Let's Talk Thyroid
A conversation with my doctor, Dr Elen ApThomas about thyroid health | Ep 7
Finding a doctor to help you manage your thyroid health can be more difficult than it should be. I'm blessed to have had Dr Elen ApThomas helping me for about 15 years manage my thyroid health. I'm honoured she agreed to talk with me on the podcast.
We cover topics like:
- How to find a doctor that understands thyroid health - what to look for and where to look.
- What you can do to get the thyroid tests you need and why doctors might not easily be able to refer you for them.
- 1 simple food you can juice to improved your digestive health.
- Different kinds of thyroid medications.
- Why gluten & dairy aren't recommended for auto-immune thyroid disease.
- What can help with weight loss.
- Fasting - who should/shouldn't fast and where to start if you want to give it a go.
- What can trigger an auto-immune response? What is your immune system trying to protect yourself from?
- Dr ApThomas' top simple recommendation for managing stress.
