slowly, they are often attributed to stress, aging or other diseases. But there are very clear indications that your thyroid gland is not working properly: <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Chronic fatigue and daytime sleepiness<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>No matter how much sleep you get, you feel tired, weak, exhausted, and have a hard time waking up. People with hypothyroidism often say, &#8220;I can sleep all day, but I&#8217;m still exhausted.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Sensitivity to cold<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>If you are always cold, especially in your hands and feet \u2013 this can mean a slow metabolism and reduced body heat production.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Psychological symptoms: depression, anxiety, brain fog<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Thyroid hormones affect the brain, so their deficiency causes a drop in mood, anxiety, sensitivity, forgetfulness, loss of interest in hobbies and society. Many are misdiagnosed with depression and are prescribed antidepressants, instead of checking the thyroid gland. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Weight gain for no reason and inability to lose weight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Do you eat healthy, move, but the weight is growing? Hypothyroidism slows down the burning of calories and causes fluid retention. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Heart and cholesterol disorders<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Reduced thyroid function increases the level of bad LDL cholesterol, the risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease. Many patients do not know that heart problems are often based on hormonal imbalances. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. <strong>Indigestion: constipation, bloating, slow metabolism<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Slowing digestion is a common sign \u2013 a feeling of heaviness in the stomach, irregular stools, loss of appetite.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. <strong>Changes in the skin, hair and nails<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The skin becomes dry, rough and cracked. Hair falls out (especially eyebrows), becomes lifeless. The nails are brittle and thin.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. <strong>Menstrual disorders and infertility<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Hypothyroidism interferes with ovulation, causes irregular or heavy menstruation, and increases the risk of miscarriage. More and more young women have reduced fertility precisely because of thyroid disease. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. <strong>Reduced immunity and frequent infections<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>A lack of thyroid hormones slows down the immune system. Colds, flu, long recovery from illness, frequent infections \u2013 all this can be associated with poor thyroid function. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. <strong>Joint and spine pain<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Many patients do not know that the thyroid gland directly affects the health of the joints. Pain in the knees, hips, back or the development of arthritis is often the result of hormonal imbalances. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. <strong>Goiter and nodules on the thyroid<\/strong> gland<\/h3>\n\n<p>When the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones, it can enlarge and create swelling (goiter), nodules, or pressure in the neck.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\uddec Why is hypothyroidism often overlooked?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Many symptoms are nonspecific, and blood tests for TSH and T4 sometimes do not reveal functional disorders. People may have symptoms even though their findings are &#8220;within the reference range&#8221;. That is why it is important to take a holistic approach to health.  <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udf3f Natural Approach to Thyroid Disease Treatment<\/h2>\n\n<p>At <strong>Mariolab Center,<\/strong> we practice a natural and functional approach to thyroid health.
