I think one of the worst symptoms I ever experienced with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism, other than the normal ones, which are like weight gain, low energy, body aches, is brain fog. The brain fog I used to experience when my thyroid levels were low was crazy. Like, someone would be talking to me and I fully couldn't understand what they were saying. Like,

I could not formulate their words into a sentence and I'd just be like, huh? And I felt stupid. Like I just couldn't think straight and it was getting really hard to do my job. And in those moments of like where I couldn't compute anything, I would start to get anxiety because I was like, am I having a stroke? I was, that was how confused I was. And I remember when

I finally got my thyroid levels tested and I was like, oh, this all makes so much sense because thyroid hormones are essential for cellular metabolism. If you do not have enough, your cognitive function can literally decline. So that's why it's always important to have enough thyroid hormone in the body. That's why someone like me who doesn't use thyroid medication anymore,

I still monitor my thyroid levels and I will supplement with a glandular over-the-counter natural desiccated thyroid that has T3, T4 in it if my levels aren't looking good because I'm not, I'm never going to ignore that problem anymore, okay? It's not good to ignore those problems. Your body needs thyroid hormones to function at its best. So the healthier your thyroid levels look,

the healthier your thyroid is functioning, the less symptoms you will have. And if you're experiencing really bad brain fog, maybe you need to look at your T3 levels, reassess the diet, and are you getting enough sleep?
