Q. How do I speed up my metabolism if I have thyroid issues?

From subscriber Bonnie

A. From my own experience in working with clients that are labeled with Thyroid issues there are many more layers to uncover.

First, I find out if their doctors even asked them what they were currently eating and their exercise routine. I find that most doctors don't even ask the basic questions and simply prescribe the drugs.

Other questions like are you drinking a lot of soda diet or non, and eating processed foods, are you getting enough sleep..are you stressed.?..and the list goes on. ..

You have to be proactive in your own life to see what you are doing that could be improved. I had one client who I suggested to change up things in her diet, include fish oils and focus on over all well- being and as she implemented those changes, there was no need to go the the medication that the doctor was prescribing.

We live in a society that is so quick to diagnose something without looking at in from a hollisitic approach. Of course I am not saying go off your medication if you are on it because I am not a doctor.

However I am saying that you need to do your own research and come to your own conclusions. The drug companies make billions on creating more kinds of drugs every year...and do you know that the studies that they won't even tell you about is that taking a placebo would work just a good, and if not better.

What does this tell us? It tells us that our minds control our bodies and that we can learn how to work with our bodies in a more harmonious way rather than chocking down pills that only addresses the affect and NOT the cause.

So my final thoughts is look to see where you can improve upon in your life to naturally restore health, this can be done in many simple ways of just being good to your body and your mind.

Q. I am confused as to why my body does not respond to diets and exercises.

From subscriber Niki

A. I find this common with many women and here are my top 4 reasons as to why:

1. Not enough exercise- Too little stimulus to your body will not produce the results that you want. This is also dependent on your metabolism

2. Eating enough protein- Eat enough to build muscle and burn fat. Protein also keeps your metabolic rate up

3. Not giving yourself enough time-If you keep switching your routine every week expecting results it is that you are not giving yourself enough time for your program. Sometimes it takes a few weeks in order to see results.

4. Been too low on calories for too long- Try upping your caloric intake for a few weeks to reset your metabolism
