Look at the outer third of your eyebrow right now. The end. The part that's furthest from your nose. [pointing at her own] If it's thinning, or gone, or sparse like mine got, and you didn't pluck it that way, this isn't aging. [aside] And it isn't the cream you've been buying.
> On-screen text: LOOK AT THE OUTER THIRD OF YOUR EYEBROW
There's a sign in functional medicine: Queen Anne's sign. It's the disappearing outer third of the eyebrow. And it's one of the most specific visible markers that the thyroid is running short. The follicles in that exact spot are unusually sensitive to thyroid hormone.
But it's almost never just the eyebrow. So while you're at the mirror, go through the list with me.
Hair falling out in the shower drain? Often thyroid.
Skin that's gone papery, or alligator-looking around the elbows? Same root.
Nails with vertical ridges? Same root.
Weight that won't budge no matter what you eat? Same root.
Cold all the time when nobody else in the room is cold? Same root.
When four or five of those are happening at once, it isn't five things. [aside] It's one thing going wrong in five addresses.
Here's the biology. Your thyroid makes a hormone called T4. Your follicles, your skin cells, your nails, they all run on T3, the active form. Between them is a switch that needs selenium and zinc to flip. Most women in their fifties are running low on both. So T4 sits there. Your cells starve. The visible parts of you, eyebrow, hair, skin, nails, show it first.
That's what Kindled is. Iodine, selenium, zinc, and copper: the four minerals your thyroid actually needs to make and use its hormone. Plus the adaptogen blend, in a sublingual liquid, because hypothyroid guts don't absorb pills well.
[aside] Hair takes time. Your eyebrows are the slow part of the body to come back. Patience matters here. Won't work overnight. Talk to your doctor, especially if you have Hashimoto's, about iodine before starting. Adjunct to what your doctor has you on, never instead of.
If you want to give your thyroid what it's been short on, Kindled is at trykindled.com.
