Thyroid & Weight Loss

American Thyroid Association explains the relationship between Thyroid and Weight as followings:

It has been appreciated for a very long time that there is a complex relationship between thyroid disease, body weight and metabolism. Thyroid hormone regulates metabolism in both animals and humans. Metabolism is determined by measuring the amount of oxygen used by the body over a specific amount of time.

WHY I AM FAT AND FEELS ALWAYS TIRED?

  • Why a person can have normal thyroid hormones on blood tests yet have the symptoms of a sluggish thyroid
  • Why don’t exercise and diets work anymore for me?
  • Why do I crave sugar, breads, pasta, pastries or chocolate?
  • Why do I always feel tired?

The answer is that you may have hypothyroidism, a thyroid gland disorder that slows the metabolism, making it virtually impossible to lose weight and often causing a host of other disturbing conditions. While you are doing exercises everyday for hours, you may not actually losing enough weight as you desired. Why? A fat cell is really just a storage center for potential energy in a solid form. That's right, you really don't have fat, you have POTENTIAL ENERGY. There is three ways the body extracts energy from itself. Only ONE way extracts FAT as energy. The other two ways extracts sugar as energy. In other words, a person could spend a lot of time exercising and not even tap into the fat energy storage depot. And that's what is happening to many people. In fact, many of the current exercise trainers don't really understand this principle and are giving the wrong advice.

In addition, as a person ages it becomes more and more difficult to lose weight. However, age does make fat-burning hormones more resistant but there are several strategic things you CAN do to make things easier.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

USING BRT TECHNIQUE

Body Restoration Technique (BRT) is a non-invasive method of locating and removing energy blockages. BRT uses the body reflex points similar to acupressure points. BRT does not diagnose or treat disease or symptoms. It looks at symptoms ONLY to understand WHY the body is responding inappropriately.

MAKE YOUR MIND DETERMINED

Weight will be much more complicated than thyroid. Treating thyroid may help them lose some weight, but it is not the only answer for weight. As Dr. David Zhang always tells our patient: "I do my work. You do yours".
