When your invisible stress finds a way to make itself visible
Most women who come to see me hoping for a non-drug solution have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism or chronic fatigue. What they don't know is that they are unknowingly experiencing a source of stress which has been relegated very far to their subconscious but which one fine day their body finds a way to make more physically visible so that it has a chance of being evacuated.
Indeed, you should know that most people with Hashimoto's disease, hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue syndrome and autoimmunity have a certain degree of adrenal dysfunction in common. This explains why all the treatments that addressed their hypothyroidism, their chronic fatigue or their autoimmunity had no chance of working well in the long term because none of them acted on the root of their problem: chronic stress. In fact, many people are unaware that they are experiencing a form of chronic stress and that the solution to many of their imbalances involves optimizing their adrenal function.
A good example is hypothyroidism.
To situate the problem, let's remember that it is on the proper functioning of the thyroid that our energy level, our mental clarity and the growth of our body depend. The thyroid needs iodine to produce the following hormones: thyrosine (T4) and triiodothyrodine (T3).
When you experience a lot of stress in your life, whether you realize it or not, it monopolizes your adrenals to produce cortisol. However, too high a cortisol level suppresses T4 and T3 conversions. You may also develop thyroid resistance which prevents your T3 from entering and activating its receptors causing symptoms of hypothyroidism. So you can have this type of thyroid disease and thyroid symptoms without actually having developed thyroid disease, but just because your adrenal glands are affected.
How do you know if this applies to you?
The symptoms are always the same:
We feel overwhelmed, irritable, we are not connected to the circadian rhythms which tell us when we will be hungry and able to digest well, or when we will enjoy restful sleep.
In fact, this is where you're tired all the time and you wake up a little groggy, wondering where you are or what you're doing, thinking you'd rather stay in bed all day. You experience brain fog and sluggishness during the day. You may also be irritable right out of bed and feel like everyone around you is moving too slowly and it really gets on your nerves. Usually, you wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble getting back to sleep. However, you sleep 10 to 12 hours per night, but your sleep is not regenerating.
If you don't have the means to test your daily cortisol levels, you can live with this imbalance for a very long time without understanding what is happening to you.
And yet, I find in almost all of my students and patients root causes that keep their bodies stuck in a state of stress. It is this stress that will drain their adrenals and develop into an autoimmune disease or chronic fatigue syndrome.
Of course, we can talk about something very complex and scientific to explain this resistance and its impact on the thyroid, but for me, nothing replaces a lifestyle review, but above all, confirmation that there is stress unconscious and permanent which requires the body to expend prodigious energy to remain unconscious.
Something traumatic that usually happened within the first 7 years of life, sometimes since conception. So yes, if, as is often the case when you cannot be relieved, you are sent to a psychiatrist who tells you "it's all in your head ma'am, you have to calm down", somewhere, he doesn't not wrong. Except that an anti-depressant or any other tranquilizer will never solve your problem, because it will not allow you to uproot the root cause that maintains this chronic stress.
Soothing yourself with sport, yoga or meditation can only do you good... but if you combine it with the essential oils that you need most energetically, you have a chance of lowering your cortisol and above all to bring up the two pleasure hormones that will help you heal your old wounds: dopamine and serotonin.
What to do?
1. Identify if you are experiencing chronic stress with instant means such as muscle testing or the pendulum.
2. Evaluate the intensity of cortisol emission (with the same means)
3. Use an essential oil rich in esters likely to lower cortisol levels and release buried traumatic emotions by massaging on the chest (German chamomile for example)
4. Regularly breathe in an “orgasmic” essential oil, whose scent instantly puts a smile on your face in order to increase your production of dopamine and serotonin. Its action on the hypothalamus and the entire parasympathetic nervous system will trigger a whole regeneration process capable of getting you out of your chronic state.Access to pleasure is too often ignored in anti-stress therapies. I see access to pleasure a bit like a tailor-made mixture of trace elements intended to replace heavy metals within cells. It is necessary to remove what is intoxicating, but at the same time quickly fill this void with something extremely positive, a high vibrational frequency, capable of re-educating unbalanced emotional behavior. Less stress means less fear and anxiety, but also better hormonal, metabolic, emotional and immune balance. If we add more joy, more pleasure and more self-love, we get the perfect solution against physical degeneration.
My advice: empower yourself through the intelligent use of a pendulum, to identify whether you are suffering from ignored trauma and high stress levels. It takes some practice, I know. But I'm used to getting this type of technique into my students' fingers, so why shouldn't you?
