Leptin: “Leptin resistance is defined by a reduced sensitivity or a failure in response of the brain to leptin, showing a decrease in the ability of leptin to suppress appetite or enhance energy expenditure, which causes an increased food intake and finally leads to overweight, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and other metabolic disorders” (1)
“A minor increase in leptin concentration reduces the appetite and leads to a decrease in body weight;3 however, in obesity, despite increased leptin concentration, the efficacy of the anorexic effect of leptin is decreased,1,3 with leptin resistance developing due to a defect in intracellular signaling associated with the leptin receptor or decreases in leptin transport across the blood–brain barrier (BBB)” (2)

NOTES:
What: “Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a type of autoimmune disease — your immune system doesn’t recognize your thyroid as your own and attacks it.
Hashimoto’s disease is common and affects about five people in 100 in the United States.”(1)
Who will develop ? “autoimmune diseases, like certain liver conditions, B12 deficiency, gluten sensitivity” (1)
Symptoms of Hashimoto disease include: (2)
- Weight gain
- Fatigue
- Hair loss
- Low tolerance for cold temperatures
- Irregular menstrual periods
- Constipation
- Depression
- Joint pain
the patient may develop a non-tender, symmetrical, and painless goiter. As inflammation continues, thyroid follicles are damaged and can rupture. (3)
Heart disease: “Hypothyroidism lowers heart rate and cardiac output leading to increased risk of cardiovascular disease (Biondi et al. 2002; Biondi 2012), hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension (Klein and Ojamaa 2001; Toft and Boon 2000). Even subclinical hypothyroidism already presents a doubling of myocardial infarction and an elevated rate of atherosclerosis”(4)

The second thing you need to know about hashimotos/hypothyroidism TREATING TSH WONT MATTER________
“Hyperprolactinemia can be caused by hypothyroidism. Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus stimulates prolactin and TSH release. Prolactin release can suppress testosterone, LH, FSH, and GnRH release.” (1)
dx with the blood test TPO (thyroid perioxidase)______(2)
RT3: “T4 conversion to T3 and rT3: After its release from the thyroid gland, T4 is converted to T3, which is an active thyroid hormone, or to rT3, which is considered an inactive form. The rate and ratio of T4 conversion to either T3 or rT3 depend on the body’s metabolic needs.”(3)

The third thing you need to know about hashimotos/hypothyroidism is medication might not fix it ______
Armour, NP (bioidentical)
“How is Hashimoto’s disease treated?
If Hashimoto’s disease does progress to hypothyroidism, usual treatment is a synthetic (man-made) form of thyroid hormone called levothyroxine (Synthroid®, Tirosint®, Levoxyl®, Levothroid®, Unithroid®).”
“There is no special diet for Hashimoto’s disease”(1)
Studies: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17665-hashimotos-disease(1)
The fourth thing you need to know about hashimotos/hypothyroidism is _your thyroid problem didnt start with the thyroid ______
HIGH DHEA-S: Infertility / acne / PCOS (1)
LOW DHEA-S: erectile dysfunction (1)
Dopamine inhibits TSH synthesis and release (2), but raises TRH
Epinephrine then cortisol in adrenals (3)
“After an external stimulus triggers the body’s stress response, the pituitary-adrenal axis and sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system are activated.” (4)
“Functional deficiency due to impaired mechanisms of catecholamine release, reuptake, or receptor sensitivity has neurophysiologic effects involving dysregulation of mood and attention” (4) “cocaine or amphetamines”
“these findings indicate that the prolonged administration of pharmcological doses of DA significantly reduced serum TSH levels and thyroid hormone secretion in normal and criticall
ill patients, most likely by a direct inhibition of pituitary TSH with a secondary effect on thyroid gland secretion” (5)

Why? They are a hormone factory and their production decreases with age and stress.
The adrenal glands make stress hormones for us to function. “Salt, sugar, sex” (1)
Cortisol, dopamine, norepinephrine, aldosterone (1st layer), sex hormones
DHEA-most abundant hormone in the body (1) precursor: progesterone, estrogen, cortisol, and testosterone , pregnenolone,
“The adrenal glands play a vital role in the body's fight or flight response. They generate stress hormones that activate physiological adaptations that are necessary to counteract changes in the external environment. (1)
Vitamin b5 “Vitamin B5 (VB5), also known as pantothenate or "anti-stress vitamin,"” (2)
“Its deficiency leads to reduced cortisol production, increased arthritic pain, myalgia, fatigue, headache, depression, insomnia, and widespread "proinflammatory" effects on the immune-system.”

The potential role of B5: A stitch in time and switch in cytokine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31691401/ (2)
Second way to boost your energy is __support your dopamine production_______________.
Dopamine functions: (1)
- Memory.
- Pleasurable reward and motivation.
- Behavior and cognition.
- Attention.
- Sleep and arousal.
- Mood.
- Learning.
- Lactation.
Dopamine also: (1)
- Causes blood vessels to relax (at low doses, it acts as a vasodilator) or constrict (at high doses, it acts as a vasoconstrictor).
- Increases sodium (salt) and urine removal from your body.
- Reduces insulin production in your pancreas.
- Slows gastrointestinal (GI) (gut) content movement and protects your GI lining.
- Reduces lymphocyte activity in your immune system.
“If you have the right balance of dopamine, you feel: (1)
- Happy.*****
- Motivated.
- Alert.***
- Focused.*****
If you have a low dopamine level, you might feel: (1)
- Tired.
- Unmotivated.
- Unhappy.
You may also have:
- Memory loss.
- Mood swings.
- Sleep problems.
- Concentration problems.
- A low sex drive.
“Dopamine is known as the “feel-good” hormone. It gives you a sense of pleasure. It also gives you the motivation to do something when you’re feeling pleasure.(1)”
***Is this the hormone we should target in depression?***
“Depression is common - one-fourth of the U.S. population will have a depressive episode sometime in life. “(2) **DOES LOW DOPAMINE SOUND LIKE DEPRESSION?
“Folate is a water-soluble B-vitamin necessary for the proper biosynthesis of the monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin, epinephrine, and dopamine.” (2)
“Without the participation of 5-MTHF in this process, SAMe and neurotransmitter levels decrease in the cerebrospinal fluid, contributing to the disease process of depression. SAMe supplementation was shown to improve depressive symptoms.” (2) **BLISS**

Third way to boost your energy is __regulate your insulin_______________.
“If you have type 2 diabetes, your body does not use insulin properly. This is called insulin resistance.”
“Diabetes is a problem with your body that causes blood sugar (also called blood glucose) levels to rise higher than normal. This is also called hyperglycemia.” (1)
“Things that can make blood sugar rise include:
- A meal or snack with more food or more carbohydrates than usual
- Inactivity
- Side effects of medications
- Infection or other illness
- Changes in hormone levels, such as during menstrual periods
- Stress

3rd way to boost your energy is to increase your ATP production:
“Adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP, is a molecule that carries energy within cells. It is the main energy currency of the cell,”
“Mitochondria are subcellular self-autonomous organelles primarily responsible for the generation of energy and ATP synthesis. “ (2)
“with age, mitochondria accumulate ROS-induced damage and become dysfunctional. With time, the function of cells declines causing aging and subsequent death.” (2)

Fourth way to boost your energy is _infrared light therapy________________.
“this induces activation of signaling pathways that affect cellular metabolism.”(1)
“Subsequent experiments demonstrated that isolated mitochondria are sensitive to irradiation with monochromatic light in the red and near-infrared spectrum. For example, illumination of isolated rat liver mitochondria increased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis and oxygen consumption.” (1)
Studies:Low-level light therapy of the eye and brain
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5436183/ (1)
5th way to boost your energy is __cold exposure__________________.
“In healthy individuals, cold exposure can increase energy expenditure and whole body glucose and fatty acid utilization. Repeated exposures can lower fasting glucose and insulin levels and improve dietary fatty acid handling, even in healthy individuals.” (1)
“discovery that human BAT could be stimulated to produce heat and clear circulating substrates upon cold exposure” (1)
“the stimulation of cutaneous cold-sensitive thermoreceptors results in the activation of autonomic and somatic motor responses to limit heat loss to the environment and increase metabolic heat production “ (1)
