"Thyroid hormone: we relate it with the metabolism of the body. But it goes further than that. It controls pretty much every cell, tissue, and organ in the body."
~ Dr. Eric Osansky
How much do we know about our thyroid? And why are thyroid problems so prevalent nowadays? As you know, I like to take a holistic approach when it comes to understanding and improving our health, and for the first time in the show’s history, I’ve got a thyroid expert on to showcase natural approaches to supporting your thyroid, whether you’re dealing with a full-blown thyroid disorder or are just looking for ways to optimize it.
Dr. Eric Osansky is a thyroid expert who became interested in chiropractic and functional medicine after experiencing hyperthyroidism himself. Today, he's explaining the basic physiology of the thyroid gland, as well as sharing the natural approach to treating our thyroid that is available to us all – rather than just taking the medications or surgery recommended by some doctors.
We talk about how thyroid issues like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can impact other areas like your cholesterol, kidneys, and digestion. Learn the importance of having a full thyroid panel test run, instead of the standard TSH, and how having those numbers interpreted correctly can empower you to get the proper care you need and deserve.
And this wouldn't be FLOWE if we didn't then widen our conversation again just a little bit to talk about all we can do to maintain our thyroid health, from the clothes we wear to the food we eat. Please join us.
