3. Adrenal /Pituitary / Thyroid / Axis
TRH = Thyroid releasing
Hormone
(Hypothalamus senses T4)
TSH = Thyroid Stimulating
Hormone
(Pituitary)
Stress
Hypothalamus =
corticotrophin-releasing
hormone = pituitary =
adrenal = Cortisol = TSH

4. The thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine (T3)
and thyroxine (T4)
•Iodine is necessary for the production of T3 and T4
•ratio of T4 to T3 is roughly 20 to 1
• T4 is converted to the active T3 (three to four times
more potent than T4) within the Liver, Intestines,
Kidneys, Lungs
•dietary selenium is essential for T3 production.

5. Lab Testing:
•TSH
•Total T4
•T3 uptake (measured unsaturated binding sites
for thyroid transport proteins … Estrogen binds
to this)
•T7 (FTI , Free Thyroxin Index)
•Total T3 (Decreased in Hypothyroidism, high bp
meds, acute illness, starvation, steroids, anything
that affects Thyroid Binding Globulin)
[LOW T3 Syndrome]
Lab Tests and Missed Things That Affect Them

6. Thyroid
T4 99.9% is bound to TBG (Thyroxine Binding Globuline)
T3 99.5% Is Bound to TBG
salicylates decrease the binding
(aspirin therapy contributes to Hypothyroid)
Estrogens bind to TBG
•Nutrient Deficiencies, Heavy metal exposure, Adrenal Stress,
enzyme deficiencies, chronic illness, Oxidized PUFA’s
PUFA’s= canola oil, soy oil, vegetable oil, safflower oil,
sunflower oil, walnut oil, ect…),Processed food additives

10. Adrenals:
all derived from cholesterol
•Mineralocorticoids
•glucocorticoids
•sex hormones
Adrenals
•Estrogens
•Progesterone
•Testosterone
•fights cancer
•produces interferon
•vital for immune system
Adrenals the pharmacy of the body

11. No clinical findings until 90% of adrenal cortex is destroyed
Up to 90% of adrenal insufficiency - women ages 20-50
Cortisol = anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant
•Alcohol
•Drugs
•Foods
•Environmental
•Stress
Progesterone= Protects you from cancer, infection, and
autoimmune disorders.
Adrenals
Sex hormones(menopause in women), whole host of physical,
emotional and psychological effects, from sex drive to weight gain

12. Cortisol Vital
Short term vs Deadly Long term
Higher and more prolonged
levels of circulating cortisol
•Impaired cognitive performance
•Dampened thyroid function
•Blood sugar imbalances
•Decreased bone density
•Sleep disruption
•Decreased muscle mass
•Elevated blood pressure
•Lowered immune function
•Slow wound healing
•Increased abdominal fat
Cortisol is a life sustaining
adrenal hormone :
•Blood sugar levels
•Fat, protein and carbohydrate
metabolism
•Immune responses
•Anti-inflammatory actions
•Blood pressure
•Heart and blood vessel tone
•Central nervous system
activation
Depression, lupus, migraine, menopause, diabetes, and aging ,MS
All have chronically increased production of cortisol

13. Raises Cortisol

14. Iodine
Iodine is a key component of thyroid hormone
Iodine deficiency linked to Breast Cancer
Iodine is Mimicked By:
Chlorine, fluorine and bromine
•halides like iodine, they compete for your iodine receptors.
Bromine (40 years ago Iodine was replaced by Bromine):
• Banned in UK 1990, Canada 1994
• plastics, pesticides, hot tub treatments, fire retardants, some
flours and bakery goods, and even some soft drinks

15. Fluoride as a Medical Intervention for
Hyperthyroid
The use of fluoride as an anti-thyroid treatment beginning in
the 1800s linking fluoride ingestion to goiter, a swelling of the
thyroid gland resulting from a hypothyroid condition.
Up until the 1970s, scientists in Europe prescribed fluoride to
reduce the basal metabolism rate in patients with an over-
active thyroid gland
doses of just 2 to 3 milligrams of fluoride is sufficient to
reduce thyroid activity in hyperthyroid patients

16. Gluten, GMO, Vaccinations, Neurotoxins,
Pesticides
and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Gluten and food sensitivities and leaky gut can
cause inflammation.
Gluten can cause autoimmune responses and
is responsible for 30% of Hashimoto's
thyroiditis
•food particles can then be absorbed into your
bloodstream where your body misidentifies
them as antigens
•The body then produces antibodies against
them
These antigens are similar to molecules in your
thyroid gland. So your body accidentally attacks
your thyroid

17. • Hyperthyroid with bouts of Hypothyroid
• from excess iodine or decreased selinium
• Diagnosed by anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies in blood
• digestive system linked to
• autoimmune diseases
• lack of beneficial bacteria
• diet high in refined foods
• protein found in gluten looks very similar to our thyroid
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Grave’s Dis.
Autoimmune Disease
•Grave’s = iodine supplements/ heal the liver
•Vit D suppresses autoimmune system diseases
•Liver Health Essential to excrete the extra T4
•Selenium Supplements
•Herbs:
•Bugleweed – decreases TSH production
•Motherwort – Decreases Palpitations and Tachycardia

18. 2006 report Fluoride in Drinking Water: A
Scientific Review of EPA's Standards, the National
Research Council (NRC)
"several lines of information indicate an effect of
fluoride on thyroid function.“
"fluoride exposure in humans is associated with
elevated TSH concentrations, increased goiter
prevalence, and altered T4 and T3 concentrations"
with "similar effects on T4 and T3…reported in
experimental animals."
•NRC panel recommended "effects of fluoride on
various aspects of endocrine function should be
examined further, particularly with respect to a
possible role in the development of several
diseases or mental states in the United States“
"fluoride exposure in humans is associated with
elevated TSH concentrations, increased goiter
prevalence, and altered T4 and T3
concentrations" with "similar effects on T4 and
T3…reported in experimental animals."

20. • hot all the time
• tired, especially in the
morning
• unexplained change in weight
• depressed or anxious
• water retention
• bug eyes

• lump in your neck
Hyperthyroid

21. Cholesterol the vital building material for
Hormones
____________________________________________________
Cholesterol > pregnenolone > 17 hydroxylation > progesterone >
17 hydroxyprogesterone > 11 deoxycortisol > Cortisol
Cholesterol > pregnenolone > 17 hydropregnenolone > DHEA >
Androstenidione > Testosterone

22.  Cholesterol-lowering diets and drugs--can be expected to
disrupt the production of adrenal hormones and lead to:
 Blood sugar problems
 Edema
 Mineral deficiencies
 Chronic inflammation
 Difficulty in healing
 Allergies
 Asthma
 Reduced libido
 Infertility
 Various reproductive problems

24. The Solution to Healthy
Adrenals and Thyroid
Solutions
•Drink More Healthy Water
•Eat more organic veggies
•Reduce or eliminate medications
•Eliminate refined foods
•Eliminate enriched foods
•Eliminate Environmental toxins
•Deal with Stress Causes
•HFC Beverages & Food
•Standard American Diet
•Medication use
•refined foods
•enriched foods
•Environmental toxins
•Unhealthy Stress

25.  hyperoxidation, the formation of free radicals, is one of the
basic damaging processes in the body
 damage tissues at the cellular level and at the tissue level
Antidote to Adrenaline and Cortisol
 Vitamin B-3
 Vitamin C,
 Vitamin E,
 beta carotene
 selenium and others
 protect the body against the effect of the free radicals by
removing them more rapidly from the body.
Stress Hormones
Catecholamine's Adrenaline, Cortisol

26. Approximately 90% of the mercury, heavy metals
and toxins contained in our bodies gets
eliminated through stools
Chlorella , Spirulina are algae that has very high levels of
chlorophyll
Bentonite Clay Absorbs Toxins (don’t take with suppliments)

27.  juicing removes the indigestible fiber, so nutrients are available
to the body in much larger quantities than if the piece of fruit or
vegetable was eaten whole.
 when you eat a raw carrot, you are only able to assimilate about
1% of the available beta carotene. When a carrot is juiced,
removing the fiber, nearly 100% of the beta carotene can be
assimilated.

28. ENZYMES
All enzymes are proteins,
but not all proteins are enzymes
.
each chemical reaction in an body requires
its own specific enzyme
.
enzymes can be called an ORGANIC CATALYST
and are never changed by their reactions!
.
Enzyme helpers = COENZYMES or VITAMINS
enzymes are named for what they work on
enzyme names always end in -ASE
Lipase = for fat
Lactase = for milk sugars
Peptidase, Protease = for protein
 Amylase = Starches
*Patients with
Reflux avoid
Protease till
Gut is Healed

35. thyroid and adrenals link and infertility
stress causes
1.the hypothalamus (the corticotrophin-releasing hormone) to the
pituitary for the adrenals to increase cortisol
2.the cortisol can then inhibit TSH as well as block the conversion
from T4 to T3, causing symptoms of low thyroid
3.women decreased progesterone levels due to adrenal fatigue
4.precursor to progesterone, DHEA (dehydioepiandrosterone)
5.DHEA is used to metabolize cholesterol to make estrogen,
progesterone, and testosterone
6.poor adrenal function can directly affect the reproductive
system.
