Every cell requires oxygen, glucose (sugar) and thyroid hormone. Low thyroid hormone activity could result in dysfunction of any tissue, but brain fog and memory problems are very common.
Many other problems can mimic, or look like hypothyroidism. Anemia and dysglycemia are the most common.
Do you think this is connected to Alzheimer’s? My mother has it and she also has thyroid problems Ana a diabetic
I think it is connected to more rapid decline with neurodegenerative diseases, but a little-known fact is that Alzheimer’s is being called Type III diabetes in the scientific research. The connection to Alzheimer’s is driven more by blood sugar. I see a lot of different problems in practice, diabetes is a very common one. I created a video on my approach to supporting blood sugar that you may find interesting. I talk about all 5 types of diabetes… https://drbradshook.com/conditions/natural-treatment-for-type-2-diabetes/
Oh no! My feed was disconnected! I will try to upload the saved video.
Is brainfog olso when you use the wrong words even though you know what word to use? Mixing up the words, making me feel so stupid but I have a feeling that it is because the hashimotos is eating the brain.. so to speak
Can your antibodies be positive at one point then become negative?
Hi Jeannette. Yes, but that does not mean that the autoimmunity is gone, only that the antibodies are low. The other thing is that antibodies don’t equal tissue destruction. You can have antibodies circulating but not attaching to the tissues. The antibodies are “tags” that ID foreign invaders so that other cells can come along and destroy the tagged invaders, but if they don’t attach then there is no destruction even if they are high. My main point is that antibodies don’t equal tissue destruction, and their decrease does not mean improvement. Hope that helps.
Makes sense….my endo just told me my antibodies were within normal limits and and I needed to see a neurologist for the brain fog and extreme fatigue
HI, everyone! In case you didn’t realize it, this stream was cut short. The good news is that the stream was fully recorded, so I uploaded it here: https://business.facebook.com/drbradshook/videos/1779703618935386/
