Dr. Filomena Trindade, a renowned expert in functional medicine, takes listeners on a journey through the fascinating complexities of thyroid dysfunction and its far-reaching impact on our hormonal symphony. Along with our host, Dr. Jaclyn Smeaton, she illustrates the interconnectedness of the HPA axis, sex hormones, and thyroid function, painting a comprehensive picture of how these elements affect one another.
