In this episode, I sit down with Osteopath and Naturopath, Dr. Elizabeth Bright, to discuss the crucial importance of addressing thyroid and adrenal function when experiencing all hormonal imbalances, as well as a host of other health conditions. Dr. Bright explains the significance of a high-fat diet as well as iodine to support the thyroid, as well as understanding the role of the thyroid as being the MASTER regulator of the entire body.

In this discussion we tackle the following and more:

  • The basics of the thyroid that are not usually explained by your doctor
  • Why is the thyroid the control center of the body?
  • Why is hyper-thyroidism just a version of hypo?
  • Are conventional blood markers giving your doctor the whole story?
  • Can you have good blood markers and still feel unwell?
  • What throws the thyroid into a stressed state?
  • Symptoms or conditions she sees in practice related back to the thyroid
  • Why aren't the proper tests administered for optimal diagnostics?
  • Why is fat so crucial for healthy thyroid/adrenal function?
  • Why are women having such a tough time through menopause?
  • Is there such a thing as perimenopause?
  • Why are young girls starting their menstrual cycles so young?
  • How does the thyroid affect puberty?
  • What do women see post pregnancy in terms of thyroid dysfunction?
  • Why is iodine so important? Why we shouldn't fear supplementing it?
  • Listener questions on HRT, Libido, how the thyroid responds to season change, and more
