Warming herbs can help with hormone regulation. INCREDIBLE!⁠
⁠
Here are some those powerful herbs to focus on adding to our meals this week:⁠
⁠
Cinnamon⁠
Chilli⁠
Cayenne⁠
Turmeric⁠
Pepper⁠
Ginger.⁠
⁠
Not sure how? Sprinkle in smoothies, curries, hot cacao or make a golden latte!⁠

LEGUMES⁠
⁠
These are a great way to increase fibre intake naturally. ⁠
⁠
But for those who are on a road to healing their thyroid and are still seeing flare-ups despite making changes to their diet, legumes may actually be having a not-so-positive effect.⁠
⁠
These guys contain things called lectins, which for someone with Hashimoto's disease, could be harder to digest.⁠
⁠
The aim is not to eliminate these nutritious bursts of goodness forever, but to work with a practitioner who can help recommend appropriate intake for our individual needs at different stages of our healing journey.⁠

THE SIMILARITIES⁠
⁠
1. Symptoms like tiredness, lethargy, joint pains, headaches, depression and digestive problems. ⁠
⁠
2. Stress and trauma can be contributing factors to the onset of the condition.⁠
⁠
THE DIFFERENCES⁠
⁠
1. Adrenal fatigue is caused by the dysfunction of the adrenal gland and often the pituitary gland which regulate the stress hormone: cortisol. Basically, the adrenals can experience burn out and start to release extra cortisol which can show a lot of the same symptoms as CFS or thyroid conditions.⁠
⁠
⁠
2. Chronic fatigue usually involves the imbalance of hormones and other environmental stressors in addition to cortisol. Thyroid imbalance, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, nutritional deficiencies, food allergies or intolerances, digestive dysfunction, abnormal gut microbiome and other infections could be the contributing factors behind chronic fatigue.⁠
⁠
⁠
WHICH DO I HAVE?⁠
⁠
For anyone asking themselves this question, it's important to book in with a functional medicine doctor who can take a holistic approach to look into the root causes of these conditions.⁠
⁠
Below are some of the tests that a functional medicine doctor may use to determine whether it is adrenal fatigue or chronic fatigue:⁠
⁠
- Cortisol tests⁠
- Full thyroid panel tests (TSH, free T4, free T3, thyroid antibodies, reverse T3)⁠
- Hormone tests⁠
- Vitamin and mineral levels ⁠
- Stool tests⁠
- Allergy tests for food intolerances⁠
- Heavy metal tests ⁠
- Genetic tests for metabolic mutations (SNP’s)

Eating for thyroid health?⁠
⁠
Fibrous vegetables are a great place to start. Full of essential vitamins and minerals, they also pass through the digestive tract easily, which assist in properly eliminating toxins and waste.⁠
⁠
What are fibrous veggies? Here's a list of some of my favourite:⁠
⁠
- green beans⁠
- asparagus, ⁠
- cooked broccoli, brussels sprouts and spinach⁠
- carrots⁠
- beetroot⁠
- celery⁠
- cucumber⁠
- garlic⁠
- onions⁠
- mushrooms
