In this episode hear great content from Dr Amie Hornaman, ‘The Thyroid Fixer’ about how to optimise your thyroid health and understand some of the triggers that can ‘flip’ the autoimmune switch
The thyroid gland and its role in the body can be massively misunderstood but as the ‘master gland’ it has a pivotal role so understanding the stressors and ways you can support and optimise your thyroid health can make a huge difference to your overall health and well-being and Dr Amie shares invaluable advice that everyone can use to effectively support and optimise their thyroid health
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

The thyroid gland is the master gland in your body, controlling cells, organs, and their function
Any type of stressor can turn on the autoimmune switch
The gluten molecule is very similar to the thyroid gland so eating gluten can trigger  autoimmune attacks
Insulin resistance can be related to a non-optimised thyroid gland
Carbs and processed foods increase insulin resistance but there are good and bad ways to do low carbs
Thyroid glandulars and synthetics can be used to improve thyroid hormone levels
It’s about replacing the hormones that are no longer being made by your body
Nutrients like iodine, selenium and magnesium are supportive nutrients that help with the conversion of T3 to T4
When you are experiencing symptoms it’s a road sign to look into things more
If you are in the beginning stages its’ possible to treat naturally, in the later stage’s medication will be part of the treatment
Suppressing the immune system can trigger a variety of viruses to express themselves
Chemical toxin exposure has increased to a point where it is a stressor on the body and triggering more autoimmune conditions
If you have any symptoms listen to what your body is telling you and take action
Gluten isn’t good for anyone and you need to eliminate processed foods

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘Your symptoms are signs given to you by your body to look deeper’
‘Don’t stop asking questions and keep going until you find the answers’
‘Insulin is a hormone we need for life but in excess, it is the fat storage hormone’
