Links between thyroid health and brain health. Wow. That's a big subject. <Laugh> so I'll try to keep it short here. There's a link depending on who you are listening to, they might call it crosstalk between the thyroid and the brain. They might cause it the, the, the, the brain thyroid web, there's a bunch of, there's a bunch of terms for it, but there's a vicious cycle between the brain and the thyroid usually starts, usually starts with the thyroid and to keep it basic when you have autoimmune thyroid disease, when you have Hashimoto's okay. Autoimmune thyroid will, when you get a trigger to your thyroid. In other words, if you have Hashimoto's thyroid disease and there's so many triggers, there's the gluten, there's the there's different types of whether they're night shades or lectins, or there's glyco glyphosates, or, I mean, there's just a ton of food ones.

There's chemical ones. There's, there's, there's pathogenic ones. There's there's just a hunt there's lifestyle ones. Whenever you introduce one of these triggers into your system depending on your sensitivities, you're likely to set off a thyroid response, cuz you're going to cause too much thyroid hormone to, to be ejected outta your system. This doesn't a lot of different things. Okay. It can cause it can cause heart palpitations, but it can in someone who is prone to anxiety or panic attacks, because they have a easily firing mid midbrain or it's called an a amygdala. That's not the midbrain an easily following a MIDD which is the fear center of the brain that extra thyroid hormone can set that off. And it can cause you to have anxiety or panic attacks in general. Hashimoto's is known to when, when, when it's, when it's active, it's known to increase inflammation to the frontal low and it's known to decrease oxygen to the brain.

In general, the inflammation can hit the frontal low when, when you have, so when you have inflammation in your brain, your neurons, which are the, which are the the nerve cells of nerve tissue nerve cells, the neurons, they when they become inflamed they'll become excitatory producing some of the symptoms I just mentioned, but also inflammation will cause your neurons to not be able to make proper neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, meaning serotonin and dopamine means serotonin. I'm not happy. I have seasonal effective disorder, depressed dopamine. I'm not motivated. I'm angry. I wake up tired. And so, and so you put the two of 'em together, you have significant depression and maybe someone who wants to do harm to themselves, this is a chemical issue. And, and so Hashimoto's literally is involved in of those, in all, in all of those factors, Hashimoto's is now being and migraines, migraines, what are migraines, MI migraines, if you break it down to the simplest aspects of it.
