In this episode, I sit down with Osteopath and Naturopath, Dr. Elizabeth Bright, to discuss the crucial importance of addressing thyroid and adrenal function when experiencing all hormonal imbalances, as well as a host of other health conditions. Dr. Bright explains the significance of a high-fat diet as well as iodine to support the thyroid, as well as understanding the role of the thyroid as being the MASTER regulator of the entire body.

In this discussion we tackle the following and more:

• The basics of the thyroid that are not usually explained by your doctor
• Why is the thyroid the control center of the body?
• Why is hyper-thyroidism just a version of hypo?
• Are conventional blood markers giving your doctor the whole story?
