EPISODE 40 SHOW NOTES

Did you know that over 27 million Americans are suffering from thyroid disease? According to the American Thyroid Association, over half of those who are, don’t even realize they have a thyroid condition! 

The thyroid plays SUCH a critical role in your overall health, and its connection to your metabolic rate, blood sugar regulation, and even nerve function is fascinating to me. In this episode, I’m discussing what the thyroid really does, and what it can look like when your thyroid isn’t functioning optimally. I’m diving more into several common (and also surprising) symptoms that go hand in hand with hypothyroidism, including issues related to ADHD, gut health, long-term dieting/undereating, chronic stress, toxin exposure, and more

Your thyroid doesn’t just ‘magically’ decide to stop working – there’s a much bigger reason as to WHY it’s not functioning properly. Simply throwing a medication at your hypothyroid symptoms and expecting that to take care of your issues, will never truly fix (or heal) your thyroid.

If you’re currently struggling with frustrating thyroid issues, this episode will empower you with the knowledge and tools to take control of your health. If you’re needing more support, our team would love to help you with a personalized treatment plan that will focus on a root-cause approach, and allow you to find the energy, balance, and joy that you’re looking for in your life!

in this episode, Understanding Hypothyroidism and Its Connection to ADHD, Gut Health, Toxin Exposure and Chronic Stress, we cover: 

• What the thyroid actually does + the 2 main hormones it secretes {3:46}
• The variety of symptoms that can present when your thyroid is working sub-optimally {4:40}
• Six interesting symptoms that typically correlate with hypothyroidism {8:42}
• The fascinating connection between ADHD and hypothyroidism {12:39}
• The most common triggers for hypothyroidism {16:01}
• 3 halogen chemicals that greatly impact thyroid health + ways you can detox from halogen chemicals {18:21}
• The chronic dieting/undereating cycle paired with overexercising that many women get stuck in for so long + how this affects thyroid health {23:25}
• The symbiotic relationship between your gut health and thyroid health {29:38}
• How trauma and chronic stress really affect your thyroid {31:53} 
• Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) + its connection to autoimmune and hypothyroid symptoms {34:02}
• Common medications prescribed to treat hypothyroidism + how this impacts your thyroid {35:17}
• Bloodwork recommended to do in order to evaluate your thyroid + minerals that can support your thyroid {41:14}
