260: Thyroid Health with Carly Bayless, MSN, CHP, FNTP

 
 
 

A sluggish or overactive thyroid can cause all sorts of health issues. Most often it’s the sluggish kind that affects people. If you feel tired, fat, slow, cold, dry  and constipated…there’s a very good chance you have an underperforming thyroid.  

Unfortunately, medication is often prescribed without proper testing or root cause consideration. Did you know the sun can play a key role in signaling your thyroid? Did you know you need enough iodine to even make thyroid hormone but most people are deficient? Did you know that your liver needs to be working right to convert T4 to T3? Did you know that most doctors don’t even check T3? 

In this week’s episode, Carly breaks it all down for us: the physiology, testing, natural approaches and medication. Come listen and learn about this key metabolic gland.
