This week’s episode is all about thyroid issues. It’s a problem that many people suffer with, that often goes undiagnosed and can lead to a long list of symptoms. Many of the people who seek out my help from me do so because of thyroid or suspected thyroid issues. In this episode I look at different hormones linked to the thyroid and what ranges they should be in, the various forms of thyroid issues and some suggestions of things you can do to help.
