They affect your blood sugar, your parasympathetic and sympathetic drive as well.  Gut function and the bacteria in your gut are pretty important.  Having a diverse microbiome, a variety of bugs, helps us achieve better health  When you hit menopause (this is important for all women to know because all women will eventually hit menopause) your risk factors of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, etc. increase significantly.  You can see a decrease in fine motor skills, cognition, increased depression and anxiety and a greater risk for Alzheimer’s disease.  This is true even if you are physically active.  What is the best way to improve your gut bacteria?  It is NOT a probiotic.    Do

Apparently T2 supplements are all the rage and the marketing will get you good. "Take this and burn fat, feel better".  The people selling these things are making a ton of money off of your hope that this will truely make you feel better.

And I'll help you understand why that is.  Download The Definitive Guide To Hashimoto's here https://mailchi.mp/0e5555d60258/the-definitive-guide-to-hashimotos
