Ep #113 | Seven Imbalances in a Woman’s Body: All About Your Thyroid
Today I am excited for this new addition to the Audacious Woman Series which has been focused on seven common imbalances in a woman’s body, and this time I will dive deep into our Thyroid. But before I go any further you need to know that I am not your practitioner, I don’t know you personally, and that is the reason why I can only share general information to keep your awareness up. If you enter my program The Hormone Project we can begin working one on one with Dr. Laura Anderson hone in on your story, in order to help you reach a better understanding of your body and the signs it is sending you.
In this episode I will recommend what you should ask your doctor and what tests and elements of your blood work that need a closer look. I will also explain the functions of your thyroid and the impact it has on our overall health.
