- Labor and DeliveryUnder conditions of severe stress, (like childbirth, divorce, or the death of a loved one) the metabolism can slow down, and the body temperature drops as a coping mechanism. After the stress has passed, the metabolism and body temperature are supposed to come back up to normal. However, sometimes they do not and the body can get stuck in “conservation mode” and the debilitating symptoms can persist indefinitely and often worsen under subsequent stressors.

- HypothyroidismHypothyroidism is like the first gate on the path is being locked. In hypothyroidism, not enough T4 is being supplied by the thyroid gland or thyroid medicine (TSH test is high). Consequently, there is no way for there to be adequate T3 stimulation in the nucleus. In Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome there is an adequate supply of thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland or medicine (THS test is normal) but there is some other locked gate along the path that is preventing adequate T3 stimulation in the nucleus. The result is the same in both cases: same slow metabolism, same low body temperature, same symptoms.
