Let's Talk Thyroid Brain & Thyroid Health | Dr Philippe Douyon, Neurologist | Ep 16
Brain fog, lack of concentration & focus and fatigue are neurological symptoms that are also common thyroid disease symptoms. Dr Philippe Douyon says in this episode, that in his neurology practise, that many of his patients present with these neurological symptoms and have not been diagnosed with thyroid issues. Once tested and treated for the underlying thyroid condition, these neurological symptoms resolve.
In this conversation about the brain & thyroid health connection, we cover topics such as:
- The connection between thyroid and brain health.
- The difference in brain health problems for those with Hashimoto’s v Graves
- When to see a neurologist
- Do we lose brain function over time with thyroid conditions?
- The metaphysical & personality connection with thyroid health.
- Diet for good brain health.
- The type of exercise that's good for brain & thyroid health.
- The impact of stress. Did you know that stress kills neurons?
- Dr Douyon's 5 top tips for brain health.
You'll love Dr Douyon's whole person, collaborative approach to brain health. His advice is practical, positive and gives me hope for my long term thyroid/brain health!

Philippe Douyon, MD is a Board Certified Neurologist who completed his residency in Neurology at New York University and fellowship at New York Presbyterian-Cornell in Clinical Neurophysiology. He has spent the last several years caring for people with neurological disorders with a special emphasis on those with a history of epilepsy, seizures, and non epileptic events.
After spending years witnessing the deleterious effects of neurological disorders, watching people take medications that at best ameliorate symptoms, but do little to modify the underlying disease process, and observing the delicate balancing act between side effects and symptom relief, he began to realize that we could do better for the people we serve.
Therefore, he decided to create a therapeutic, supportive environment, aimed at using a multimodal approach to improve the lives of people with neurological disorders and promote brain health.
