Thyroid Troubles? Start with Your Gut for Lasting Wellness!
Manage episode 449704760 series 3614819
In this episode of Wellness Blueprints: Nourish Your Roots with Jess, I dive into the critical connection between your thyroid and gut health. Many of us experience symptoms like brain fog, memory issues, trouble regulating body temperature, and difficulty losing weight, often related to thyroid problems. Traditional doctors typically check TSH levels, but this is just one piece of the puzzle.
As a clinical nutritionist and functional bloodwork specialist, I take a different approach. I'll explain how your thyroid works, the role of the pituitary gland, and the importance of hormones like T3 and T4. You'll learn why conventional ranges for TSH might not be enough and how stress, inflammation, and gut health impact your thyroid function.
Discover how the gut, often called the second brain, plays a crucial role in producing essential neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Understand the significance of maintaining a healthy gut microbiome and its effect on your overall health, including thyroid function.
If you’re struggling with thyroid issues, I can help you with actionable steps like dietary adjustments, nutritional supplements, and lifestyle changes to improve your gut health and overall well-being.
