Re: HIgh Cholesterol, liver & Hypothyroid issues

[Guest guest]

Just to add in another aspect. There is a link to High Cholesterol when there

are Hypothyroid imbalances.

If the thyroid is under functioning, the body makes fat much more quickly than

it is burned which increases these blood indicators. Also, if the liver &

gallbadder are more sluggish & congested which also is common in hypo(low)

Thyroid the fat is not as easily metabolized and cleared from the body. Cells

may be less receptive to taking up the LDL (bad cholesterol) so that too much

accumulates. Also, the liver one of the places that the Thyroid hormone T3 is

converted to T4 into a usable form for the body. So it can create a vicious

cycle where it stymies liver function so that fewer hormones become active.

So is there a remedy to all this?

What you described is mostly my issues which are now causing high hemoglobin

(thick blood) and hiigh insulin. I already take liothyronine 50mcg every

morning, 4 AdreCor and 2 thyroid complex. sigh.

Any suggestions? Someone did suggest the natkoses (?).

That makes sense, so now how to get off the merry-go-round.

I just got some blood work done and the doc said everything is fine, but I

noticed some of the results were high and low of normal.

Don't know how to interpret it. Where to start?
