The thyroid gland and mitochondria

"The Thyroid Gland and Mitochondria" - Helena Rooth Svensson

Practical and clear about the fact that the proper interaction of the thyroid gland and mitochondria is crucial for metabolism in the human body, and the disturbed interaction between them often contributes to the spread of diseases such as diabetes, Hashimoto's disease or leads to chronic fatigue. syndrome and burnout.

You will learn:

about the latest findings on the importance of thyroid hormones and mitochondria for the development of the so-called metabolic syndrome, hypothyroidism and cardiovascular diseases,
about the causes of modern lifestyle diseases, age-related diseases and neurodegenerative diseases as a result of the extension of our average life expectancy without adequate adaptation of the hormonal system to the changed conditions,
about the importance of hormones for the development, growth, maturation, reproduction of the fetus and their importance for maintaining body functions.

Review by Tore Scherstén, Professor Emeritus

Doctors usually base the diagnosis of the disease on a synthesis of the symptoms described by the patient, the results of objective examinations and objective laboratory tests of blood or tissue, and imaging tests, such as X-rays or ultrasounds. […]

If there is no relationship between symptoms and objective signs, often there is no diagnosis and the patient does not receive adequate treatment. This often results in the physician assuming that the patient's experiences have a psychological basis and treating them, most often by prescribing psychotropic drugs.

Hypothyroidism is a common condition that can be detected through blood tests. An even more common phenomenon that is not revealed by blood tests is the lack of thyroid hormone function in the cells. This has consequences for the cells' mitochondria, leading to reduced energy production.

Lack of energy production affects many bodily functions and, in addition to leading to faster aging, has a detrimental effect on our health. […]

In her book, Helena Rooth Svensson presents the mechanisms of disease development that are caused by reduced energy production in cells.

About the book:

The rapid increase in the number of cases of so-called lifestyle diseases is not solely caused by our modern lifestyle. One of the lesser-known but very important reasons for this phenomenon is the lengthening of the average human life span and the progressive deterioration of mitochondria and weakening of thyroid activity that accompany the natural aging processes.
Looking for new possibilities to prevent and treat chronic multi-system diseases, the main source of which are energy deficiencies in the body, in her book "Thyroid and Mitochondria" Helena Rooth Svensson analyzes in detail the role of mitochondria and thyroid hormones: T4 and T3, as well as their close interaction.
Disturbances of biochemical processes at the cellular level are the source of many diseases, a perfect example of which is the disruption of the mutual interaction of the thyroid gland and cellular power plants, which leads to the appearance of various clinical symptoms in our body.
Considered the gold standard in the diagnosis of thyroid disorders, the value of the TSH parameter is actually not sufficient to determine the real state of thyroid hormones and the efficiency of our metabolism, which is confirmed both by various scientific studies and by medical practice.

About the author:

Helena Rooth Svensson is a Swedish physician, pain therapist and medical evaluator who has been involved for years in promoting the innovative therapeutic methods offered by mitochondrial medicine and modern endocrine therapy. While working on the book, the author relied not only on the results of the latest scientific research, but especially on many years of experience working with her own patients, whose well-being always comes first.
