Endometriosis and Thyroid Problems
In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the crucial connection between thyroid health and endometriosis. Did you know that those with endometriosis are six times more likely to have an underactive thyroid? And if thyroid issues are present, it often leads to greater pelvic pain. Understanding and supporting your thyroid health is essential for managing endometriosis symptoms, as both are interconnected symptoms of a larger issue within your body.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
-What the thyroid does: A breakdown of what your thyroid is, what it actually does, and its significant impact on your hormones and overall health.
-Underactive thyroid symptoms: How to spot the signs and what they might mean for your overall health.
-Essential thyroid tests: What essential markers to test for a comprehensive view of your thyroid health, and why a typical thyroid check might not give you the full picture.
-Supporting thyroid function: Why it’s important to identify the root cause of thyroid dysfunction and how to support your thyroid with the right foods and nutrients.
-Liver and gut health connection: How supporting your liver and gut health is key to optimal thyroid function, and how to do it.
-The gluten-thyroid link: The connection between gluten and thyroid health, and why going gluten-free might be worth considering.
Thyroid health is a complex topic, but these foundational tips will help you take the first steps toward better thyroid support and, in turn, better management of endometriosis. Consider working with a functional practitioner who can guide you in navigating both thyroid and endometriosis symptoms. We’re here to help you feel and live your best life.
