WEBINAR: Thyroid Hormone Function 7th September 2022

Thyroid Hormone Function Webinar

“I don’t know about you, but I have observed that a notable proportion of my clients have sub-clinical hypothyroidism, and the incidence is rising. I have also found that the vast majority of my clients who is taking thyroxine benefits from support to help its conversion to the active form of thyroid hormone, T3.” (Antony Haynes, 2022)

The official statistics reveal that there are literally millions of people in the UK with medically recognisable under-active thyroid hormone, which increases with age and is more common in women than men. If we add to this the group of people who have yet to reach the stage where they can be diagnosed, by which I mean functionally under-active, then there are even more millions of people who suffer from symptoms and signs of hypothyroidism. It is likely that most of the folk are not getting the help they need and nutritional therapy can meet that need.

There are lifestyle factors yes, but more important is dietary intake. However, most of all on a therapeutic level are the key nutritional supplements that provide the body with what it needs to make sufficient quantities of thyroid hormone, to nourish the enzymes that convert T4 to T3 and to prevent and resolve the factors that interrupt the processes of the body achieving optimal intracellular levels of active FT3.

Antony Haynes will present a podcast-style interview with Karen Devine to discuss this subject and share information about what has helped improve his clients’ health, specifically with regard to thyroid hormone health. For example, Karen will ask Antony about potentially goitrogenic foods, about how anaemia influences thyroid hormone, as well as about the use of specific supplements to achieve successful outcomes in terms of optimal thyroid hormone function.
