Parasites EMF poisons Chemtrails vaccines in food my guess.
Menopausal women usually go colder and so do most older adults in general. As the hypothalamus gets quirky. So something is slow killing our hypothalamus.
Also hypothyroid makes you colder. Could be iodine deficient due to not enough in our food plus all the bad halides like bromine and fluoride in the food and water supply.
I studied with Dr. M.T. Morter, Jr. an internationally known chiropractor, from 2010-2012. He said the hypothalamus is shut down by trauma. We are assaulted regularly by many forms of trauma physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Yes,likely, as the body temperature lowers the body doesn’t respond to inflammation as efficiently, it seems. Many frequencies surround us, we cannot control all of them, but we can control our very own thoughts and are very own words goodness, kindness, love that we put out every breath and distance from toxic peopleASAP
Low blood pressure may often be due to not enough salt (use a high-quality one like Celtic or Baja Gold) and/or not enough water. It could also be due to an imbalance between sodium and potassium or damage to one of those symporters.
The December 29, 2024 post by Matt Cormier, who writes the SUBSTACK “health uncensored”, titled "Body Temperatures in Decline: The Majority Of The Population Can No Longer Maintain Healthy 98.6°F!!" is the most important headline of the year, so far !
Matt continues, “Think you’re healthy? Think again! - One of the most accurate gauges of overall health and immune function is your resting body temperature—that’s why it’s known as a vital sign – Yet research shows most people today can no longer maintain the once-standard, healthy body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). Our collective body temperatures have dropped globally.
HEY ! that's going to cause all of us a bunch of trouble! Let’s look at it logically: (I did a short note on it yesterday, but I didn't explain very well).
Here's a better explanation of the situation:
Background:
Body Temperature is maintained by the activity of our brown fat, which burns glucose, cholesterol and fatty acids to generate heat, keeping our temperature steady. By burning cholesterol, fatty acids and glucose, the brown fat also helps to maintain normal levels of glucose and cholesterol and “cleans up” excess fatty acids, which otherwise would be deposited in our fat cells: thus, brown fat activity prevents us from gaining weight, providing that we don’t eat so much that we overwhelm the system.
The way it works:
The hypothalamus gets messages from our skin, about the ambient temperature outside the body and if it seems to the hypothalamus that we are losing heat, it sends a message via the sympathetic nervous system, to activate the brown fat. The sympathetic nerves secrete Noradrenaline, to stimulate the fat cells. However these cells need Thyroid 3 hormone to work and in the absence of that hormone, they remain dormant.
So an individual’s inability to maintain a temperature of 37°C (98.4 Fahrenheit) in normal weather, suggests non-function of the brown fat, a situation which can only be due to low T3, because the sympathetic system is 100% reliable and in the human body, there is no shortage of cholesterol and fatty acids, for the brown fat to burn.
By definition, a shortage of T3 is hypothyroidism, so the finding that the general population’s average body temperature is below 37°C (98.4°F) indicates an increase in the prevalence of Hypothyroidism, worldwide.
Hypothyroidism:
Hypothyroidism comes in 3 “flavours”-
(1) True Hypothyroidism, in which the thyroid gland is unable to secrete sufficient T4 to comply with the body’s requirements, either due to abnormalities within the thyroid itself or to deficiency of thyroid hormone ingredients such as Iodine or Selenium.
(2) “Central” Hypothyroidism, in which the pituitary gland fails to secrete the TSH which triggers activity of the gland.
(3) Intracellular Hypothyroidism (the “Low T3 Syndrome”), in which the cells fail to convert T4 into T3 and thus, have no T3 to export into the blood.
The cause of Intracellular Hypothyroidism:
When the hypothalamus becomes aware of stress (of whatever origin, be it physical, metabolic or psychological), it secretes adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which signals the adrenal glands to secrete the stress hormone, cortisol.
On entering the cells, cortisol blocks the action of Deiodinase 1 enzyme, thus preventing conversion of the thyroid hormone, T4, into T3.
Cortisol also activates Deiodinase 3, which converts T4 into “reverse T3” and converts any pre-existing T3 into T2.
Thus, stress results in complete removal of T3 from inside the cells.
So stress is the reason for reduced body temperature !
• If there is no T3 in the peripheral cells, the only source of T3 for the blood is the thyroid gland itself and its output of T3 is very small. Thus the T3 content of the blood falls so low that the brown fat cannot get enough T3 to keep functioning.
• When the brown fat is unable to burn cholesterol and fatty acids, it does not generate heat and the body temperature goes down.
So it’s as simple as that: currently, the entire world is subject to psychological stress, as a result of the climate change threat, war, international non-cooperation and uncertainty as to human viability in the future.
CAVEAT re. the low T3 syndrome:
In this variety of hypothyroidism, the operative problem is insufficient T3 in the blood: non-function of the brown fat is only one of the problems it causes: all the cells in the body become deficient in T3 and cease to function normally: those cells (like heart muscle cells) which don't produce T3 for themselves are particularly affected.
The result is generalized fatigue, “brain fog”, reduced efficiency of the heart muscle (sometimes leading to heart failure) and many other effects.
Otherwise stated, the low T3 syndrome sets the stage for development of many other problems.
The bottom line:
Worldwide stress is the reason for the reduction of average body temperature which Matt Cormier is telling us about.
💯 makes sense to me. Thanks for the breakdown. There have to be other sources of stress besides psychological. Sources like EMFs and other types of global contamination also provoke the stress / cortisol reaction.
Thank you so much for that explaination. I have a low body temp and have been having a few symptoms of hyperthyroid even though in the normal range 0.83. I take levothyroxine and last year my tsh was lower almost out of the normal range and worse symptoms so doc has me cutting levo in half 2 days a week. Had to fight to get the T3 test done last year. Will have to double check it bc it seemed off at the time.
Mayday! Mayday! – There is a 1st class, a-grade "typo" in what I just sent you: the active thyroid hormone is T3 ........... rT3 is the one that doesn't work!
your story is a very common one: check "stress causes hypothyroidism", at https://gervaisharry.substack.com/p/stress-causes-hypothyroidism – in brief, you must have some sort of stress (anything from being overweight, to social problems) and what is happening is that you have a high output of the "anti-stress" hormone, cortisol.
The cortisol goes 2 things: (1) it stops production of T3 (rT3, the active thyroid) hormone, from T4 (2) it changes any T3 in your cells into T2, which does not work.
The result is zero T3 inside all the cells in your body and since the T3 in the blood comes from the cells, it falls as low as possible.
Your brown fat, which burns glucose, fatty acids and cholesterol to keep your temperature up, needs T3 and if the T3 in the blood is insufficient, the brown fat stops working and you get cold.
Your brain needs T3, so you will begin to suffer from fuzzy thinking of (brain fog).
All your muscles (especially your heart muscles, need T3, so you get really really tired.
Since the brown fat isn't burning cholesterol, fatty acids and glucose, you get fatter.
WHEN YOU TAKE T4, your cells change it into reverse T3, due to cortisol's effect, so T4 does not help.
I checked my T3 ftom last yesr tests and it was high, out of the normal range. After cutting the levothyroxine in half 2 days it went down and still high in normal range.
It wasn't tested this year. So it seems there is more than enough T3. Makes no sense to me that my tsh is low normal but my T3 is high. 🤔
interesting; definitely needs to be explored. seems like its one more thing in a cluster of symptoms caused by modernity and all the unnatural exposures that entails. however I do believe that their can be some small variations in what's 'normal' for any given individual. (same with all our 'vital' measurements, HR, BP, optimal amount of sleep, etc)
(the allopathic doctor who tries to say lower temp is because of healthier lifestyles is patently absurd. come on, people in Western countries have never been unhealthier.)
the cited phenomenon of autism symptoms subsiding with fever is pretty rare and I've heard several explanations of it over the years. it too is a fascinating topic.
I really feel like you are hitting on the heart of metabolic health and I am looking forward to hearing the methods you use to improve your metabolic health.
During Covid I was seeing a physical therapist for a brain injury. Every time I entered the office I had my temperature taken. It was never as high as 98 IIRC, much less 98.6. I have no clue what my normal is now. Of greater concern is how high must it be if I’m actually running a fever?
Intriguing overall. Can the cause really be so simple as excessive stress? If so, then raising body temperature becomes a much easier process. I hope you're right on this. We can all undertake lifestyle changes to bring down stress levels. Thanks!
My doctor knew over 40 years ago and told me this. I was one of the exceptions, mine was higher. He was right. I guess this wasn't passed on to the next generation of doctors.
I notice comments recommending Iodine supplements. Several months ago, with the warning of nuclear war and using Utah's Real Salt exclusively, I took Dr. Mercola's iodine. I broke out into huge painful acne. Never again.
Also, the thermometers used today may be the culprit. I say this because Kaiser clinics are known for dishonestly calibrating their Blood Pressure machines. This method ensures a high blood pressure reading which, in turn, your doctor will prescribe drugs. Please comment on this.
Agreed. I’ve been on pub med several times a week researching this. I even tried stopping eating completely for 10 days and didn’t lose 1 pound. I’m barely touching the surface of what I’ve been struggling with: thyroid problems, PCOS, nonalcoholic fatty liver, yes, gallbladder out, yes, sleep issues, low temperature, etc.
I’ve been tested for toxins and heavy metals.
I was negative for Lyme disease three different times until I went to a specialist. Not only am I positive, but I have antibodies to almost every bug in the wilderness! My report came back on 14 pages. Anyway, my masters is in public health and I’m certainly interested in this topic. Thank you for your reply.
To put it briefly, our immune functions have been compromised, specifically innate immunity.
Things like toxin exposures, antibiotics, microplastics, stress and trauma etc have damaged us so we don’t mount a proper response to infections anymore.
This facilitates viral transmission.
Our immune systems have become suppressed and the infections were harboring exist in a latent and chronic state. The problem is that once we get healthy, immune system mounts a proper inflammatory response to those latent infections and then all hell breaks loose.
A person goes from the frying pan to the fire in terms of symptom presentation .
We’ve all become chronically ill, and there’s no easier way to tell them to take your resting body temperature .
Are you sub clinical hypothyroidic? I am. But nobody will treat it. Even our Golden Retriever is and is getting much better with the lowest dose of Synthroid.
Do you have any Parathyroid trouble? The only reason I ask is you have some symptoms the same as my wife.
Could you have neurological sleep apnea?
Have you ever had surgery for neck vertebrae trouble?
Yes. My T4 was bouncing around the absolute lowest number of “normal” and slightly under so all western doctors said “you’re normal“. Doctors are supposed to listen to our symptoms, but most just look at test results. So, believe it or not, my last GP told me I need to find a functional medicine doctor. She said, they do what you want to try. So, I ended up finding a fantastic group (Personal Care Physicians in Newburyport, Massachusetts )
They did all kinds of tests that regular doctors don’t do. they found several smoking guns. Functional Medicine doctors try and find the CAUSE of disease. they practice medicine by supporting your body and all its systems, so the body can heal itself. I can honestly say that it’s taken a couple years… But I am just now beginning to actually feel better. While I didn’t have any heavy metals or toxins that we could find, I did have a boatload of antibodies for many many tick-borne blood pathogens.
My Functional Medicine doctor has his MD from Harvard, but also uses other forms of medicine, not recognized by med school. They saw my “low”T4 and said this is not normal. They immediately put me on both armor thyroid and levothyroxine. my G.I. system started working normally within the first week. That was huge.
I highly recommend your wife find a Functional Medicine doctor near you. Many of them take health insurance.
Obviously, the majority of the population suffers from thyroid and mitochondrial dysfunction. Instead of embracing the "new normal" we need to eliminate the poisons in our environment and figure out how to get healthy. No wonder so many Americans are overweight or obese, 74% the last time I checked. No wonder we're so tired, long Covid, brain fog . . . everything related to low thyroid, which cause cellular mitochondrial dysfunction and results in a low metabolism.
Dr. Joseph Mercola just released a new book called "Your Guide to Metabolic Health" and it's based roughly on the work of the late Ray Peat. Mercola has added his own knowledge and expertise to Ray Peat's work for a more complete look at metabolic health. I think it's a great book and it has helped me. I've been trying to implement the changes and I am slowly raising my own body temperature a little at a time.

Precisely this!!
Yes Adulterated Food and Big Pharma’s poisons.
Clot shots restrict blood flow ; therefore it’s logical that with less blood flow, the colder the body would become.
Low Blood Pressure?.. What is most likely to accrue
What are your thoughts, Clara?
Low blood pressure may often be due to not enough salt (use a high-quality one like Celtic or Baja Gold) and/or not enough water. It could also be due to an imbalance between sodium and potassium or damage to one of those symporters.

YOU NEED TO TAKE T3 (sustained-release capsules,from a compounding pharmacy): locate a functional medicine MD, tell him/her your story, show a copy of my article at https://gervaisharry.substack.com/p/stress-causes-hypothyroidism and also, have a look at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/370772568_INTRACELLULAR_HYPOTHYROIDISM and show it to the functional medicine person.
NOTE: expect to need to continue on SRT3 until you are completely stress-free, because any stress will return you to your previous state.
I checked my T3 ftom last yesr tests and it was high, out of the normal range. After cutting the levothyroxine in half 2 days it went down and still high in normal range.
It wasn't tested this year. So it seems there is more than enough T3. Makes no sense to me that my tsh is low normal but my T3 is high. 🤔
The best thing to do is visit with your functional medicine doctor, who should be able to explain the whole scenario to you.

Episode 2 will be a deep dive and comprehensive presentation on what’s causing this issue with widespread thermoregulation problems.
Why do you think?
Food! Refined flour?
I go over this in-depth in episode 2.
It’s complex.
When are you releasing episode 2?
This weekend
fantastic been studying the impact of refined flour specifically and am enjoying your wonderful findings.
Thank you for this information.
You’re welcome.
Please share it and raise awareness.
They may have a new body temp but it’s not normal.
My doctor knew over 40 years ago and told me this. I was one of the exceptions, mine was higher. He was right. I guess this wasn't passed on to the next generation of doctors.

Fantastic report. I’ve been finding everything that you presented. I noticed that I suddenly began gaining weight and was eating less!
I am working with a functional medicine doctor but haven’t been able to “flip the switch “ back to normal. Thank you for putting this together.
It’s not necessarily always weight gain.
Metabolic disease and low body temperature can present itself in many different ways.
I don’t mean to come as arrogant, but I don’t think people realize how important and big this is.
There are so many people posting about trivial nonsense just for clicks, and than really significant topics of discussion get lost in the clutter.
Agreed. I’ve been on pub med several times a week researching this. I even tried stopping eating completely for 10 days and didn’t lose 1 pound.

Thanks, I will read Dr. Ray Peat's work.
Dr. Joseph Mercola just released a new book called "Your Guide to Metabolic Health" and it's based roughly on the work of the late Ray Peat.

That's wonderful! Thank you for sharing.
I think the title of Mercola's newest book is actually Your Guide to Cellular Health, published on December 10, 2024.
