The New Year is in full swing and by now, no doubt you have succeeded in some resolutions and some, well, may have gotten the best of you in the first few weeks of this year.  Reaffirm that this is going to be the BEST YEAR EVER – join me and three other dynamic speakers as we give you tips on how to seize the reigns and take control of your health and well being!  January 27th is a very special event, the second article below tells you all about this event and how you can make 2011 Your Best Year Ever!

Sub-clinical Hypothyroidism

January is Thyroid Awareness Month! The thyroid gland is one of the largest glands in the endocrine system and it is mainly responsible for regulating your metabolism. Sub-clinical hypothyroidism is a condition where the pituitary gland produces extra amounts of TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) to stimulate the thyroid to maintain a normal level of thyroid hormones.  A patient at this stage may or may not experience symptoms of hypothyroidism (fatigue, weakness, weight gain, dry hair & skin, hair loss, cold intolerance to name a few).  Eventually, if this situation is left untreated, the patient will transition from sub-clinical hypothyroidism to hypothyroidism.

Naturopathic Doctors believe that TSH levels above 2 can point towards sub-clinical hypothyroidism.  Complete testing along with a thorough initial visit can help with a proper diagnosis of this condition.  A person with normal levels of thyroid hormones may not feel optimally and may need thyroid supportive nutrients or hormones to help them feel normal.  Treatment can prevent further worsening and risks to overall health.  Untreated subclinical hypothyroidism may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Make 2011 Your Best Year Ever!

The names below may be familiar to you – they are three of East Bay top experts in their fields (they are real local celebrities), and they will all be speaking, along with me, at “How To Make 2011 Your Best Year Ever!”.

Anna Dornier: Anna is a certified fitness trainer who went through a physical, weight loss transformation herself. She teaches her clients practical, long-term lifestyle solutions to get healthy and stay fit for the rest of their lives because she has first-hand experience of the issues her clients deal with on a day to day basis with regards to fat loss and nutrition.

Lauren Masi, MPT:  Lauren combines manual therapy, exercise, wellness, and postural and prevention education into her treatment plans tailored to each individual. She can teach you some of the ways you can take care of yourself and become injury free or avoid injuries through the techniques she will discuss at the event.

Dr. Larry Callaway, D. C.: Dr. Callaway only delivers a specific chiropractic adjustment only when nervous system dysfunction is present. He will show you exactly how to improve your health and wellness through your nervous system.

All three of these East Bay health, fitness and beauty/personal care experts are joining me at the event to share their inside trade secrets with you. And we’re all doing it to raise money for Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano.
