Fatigue. Weight gain. Inability to lose weight. Constipation. Hair Loss. Dry skin. Depression. Anxiety. Period troubles. Brain Fog. Poor immune function. The thyroid gland is the body’s thermostat and metabolic regulator. Without it functioning normally, our bodies will have a hard time staying in balance. The good news is your body knows how to heal, it wants to, and it CAN! My colleague, Dr. Jeannie Doig, and I chatted about how we support our patients with thyroid issues.
In this video you’ll learn:
- the function of the thyroid gland and the role it plays in the body
- the three main thyroid hormones and how we as naturopathic doctors are primed to get the full thyroid picture through blood testing
- great suggestions for dietary changes and supplements to help balance hypothyroidism
- how toxicity affects thyroid health and what to look out for in your day to day life
- what the thyroid represents in mind-body medicine
- how stress affects thyroid function. You know I love talking about stress!
Let us know in the comments if you have any success with any of these suggestions – or if you’d like to add anything to this list. We’d love to hear it.
To your healthy, thriving, delightful life,
