5. Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is very common in the United States. It is treatable by natural and traditional medical practices. There are about 3 million cases per year in the US alone. The prescription drug (generic) levothyroxine (brand name Synthroid) is often used to treat it by medical professionals. It is an MD (medical doctor) written prescription that can be filled and picked up at nearly any pharmacy.
Health modifications can be done to improve the condition, including diet and exercise improvements. This is when the thyroid is under-active, not producing enough of its hormone to support the body’s processes. This affects an individual’s metabolism. Metabolism affects heartbeat and internal temperature. Therefore, circulation (blood flow) and temperature are affected immensely, leading to almost certain cold feet condition.
Testing for hypothyroidism is a very simple blood test. Consulting with your doctor or clinic is the fastest way to know for sure if you have this condition.
