Matt Cook here, and hypothyroidism is a condition that is becoming increasingly prevalent, affecting millions of people worldwide.

The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism, among other vital functions.

I say the thyroid is the master organ of metabolism.

When the thyroid is sluggish, it can cause a slowed metabolism, leading to a range of health problems.

Most people though don’t even know what the thyroid is, let alone hypothyroidism…

That’s why I call it a “silent epidemic.”

It can go undiagnosed for years, with symptoms that can easily be mistaken for other conditions.

According to recent statistics, approximately 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease…

…with an estimated 60% of those with thyroid disease being unaware of their condition.

And let me tell you, these are mainstream healthcare numbers…

In reality it’s WAY MORE than that.

For years I have extensively studied the role of the thyroid in overall health.

I believe that hypothyroidism is a significant contributing factor to the rise in chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

Unfortunately, a sluggish thyroid is also one of the leading reasons why men are experiencing so many sexual problems…

Problems like poor rockiness and low libido…

Your member won’t work if your thyroid is not working properly, that’s for sure.

Once I got my thyroid working again, I started to experience raging boners and an insatiable libido.

My wife is thankful for that…

Now… There are many ways to handle hypothyroidism and get your thyroid working again.

Today I’m gonna tell you about one of them.

This solution to a sluggish thyroid is called ginger.

Ginger is a spice that has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties…

Thanks to a recent study, it has recently gained attention for its potential benefits in relieving hypothyroid symptoms.

This study was conducted at the Shiraz University of Medical Science. It was published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

The researchers recruited 60 hypothyroid patients aged 20 to 60 years.

The patients were randomly assigned to either a ginger group or a placebo group.

The ginger group received 500mg of ginger twice a day, while the placebo group received an empty capsule twice a day for 30 days.

Before and after the intervention, the researchers evaluated the patients' hypothyroid symptoms using the Thyroid Symptom Rating Questionnaire (ThySRQ).

They also measured the patient’s body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, serum TSH, fasting blood sugar, triglycerides, and total cholesterol levels as secondary outcomes.

After 30 days, the researchers found that the ginger group had a significantly lower mean total ThySRQ score compared to the placebo group.

“A significantly lower mean total ThySRQ score was observed in the ginger group compared to the control group.”
This means better thyroid function.

The ginger group showed significant improvements in classic hypothyroid symptoms, such as:

Weight gain
Cold intolerance
Constipation
Dry skin
Appetite
Memory loss
Concentration disturbance
Feeling giddy or dizzy

That’s truly amazing.

But it’s not over yet – the improvements continue.

The ginger group had less:

Body weight
Waist circumference
Serum TSH
Fasting blood sugar
Triglycerides
Total cholesterol

“Ginger supplementation also led to a significant decrease in body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, serum TSH, FBS, TG, and TChol levels compared to the placebo.“**

To me, all of this simply means one thing…

Their metabolism was working again — thanks to ginger.

“Also, it may have beneficial effects in terms of weight reduction and regulation of the FBS and lipid profile in hypothyroid patients.”
And it was almost as effective as Rx treatments – while being a completely natural spice.

“In summary, according to preliminary results of this study, ginger supplementation can help relieve persistent hypothyroid symptoms.“
It’s also anti-inflammatory and helps with digestion, which is always welcome.

If you have such symptoms, I strongly recommend eating more ginger – fresh and dried.

Phytic acid not only grabs on to or chelates important minerals, but also inhibits enzymes that we need to digest our food, including pepsin, needed for the breakdown of proteins in the stomach, and amylase needed for the breakdown of starch into sugar. Trypsin, needed for protein digestion in the small intestine, is also inhibited by phytates.

There is no doubt that nuts are a notoriously healthy snack food. While they once got a bad rap for their high fat content, we’ve gotten over it.

We know nuts are packed with loads of vitamins, some protein, fibre and antioxidants, so they’ve gotten their seal of approval.

There is a downside to most nuts though – phytic acid! In short, phytic acid or phytates bind to minerals that we consume making them difficult for the body to process and utilise properly.

These minerals cannot be absorbed by the body efficiently, basically deeming those good qualities of nuts useless. Over time, a diet high in phytates can lead to severe mineral deficiencies despite a “healthy” diet.

The reason that humans suffer from indigestion and autoimmune reactions from unsprouted foods is because we aren’t designed to break down antinutrients in plant compounds that lock up or deplete vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Regularly consuming high amounts of antinutrients can significantly impact your health.
