Did you know acne and thyroid issues are intimately connected??...

Let me break it down
Low thyroid function is one of the gland disturbances that many people suffer from without even realizing it.

It can be the cause of low energy or constant fatigue, chronic headaches, repeated infections and many skin conditions.

When thyroid function is low, blood circulation is reduced. With reduced circulation, nourishment supplied by the blood is then reduced and therefore waste products arenot removed fast enough or fully (since blood is what removes the waste products).

When thyroid and metabolism is low and the body isn't getting the adequate nourishment of Vitamin A/Retinol it needs (especially in the SAD diet Standard American Diet) then you can get acne. Thyroid and Vitamin A go hand in hand. Vitamin A is needed for the healthy skin.
Know Vitamin A is NOT Beta Carotene. Vitamin A is Retinol which you can only get from clean animal products. Beta Carotene is actually anti-thyroid since most of us cannot convert the molecules.

When thyroid and metabolism are low, the body cannot adequately make its sex hormones like progesterone which is incredibly important in the prevention and cure of acne.

*How to check thyroid:

I've talked before about blood serum tests aren't always the best. For this reason the basal body temp can serve as a good guide in addition to blood tests to see how thyroid is doing
(even on medication!)
temps should be 97.8-98.2 depending on menstrual cycle cycle phase.

How to support thyroid & the skin:

1. Enough protein (muscle meat, seafood, gelatin, bone broth, collagen)

2. Avoiding birth control

3. Beef liver in diet or supplemental support

4. Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field therapy which recharges the cells & allows more support & energy for the thyroid (since the thyroid is the energy censor of the body)

5. Redlight therapy to increase ATP production

6. Remove Fluoride & chlorine from drinking AND shower/bath water. Both Fluoride & chlorine block thyroid production & deplete minerals.

7. Remove smoking, alcohol & soda from diet.

8. Have a raw Carrot salad daily to remove extra estrogen (my post for that is in comments)
