Insulin Resistance, Thyroid, Adrenals or something else?
-
Hello... i need your help....I told a friend of mine to get some tests done, and although, let's say, her cholesterol is very high and her triglycerides are at 162, she also has many issues with anxiety, panic attacks, etc.
But her TSH is 0.54... So, is the anxiety issue coming from the adrenals or from insulin resistance? Am I missing something?Fasting Blood Sugar 96
PTH 55.5 pg/ml
Cholesterol. 279. HDL. 51. LDL. 195.6
B12. 273 pg/ml
D. 43.3. ng/ml
HBA1C. 5.2% -

Hi,
- How is he / she eating? Many carbs from pasta, bread, rice at two meals + snacks.
- Does he eat fish or seafood twice a week? if not, does he live near the seaside or in the countryside / mountains?

@LucH Basically, her diet was terrible—she ate erratically and consumed a lot of processed foods and Pufas. I’d say she was undernourished. Now, I’m gradually trying to teach her the pro-metabolic diet.
She also lives in the city and experiences a lot of stress due to work, finances, etc.

For stress:
L-theanine, collagen powder (or bone broth) => Gaba-like effects.
Magnesium bisglycinate (3 x 300 mg)When eating refined carbs and manufactured food we lack enough B1 B2 B3 B8 to assimilate glucose. Specially B1. One part of the problem.
Useful nutrients for the brain: See this video.
Need a B complex. Not a B50 every day. but Ok if RDA.
Or a B50 complex + 100 mg thiamin HCl. Both are required (to avoid inappropriate cell stimulation)
The Art and Science of Mega-Dose Thiamine Lecture: Part 1
EONutrition – Elliot Overton (nutritionist) – Video 1:34:21
This is the first of two lectures I gave to a group of medical/health professionals on the clinical application of high-dose vitamin B1. In this video I outline the basics of how the body uses this nutrient, why deficiency is likely more prevalent than it is conventionally thought to be, and how high doses may be working via different mechanisms to improve chronic health issues.

HDT = High Dose Thiamine
*) The system affected by thiamine deficiency (video 5.55’’)- The brain (CNS)
Nerve transmission (sensory & motor): transmission of information to and from organs - The heart (heart rate and blood flow)
- The digestive system (gut & digestion): Motility, secretion, absorption.
- The brain (CNS)

@LucH Thank you very much for your answer...
Let me understand something... so she isn't hypothyroid or has low adrenals? she just has bad glucose metabolism and B1 deficiency???
She has typical hypothyroid symptoms such as cold intolerance, trouble sleeping etc despite the low tsh...
Also Increased triglycerides do not indicate insulin resistance?
Thank you very much in advance! -

When you lack thiamin (B1) the brain doesn’t function well. So it’s part of the problem. I don’t say all the mentioned problems will disappear but we have to shut the doors / the main causes.
See the link I gave to understand why if you’re not yet convinced.
Afterwards, I’ll read the book of Lynne Farrow and would mind the lack of iodine. Iodine has a huge impact on thyroid. Don’t take iodine before taking selenium (100 mcg) (Se in cure, once every day; afterwards 2x/w).
Book by Lynne FARROW: The Iodine Crisis: What You Don't Know about Iodine Can Wreck your Life. Foreword by Dr. David Brownstein, MD.
For increase triglyceride, I don’t see why. but the problem could be linked as well. Indeed, thyroid is imply in the management of calories and the storage. I cite: Hypothyroidism results in increased cholesterol absorption in the gut and decreased LDL cholesterol clearance, leading to higher LDL cholesterol plasma levels and triglycerides accumulation in the liver.Useful info

3 of halogen elements can have a significant impact on your thyroid hormone production.
Iodine is a major building block to synthesize thyroid hormone (T3 and T4). Iodine can be out-ranked by its bigger brothers—fluorine, chlorine, and bromine. - 3 Common Chemicals That Could Impact Your Thyroid
Fluorine chlorine and bromine.
High doses of Fluoride have been associated with several health concerns. It has the ability to block the iodide transport process in your body’s production of thyroid hormone. This can cause anti-thyroid effects by reducing thyroid hormone production and raising your TSH levels through a negative feedback loop. Higher TSH levels can be indicative of an under-active thyroid, and lead to hypothyroidism. (…)
Chlorine has been shown to lower T4 levels, and suppress T3, both causing anti-thyroid effects. (…)
Bromine, in concentrated numbers, works similar in nature to Fluorine and Chlorine, competing for the same receptors that help to take up iodine for thyroid hormone production. Studies have shown that Bromine can induce alterations in cellular structure and can reduce T4 and T3 levels.
