Low Thyroid Symptoms: Brain Fog & Forgetfulness?

Brain fog, an inability to think straight, forgetfulness, they are all symptoms of thyroid issues. Simply because the same pathway of the body that creates part of your thyroid pathway is necessary for sleep and weight cycle, as well as short-term memory. This spot in your brain is called the hippocampus and it is the first part of your brain that degenerates when you have Alzheimer’s disease. They are starting to call Alzheimer’s type three diabetes because it involves the way you process sugar and insulin. Apparently, insulin in large spikes can harm that spot in your brain. When that spot in your brain does not work right it will also throw off your thyroid. A lot of people who say “I have thyroid symptoms” also say I have brain fog, I cannot remember things, and I also cannot sleep. It is because it is all affecting the same spot in your brain which is the hippocampus.

Potential low thyroid symptoms:
