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
• Drink at least 64 ounces of filtered water each day
• Have at least one deep sweat each week
• Take a detox bath 2-3x each week

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.

The result? A boost to thyroid function leads to more energy, more ambition, and a slight boost to metabolism making everything else you need to do a little bit easier.

T3 Conversion Booster

Second, we have T3 Conversion Booster.

This particular supplement contains a combination of ingredients designed to help your body create more of the most powerful thyroid hormone known as T3 through the process of peripheral thyroid conversion.

While thyroid glandulars provide direct support to the thyroid gland, T3 Conversion Booster helps the cells in your peripheral tissues get the thyroid hormone that they need.

This is critical because T3 is the thyroid hormone that activates nuclear receptors in your cells which provides all of the benefits of thyroid hormone.

Essential T2 or T2 Cream

Thyroid Glandular+ provides the thyroid hormones, T3 Conversion Booster helps you create more T3, and Essential provides you with a bio-identical source of the most biologically active form of T2 thyroid hormone.

Both Essential T2 and T2 Cream contain 3,5 diiodo-l-thyronine, also known as T2 thyroid hormone, which is the only thyroid hormone available over the counter.

Even though you may have never heard about T2 before, it’s still very much a thyroid hormone, much like T4 or T3, but its actions are specific to fat cells, metabolism, liver cells, and muscle cells.

We are learning more and more about T2, but, from what we do know, it appears to complement the function of T3 at the cellular receptor by enhancing nuclear binding.

So not only does T2 provide its own benefits, it also supports the function of other thyroid hormones.

For purposes of this reset, you can get T2 in capsule form or in cream form (it’s worth pointing out that it’s the only thyroid hormone available in cream form).

Because the healthy body produces T2, I believe it’s essential to take T2 to mimic this healthy thyroid hormone production in anyone with a known or suspected thyroid problem.

Thyroid B Complex

To complement these other thyroid-supporting supplements, we have Thyroid B Complex.

This supplement includes a combination of pre-methylated and pre-activated B vitamins (along with folate and choline) designed to support energy production, metabolism, and adrenal health.

Many thyroid patients are lacking in B vitamins which leads to symptoms like depression and fatigue.

It’s already difficult enough to make healthy choices without these added symptoms, so Thyroid B Complex is included here to fight these very symptoms.

Sustained and long-lasting energy is going to be needed if you are going to cook your meals and exercise regularly over the next 10 days and there’s no quicker way to obtain these benefits than with a pre-methylated B complex.

#4. Your Detox Routine

One of the fastest ways to get a near-immediate boost to thyroid function is through simple avoidance of certain chemicals.

These chemicals, known as endocrine-disrupting chemicals, are compounds that you and I come into contact with on a daily basis.

For most people, they aren’t really a big deal because exposure to them is limited to an amount that the liver can easily take care of.

But if you have an existing thyroid problem, things are different.

These chemicals and compounds can disrupt thyroid function at the cellular level and have the potential to make thyroid function worse.

That’s the bad news.

The good news is that it’s both incredibly easy to avoid these compounds, and eliminate them, which provides an almost near-immediate boost to thyroid function.

It’s for this reason that this detox section was added to this 10-day reset.

This isn’t some woo-woo set of recommendations that you have to follow either, all you need to do is take advantage of existing physiologic processes in your body that have been designed to take care of these compounds.

Your job is two-fold:

Augment and avoid.

1. Augment – by doing some simple things like eating healthy and drinking enough water you can help your body eliminate harmful compounds through your urine and stool.
2. Avoid – By avoiding your exposure to these compounds you will limit the pressure put on the elimination systems in your body.

It sounds complicated, but it’s really not.

Here’s what you need to do for the next 10 days:

As long as you follow each of the recommendations listed above (diet and exercise), you will hit most of these with ease.

That said, it’s still worth pointing out why they are important and how they help:

• Drink at least 64 ounces of filtered water each day (not from a plastic container!) – This will help support the elimination of these compounds through your kidneys and urine.
• Sweat as often as possible, especially when working out – Your body eliminates compounds through your sweat. The more you sweat, the more you will detox. To facilitate this process, make sure you are working out with sufficient intensity to get a deep sweat. Thyroid patients who are underrated are less prone to sweating which is why this one is very important.
• Move your body to enhance lymphatic flow – Your lymphatic system eliminates cellular waste and can be increased with daily movement and regular exercise (if you exercise as recommended above then you don’t need to worry about this).
• Eat foods that activate liver enzymes – That means eating plenty of cruciferous vegetables, foods with high sulfur content, and plenty of fiber. If you follow the meals above, you won’t need to think twice about this.

On top of these, you’ll also want to practice some simple avoidance:

• Stop touching receipts or thermal paper of any kind (they contain bisphenol-a)
• Drink out of glass cups or containers (avoid plastic of any kind)
• Eat the highest quality food you can afford (non-GMO, organic, grass-fed, wild-caught, etc.)
• Check your cosmetics for chemicals (use clean brands or check the ingredient list of your existing cosmetics against the EWG database)
• Avoid microwaving your food in plastic containers
• Store your food in glass containers (not plastic containers)
• Use common sense and limit your exposure to chemicals that have an obviously noxious smell, feel, or taste (if you clean your bathroom with chemicals, ventilate the area and don’t linger, etc.).
• Avoid cooking with non-stick pans

The final thing you’ll want to do is take a detox bath at least two to three times each week.

A detox bath is a simple way to encourage your body to sweat, absorb essential thyroid-supporting nutrients, and help your body relax.

Here’s what you need:

• A bathtub filled with hot water (as hot as you can tolerate) – The goal here is to heat up your body and encourage sweating (sweating is an excellent way to help your body detox).
• 1-2 cups of Epsom Salt – Epsom salt contains magnesium sulfate which will be absorbed through your skin throughout the bath. Magnesium has a calming effect on your body as well as thyroid-boosting properties.
• 1/2 to 1 cup of baking soda – Baking soda has cleansing and soothing properties for the skin thereby reducing stimulation to your nervous system (an excellent way to reduce stress and support adrenal function).
• 15-20 drops of lavender essential oil – Lavender essential oil has a calming effect on the body and may help balance cortisol levels.
• A big towel to wrap yourself in afterward – This is to encourage your body to sweat afterward.
• Optional: dry brush and/or moisturizer for after – Dry brushing supports skin exfoliation, lymphatic flow, and stress reduction. Moisturizing has a similar effect, but not to the same degree. If you have access to either, use them!

Simply put hot water into your bath, mix the ingredients together, and hop in for 20-40 minutes and you’ll provide nourishing benefits to your thyroid and adrenals.

Repeat 2-3 times per week throughout this 10-day reset.

Final Thoughts

Do these things for 10 days and you will be well on your way to improving your thyroid.

But there’s really no reason to stop at 10 days, you can continue using these treatments indefinitely.

The longer you use them, the better you will feel.

It’s that simple.
