Thyroid Reset – 4 Ways to Get Your Thyroid Back on Track

Ready to do something about your thyroid problem but unsure of where to start?

Enter the 10-day thyroid reset:

A complete done-for-you 10-day plan created by me (a thyroid expert) designed to help bring your thyroid back to optimal function to provide you with more energy, faster weight loss, and better thyroid health.

Is this guaranteed to cure your thyroid problem in 10 days or less?

Absolutely not.

But…

It is the first place I would start if I had a thyroid problem and it will definitely help you feel better… or your money back! Just kidding, it’s free. But, still, it works.

Ready to get started? Here’s an overview of what your next 10 days will look like:

Thyroid Reset Overview

I’ve estimated that about 80-90% of thyroid patients can dramatically improve their symptoms by simply making a few tweaks to the way they live their lives.

The key here is that some changes are far more impactful than others and most thyroid patients have no idea which ones work and which ones don’t.

The good news is, you don’t have to worry about that if you follow these rules:

Your diet for the next 10 days:

• Follow the perfect thyroid diet perfectly for 10 days (meals outlined below)
• These 4 meals were crafted to include thyroid-supporting superfoods that are nutrient-dense and mineral-rich.

Your exercise routine for the next 10 days:

• 3x sessions of zone two training per week for 30 minutes
• 10,000 steps per day minimum

Your supplement routine for the next 10 days:

• Thyroid Glandular+ (1-2 capsules per day) – Provides animal thyroid gland powder which includes hormones, prohormones, and enzymes that support thyroid function.
• T3 Conversion Booster (2 capsules per day) -Naturally helps your body produce more T3 thyroid hormone.
• Essential T2 (1 capsule per day) – Provides a source of bio-identical T2 thyroid hormone.
• Thyroid B Complex (1 capsule per day) – Provides pre-methylated and pre-activated B vitamins for energy and metabolism support.

Your detox routine for the next 10 days:

• Actively avoid endocrine-disrupting chemicals
• Have at least one deep sweat each week
• Drink 64 ounces of filtered water per day

Rules:

• Follow the guidelines exactly as outlined. If you miss a day, or meal, or otherwise mess up, your 10-day count restarts.
• No cheating (no cheat meals or missed days)
• Use every therapy as outlined. If you alter the program in any way then you risk not getting the results you want.

#2. Your Exercise Routine

Exercise is one of those things that you’re either undervaluing or overvaluing.

My experience is that most thyroid patients underestimate the benefits of exercise and are simply not taking advantage of it.

But there are always a select few who try to brute force their way into perfect health with exercise as well.

Regardless of where you fit, here’s what you need to know:

For thyroid patients, exercise is non-negotiable.

Not only does it provide general benefits to your entire health, it has a direct boosting effect on thyroid function.

And this benefit is independent of the effects it has on muscle growth which further enhances thyroid function.

Combine these with the general benefits that it applies to sleep and mood and it’s a no-brainer for supporting your thyroid.

The thing you have to remember about exercise is that it’s very much a Goldilocks type of treatment.

Too much and you can actually make your thyroid worse.

Too little and you really just don’t get much benefit.

You need the exact right amount.

It just so happens that this exact right amount falls into the category of zone 2 training.

Zone 2 training is any exercise that brings your heart rate to 50-70% of your maximum.

All you have to do is pick any exercise that gets your heart rate to this level and keep it there for 30 minutes because that’s where the magic happens.

Any exercise will do, but I’ll give you one of my favorites:

I call it the 3/15/30 treadmill workout.

You walk on a treadmill at 3 miles per hour on a 15% incline for 30 minutes.

This is probably the easiest way to get yourself into this zone and it’s available to almost everybody regardless of their fitness level.

And if that is too intense for you, you can always adjust down the incline or your speed.

For instance:

2.5 miles per hour at a 12% incline for 30 minutes or whatever you need.

This exact workout should be done 3 times per week for a total of 90 thyroid-enhancing minutes.

On top of this, you’ll also need to stay active with low-intensity training:

Low-Intensity Interval Training

Why does it matter? Well, for starters, research has shown that 1 hour of walking per day is enough to reduce your risk of ​premature death by 39%.

But let’s assume you don’t care about premature death, it also has a huge impact on your metabolism as well.  

A simple brisk walk at the end of the day can help you burn an extra 150 calories per day, which, amounts to over 1,500 calories over the course of 10 this 10-day thyroid reset.

And it’s for this reason that I’ve included the 10,000 steps per day requirement.

It doesn’t matter if you get the majority of those steps at once or if you get them slowly throughout the day, just make sure you get at least 10,000 steps per day.

#3. Your Supplement Routine

Are supplements really, really required for this 10-day reset?

Yes, and I’ll tell you why:

Aside from the fact that many thyroid patients are deficient in thyroid-supporting nutrients, they also do one very important thing…

They help you get results faster.

And getting results faster builds momentum. And building momentum builds more results. And the cycle continues until you end up where you want to be.

Are they technically required for you to feel better? No, but they can shave weeks to months off that journey, and that matters.

Here are the supplements I recommend for this 10-day reset and why:

Thyroid Glandular+

Thyroid glandulars are among the strongest over-the-counter supplements available to thyroid patients because they contain hormones, prohormones, and enzymes found in the animal thyroid gland.

Not only does your thyroid gland use these building blocks to create thyroid hormone, you also get a small amount of actual thyroid hormone that can be used right away.

T3 Conversion Booster

T3 Conversion Booster contains natural ingredients that help your body create more T3 thyroid hormone.

T3 is the strongest and most powerful thyroid hormone in the body and you can essentially brute force its creation with the right ingredients.

More T3 means that your thyroid will more effectively do its job and you’ll feel better in the process.

Essential T2 or T2 Cream

Both of these supplements contain the only thyroid hormone that is available over the counter:

T2 thyroid hormone as 3,5 diiodo-l-thyronine.

T2 is very much a thyroid hormone, much like T4 or T3, but its actions are specific to fat cells, metabolism, liver cells, and muscle cells.

It also appears to complement the function of T3 at the cellular receptor by enhancing binding and/or activation.

You can get T2 in capsule form or in cream form (it’s the only thyroid hormone available in cream form).

Thyroid B Complex

#4. Your Detox Routine

Detoxing doesn’t just refer to chemicals and toxins (though I will teach you how to do this!), but it also refers to removing negative thoughts and emotions which have a huge impact on your overall health.

​Did you know there is a magic number of happy emotions you need to have for every negative emotion to really thrive in life? 

The answer is 3:1.

You need to have three positive emotions for every negative emotion. ​

The point is:

Toxic emotions, toxic chemicals, toxic behaviors, whatever it is, they matter and they have a negative impact on your health.

If you don’t remove these toxins from your body you will NOT optimize your health. ​

​Detoxing Endocrine Disruptors and Chemicals

​Whether you realize this or not, your body comes into contact with chemicals that have to be eliminated by your liver on a DAILY basis. 

What’s worse is that many of these chemicals ​have been shown to negatively impact hormone levels by blocking the effect of hormones at the cellular level or by mimicking the actions of hormones in your body. 

These chemicals are known as Endocrine Disruptors and they may be seriously impacting your thyroid function. ​

In fact…

The Endocrine Society recently published a paper (25) outlining the list of chemicals that are known endocrine disruptors.

The scary part is that they recognize in their paper that these chemicals alter thyroid function at the cellular level (causing tissue-level hypothyroidism) lowering free T3 levels, but the chemicals don’t impact TSH levels. 

This means that if your doctor is only ordering TSH and Free T4 then they are not getting a complete picture of your thyroid function. ​

​The main bad guys you want to avoid include:

• Bisphenol A
• Phthalates
• Pesticides
• Persistent Organic Pollutants (Polychlorinated biphenyls) 
• Polybrominated Diethyl Ethers

​Use these tips to ensure you don’t even come into contact with these chemicals: 

• Stop touching Receipts (they contain high levels of bisphenol-A)
• Drink out of glass cups or containers
• Drink filtered water ONLY (any filter is better than no filter)
• Avoid anything made of plastic
• Say no to hand-me-down plastic toys
• Eat organic foods and grass-fed meats
• Avoid anything with the word ‘Fragrance’ or ‘Parfum’
• Check your cosmetics for Chemicals (use the Skin Deep application from EWG)
