Monday Apr 16, 2018
Are you doing everything right but just can’t lose weight? Wondering about the impact of stress on your metabolism? Want to know how your thyroid is affected by stress? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki discuss the often-referenced HPA axis in depth and how stress directly impacts thyroid function. From the function of the thyroid gland to the connection of anxiety to functional lab markers to consider, this episode will leave you with tools to address thyroid imbalance from the root cause!
In this episode, Ali and Becki take a deep dive into thyroid health and the direct and indirect impacts of stress on your main metabolic gland. The thyroid is connected to the HPA axis (fight or flight) and can be upregulated or downregulated in times of stress. Learn about favorite tools for stress reduction, best dietary practices to support thyroid health and supplements to support the HPA-axis, provide building blocks for thyroid hormones and reduce inflammation to the gland. As always, we’ll share our favorite recipes that support thyroid health so you can be empowered to use food as medicine in your journey to healing from the impact of stress!
