Whole-Body Approaches to Thyroid Dysfunction
In this episode of the DUTCH Podcast, Dr Filomena Trindade, a renowned expert in functional medicine delves into the intricate world of thyroid health and examines its influence on our overall well-being.
Along with DUTCH Podcast 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.
This episode will challenge your understanding of thyroid reference ranges, revealing that these ranges aren’t always reliable indicators of dysfunction and she gives practical lifestyle recommendations to help treat thyroid dysfunction before disease sets in. She advocates for a colorful diet rich in phytonutrients, soluble fiber, and essential minerals like selenium and zinc. Hydration, movement, restful sleep, and joy-inducing hobbies all play key roles in maintaining a harmonious hormonal symphony.
We hope Dr Filomena Trindade’s insights will leave you with a deeper understanding of thyroid dysfunction and a renewed commitment to holistic well-being.
