    Why is This Program the need of the hour?

    Thyroid disease and other autoimmune diseases have steadily been on the rise, and allopathic treatment is currently limited to drugs and surgery that have potentially serious side effects without addressing the root causes of the disorder.

    Did you know?

    1. More than 12% of the U.S. population will develop a thyroid condition during their lifetime.

    2. An estimated 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease.

    3. Up to 60% of those with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition.

    4. Women are 5 to 8 times more likely than men to have thyroid problems.

    5. 1 woman in 8 will develop a thyroid disorder during her lifetime.

    6. Undiagnosed thyroid disease may put patients at risk for certain serious conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis and infertility.

    7. Pregnant women with undiagnosed or inadequately treated hypothyroidism have an increased risk of miscarriage, preterm delivery, and severe developmental problems in their children.  

    Could you have a low or UNDERACTIVE THYROID and not know it?

    Autoimmune conditions affecting the thyroid have been on the rise, and can contribute to fatigue, weight gain, aches and pains, low moods, low sex drive, problems with concentration, and many other physical and emotional symptoms.

    Symptoms like these can impact your work performance and your relationships. If you’re suffering from any of them now or have experienced them from time to time, you know how they can color your daily experience of life.

    The thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland located in the neck, just below the Adam’s apple. In spite of being the size of a walnut, it is extremely powerful and important for health. It is a part of your endocrine system, a collection of glands that are hormone producing, and include your thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, ovaries, testicles, etc.

    Optimal functioning of Thyroid is critical for healthy life. Someone who has had the thyroid gland removed will need a daily dose of thyroid hormone for life.

     

    The Thyroid regulates temperature, metabolism, and cellular function in every part of the body. It affects every single one of your 100 trillion cells. You can think of it like a gas pedal for the body.



    "There are a large number of different possible symptoms that can result from low thyroid"

    Here are some more physical signs that go along with low thyroid:

    Low basal body temperature. The normal temperature should be at least 98.6, if you are more than one full degree below that consistently, then that is unusual and could be a sign of thyroid issues.

    Swelling of the hands or feet, eyelids or bags under the eyes, or the face – the thyroid plays a very important role in fluid balance  

    Diminished reflexes in the lower legs and/or ankles

    Enlargement, asymmetry or nodules in the thyroid gland – these can be palpated during examination of the patient

    Extremely dry, rough or coarse skin

    Significant muscle weakness, in severe cases

    ISN’T THERE A PILL FOR THAT?

    The standard treatment for low thyroid involves daily use of the synthetic thyroid hormone levothyroxine (Levothroid, Synthroid, others)… but there are two significant problems with this approach.

    PROBLEM #1: THERE CAN BE SIDE EFFECTS

    Determining the proper dosage of this drug can take time, and you have to take the drug for LIFE. The drug can have interactions with other drugs, and there are potential side effects, including:

    • Fever and Hot Flashes

    • Sensitivity to heat and Sweating

    • Headache, Nervousness and Irritability

    • Nausea and Insomnia

    • Changes in appetite or changes in weight

    • Changes in menstrual periods

    • Temporary hair loss  

    Problem #2: Drugs Don’t Address the ROOT CAUSES of Low Thyroid

    Since drugs can’t address the root causes of low thyroid, they may alleviate symptoms while the underlying pathology continues to progress.

    This means that you are likely to experience worsening health issues over time that may become harder to treat.

    Obviously, this is UNACCEPTABLE.

    THE ROOT CAUSES OF THYROID ARE...

    To efficiently tackle thyroid disorders, you have to know the 12 potential root causes, and which of them are specifically affecting you:

    Root Cause #1:
     GENETIC PREDISPOSITION

    GENETIC TENDENCY is not DESTINY, and there’s a lot that you can do to prevent the manifestation of thyroid disease, even with a genetic predisposition.

    Root Cause #2:
     NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES

    Common nutritional deficiency of Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Magnesium, or Zinc can contribute to thyroid disorders.

    Root Cause #3:
    LEAKY GUT SYNDROME

    Leaky gut syndrome is one of the most common causes of thyroid disorder, and has to be addressed as part of an effective treatment.

    Root Cause #4:
     DIETARY FACTORS

    There is a category of foods that are known as “goitrogens,” and these foods can interfere with the production of thyroid hormone.

    Root Cause #5:
    IODINE AND HALOGENS

    Too much or too little iodine in your body can cause thyroid problems. If Halogen levels are too high they can affect the function of your thyroid.

    Root Cause #6:
    FOOD INTOLERANCES

    Symptoms of food intolerances or sensitivities builds up over time it can affect your thyroid or other organs or glands.

    Root Cause #7:
     CHRONIC STRESS AND REACTION

    The problem is that the stress of modern life leads to people being in a “fight or flight” state most of the time.  

    Root Cause #8:
    ADRENAL HORMONE IMBALANCE

    Optimal adrenal function in addition to good thyroid function is a prerequisite to having full energy and vitality.

    Root Cause #9:
    INFECTIONS

    Chronic infections can always contribute to inflammation in the body and revving up your immune system and predisposing it to autoimmune disease.

    Root Cause #10:
    CHRONIC INFLAMMATION

    Many of the root causes that we have just talked about can trigger inflammation in the body. These include food intolerances, infections, and leaky gut syndrome, injuries, dietary indiscretion, and a pro-inflammatory diet.

    Root Cause #11:
     TOXINS

    Many toxins have been found specifically to affect thyroid function:

    • PCBs may increase Hashimoto’s antibodies
    • Pesticides can accelerate the breakdown of thyroid hormone
    • Fertilizers may inhibit iodine uptake

    Root Cause #12:
     MERCURY

    Mercury is a big driver of autoimmune disease, the number one cause of thyroid dysfunction. Your thyroid – which is great at absorbing available iodine in your body – is also quick to absorb and store mercury.

    To comprehensively address these 12 potential root causes of thyroid dysfunction,
    The Ayurveda Experience now offers you:

    The “Science of Life” that is Ayurveda, provides a holistic understanding of the underlying causes of thyroid disorders, and gives us natural common sense approaches to create balance and get long-term relief. Combined with the insights of modern integrative and natural medicine, it provides a tremendous amount of support. When you address the underlying causes of these imbalances:

    ✔ You can restore peace and equanimity in your mind and emotions.

    ✔ You’ll also improve your overall health, strengthen your digestion, balance your weight, support a healthy libido, and reduce the effects of premature aging.

    Through the combination of Ayurvedic wisdom and modern integrative medicine that you’ll learn in this course, you’ll finally have a path to address thyroid disorders through natural modalities of nutrition, herbs, and lifestyle practices.

    “Long before Evolution via Natural Selection became the dominant paradigm of biology, traditional cultures developed sophisticated systems for understanding nature and human health. In India this system is called Ayurveda, which means “knowledge of life.” Dr. Akil has integrated our original human diet (Paleo) with the insights of Ayurveda to offer a framework whereby we may optimize our nutrition and lifestyle.”

    Robb Wolf, New York Times–bestselling author of The Paleo Solution

    • The most common correctable root causes of thyroid disease that are habitually overlooked.

    • How to approach these conditions from an Ayurvedic perspective and note the distinctions between the Vata, Pitta, and Kapha subtypes. Each type will each have a different emphasis in treatment.

    AND WHY SHOULD YOU ORDER THIS PROGRAM NOW?

    There is not one, but many reasons for you to begin with this course, not just today, but right away.

    COST ADVANTAGE

    Of course, the cost advantage with the introductory discount is huge and why would you not want to study such an interesting, in-depth and useful program and also get to save so much on your investment? The cost of consulting with Dr. Akil directly would obviously far exceed the investment in this course, and yet, when you watch these videos Dr. Akil will give you his best in an organized step-by-step structure.

    CONVENIENCE

    If you have a busy schedule or other practical limitations, other classes might be too far away, too expensive or impractical due to time constraints. With this course, you face none of these issues – you learn where you want to, when you want to and at a price which is really affordable. (Doubt that? Check out the prices of courses around and calculate the investment you need to make in terms of money and time, and of course, the ambiguity of the quality of content that you’ll get. The cost of making all the effort of going to a class only to find little to learn or implement, well… is huge.)

    HD VIDEOS

    Get instant HD access to the course on The Ayurveda Experience platform. Simply log in and access all your courses anytime. Watch them on any device: desktop, smartphone and tablet. You can easily download the videos to your device so you can watch them without internet connection. Watch your course in the comfort of your home or while you’re on the go!

    CONFIDENCE

    Also, most importantly, finding a real, authentic practitioner with years of clinical experience is challenging. Not only does Dr. Akil offer you this, but he is coming from the Ayurvedic perspective. So instead of cobbling together bits and pieces of research to create a quick order “detox system,” he rests his prognosis in the ancient science of Ayurveda that has been verified by modern science and integrative medicine.

    FAQs

    Is this course useful for me if I’m already on medical treatment for thyroid?

    Yes, this course is for everyone – it will not interfere with your treatment. Dr. Akil is not just an Ayurvedic practitioner but also an M.D. from Harvard, which means that he knows how to seamlessly combine the best of both worlds without interfering with one or the other, or causing side effects.

    Please note that you should discuss taking any herbal supplements with your practitioner since you could possibly have an allergy for a certain herb.

    The course is also informative for those who don’t have thyroid disorders, but very supportive for those who are going through this condition.

    I don’t have a thyroid disorder, why should I care? How will this course help me?

    Autoimmune conditions, and particularly thyroid conditions, are on the rise. Even if you don’t have a diagnosed thyroid disorder, symptoms might be present without you realizing it.

    Apart from focusing on thyroid conditions and how to address them, Dr. Akil’s approach to a diet and lifestyle can be taken up by anyone who wants to live a healthier life. These recommendations are valuable for each person alike, as they will help you make practical, valuable and effective changes to your diet and lifestyle.

    As the saying goes: prevention is better than cure!

    Can I ask the doctor any questions?

    We’ll contact Dr. Akil with your questions and share his response with you.

    What happens after I buy the course?

    If you’ve purchased the Silver version, you’ll receive your login details by email within minutes. You can then access the course online and start watching the videos. You can watch them directly or download them. You can download the text companion in PDF format.

    If you’ve purchased the Gold version, we’ll send the physical DVDs and book to your doorstep. You can watch the program with a DVD player on your TV, or on your computer or laptop.

    Is there a final date to this course?

    No. Once you purchase the program, you will have lifetime access to it. You can watch it as many times as you want and download the videos so you’ll always have them. The only thing that ends is the introductory discount!

    Do I need a WiFi or internet connection?

    Yes, you will need an internet connection to watch the videos. You can also watch them over mobile data when you’re on the go – but your experience will depend on the stability of your connection. If you’d like to watch while traveling, we recommend downloading the videos over WiFi at home and watching the saved videos on your phone or tablet. Once you have the videos downloaded, you won’t need WiFi.

    What if I don’t like the course?

    The Thyroid Detox and General Thyroid Diets

    Because of the crucial importance of a healthy thyroid, Dr. Akil developed a 2-part Thyroid diet program specifically to support his clients.

    Part 1: The Thyroid DETOX Diet

     

    This is a “reset” diet that enables your body to detoxify, helps reduce inflammation, and begin the process of healing your thyroid.

    Part 2: The Thyroid Diet

     

    This is an ongoing meal program that will help you to lose weight, stimulate the function of your thyroid, and impact all the factors impairing and affecting the optimal performance of your thyroid.

    In each of these diets, you’ll learn exactly which foods to eat and which foods to temporarily avoid.

    You’ll also learn how to determine exactly which foods you have an intolerance for, and should avoid on an ongoing basis to reverse chronic systemic inflammation.

    “Long before Evolution via Natural Selection became the dominant paradigm of biology, traditional cultures developed sophisticated systems for understanding nature and human health. In India this system is called Ayurveda, which means “knowledge of life.” Dr. Akil has integrated our original human diet (Paleo) with the insights of Ayurveda to offer a framework whereby we may optimize our nutrition and lifestyle.”

    Robb Wolf, New York Times–bestselling author of The Paleo Solution

    AND WHY SHOULD YOU ORDER THIS PROGRAM NOW?

    There is not one, but many reasons for you to begin with this course, not just today, but right away.

    COST ADVANTAGE

    Of course, the cost advantage with the introductory discount is huge and why would you not want to study such an interesting, in-depth and useful program and also get to save so much on your investment? The cost of consulting with Dr. Akil directly would obviously far exceed the investment in this course, and yet, when you watch these videos Dr. Akil will give you his best in an organized step-by-step structure.

    CONVENIENCE

    If you have a busy schedule or other practical limitations, other classes might be too far away, too expensive or impractical due to time constraints. With this course, you face none of these issues – you learn where you want to, when you want to and at a price which is really affordable. (Doubt that? Check out the prices of courses around and calculate the investment you need to make in terms of money and time, and of course, the ambiguity of the quality of content that you’ll get. The cost of making all the effort of going to a class only to find little to learn or implement, well… is huge.)

    HD VIDEOS

You can easily download the videos to your device so you can watch them without internet connection. Watch your course in the comfort of your home or while you’re on the go!

    CONFIDENCE

    Also, most importantly, finding a real, authentic practitioner with years of clinical experience is challenging. Not only does Dr. Akil offer you this, but he is coming from the Ayurvedic perspective. So instead of cobbling together bits and pieces of research to create a quick order “detox system,” he rests his prognosis in the ancient science of Ayurveda that has been verified by modern science and integrative medicine.

    FAQs

    Is this course useful for me if I’m already on medical treatment for thyroid?

    Yes, this course is for everyone – it will not interfere with your treatment. Dr. Akil is not just an Ayurvedic practitioner but also an M.D. from Harvard, which means that he knows how to seamlessly combine the best of both worlds without interfering with one or the other, or causing side effects.

    Please note that you should discuss taking any herbal supplements with your practitioner since you could possibly have an allergy for a certain herb.

    The course is also informative for those who don’t have thyroid disorders, but very supportive for those who are going through this condition.

    I don’t have a thyroid disorder, why should I care? How will this course help me?

    Autoimmune conditions, and particularly thyroid conditions, are on the rise. Even if you don’t have a diagnosed thyroid disorder, symptoms might be present without you realizing it.

    Apart from focusing on thyroid conditions and how to address them, Dr. Akil’s approach to a diet and lifestyle can be taken up by anyone who wants to live a healthier life. These recommendations are valuable for each person alike, as they will help you make practical, valuable and effective changes to your diet and lifestyle.

    As the saying goes: prevention is better than cure!

    Can I ask the doctor any questions?

    We’ll contact Dr. Akil with your questions and share his response with you.

    Do I need a WiFi or internet connection?

    Yes, you will need an internet connection to watch the videos.
