endocrine system hormones may be out of balance.
You can also look in the mirror or if you are extremely overweight

big bust, smaller waist and hips the same size as your bust you are a
thyroid type.

What does the Thyroid Do? Balances the Body
Thyroid hormones control metabolism, growth, body temperature, muscle
strength, appetite, and the health of your heart, brain, kidneys, and
reproductive system. If your thyroid doesn't work properly - neither do you!
Raw Cruciferous Vegetables May Inhibit Thyroid Function, eat these more
lightly steamed or roasted rather than raw.

What Causes Your Life & Body to Become Out of Balance?
Your Food Choices
 Too much sugar, caffeine and starch cause blood sugar
imbalance
 Irregular meals cause blood sugar balance
 Insufficient protein reduces thyroid hormone production
Your Lifestyle Causes Your Body To Go Out of Balance
 Staying Up late prevents thyroid cleansing and repair - bed by
10 pm
 Being too busy prevents good self-care
 Unresolved stress taxes the endocrine system - your hormones
are made from cholesterol. When you have unresolved stress
your body robs cholesterol from hormone production to create
cortisol.
So your body is signaled to make more
cholesterol=high cholesterol. Your body is also signaled to hang
on to fat = belly fat.
 Lack of Exercise prevents body rejuvenation & stress relief and
encourages poor circulation.
