A symptom of low body temperature
Low Blood Pressure
Low blood pressure can cause lightheadedness, clamminess, anxiety, and others. Low blood pressure symptoms can frequently be made worse when a patient stands very rapidly. Normally, changes take place in the vascular system that enable a person to maintain their blood pressure when changing from a lying or sitting position to a standing position. When these vascular changes are not as responsive as they should be, or when the body has difficulty maintaining normal blood pressure because of low body temperature patterns, or because of decreased blood volumes (due to blood loss, shock, or dehydration), then one might have difficulty in maintaining a normal blood pressure. The WT3 protocol has been seen to alleviate these symptoms of intermittently low blood pressure. It is my feeling that MED leads to decreased vascular tone and decreased vascular responsiveness leading to more difficulty in maintaining adequate blood pressure. It’s a little like using a pair of vice-grips or adjustable pliers that are set at the wrong setting to exert pressure on a particular pipe. If the pliers are set too “loose” even though one may be able to squeeze the handles all the way together, the “jaws” may still be positioned so far apart that they cannot exert the proper pressure upon the pipe to accomplish what is necessary.

The intricate web of the endocrine system
How low thyroid hormone function and adrenal fatigue feed each other through the HPA axis, why TSH testing can miss the problem, and how T3 and adaptogenic herbs can help.
Optimize Thyroid – Adrenal Cross-talk
How thyroid and adrenal hormones interact throughout the body, why the symptoms can seem contradictory, and how body temperature, T3, and adaptogenic herbs can help.
What is Adrenal Fatigue and Why is it Such a Controversial Diagnosis?
Adrenal fatigue, or dysfunction, is a condition (group of symptoms) that occur when your adrenal glands are having trouble keeping up with the demands being made on them.
A Checklist for Adrenals
Stress from modern life, chronic illness or endocrine imbalance can lead to adrenal fatigue. Adrenals are sensitive to stress just as the thyroid gland is, so if the thyroid is out of balance, it’s likely the adrenals are also.
Where this comes from. A 2015 interview with Dr. Wilson on low body temperature and thyroid hormone expression is indexed on PubMed Central (Integrative Medicine: A Clinician's Journal). Wilson's Temperature Syndrome is not accepted by every medical body — read the disagreement in full.
