Hypothyroidism and Stress: How Patterns of Worry and Rumination Impact Thyroid Function

Welcome to the Heal Your Thyroid podcast with Madeleine Lowry, a neural retraining specialist and founder of Twin Cities Neural Retraining. In this episode, Madeleine delves into the unrecognized stressors that contribute to chronic health issues, including low thyroid function and autoimmunity. She discusses how mental patterns like worry and rumination can exacerbate thyroid symptoms, even on hormone replacement therapy, by adding to an accumulation of subconscious stress.

Madeleine describes two levels of stress: consciously-known stress from daily life, and the hidden stress from past traumas and subconscious patterns. She highlights the importance of spending more time in the parasympathetic mode of the autonomic nervous system to promote healing and reducing the stress response.

Listeners will gain insights into how subconscious programming, often rooted in trauma, manifests as patterns of worry and rumination, impacting overall health. Madeleine offers hope and solutions through advanced neural retraining techniques, encouraging self-awareness, and the redirection of mental focus to alleviate these stressors.
