Exploring the aspect of psychosomatics in hypothyroidism: The WOMED model of body-mind interactions based on musculoskeletal changes, psychological stressors, and low levels of magnesium

We hypothesize that magnesium deficit is facilitated by the presence of physical and psychological stressors. This condition has the potential to negatively influence the function of Complex V of oxidative phosphorylation which relies on magnesium-ATP. Reproductive processes, which have high energetic requirements in women, could thus be affected. The disappearance of the so-called psychosomatic symptoms after our therapeutic scheme brings a new light into this field of medicine and it stresses the importance of holistic handling. Understanding of body-mind interactions is explained by discussing thermodynamics, noesis, Salutogenesis and Resilience, and shamanism.
