So verhindern Sie Symptome Ihrer Schilddrüse (Müdigkeit, trockene Haut, Gewichtszunahme)

Are your thyroid glands acting up in the changing years? Are you suffering from an over- or under-function with dry skin, fatigue, weight gain or a heart attack? It is important to prevent thyroid falls so that the symptoms do not worsen, but, on the contrary, improve. I will talk about which thyroid falls these are and how to prevent them in this video. My name is Susanne Kirschner-Bruns. I am a doctor and curator. Women's health has been the focus of my work for 25 years. And I share everything I know about it with you on this channel. 95% of thyroid patients suffer from an under-function. The symptoms are diverse. Fatigue, i.e. this strong fatigue, depression, constipation, dry skin, weight gain, joint pain, muscle weakness, high cholesterol levels, thin hair, slow pulse, cold, concentration disorders. The list is endless. And often the thyroid gland is also enlarged. The thyroid gland is one of the most important hormone glands because its hormones are essential for almost all metabolic processes, for the growth of cells and other bodily functions. The connections are extremely complex. The thyroid gland is, so to speak, connected to every organ and all hormone glands. Here is a picture where you can see it quite well. It almost looks like the Berlin subway map. There you can see that the thyroid gland has its fingers everywhere in the game. Researchers have observed that women's risk of autoimmune diseases, especially in hormone reversal phases such as puberty, pregnancy and puberty, increases. For multiple sclerosis, for example, in puberty. For Hashimoto, when women go into puberty. And for rheumatoid arthritis after menopause. Autoimmune diseases affect 80% of women. The body's own immune system then falsely attacks its own body cells. In the case of thyroid, the cells that produce the thyroid hormone. Why are women so susceptible to autoimmune diseases? Among other things, researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville in America observed that oestrogen controls autoimmune diseases. All sex hormones, including oestrogen, also directly affect our genes. In turn, they regulate the defense and the immune system. Oestrogen, for example, switches on the gene for the signal substance interferon gamma. This substance controls defense processes. That's great. But on the other hand, it also strengthens autoimmune diseases. And that's the dilemma. Oestrogen also activates B-cells, which are special white blood cells that have in their memory, which the body has to produce antibodies against. If, repeated, or even a foreign bacterium, a virus or otherwise a pathogen, so to speak, stands in front of the door. Unfortunately, these B-cells are also responsible for autoimmune reactions. Progesterone also affects the immune system. On the other hand, male testosterone, which we women also carry in us, but not at the same level as men, causes a suppression of the immune system when it attacks a B-cell receptor. This is probably one of the reasons why more men are infected with COVID. The male immune system has been less effective at defending against the coronavirus than the female immune system. But let's go back to Hashimoto. The main difference why women are more often infected with Hashimoto than men is really due to the biological genetic difference. Women have two X chromosomes. Why is a man born to a man, at least as a male baby? Because men don't have two Xs, but one X and one Y chromosome. A study now suggests that the information for an autoimmune disease, i.e. Hashimoto, is based on a gene on the female X chromosome. It is said that there are X chromosomes that are directly linked to autoimmune diseases. Now I have gone deep with you into the cell level and this exciting matter. What do you need as a woman in the alternating years with a Hashimoto? So that you don't fall into the trap. First of all, let your thyroid hormones be determined regularly. If you have received the Hashimoto diagnosis again, then do it closely, i.e. every four to six weeks. With Hashimoto diagnosis for a long time, at least once a year. But every woman should basically have her thyroid hormones checked once a year. TSH is the superior hormone in the brain, from which the thyroid, which is in the neck, is controlled. I explain this pattern in detail in my video 10 tips for Hashimoto. TSH is determined by default in GP practice and often only this hormone. If the TSH value is high, this means that the thyroid does not release enough hormones. If the TSH value is low, then the thyroid releases too many hormones. Especially because you or when you take thyroid hormones. If you think, I now take thyroid preparation with my Hashimoto-conditioned subfunctions and everything is fine, then your body may reflect a different state to you. As the picture just showed, the thyroid itself is involved in many bodily functions. But this is also the other way around. So many different parameters affect the thyroid. A sleepless night or, of course, the estrogen level constantly fluctuating in the alternating years, a diet you are on right now, your emotional state, etc. can break down this very sensitive system. Important, and this is what you should address as a patient in the doctor's office, are further laboratory examinations of the thyroid. These are the values ​​you will find here in the box. These include the blood levels of thyroid hormones, FT4, FT3 and antibodies. Recommended are also the values ​​of vitamins, i.e. vitamin B12, vitamin D and also selenium and zinc. Because Hashimoto-conditioned subfunctions of these vitamins and trace elements often react with symptoms. Let's get to point 2. Make your body your ally. If you get a feeling for your body or have it, then you know what feels different or new in the context of the disease, what you feel, what you notice. Listen to your body and not just to the laboratory values. Even if I have just made the hormone determination so urgent, just listening to the laboratory value can turn out to be a trap. Some women still have complaints despite normal thyroid values. Listen to your body, and that is really important, because it is undoubtedly right. Hashimoto in particular is a disease with its many faces and facets, whose treatment must be re-adjusted over and over again. Small changes can bring great relief. So be sure to avoid trap number 3. Avoid stress. Because one character trait, a very burdening one, is the way in which autoimmune diseases occur. The immune system is then particularly auto-aggressive. This leads to an acute deterioration of the complaints in the case of Hashimoto, because many thyroid cells are suddenly destroyed and a lot of thyroid hormones can escape from these destroyed cells. If you actually suffer from the symptoms of a subfunction, i.e. fatigue, muscle pain and much more, then new symptoms can suddenly occur due to such a push, which correspond to a superfunction. Heart rate, insomnia, diarrhea, fear. Shifts are triggered by stress, and often several stress factors come together. Number 4. People with autoimmune diseases often react sensitively to certain foods. This is known in Hashimoto for gluten. But about half of Hashimoto patients also react sensitively to the milk protein casein. Milk products can therefore strengthen the symptoms in some Hashimoto patients. Avoid this casein trap. Try to see if your symptoms improve if you leave milk products alone for a while. Number 5. Don't give the thyroid overweight a chance. The subfunction slowly slows down metabolism. Unfortunately, the body no longer burns the calories reliably and efficiently. Against weight gain or post-weight gain in subfunctions, frequent and regular exercise as well as an adjustment of daily calories help. Good intermittent fasting. But then with breakfast and breakfast in the early evening. And by no means without breakfast. And a, as I said, dairy-free and anti-inflammatory diet. Anti-inflammatory means no sugar here in particular. I'm sure if you can get around these 5 thyroid cases, that you will be better off with inflammatory thyroid disease, i.e. Hashimoto.
