Low Thyroid or Hashimoto’s and What You Can Do About It (Aleesha D Acupuncture Anoka)!

Low Thyroid? Hashimoto’s?…Not sure? …

Did you know that 90% of the time Low Thyroid is Hashimoto’s?

Did you know Hashimoto’s is considered an Auto-Immune Thyroid Disease?

Before you give up on ever having enough energy again, losing weight, not feeling cold all the time, growing back your now thinning hair, or thinking you are stuck with this “Brain fog” that keeps you from being on top of your game, ask yourself…

 

–What Can I Do?– 

As overwhelming as it seems, there is actually a lot you can do!

With some lifestyle changes and healing modalities like Acupuncture, your body will slowly heal itself.

You may or may not have to take Thyroid medication.

Either way, cleaning up your lifestyle will give your body and brain the correct “soil” to start to heal

–and you will slowly start to feel better.

 

–Signs/ Symptoms …..How can I Feel Better?–

  • Energy starts to improve and you start feeling like getting out of bed more easily (Better Motivation)
  • Brain fog starts to clear away like parting clouds (Better Mental focus)
  • Mood Lifts (Less Anxiety & Depression)!
  • Weight Loss/ Maintenance (Balanced Metabolism)
  • Libido (healthy sex life)
  • Joint pain improves(Pain Relief)
  • Cold Intolerance (Improve Circulation)
  • Digestion cleans up (Less constipation or diarrhea)
  • Skin rashes & Dry skin Improves (Clearer skin/ Dry Skin Relief)
  • Hair/scalp become healthier again (No more thinning hair) and eyebrows can start to fill-in again-slowly!

 

–What Can I Work on (Lifestyle)?–

Diet / Acupuncture and other healing modalities/ Movement/ Meditation/ Supplements/ Sleep…

 

ACUPUNCTURE: When Acupuncture is Good for Your Thyroid

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that acupuncture can be used to treat thyroid disease.

 

DIET: How can we choose to eat healthy foods that support a low thyroid when the information out there is always changing and there are so many telling us to eat Paleo! or Eat Vegetarian! or Eat Vegan! or Eat Keto!…

Well, I find it easier to think of foods in terms of…

…LOW INFLAMMATION DIET. 

So, why eat a Low Inflammation Diet?… Well, as you know Disease is caused by Inflammation.

So what is Inflammation, really?…Well, think of it as a fire. The fire does not go away. It continues to burn…

It becomes chronic…

This chronic,burning inflammation or fire can manifest as skin irritations or with joint pain…Especially if you have been diagnosed with Thyroid Disease or really, any disease. Even when the fire is kept low by good lifestyle, it can continue to smolder. It is our job to keep it down and not add fuel to the fire with high inflammation foods or other stressors which can trigger stress responses in the body, and affect the thyroid. 

Low Inflammation Foods include good, quality fats and proteins, green leafy vegetables and non-processed, non-packaged foods. Good Low Inflammation Fat Examples include: Quality fats like Raw nuts, seeds, extra virgin olive oil, unrefined coconut oil, ghee/ clarified butter/ grass-fed butter, rendered fats like rendered duck fat. Be sure to check first with your doctor before starting a new diet.

High Inflammation Foods include things like gluten, refined sugars, simple carbs (think bread products). Even eating a small bite of glutinous food will create inflammation in the body that lasts months. Once we stop eating it and find we can cook and bake other delicious alternatives and avoid all the pain and suffering, avoiding these inflammatory foods becomes easier. I liken it to returning to an abusive relationship and use this example with my patients: we think this time will be different-this time I can handle it-I am stronger somehow this time-last time wasn’t so bad-this time I won’t get burned or hurt-and yet we always do-and it gets worse each time until some of us become very broken and unhealthy. It is our job to look out for our bodies and minds so that we can stay healthy.

Supplements: More than likely You are Low in Magnesium (especially with low thyroid)… 

Read the 7 Signs of Magnesium Deficiency

Often Progesterone is Low with Low Thyroid. (Interestingly enough, Magnesium helps the body with Progesterone balance). So, supplementing with Magnesium is usually a good thing. Read Here Why You Probably Don’t get Enough Magnesium

 

MOVEMENT: Moving the body improves both mind and body, whatever ails you. Specifically for thyroid, good forms of exercise include: Yoga, Qi Gong, Walking and perhaps Jogging or Running. Be sure to check first with your doctor before starting any exercise routine.

 

SLEEP: Sleep is crucial to our health and well-being and can help stave off disease. We now know the effects poor sleep can have on the brain…

According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), Sleep deprivation increases Alzheimer’s protein in the brain.

Basically, the protein plaques which are cleaned up during sleep, are not cleaned up due to lack of quality sleep.

 

I think of the little yellow Pac-Man (gobbling up all the bad plaque in my brain at night when I sleep) and this usually gets my butt to bed in time for 8 hours of sleep. What can I say?- I am a very visual learner.

If visual is one of your more dominant learning styles, you may choose to adopt this method of getting yourself to bed earlier, too!

I am all about doing what works for us as individuals to make ourselves compliant on the big stuff.

 

–Hey, sometimes we have to convince the little kid in us that it really is time for bed!

Love Big Chocolate Taste without a Big Waist (Cacao Coconut Snowballs Recipe)?

Cacao Coconut Snowballs Healthy Snack Recipe
(Dairy-free, Gluten-free, Paleo, No refined sugar)
Sweetened with dates for crash-free energy you can take on your hike or bike ride!

Did You Know? Dates are great for weening yourself off of refined sugars as they are natural and satisfy the sweet tooth!…

Too much sugar breaks down collagen (causing wrinkles and other issues With your tissues).

Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Pecans*
16 Dates, Whole, pitted*
1/2 Cup Coconut, shredded, unsweetened
1 Tablespoon Coconut oil, unrefined*
1 1/2 Tablespoons Cacao powder*
1 pinch kosher salt
1 Tablespoon Water

Directions:
1. Place all pecans in food processor and pulse til chopped.
2. Place half of coconut in small bowl. Set aside.
3. Add the remaining ingredients to food processor and run until mixed and combined well.
4. Spoon out mixture, rolling into balls.
5. Coat each ball in other half of coconut shreds.
6. Place onto parchment paper, on baking sheet and refrigerate for thirty minutes or until hardened.
7. Store in the fridge in an airtight container or plastic bag for up to a week.

 

*Nut Allergy? Replace Pecans with Sunflower seeds.

 

*I buy unrefined Coconut oil at Costco. This supply will last you a while.

Health tip: “Unrefined” is what you want for consumption, as it has not had all the goodness cooked out of it.

 

*I buy medjool dates at Costco. These dates are superior to others for making desserts (sweeter, Caramel-like taste). They are a much better deal there. Medjool dates can be spendy so if you need a lot, it’s worth a trip there.

 

Health tip: Dates are low on glycemic index so they won’t spike blood sugar like refined sugar does.

Also dates are a good fiber source which helps metabolize carbohydrates.

Keep them in the fridge, once opened (they keep for about a week to 10 days).

 

*I buy organic, raw cacao powder from Costco as it is a good buy there.
Health tip: Cacao is different from Cocoa as it has not had the antioxidants processed/cooked out of it. It has a fair amount of Magnesium which is important for energy, metabolism, mood and for keeping pretty much everything running smoothly in the body.

Homemade Bone Stock (Anoka Pain and Women’s Health)

Make Your Own Homemade Bone Stock!

Why Bone Stock?

Good way to soak up the vital minerals we need and are most likely deficient in somewhat- in order to help keep a balanced gut! When the gut is balanced, so is our skin, our mood and ultimately, our life! I could write 40 pages here!!

Making Your Own Bone Stock:

This is not difficult. Simply boil left-over bones from chicken or turkey in a large pot with plenty of water. Alternatively you may use a crock pot. Just be sure to keep an eye on it so it does not boil over or run dry (may need to add water throughout the day). Hint: this is a good small project to work on when you have time, perhaps one Sunday per month when you plan to be home. Try to use organic poultry and if possible visit the farm yourself to be sure the birds are free roaming for realsies.

It takes some people days to make this (I limit it to one). Hint: Add 1 Tablespoon white vinegar to speed-up the time. Vinegar acts to help pull out minerals from the bones more quickly. If you want to continue cooking multiple days, have at it. I just do not choose to spend more time on it than one day per month. 

Ewe! What’s that Gel Stuff?

You will notice some gelatinous substance forming after some time, perhaps even before the stock cools off. This is great news! Keep it. Do NOT throw this gel substance out! Feel free to skim the chicken fat from the top (the light yellow hardened layer that crusts over the surface). Keep the gel-like stuff that looks sorta like the filling to pecan pie! This is great for building collagen in the body-Hello, wrinkle prevention!

Keeping & Storing Stock:
After making my stock, I like to preserve it for the month in order to have a bit of it each day. Some use collagen supplements for beauty and gut health; I use my own homemade version by making and drinking stock almost daily! Anyway, after skimming fat from stock, pour into ice cube trays and place in freezer until frozen solid. Then, get freezer bags ready and dump the stock cubes into the freezer bags. Hint: I like to use a good brand, Gallon size (I make a lot) and I double bag them to avoid freezer burn).

Do NOT Throw Out Left-over Stock!

I used to get so sad when I couldn’t eat enough of the stock and the gelatin in time and actually used to throw it out because otherwise it would go bad. Not anymore! I also used to throw out the gelatin part because I thought, “Ewe! Gross! Fatty!” I actually thought it would make me fat! ha-ha. Since I don’t have a time machine to go back to my twenties and most of my thirties and eat better, I choose to do the best I can now with my awareness. That’s really all any of us can expect from ourselves. Mindfulness, anyone? 

How to Use Stock Almost Daily:

So, how to eat, drink the stock each day or almost every day? Well, I like to sip about 1/2 Cup every other morning during the winter and sip it like tea in the morning-very nourishing-just like chicken soup mom used to make (or pretend it is if your mom didn’t actually make it)!

Add it to soups, stews, chili, stir-fry by adding in a few cubes with the other liquid.

Tip: For those patients of mine who will not be compliant to make this and need collagen for gut issues, there are collagen flakes supplements which can get spendy real quick. I used to use them and now opt for the stock since my preference is to get my stuff from the most natural food source possible (for the most part-I do live in the modern world, too). For those who won’t be compliant to make the stock and have joint pain issues, Glucosamine- Chondroitin is an effective supplement for most people with chronic joint pain, works quickly (3-6 weeks) and is fairly reasonable, price-wise. I like to use a liquid version from a high quality brand that also has MSM, a valuable supplement that was widely used in the 90’s and unfortunately is not oft spoken of anymore as most of us are on to the next best superfood that will save us from everything, i.e., acai berry, coconut oil, avocado, etc. These are all valuable, though there is a time and place-and limit and effectiveness for the use of each. If your body has experienced physical trauma, i.e., auto injury as mine has, you may be like me and opt to use both homemade stock and Glucosamine supplementation. Whatever works for you as an individual. Whatever you will be compliant with works. Go easy on yourself and do whatever your budget of time and wallet can handle right now. Life is a journey, remember?

Glucosamine for Dogs:Glucosamine Chondroitin is not just for humans! It can be invaluable to use for large breed dogs prone to arthritis or rescue dogs (like ours) that have been physically abused and shot (there will be arthritis eventually due to past joint damage). Hint: If your older (once energetic) dog seems “lazy” or selective about how often he/she will use stairs, it is very possible there is a lot of pain with movement. Usually dogs respond by jumping up again or moving more quickly within 3-6 weeks after taking a Glucosamine-Chondroitin supplement made for dogs. I give Bioflexa III made by a brand called Vetra to our dog. This is somewhat expensive, I’ll admit. A friend of mine swears by Glycoflex for her dog and this Glucosamine is less expensive. I also add the stock to the dog’s food about once per week. 

Hint: Check with your dog’s vet for a good doggy brand (don’t give you doggy supplements meant for humans). 

When Not to use Bone Stock?

Obviously any time your doctor advises against bone stock you should avoid it. One example of when to avoid is during a Histamine response in the body as the body is on hyper-vigilant alert and this could be seen at that time by your body as foe, not friend. It is always best in these situations to check with a specialist before adding stock or anything back into the diet.

Qi Deficiency Headaches & How to Avoid These Headaches (Pain and Women’s Health in Anoka)

What is a Qi Deficiency-type Headache and How Can You Avoid This Common Headache-type?

Licensed Acupuncturists treat headaches everyday because, well because acupuncture is good at treating headaches and other pain issues. 

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, a Qi Deficiency-type headache is….

The symptoms of a Qi Deficiency Headache are usually a dull pain in the head which lingers, brought on by physical activity or fatigue. If the Qi Deficiency pattern of disease continues un-checked, it usually progresses into a Blood Deficiency-type Headache (to be explained in a future post)

Is Your Headache a Tension Headache?-Read Here to Find Out

Eat & Rest 

Qi Deficiency Headaches can be avoided by eating regular meals on time and taking the time to rest properly. Each individual is different and one must learn in his or her life what works best, i.e., eating every two hours versus every four hours or taking time every day to rest or sleep.

Avoid Stress when possible. Try a daily practice of Mindfulness Meditation if you are dealing with stress.

Read About Mindfulness Meditation Here.

Of course, always be sure to drink enough water! You may have to drag around a water vessel to remember to refill it in order to actually maintain hydration throughout the day. I am a somewhat visual learner and, knowing this about myself I have learned some tricks like this that have really made an impact on my quality of life!

  • Eat regular meals
  • Get enough Sleep/ Rest
  • Avoid Stress
  • Stay Hydrated

 

Populations Prone to Qi Deficiency Headaches:

We are all different. Some of us have had physical trauma which can tap out our energy reserves faster than others who haven’t, maybe been in a major auto collision or had a major debilitating injury or illness which took time to recover from. We may be prone to becoming more easily fatigued and getting headaches than, say someone who has not experienced these energy-zapping situations. Qi Def. Headaches are more common among older people who are more easily fatigued, those who have had their Qi compromised more by injury or illness, and of course those who constantly burn the candle at both ends!

  • Elderly
  • Physical Trauma History
  • Major Disease/ Illness History
  • Prone to Easily Fatigue
  • Irregular Eating
  • Type A-Personality

Look for your own patterns with your headaches. If you notice headaches do not bother you on the days when you eat more frequently, try to continue eating at that frequency. Perhaps you can keep some raw nuts or a hard-boiled egg with you in a cooler or a nearby refrigerator or in your car (most of the year-if your car is in Minnesota)! 

Give Yourself a Break!

It can be hard on the ego for those of us who are movers & shakers and do not want to take the time to rest. I remind my patients-especially women- that YOU must put the oxygen mask on YOURSELF FIRST. If you are going to be any use to anyone else, you must take time for your own self-care. It is a requirement. Your body, mind and HEAD will all thank you! Plus, you will be more effective at getting the important stuff done in your life when you are feeling at the top of your game-by staying well-rested and nourished!

Acupuncture for Fibromyalgia (Anoka Pain and Women’s Health)

Yes! Acupuncture Really helps with Fibromyalgia

What Can Acupuncture Help?

Acupuncture helps the Fibromyalgia patient with aching pain in their muscles and joint pain which often accompanies muscle aches. Acupuncture is good at treating pain, even when the pain comes and goes and moves around from place to place.  Acupuncture is good at treating many types of pain, whether due to injury, genetics, congenital (born with), a diagnosed disease or syndrome or for unknown cause.

  • Pain
  • Fatigue
  • Low Mood

Read How Acupuncture Helps Pain in General Here

Acupuncture can also help with low energy, fatigue and low mood which is often a part of the pain syndrome called Fibromyalgia.

Acupuncture helps muscle pain and joint pain. Many patients with R.A. get relief with acupuncture for their joint pain.

Read How Acupuncture Can Help Joint Pain Here

Acupuncture helps relieve pain and improve mood and energy by helping your body to balance itself. So, the needles do about 20% of the work while your body does the other 80%. Isn’t the body a miraculous thing? It truly wants to get better. Acupuncture can help your body get there. Acupuncture does not cure Fibromyalgia, though it can help you on on your journey of wellness to enjoy a smoother ride with less bumps of aches and pains. 

Acupuncture Improves Quality of Life!

Patients come to appointments more frequently at first, then appointments are spread out further and further over time with the same outcome of decreased pain and increased energy and mood. This is because acupuncture builds up within your body with each treatment. Usually patients will come in once or twice per week at first and end up coming in once per month or even once every eight weeks with the same sustained relief that once lasted a few days!

Many find they are able get more done in their day and are able to be more socially active with the added energy and decreased pain after acupuncture treatments! Some patients are happy to finally be able to attend baseball games which they were unable to endure before acupuncture. Others can do hours of gardening or complete their daily household tasks without needing to rest or nap. Many patients have tapered down to taking less daily pain medications and some have even stopped taking their pain medications (under doctor supervision) since having acupuncture treatment.

  • More Physical Activity
  • Increased Social Activity
  • Same Results, Less treatments over time

Acupuncture Reduces Pain of Cluster Headaches (Anoka Pain and Women’s Health)!

Yes! Acupuncture Can Really Help Relieve the Severe Pain of Cluster Headaches!

What are Cluster Headaches?

There is not a lot of information or help out there for Cluster Headaches. Unfortunately many, including doctors do not understand the severity of these headache types and can be prone to categorize them as “migraines.” Well, cluster headaches are more like migraines on steroids! Extreme and sudden pain occurs with cluster headaches and often patients end up in the E.R. the first time they get one for this reason. It is referred to as the “Suicide” headaches due to the extreme pain causing a desire to die!

Who Gets Cluster Headaches?

Less than 1% of the population gets Cluster headaches. It occurs more often in male than female. There is some genetic correlation.

  • <1% of Population

Yes! Acupuncture Relieves Pregnancy Nausea (Anoka Pain and Women’s Health)

Suffering with Nausea During Your 1st Trimester of Pregnancy?  You NEED Acupuncture!

(Aleesha D Acupuncture also helps Patients Suffering Nausea Due to Cancer Treatments)!

Read How Acupuncture Helps Nausea and Other Side Effects Due to Chemotherapy Here

Why Get Acupuncture for Nausea:

  • Relief of Nausea/ Vomit
  • Improved Appetite
  • Improved Energy
  • Improved Mood
  • Improved Sleep

Nausea makes it difficult to eat regularly and to choose nutrient-rich foods. Just like when we suffer with the flu, we just try to eat a small bite of bland, easy-to-digest snack foods like crackers. This is not the way to feed a pregnancy! Your body needs EXTRA food with even MORE NUTRITION than ever before!

This is your body’s #1 job now.

Acupuncture is also very useful for improving overall energy, mood and sleep, all of which are decreased during pregnancy!

Acupuncture Treats Facial Wrinkles, too.

Other Tools in Your Acupuncturist’s Tool Box for Nausea:

  • Pressure point beads applied to wrists to take home
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Food Therapy
  • Lifestyle Recommendations (based on individual patient intake)

Some licensed acupuncturists will give beads to wear home over the wrists for a sort-of extended treatment. The patient suffering with symptoms of nausea is usually pretty grateful for this as it allows for a steady appetite and better ability to function with everyday tasks.

Some foods/ teas/ herbs may be recommended for nausea to supplement with or to avoid during the first trimester.

(Many find either Ginger tea or Peppermint tea is helpful to relieve Nausea)

Lifestyle recommendations may be made by your acupuncturist, in addition to diet recommendations.

Remember, your body is doing A LOT right now!

Respect your body and yourself. Do NOT over do it.

Aleesha D Acupuncture will help you get through morning sickness during the first trimester and beyond. Acupuncture continues to be good during pregnancy and afterward for improving your body’s overall Qi. This is because during pregnancy, the body’s Qi (Energy) becomes stagnated. Pregnant patients feeling Qi Stagnation often complain of feeling tired and fatigue which is worse with stress and inactivity.

Well, Acupuncture DOES Help Lower Stress & Fatigue!

Common Symptoms of Qi Stagnation:

  • Irritability/ Mood swings
  • Bitter taste
  • Fatigue

his is because acupuncture can help your body to balance itself, hormonally.

 

Read 4 Ways Acupuncture Helps Hot Flashes & Night Sweats Here

 

Acupuncture signals the body to release pain and stress-relieving hormones, including neurotransmitters (feel-good hormones). This explains why acupuncture is so commonly used by those with Anxiety and Mild to Moderate Depression.

Read more on the specific hormones and chemicals affected by acupuncture for hot flashes here.

Read How Acupuncture Helps Depression Here

Fluctuations are natural during changes in hormone levels in our lives; during puberty, pregnancy, nursing (breast-feeding), peri-menopause, menopause and even post-menopause. Often times stress worsens these hormonal changes, making the transition more difficult and stressful than it needs to be. Thyroid Disease or thyroid imbalance can worsen during sudden hormonal changes within the body. Acupuncture can help the body balance itself during this time, making for a more harmonious transition.
