The Funk'tional Nutrition Podcast Thyroid Health, Gluten & Hashimoto’s | Ep 125
Erin talks a lot about functional lab testing and supplementation, but don’t underestimate the power of food! In this episode Erin discusses why a food-first approach matters so much not just in overall health, but also in determining stressors behind chronic issues (skin, digestion & gut health, inflammation, autoimmunity). She breaks down underlying stressors related to hypothyroidism, the link between gluten and Hashimoto’s and how taking a food-first approach with your health can make a big impact on your life.
