		<title>Changing your diet is the first step in addressing Hashimoto&#8217;s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to addressing hypothyroidism and Hashimoto&#8217;s, certain nutritional and herbal compounds are invaluable. All the supplements in the world, however, will fall short if you fail to make the necessary dietary changes to support your condition.

		<description><![CDATA[Unraveling thyroid antibody tests
When it comes to thyroid antibodies, those definitive markers for Hashismoto’s, confusion sometimes arises. For instance, do your high antibody counts mean your Hashimoto’s is worse than your friend’s, whose counts are low?

Heart disease is a gut-immune-hormone disease
An ancient surgical procedure, called trepanation, consisted of drilling a hole in the head and removing a piece of the
skull. It is thought this practice was used to release evil spirits that caused mental illness, migraine headaches and other ills. Nowadays, however, if you went to your naturopath with complaints [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bone quality and hypothyroidism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bone quality, not density, is the issue with hypothyroidism
Most hypothyroidism patients are treated with thyroid hormones while the underlying cause, immune dsyregulation or a breakdown in the thyroid hormone pathway, is ignored. As a result they may suffer from the consequences of poor thyroid function, one of the most serious being compromised bone health.

		<title>Which thyroid hormone is right for you?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A question I frequently get is, “What is the best thyroid hormone?” and the answer is, “It depends!” No one magic thyroid hormone medication exists—instead a variety of factors must be considered. For instance, many people on thyroid hormones have a normal TSH but still suffer from hypothyroid symptoms. Others have a history of trying [...]]]></description>

		<title>Iodine and Autoimmune Thyroid — References</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re interested in some of the research that has been done on iodine and autoimmune thyroid diseases, this post is for you.

		<title>The effects of Hashimoto&#8217;s and hypothyroidism on brain health</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The most disturbing thing I see in regards to Hashimoto’s is that although people’s TSH may be managed with thyroid hormones, their immune dysregulation goes unchecked. This leaves other areas of the body vulnerable to attack, the most profound being the brain.]]></description>

		<title>Why I Delved Into Thyroid Health and Why Every Practitioner Should</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I never thought when I started practicing that I would one day write a thyroid book and teach thyroid classes, as I am not inherently passionate about the thyroid.
But I have invested so much time into the thyroid because the majority of my patients have some degree of thyroid dysfunction. I quickly learned you can’t [...]]]></description>
