If your test results indicate that you are Thyroid Dominant:

Those with thyroid stress tend to have altered metabolisms. This can be due to several reasons: essential amino acid deficiencies, mineral deficiencies (particularly iodine, selenium, and magnesium), and/or signaling issues within the pituitary and parathyroid glands. Individuals with thyroid stress are more apt to have evenly distributed adipose storage, rather than the concentrated fat deposition patterns reminiscent of liver, adrenal, or gonadal stressed individuals.

Thyroid stress may induce cogitation difficulty, or slowed mental capabilities, due to the strong relationship with the liver and iodine’s role in brain function. The thyroid also has a strong relationship with the ovaries that when is disrupted can lead to a loss of sex drive and fluctuation of hormone levels. Its interactions with the pituitary and kidneys can result in hair loss (outer third of the eyebrows) and brittle, dry hair and skin. Feelings of lethargy and depression are also common with extended thyroid stress.
