Your thyroid gland is associated with speaking the truth and the color blue/aquamarine. The throat chakra (also known as Vishuddha) is responsible for communication, self-expression, and the ability to speak your personal truth. The truth system represents your throat and the anatomical parts around it and is where your thyroid gland is located.

Your thyroid gland releases hormones that affect most organs in your body. They also impact your metabolism, breathing, heart rate, nervous system, weight, body temperature, energy levels, and so much more.

I know it might be hard to believe, but 80% of my clients have some sort of thyroid issue, men and women alike, and sometimes even kids.

When levels of these hormones are low, your body’s processes can slow down, and weight gain, depression, constipation, fatigue, and other symptoms can occur. When levels are high, your body’s processes speed up, leading to anxiety, excess sweating, weight loss, insomnia, and other symptoms.

Sea vegetables (plants derived from the sea) are nourishing for the thyroid gland. They are rich in minerals like iodine. Iodine is necessary for your thyroid gland to function properly and, therefore, can help support the regulation of your metabolism. You can read more about blue foods on my FREE RESOURCES page.
