ELIMINATE Thyroid Tired Eyes

The Dr. Westin Childs Podcast

Is your thyroid contributing to an overall look of fatigue or tiredness on your face? If so, you aren’t alone. And today I’m going to teach you how to get rid of this look so you that you can wake up feeling and looking refreshed. The stereotypical thyroid tired look comes from a variety of things including the impact that thyroid function can have on your face and eyes. Due to changes in your sleep and even changes in your facial shape from swelling, your thyroid can make you look chronically tired. The good news is that it doesn’t have to last forever and there are things you can do to fix it right up. Step 1. Get more sleep! Here are 3 tips to help you get more sleep: - Tape your mouth shut. - Set a bed time and protect it. - Allow your body to wake up naturally and get out of bed immediately upon waking up. - Step 4 (treat your thyroid but more on this later). Getting more sleep is ALWAYS important if you don’t want to look tired. Step 2. Do facial yoga. Facial yoga targets the muscles of facial expression and brings more blood flow and, thus, nutrients to your face. Doing this will help your muscles and face look more youthful. Step 3. Optimize thyroid function. Low thyroid function can contribute to problems like facial swelling and insomnia and even fatigue which all will contribute to your overall energy level and look. Your goal here is to normalize thyroid function with either the use of thyroid medications or natural treatments or both. Step 4. Take fish oil. Fish oil contains omega 3 fatty acids which have been shown to hydrate the skin and make it look healthier. Step 5. Use eye drops. Eye drops can help get rid of that red tired-eye look that comes when you don’t get enough sleep. You can take synthetic tears or use devices that stimulate the natural productions of tears. Step 6. Use Vitamin C serum. A high quality vitamin C serum can help you lighten, tighten, and brighten the skin which will provide you with a more fresh and youthful appearance. #thyroid #thyroidsymptoms #fatigue #tired #tiredeyes #hypothyroidism #thyroidproblems #thyroidawareness Download my free thyroid resources here (including hypothyroid symptoms checklist, the complete list of thyroid lab tests + optimal ranges, foods you should avoid if you have thyroid disease, and more): https://www.restartmed.com/start-here/ Recommended thyroid supplements to enhance thyroid function: - Supplements that everyone with hypothyroidism needs: https://bit.ly/3tekPej - Supplement bundle to help reverse Hashimoto’s: https://bit.ly/3gSY9eJ - Supplements for those without a thyroid and for those after RAI: https://bit.ly/3tb36nZ - Supplements for active hyperthyroidism: https://bit.ly/3t70yHo See ALL of my specialized supplements including protein powders, thyroid supplements, and weight loss products here: https://www.restartmed.com/shop/ Want more from my blog?
