Male Thyroid Problems, Symptoms & Solutions

by Sara Banta | Mar 25, 2023 | AHP News, Iodine, Men's Health, Thyroid Health

While it is true that most who suffer from hypothyroidism or thyroid issues are women, thyroid health does affect men. Part of this issue is that men are less likely to get blood tests and be diagnosed with hypothyroidism, or any health condition for that matter.

The thyroid is the master endocrine gland and affects stress, hormones, adrenal health, energy, metabolism, and fat burning. The thyroid gland regulates the male testes, pituitary gland, pineal gland, hypothalamus, pancreas, and adrenals. Many men with hypothyroidism go undiagnosed and view their symptoms as caused by a mood disorder or hormone disorder instead of a thyroid issue.

Hypothyroid Symptoms in Males

Without a proper diagnosis, some symptoms of thyroid problems in males include include:

    • Hair loss
    • Low sex drive and libido
    • Enlarged prostate
    • Delayed ejaculation
    • Erectile dysfunction
    • Loss of muscle mass
    • Fat gain and weight gain. For men, weight gain is usually around the belly.
    • Mood changes
    • Constipation
    • Fatigue
    • Slow metabolism
    • Water retention
    • Leptin Resistance
    • Lowered testosterone levels
    • Man boobs or Gynecomastia
    • Depression or anxiety

Because most males fail to go to the doctor for thyroid labs, they misdiagnose their symptoms as a mood disorder or low testosterone, leading them to take anti-depressants, and testosterone therapy, which does not correct the root of the problem.

Addressing Thyroid Problems in Males

1. THYROID SUPPLEMENTS

Acceleradine®

 

Acceleradine® is the only iodine to have 100% absorption for all 100 trillion cells in the body and helps to regulate the estrogen and testosterone balance in males. Iodine cleanses the blood so that the liver can do its job in producing Estrogen Binding Protein that alleviates Estrogen Dominance in men. It helps detox the brain and body from the radiation and heavy metals that cause brain fog, depression, anxiety, hormone balance, metabolism issues, fatigue, and more.

Directions: Start with 3 drops in water 3 times per day at least 15 minutes away from food or supplements. Increase the dose by one drop per dose per day until you reach 25 drops three times per day. Stay on that dosage for optimal thyroid health, detoxification, and overall health.

Accelerated Thyroid®

 

Accelerated Thyroid® combines ancient herbal wisdom with advanced glandular therapy in addition to ingredients that enhance not only thyroid health but overall physical and mental health in males. Lastly, it is enhanced with Scalar frequencies with our proprietary Scalar Field technology to imbue specific healing patterns that ultimately improve mental and physical energy.

The Scalar frequencies include:

  • Enhancing the general health of the thyroid
  • Neutralizing toxins found in the thyroid such as chlorine, fluorine, mercury, and other metals
  • Neutralizing radiation and nuclear fallout.

Directions: Take 3-4 capsules in the morning. Can be taken with Accelerated Fast® and other supplements. You may add 1-2 more at noon if needed.

Accelerated Ancient Salt™

 

Accelerated Ancient Salt™ “plumps” up the volume of fluid inside and outside of the cells which encourages the cleansing of the liver, supports apoptosis, eliminates excess estrogen, helps fat burning, and supports healthy thyroid function.

Directions: Put a pinch on your tongue or in your water 15 minutes following Acceleradine®. Also, use liberally on food.

Cogniblast®

 

Cogniblast® is one of the first nootropic supplements in the world to combine traditional herbs known to enhance brain function with “smart” nutraceuticals into a completely powerful formula that one can actually feel working. It helps alleviate the mental anxiety, depression, agitation, fatigue, and frustration associated with thyroid issues in males. Furthermore, it increases ATP production and cellular energy, decreases inflammation, reduces stress, increases learning speed, and increases mood.

Directions: Take 3 capsules in the morning or 30 minutes prior to mental or focused activity.

Accelerated Fast®

 

Accelerated Fast® not only flips the body into ketosis which increases fat burning, but it also contains ingredients that synergistically increase mood, provide stable and extended energy, cleanse the liver for improved thyroid hormone conversion from T4 to T3, and support overall mental and physical health.

Directions: Take 3-4 capsules in the morning and intermittently fast until you are hungry.

2. AROMATHERAPY

SHINE Mist

 

Shine may help increase testosterone in men, increase energy, increase libido, increase strength, increase immunity, increase stem cell growth, and improve mood— all factors that help with thyroid-related issues. It contains frequencies to enhance its efficacy. The ingredients include Canadian Pine Pollen, Tongkat Ali, Polyrhachis Extract, Blue Spruce Oil, Ginger Oil, and Sage Oil.

Directions: Spray on the inside of the wrists and breathe the aroma in.

DREAM Mist

 

The Dream Mist helps with relaxation, reducing stress, calming the nervous system, increasing dopamine, encouraging restful sleep, and increasing stem cell growth in men. It contains frequencies to enhance its efficacy. The ingredients include Canadian Pine Pollen, Tongkat Ali, Mucuna Pruriens, Jasmine Oil, Lavender, and Clary Sage.

Directions: Spray on the inside of the wrists and breathe the aroma in.

3. DETOX & CLEANSE

Accelerated Diet Cleanse

 

The Accelerated Diet Cleanse includes Acceleradine®, Accelerated Fast®, Accelerated Thyroid™, and additional supplements to support liver cleansing which resets the metabolism, thyroid health, mental health, and fat burning in men.

Supplements included in the Accelerated Diet Cleanse:

 

    • Accelerated Cellular Detox® Powder.  This soaks up the toxins, radiation, and heavy metals that can clog the thyroid receptor sites, create brain fog, downgrade metabolism, and induce anxiety.
    • Quintessential 0.9.  This provides the needed minerals and electrolytes needed for cellular health, metabolism, physical energy, and mental energy in males.
    • Laxa Comfort.  This helps produce 2-3 bowel movements a day.  Constipation will inhibit the detoxification of the toxins that can lead to hypothyroidism, recycled estrogen, reduced free testosterone, increased brain fog, and mental issues.
    • Liver Flush Kit.  This kit softens liver stones and gallstones and preps the liver for two weeks to then release them out of the body and into the toilet.  As a result, thyroid hormone conversion from T4 to T3 increases, fat burning increases, and metabolism is optimized in men.

4. LIFESTYLE CHANGES

Eliminate Alcohol

Alcohol disrupts the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and can lead to hypothyroidism. Furthermore, it increases estrogen in multiple ways, decreases testosterone, slows down the metabolism, encourages fat storage, backs up the liver, halts the conversion of T4 into the active T3, and leads to chronic anxiety and depression.

Sleep

Getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep will benefit circadian rhythm regulation which affects thyroid function. Thyroid health is heavily influenced by the sleep-wake cycle and circadian rhythms. If you suffer from insomnia, the lack of sleep is a stressor on the body, and as a result, the thyroid will tend to convert T4 into Reverse T3 versus active T3. As a result, metabolism will decrease, cortisol will increase, and both of those factors will encourage fat storage.

Eliminate Sugar and Processed Foods

Sugar and processed foods increase estrogen in the body, decrease ATP production at the cellular level, cause leaky gut, and back up the liver where T4 converts to the active thyroid hormone T3. All of these factors lower the metabolism, testosterone, and fat burning in men.

Intermittent Fasting

Fasting resets insulin sensitivity, helps heal Leaky Gut, encourages liver detoxification, improves testosterone and growth hormone, and increases metabolism and fat burning in men.

Eliminate Soy

Soy is estrogenic and can inhibit thyroid function in males. To compound the issue, all soy is GMO and mimics estrogen in the body, leading to estrogen dominance in men. This will lead to man boobs, muscle tone loss, and a backed up liver, while inhibiting the conversion of T4 to T3.

Eliminate GMO foods and Grains

These foods are highly inflammatory, cause Leaky Gut, and cause thyroid autoimmune issues in men. Furthermore, they inhibit Phase 2 estrogen detoxification in the liver. Lastly, through aromatization, testosterone is converted into estrogen in men, encouraging the storage of belly fat.

Eliminate Stress

Stress creates oxidation and inflammation throughout the body and encourages T4 to convert into Reverse T3, leading to hypothyroidism in men. The issue is compounded due to stress causing a disruption in detoxification, leaky gut, adrenal burnout, and hormonal imbalances. As the adrenals are overworked, the thyroid and metabolism will suffer further.
