Hypothyroidism is a medical condition characterized by an underactive thyroid gland, which is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck. The thyroid gland produces hormones, primarily thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which play an important role in regulating the body's metabolism. These hormones influence various processes in the body, including the production of energy, temperature regulation, and the functioning of organs and tissues.
In hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones, leading to a slowdown of the body's metabolic processes. The most common cause of hypothyroidism is an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Other causes may include thyroid surgery, radiation therapy, certain medications, and congenital thyroid abnormalities.
The symptoms of an under active thyroid can vary but often include:
1. Fatigue and weakness
2. Weight gain
3. Cold intolerance
4. Dry skin and hair
5. Constipation
6. Muscle aches and stiffness
7. Depression
8. Memory and concentration problems
9. Menstrual irregularities in women
10. Hoarseness
If left unaddressed, hypothyroidism can lead to complications such as cardiovascular issues, infertility, joint pain, and in severe cases, a life-threatening condition known as myxedema coma. It is essential for individuals experiencing symptoms of hypothyroidism to seek care. I recommend working with a practitioner who focuses on root-cause based solutions.
Diagnosis is typically based on blood tests that measure levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Mainstream medical treatment usually involves thyroid hormone replacement therapy, where patients take synthetic thyroid hormones (levothyroxine) to restore normal hormone levels in the body. However, I would be weary of jumping into "treatments" such as this one. If your thyroid is under active, it is important to take as to why this is the case. Addressing the root-cause, healing from other internal compromises (which will vary from person to person) and then using nature's medicine to pick up thyroid function is key. This is how my clients make full recovery.
If you're interested in getting to the root-cause of your diagnosis/ symptoms, I have some services which you might be interested in here.
Never forget: Physical freedom is your birthright!

This is something to think about - If you’re constantly going around saying or thinking things like “I have IBS/ Cancer/ a Virus/ Anxiety, etc.”, you’re putting affirmations out into the universe which can effect you on a cellular level.
Remember: the body pays attention to what you say and it responds accordingly.
Thankfully, with holistic healing, there are ways to find out what the root-cause of your diagnoses are so that you can address and heal them.
THAT, my friends, is what taking a ROOT-CAUSE based approach looks like. THAT is how you actually HEAL the body.
FACT 1. It is only when the body's eliminative pathways, glands, and the lymphatic system (immune system) become compromised that “dis-ease” occurs.
FACT 2. It is not about the “disease” - it’s about why your body was HOSPITABLE to the “disease” to begin with.
Welcome to the world of Detoxification and Iridology! I am so excited to be offering in-depth & personalized Iridology Analysis Reports to my clients.
What exactly is Lymphatic Iridology?
Iridology is a study of the iris of the eyes, as it relates to cellular weaknesses (genetics) and lymphatic stagnation (acidosis and toxicity). Iridology is practiced worldwide and dates back over 500 years. The Science of Iridology is growing leaps and bounds as specialized cameras and computers are designed to take an even deeper look into the study of the iris as it relates to the cells of the human body. Every cell in your body reflects itself through the autonomic nervous system to the central nervous system (brain) and optic nerves. As tissues become weakened and congested (acidic), changes occur in the fibers of the iris of the eye. The iris fibers (the trabecula) have been mapped out correspondingly to the related tissues in the body. By observing these fibers, changes and colors in the iris, we can analyze your body's strengths, weaknesses and degrees of stagnation within the great lymphatic system (acids).
What is an Iris Analysis (Neuro-Optic Analysis)?
As previously mentioned, your iris fibers tell a story of your body's cellular strengths and weaknesses, starting with the inherent patterns given to you by your parents as well as the condition of the lymphatic system. Your Neuro-Optic Analysis is not a diagnosis of disease. Put very simply, it is a report of your cellular strengths and weaknesses based on registered tissue changes. Iridology is the only science known to expose the condition of the body's huge sewer (lymphatic) system. This is the number one system of man's suffering and yet, the least known or spoken about.
Which areas of the body can Iridology potentially find weaknesses in?
Iridology can pinpoint weaknesses and/ or concerns all over the body. This includes: your digestive system, nervous system, skin, cholesterol utilization, drug deposits, the skeletal system, the reproductive systems, the endocrine systems, the colon, lymphatic system, and much more!
What can I expect as part of my Iridology Analysis?
Eric is a certified Clinical Lymphatic Iridologist. An Iridology Analysis Report is especially valuable in your journey of "Getting Healthy", as it highlights your cellular weaknesses and your degree of acidosis (lymphatic stagnation).
As part of your in-depth & personalized analysis, you will receive:

As western diets become increasingly more detrimental, it is unfortunately becoming more and more common for mothers to experience a shortening supply of breast milk. This is causing many women to rely on formula brands which include many harmful additives that can negatively affect the immune system of their babies. In the last few decades, chronic illness including autoimmune diseases, skin issues, ADHD, as well as mood disorders have become much more prominent in children under the age of 12. Children are also developing noticeably (and scarily) much quicker than they once did. Many mainstream formula brands (such as Enfamil NeuroPro) include harmful ingredients such as whey protein, animal secretions, soy, oils, as well as various chemical compounds and acids. These harmful additives and preservatives contribute to an accumulation of acid in the body and can eventually lead to "dis-ease" and a plethora of various diagnosis.
Some of the leading causes of decrease in breast milk supply include poor acidic diets, smoking, coffee, stress, and medications.
In the vast majority of today’s western societies we are conditioned to rely on medications and harmful brands as opposed to learning about how to use natural medicinal plants to support our body’s innate abilities. This is in part due to the fact that Big Pharma cannot make any profit from healthy individuals and therefore relies on the sickness of mankind to generate massive amounts of income. This is why many natural healing modalities, as the one I am about to discuss, are heavily suppressed or swept under the rug.
I get emails on a weekly basis from new mothers who are desperate to find a way to naturally increase their breast milk production. The good news is that there is a way! I am often in awe at the perfection of nature, and how there's always a plant that exists which can help facilitate in the body's natural healing process.
In this specific case, that herb is called Fenugreek. Fenugreek belongs to the Fabaceae plant family. It is a clover-like herb which leaves consist of three small obovate to oblong leaflets. It is native to the Mediterranean region, southern Europe, and western Asia. Amongst its benefits for women who struggle with menstrual discomfort, menopause (which is just chronic lymphatic stagnation), hair & skin related issues and diabetes, is its ability to increase a lessening supply of breast milk production.
In order for Fenugreek to be effective for new mothers, it may have to be consumed in large doses- about 4 or 5 capsules anywhere from 5 to 6 times per day, sometimes even more, until your supply regulates. But please note that this is a plant- it is NOT a chemical medication. It is NOT harmful, and archaeologists have traced the use of this plant back to as early as 4000 BC. There are plants which should be consumed with caution, but Fenugreek is known to be extremely safe.
I must also add that it would be irresponsible for me to suggest taking an herb without also recommending you do this in conjunction with a diet full of high vibrational living foods. I recommend increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables you consume, especially berries which are great for your glands and are particularly high in antioxidants.
I also want to note that the pituitary gland makes prolactin which is the hormone necessary for breast milk production. So if you’re having trouble and Fenugreek isn't increasing your supply, you may want to work with a detoxification specialist and check for a potential pituitary gland weakness.
One way to address gland weaknesses is by using a bovine glandular. Glandular therapy refers to the short term (no more than 2 months) use of animal tissues to try to enhance the function of, or mimic the effect of, the corresponding human tissue. Put more simply, it’s the temporary use of an animal gland (in capsule form) to help assist your body. For example: If someone has an adrenal gland weakness, temporarily using an adrenal glandular can help "boost" or "awaken" that gland and improve its function. It is important to work with a trained detoxification specialist or holistic health practitioner to ensure you're consuming glandulars at the right dosage and for a safe amount of time. Also, glandulars are obviously not vegan, so that’s something to also keep in mind.
Remember that regardless of what health challenge you’re dealing with, your body is the healer. Health is about moving out of your body’s way and allowing it to finally do what its designed to. It's about removing the things you're consuming that are obstructing the body's natural flow of energy. The human body speaks through symptoms. Symptoms are always signs that something needs to change. Health is not about taking a pill to block a symptom. It's about getting to the root cause. Plants are great at helping us achieve this more quickly.
Congratulations on your baby! I hope Fenugreek turns out to be the blessing you’ve been looking for.
Love,
E.

There is way too much emphasis on the treatment of dis-ease and very little focus on true prevention through diet- especially in mainstream media. It makes you wonder, "Why is this information being suppressed? Who's benefiting from the human race being so sick? Is it normal that we all know at least one or two people who are suffering with some type of chronic dis-ease? Is this how life is supposed to be?"
The medical community still uses the extremely flawed "germ theory" which promotes the idea that you "catch" diseases as opposed to building or acquiring them due to your internal terrain. This ultimately leads to the suppression of symptoms via "treatments" which manifests into further dis-ease down the line.
Louis Pasteur, the father of the "germ theory" himself even said that his theory was wrong right before he passed away.
"The microbe is nothing, the terrain is everything." - Louis Pasteur
Physically liberation is beautiful. There is both freedom and a sense of pride in knowing that you have a choice in your healing.
There are so many misconceptions about health and what the human body needs. This is why I'm happy to do my part and spread this message. It's important for people to know that their health is in their own hands.
The more people who know this message, the more true health and vitality will trickle across the world.
Much love always,
Eric
Here are a few:

5. It Is Nutritious
There are so many different herbs to choose from worldwide. What I love the most about herbs is that they all have their own levels of consciousness and their own way of assisting the body’s different organs. They have this innate powerful intelligence which works as natural medicine. You get all of the benefits with none of the harsh and often fatal symptoms attached to pharmaceutical drugs.
There are certain herbs that just happen to have a special place in my heart. Yes, I am an herb nerd. I have favorites.
One of those herbs is “Olive Leaf Extract”. It’s a super powerful herb. We all know about olives and olive oil, but a lot of people don’t know that the leaves from the olive tree are very powerful and contain some potent and unique compounds. Olive leaf (Olea europaea) was first used medicinally in Ancient Egypt. It’s still around today doing some amazing things. There’s a compound in Olive Leaf Extract called Oleuropein which has a bunch of therapeutic properties. When it comes to Olive Leaf Extract supplements, the higher the Oleuropein content, the more potent the antioxidant effect.
Olive Leaf Extract is super anti-inflammatory. 99% of the world (especially Americans) should be consuming anti inflammatory foods on a regular basis. As a species, we have gone way too far with our consumption of unnatural, dead and fiberless foods which produces a lot of inflammation within the body. This unnatural and detrimental consumption is what ultimately leads to heart disease, cancer, diabetes as well as many other health challenges. All dis-ease is the result of systemic acidosis and inflammation.
OLE is amazing at inhibiting viral replication and fungus.
For viruses, it has to do with that compound I mentioned earlier: Oleuropein. It’s able to stop viruses in their tracks and prevents them from replicating. If you can manage to stop a virus from replicating while synergistically detoxing the viral load out of your body, you can actually detox an entire viral load from your system. It takes work but is absolutely possible. I recommend Olive Leaf Extract in conjunction with other antiviral and antimicrobial herbs to all of my clients dealing with viral load issues. I have seen amazing success with herbal therapy and an improved diet.
As with all other “dis-ease”, you never want to try and attack a specific virus or specific type of cancer, etc. You need a full body approach which focuses on opening all channels of elimination and addressing your specific tissue weaknesses. This is why I personalize my clients’ protocols. There is no “one size fits all” protocol because everyone’s constitution and weaknesses are unique to them.
As for fungus, humans today have major fungus, “leaky gut” and candida overgrowth issues. This is due to improper food combining, stress, dairy, and animal flesh. OLE changes the environment of your gut to make it unfavorable to fungus. A fungal environment within the body is the perfect breeding ground for things like parasites, viruses, and other harmful microbes. This is where they thrive.
Thankfully, OLE is AMAZING for the gut. The human body is made up of two fluids, a bunch of cells, and bacteria. Did you know that the bacteria in your gut plays a huge role in your mood? Your adrenal glands are linked to anxiety and your pancreas is linked to depression but we cannot rely entirely on our own glands to feel good. We need beneficial bacteria. OLE has compounds that can actually alter the gut microbiota, which results in a greater abundance of beneficial microbes. This ultimately contributes to a happier and well balanced mood.
Here’s a few bonus things that OLE has been shown to do:
Enhance immune system function in immune compromised people
Regulate blood pressure
Prevent oxidative stress
Fight diabetes
Improve brain function
Improve skin health
& much more
I’ve recommended Olive Leaf Extract to many of my clients throughout their protocols. It’s been mind blowing to see how much improvement has occurred with their symptoms so quickly.
