Thyroid health - a functional perspective
Thyroid dysfunction has been described as 'the great pretender' masquerading as almost any condition that you can imagine.
Common symptoms associated with thyroid dysfunction include: weight gain, low body temperature, lack of energy, chronic constipation, elevated cholesterol, hair loss, sub optimal immune function, infertility and sex hormone imbalances.
During this seminar we will discuss:
- how the thyroid works
- signs and symptoms
- the adrenal connection
- the role of systemic inflammation
- basic tests that you can do at home to evaluate your thyroid function
- the impact that diet, lifestyle and supplementation can play in supporting overall thyroid health.
There will be a questions and answers session at the end.
