Hormonal Health – The Thyroid

What Role Does The Thyroid Play?

The thyroid gland is a gland shaped like a butterfly that is situated in the lower part of your neck. If your thyroid is functioning properly, you should not be able to feel it.

The main function of the thyroid gland is to regulate your body’s metabolism, which is responsible for breaking down food and converting it into energy. The thyroid controls the pace at which this process occurs.

The two main hormones your thyroid releases – thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) – collectively make up thyroid hormone.

A sluggish metabolism can lead to the accumulation of excess food as fat in your body instead of converting it into energy, resulting in weight gain or difficulty losing weight. To find out more click the button below.

I’ve never really suffered with injuries in my sporting life, however picking up little niggles now & then, I suppose Father Time catches up with us all. However, incredible relief from an Achilles injury today and hopefully on the mend… I’ve been packing with ice but after expert consultation its heat treatment that will solve this one… many thanks to Claudia @ BioMed. Can I suggest that anyone who has an injury goes and see’s her – she really is an expert in her field of work.

I have had 3 electro acupuncture appointments this wee, two treatments on my Achilles injury, also my shoulder, neck & back which Claudia treated and I feel that despite the pain especially from the muscle scraping on Tuesday that my injuries are so much better. My sleep deprivation is likely to be connected and I received brilliant advise from her regarding vitamin intake, rest and recovery whilst training is crucial to long and short term recovery. Non impact cardio suggested, heat treatment despite thinking that R.I.C.E. was doing it good when in fact it needed heat treatment. So anyone with any injury go and see her, she knows her stuff – very warm and friendly.

Claudia recommended trying needle fee electro acupuncture on my knees, due to me having knee issues for 2+ years, and after the treatment the pain in my knees has gone away completely! I highly recommend trying this if you have any sorts of knee pain!!
