It is estimated that about 12% of the American population will likely develop a thyroid condition in their lifetime, according to the American Thyroid Association. Still, about 60% of those impacted are undiagnosed and unaware of their condition. Due to the thyroid’s interaction with most of our body’s systems, this can put people at risk for certain serious conditions, such as heart disease, osteoporosis, complications in pregnancy, and infertility.
This is why it is vital to keep our thyroid healthy. Luckily, we can nourish our thyroid with lifestyle and address the potential triggers to thyroid deregulation using natural methods, including essential oils.
In my latest clinical tip, I provide some integrative medicine resources for those dealing with thyroid issues. First, I discuss some basics about the thyroid gland. Then I share some highlights on an integrative approach for thyroid health from two popular podcasts.
Topics include:
- What is the thyroid gland?
- How thyroid hormones interact with other body systems and affect our physiology
- Symptoms of thyroid imbalances
- Thyroid labs and their caveats
- Highlights from two informative podcasts on: (1) using essential oils for a healthy thyroid, and (2) a functional medicine approach to treating thyroid disorders
In an upcoming video, I will provide you with some key takeaways for you to consider for optimizing your thyroid function.
