Putting Out the Fire of Autoimmunity | Risa Groux | 12720 Nov 202400:46:33

The vast majority of us with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism have autoimmune conditions (Hashimoto's/Graves' Disease) that have causes the issues with our thyroid hormones. This is why it's so important to 
a) know if you have an autoimmune condition and 
b) what you can do to calm the autoimmunity (ie put out the fire).

To help unpack this topic, I'm joined on the podcast by Risa Groux.

Some of the topics covered in this conversation include:

  • Understanding autoimmunity and it's impact
  • What is the fire of autoimmunity that needs to be put out?
  • Role of thyroid antibodies
  • How to manage thyroid antibodies
  • What is a functional nutrition approach to autoimmunity?
  • The Autoimmune Protocol
  • Developing a personalised approach to managing your autoimmunity
  • Digestive healing
  • Lectins - what are they and what impact can they have?
  • Root causes
  • A look into Risa's daily routine

What is ONE THING you can take away from this episode?

Tapping as a tool to reduce stress | Brad Yates | Ep 3631 Mar 202100:53:50

Tapping, also known as Emotional Freedom Technique is a tool where you use your fingers to 'tap' on a sequence of acupressure points on the body.

I know it does sound a bit crazy, but think of it as acupuncture without the needles. It's a tool that has been shown in different studies to reduce cortisol (stress hormone). In one sense it's a form of active meditation.

In this episode of Let's Talk Thyroid, I'm chatting with internationally renowned 'tapper', Brad Yates about the technique which really is quite simple, so once you know how, it's easy to use anytime and anyplace on pretty much anything!

Stress can be a trigger for auto-immune thyroid diseases (Hashimoto's and Graves). Stress also creates inflammation which wreaks havoc on thyroid (& much more) health, so the more tools we have in our stress relief toolkit the better.

As Brad says, if our bodies aren't constantly dealing with 'ambient stress', all the time, there is more bandwidth for the body to heal. So whether tapping directly or indirectly helps our thyroid health, it doesn't really matter!

There are times of course when it's best to seek professional support or to even tap with a friend. If you're dealing with some really big emotions, stress or trauma, please get support. 

You'll find it easier to WATCH the actual tapping sequences. We go through 2 in the episode. They can be found:

Intro stress sequence: @ 31 min

Longer thyroid sequence: @38.45

---------

Brad Yates is known internationally for his creative and often humorous use of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). Brad is the author of the best-selling children's book "The Wizard's Wish," the co-author of the best-seller "Freedom at Your Fingertips," and a featured expert in the film “The Tapping Solution.” He has also been a presenter at a number of events, including Jack Canfield's Breakthrough to Success, has done teleseminars with “The Secret” stars Bob Doyle and Dr. Joe Vitale, and has been heard internationally on a number of internet radio talk shows. Brad also has well over 1000 videos on YouTube, that have been viewed over 32 million times.

Leanne's Thyroid Story | Ep 3517 Mar 202100:44:37

Leanne's Thyroid Story, like so many is long and windy and reveals a deeply personal struggle and commitment to her own health.

Leanne has really taken her health into her own hands and, together with the help of a couple of different naturopaths has been able to identify a key root cause/trigger and how to really manage that part of her health.

We talk about:

  • Reducing antibodies
  • How to include your partner in the health process
  • How important it is to find the right practitioner to work with at the right time
  • Liver support
  • How to pace yourself - Leanne says this has been critical for her as a way of empowering her to exercise self-care - she has a few practices she's built into her calendar too.
  • How resting is not lazy.
  • Our favourite essential oils - how to use them safely (& what NOT to do!)
  • Leanne's top 3 tips for others.

Thank you Leanne for sharing your story with me, I know it will be an encouragement to many others as they travel their thyroid journey's too.

Stress, Trauma & Thyroid | Justin Janoska | Ep 3403 Mar 202100:54:56

Unresolved stress or past trauma (big or small) may be getting in the way of your thyroid healing.

In this chat with Justin Janoska, we dive into

  • How helping his Mom/Mum (😀) with her Hashimoto's lead him into this space.
  • Is there a thyroid 'personality'? ie common personality traits that he sees commonly with the women he works with. (Enneagrams 1 & 3s take note)
  • How you can 'get in your own way'.
  • The importance of unscheduled time-out.
  • The inability to heal in a toxic-environment.
  • Common other auto-immune diseases that those with Hashimoto's tend to 'collect'!
  • Where to start when it comes to improving your thyroid health
  • How the process of being diagnosed/treated can be a trauma in and of itself.
  • Hashimoto's as a lifestyle driven disease.

AND, we have a discussion about the corona virus and how it might impact on those of us with thyroid issues and/or auto-immune diseases.

Let's Talk Detox | Ep 3317 Feb 202100:39:52

We are exposed to hundreds, if not thousands of chemicals each day - in the air we breath, the furniture we sit on, food we eat, medications, skin care, hair care, perfumes and air fresheners. So in this episode let’s talk all things 'detox'.

  • How does our body deal with these chemicals?
  • How can we help our bodies deal more efficiently with them?
  • Special considerations for those with thyroid issues.
  • How can we reduce our chemical exposure/toxic load?

I get a little bit science-y (in my limited way!) and share some practical outworkings of how we can support our body's natural biotransformation (detox) pathways and how to reduce chemical exposure in the first place!

Angela's Thyroid Story | Ep 3203 Feb 202100:42:48

Angela feels like she's spent her life tired and looking back thinks she's probably had thyroid issue for decades before being properly diagnosed. Although diagnosed with an underactive thyroid is wasn't until over a decade later she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. 

She says she didn't really identify with many of the typical symptoms so tended to downplay it, but can see that it's crept up on her to the point that the last 2 years she's required medication and has really embarked on the research and self-empowerment health journey!

This research has, in part led her down a path of switching to toxic free products, having been exposed to a lot of chemicals growing up on a farm and working as a Dental Nurse. She's switched her to clean cleaning products, personal care products and loves her doTERRA essential oils and their Lifelong Vitality supplements.

Angela is a Personal Trainer and is a firm believer in food, nutrition and gut health being critical to her over all health. She's found that a paleo based diet works best for her and has loved my Kickstart Your Thyroid Wellness Lifestyle Challenge so much that she's back for a second round ;-)

 Enjoy listening to Angela share her story.

A Word for Your Health for 2021 | Ep 3120 Jan 202100:34:19

Having a word for your health for 2021 can bring your focus, clarity, direction and can help reduce stress.

In the first episode for 2021, I share with you my ideas around having a word for the year. I’ve been doing this for 6 years now and have found having a guiding theme for the year really empowering. I have mostly focussed the discussion around HEALTH, although you can have a word that traverses many areas of your life, or a specific one for your health.

In this episode I cover:

The benefits of having a word for your year.

How to find your word

I step you through 3 out of 5 of the steps in my Year By Design course:

  1. Reflect
  2. Dream
  3. Create

How to cement your word and create a vision for your health.

If you’d like help finding your word, you can book a free 30 min Strategy Session with me.

Calm Your Nervous System | Meredith Edwards | Ep 2909 Dec 202000:58:56

We all know how important managing our stress is, but let’s be real… knowing and doing are often 2 different things!

If you’re like me, knowing WHY it’s important is key to taking those necessary actions, and in this episode of the podcast, I talk with Meredith Edwards about both WHY managing our stress is important and HOW we can do it.

We dive into the central nervous system and how we can get stuck in fight/flight which leaves us in a chronically stressed state – we talk about some of the signs that you might be ‘stuck’ all revved up too.

We also cover:
Exercise 

Foods 

Sleep 

Mindfulness

Meditation 

Trauma 

Meredith Edwards is a 

* Clinical Nutritionist

* iRest and Restorative Trauma Sensitive Yoga teacher

* RAAF wife, Navy mum

Practicing in Newcastle, about to relocate to Canberra due to husband’s posting

Herbs for Thyroid Health | Ashleigh Mythen | Ep 2802 Dec 202000:58:28

Have you ever wondered what herbs can be used to support your thyroid health? Perhaps you’ve been to a naturopath or herbalist who has prescribed you some herbs, or just stood in a health food aisle wondering if there is something that might help!

Well, Ashleigh Mythen is a naturopath & herbalist here in this episode to help us understand which herbs to consider for hypothyroid, hyperthyroid and also for the auto-immune component.

We have a chat about Turmeric, Devils’s Claw, Withania (AKA Ashwanganda), Lemon Balm, Romania, Passionflower, Maca, Mushrooms and more!

I love that many of the tips in this conversation revolved around incorporating these herbs into our everyday cooking – it doesn’t have to mean taking swathes of supplements. Adding to our food sources can be a gentle and safe way of introducing these herbs into our routines too.

Exploring the Gut-Brain-Mood-Thyroid Connections | Dr Vincent Pedre | 12606 Nov 202401:03:16

I've been wanting for a while to explore the connection not only between the gut and the brain but also with the various mood related issues and symptoms that are common for those with thyroid conditions. We often can make the connections ourselves with our gut and digestive concerns but don't always make the connection between our gut health and things like anxiety, depression, brain fog and other cognitive and mood symptoms.

To help us understand these connections, I'm joined on the show by Dr Vincent Pedre, America’s Gut Doctor seen in First for Women, Woman’s World, Fox News, ABC, CNN, MindBodyGreen, Parade, Newsweek, Yahoo, The Gabby Reece, Dhru Purohit, Dave Asprey and now the Let's Talk Thyroid podcast.

Some of the topics covered in this conversation include:

  • The connection with the gut and thyroid health/autoimmune thyroid conditions
  • Understanding leaky gut and leaky thyroid.
  • Gut-brain connection.
  • Role of the vagus nerve in the gut-brain connection.
  • Typical foods to avoid for a health gut and brain.
  • Coffee and the gut (& Dr Pedre's new gut friendly coffee)
  • Misdiagnosis and gaslighting of thyroid patients.
  • Mood/anxiety/mental health issues.
  • Practical tips for good gut-brain health.

Dr. Vincent Pedre, the Medical Director of Pedre Integrative Health and Founder of Dr. Pedre Wellness, CEO/Founder of Happy Gut Life, has worked as a nutraceutical consultant and spokesperson for NatureMD and Orthomolecular Products, and is a Functional Medicine-Certified Practitioner with a concierge practice in New York City since 2004. As the bestselling author of two books on the gut, he believes the gut is the gateway to excellent wellness. His newest book, The GutSMART Protocol — featuring a 14-day personalized gut-healing plan based on the GutSMART Quiz — is the culmination of years of research and clinical experience as a functional gut health expert. And his newest offering, Happy Gut Coffee, is a clean, toxin-free coffee that you can trust to keep your gut happy.

Your Christmas Survival Guide | Ep 2725 Nov 202000:31:42

Christmas means so many different things for each of us but for most, it's a busy season and can be quite stressful. So.... what are a few things we can do to make it fun, happy and not undo all the good we've been doing for our thyroid health?! Really it's more than Christmas survival, it's about thriving through Christmas :-)

Here are some of my thoughts - what works for my Christmas Survival plan. I'd love you to join the discussion in the Let's Talk Thyroid Community as I know you'll have some ideas to share with the rest of us too!

Firstly, I think it's important to release that in practical terms, Christmas is at least a month, if not 6 weeks. It's NOT just 1 day! Not in terms of the busyness, food, stress and relationships anyway. So, we need to tackle it as a season... even if it's a mini-season if we are going to survive Christmas well!

The topics discussed this week are:
1. Planning for success.
2. People - protecting our relationships!
3.  Essential oils - my favourite for emotional and physical support over Christmas.
4. Food - of course! 
5. A few handy hacks to make life easier.

Enjoy!

Advocating for Thyroid Change | Denise Roguz | Ep 2618 Nov 202000:50:05

Denise Roguz is a woman on a big mission: changing thyroid care across the globe by advocating for full thyroid testing and treatment options AND uniting both medical professionals and patients in the quest for personalised optimal thyroid health care.

 After taking 17 YEARS and about 20 different doctors across 3 states to be diagnosed with a thyroid disease Denise was angry, and rightly so! She had the symptoms, the family history (all the women in her family with thyroid issues) and knew in her heart of hearts she had thyroid problems. Finally, she found a doctor who ran a full thyroid panel and gave her the answers she was looking for.

In this episode, Denise shares much of her personal thyroid story, the mission of ThyroidChange and how YOU as a patient, can advocate for your own thyroid health.

-------------------------
Denise Roguz is the co-founder of ThyroidChange, LLC a collaborative network, health information website, and social media campaign. The goal of the platform is to unite an international community of medical professionals and patients under the same innovative vision: patients need personalized thyroid care for optimal wellness.

Menopause & Thyroid | Dr Joni Labbe | Ep 2511 Nov 202000:57:04

Symptoms for both thyroid disease and menopause overlap. Brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, lack of libido... So, how do you know what's what? Which comes first... the chicken or the egg?

Dr Labbe has been working with women with both thyroid problems and hormonal issues for well over 20 years and so I was thrilled to pick her brains about the connection between thyroid & menopause. Like many professionals in this space, Dr Labbe has Hashimoto's so we touch on some of her thyroid story too.

Personally, I'm on the cusp of peri-menopause at 46, so I was keen to get the low-down so I can be as prepared as I can be!

The key topics covered in this discussion are:

  • The connection between menopause & thyroid.
  • Can menopause trigger Hashimoto's or 'reignite' Hashimoto's that has been in remission?
  • Test not guess - know where your body is actually at and get to the root cause of what's going on for you at the stage of life.
  • Inflammation
  • Birth control - the IUS in particular and whether it can help with menopause symptoms.
  • Foods to avoid and a few to make sure to include for thyroid support.
  • Dr Labbe's top 3 tips for those with both thyroid & menopause issues going on.
  • Sex! Or lack of it, more to the point.

How to have HOPE in the midst of dealing with chronic thyroid problems | Ep 2404 Nov 202000:20:31

What is hope?
"desire accompanied by expectation of or belief in ..."a strong and confident expectation... it deals with things we can't see or have received.. hope is never a static or passive thing. It's dynamic, active, directive and life-sustaining". 

In this episode, I'll talk about these questions:

  1. What does it mean to have HOPE?
  2. What does it mean to be HOPE-less?
  3. How can you actually live in HOPE?
 
Be the hope for someone else!

Thyroid & Period Problems | Ep 2328 Oct 202000:32:01

Every cell in your body needs thyroid hormones, including your reproduction cells! It follows that if our thyroid isn't working properly that that can contribute toward period problems.

In this episode, I talk about the most common period related problems/symptoms for both those with hypo and hyperactive thyroid conditions AND some practical things you could try to see if they help! The most important is to check that your thyroid is operating optimally.

There are lots of links for further reading in the associate blog post found on annabelbateman.com/podcast

Nikki's Thyroid Story | Ep 2221 Oct 202000:45:43

I'd love to introduce you to my friend Nikki. She was diagnosed with Hashimoto's about 10 years ago when she went to the doctor because she was having trouble catching her breath. I have heard other's describe this as 'air hunger'. Looking back she was also experiencing brain fog, hair loss & migraines and not long before she was diagnosed went through a very stressful time after her sister passed away.

Like many of us, when she was diagnosed she'd never heard of Hashimoto's and has done a lot of reading and research - although after wearing herself out with research has learnt to find her feet with how to manage her health.

Nikki is a church Pastor (of the church I go to) and has had to learn over time how to manage her personal boundaries in a very people-oriented line of work. We chat in this podcast episode a fair bit about stress, how she's protected her physical, mental and emotional health.

Essential oils as a gentle & powerful tool for mood management | Ep 2114 Oct 202000:34:11

As it happens the last few weeks I’ve seen a theme emerge: stress & mood management!

We know that stress has a whole lot of negative impact on our overall thyroid health. There are quite a few tools in my stress/mood management toolkit, including diet, sleep, saying no, creating ‘white space’ but my essential oils are a very important tool in that toolkit!

In this episode I talk about:

My experience with essential oils – going from a smell hater (because they made me feel sick!) to a smell lover.

  • What essential oils are
  • How essential oils work (aromatically with our olfactory system and topically entering our bodies through the skin).
  • What essential oils are NOT
  • Different essential oils, that because of their chemistry are lovely for when you want to lift your mood/feel happy and energised.
  • Different essential oils, that because of their chemistry are perfect for when you want to calm and settled during the day, and restful at night.
  • A few of my favourite ways I use these oils in my daily routine.
  • If you’d like my current sleep roller recipe that I rub on my temples, forearms, bottoms of my feet… pretty much all over at bedtime as part of my bedtime rituals fill out the form on the shownotes and if you’d like a simple place to start with using essential oils as your own powerful & gentle tool in YOUR toolkit, check out the Emotional Wellness Starter Kit on the same page.

Graves Disease as a patient & naturopath | Bronte May | Ep 2007 Oct 202000:48:34

As both a patient and a practitioner, Bronte shares so much practical advice for thyroid warriors of all kinds!

As a Graves Disease patient, she created her own treatment option when those offered by her doctor didn't sit well with her. She was able to significantly reduce her antibodies through diet and stress management, something many doctors don't see as possible.

We talk a lot about stress, the process of healing and mindset. You'll love Bronte's Mario Bros analogy of how we 'level up' our healing as we learn along the way in our health journeys.

"Love yourself enough to give yourself 5 mins out of your day just for you"
"I send love to my thyroid everyday"
"Create your own options ... you know best what your next step is"
- Bronte May.

I tell you, you'll want to listen to this thyroid chat. Thank you Bronte!


-------------------
Bronte is a Naturopath with a passion for thyroid health. She knows firsthand the complicated and multi-layered journey to heal from an autoimmune disease. Having had a negative experience within the mainstream medical system, she decided to educate her way to recovery… and did... healing herself from Graves disease and became a qualified Naturopath in the process.

Having learned so much about lifestyle medicine and the medical modality of Naturopathy during her own healing journey she became very passionate about helping others navigate, improve and heal their own autoimmune issues and now helps her clients by systematically uncovering the root cause of the problem, not just suppressing symptoms, and more importantly, simplifies the process of getting well again. And when she isn’t doing that, her Instagram tells us that you can find her earthing with a cup of bone broth.

Michelle's Thyroid Story | Ep 1930 Sep 202000:47:32

Michelle was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid in her early twenties and was put on medication but her thyroid antibody levels were never tested. It wasn't until about 25 years later she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's.

Trusting her instincts that she wasn't 'crazy' she kept trying to get help. This seems to be a common story for those not yet diagnosed with Hashimoto's... they know something isn't 'right' but have trouble identifying what it is.

Michelle has done a lot of inner work on her attitude, mindset and taken responsibility for managing her health. She's taken time to build a supportive 'team' around her - moving to a quieter place, some good friends, a doctor & naturopath to work with and loves our online Let's Talk Thyroid Community too.

It's funny because without her realising, she covers a few things we covered in last weeks episode too about saying no! 

Thank you Michelle for sharing your thyroid story with us all, I know many will benefit.

How to say no! A tough love episode | Ep 1823 Sep 202000:33:50

Managing our day to day stress is important for our thyroid health but what if we could remove some of the things that cause this stress?

A root cause approach to stress management? Makes more sense doesn't it?

In order to do this, we need to learn how to say no!

You'd think it would be simple. Just say no. But we know that it's not that simple. 

We know that many of us with thyroid issues tend to have personalities that like to take on more than we can handle, we bottle things up and don't always express our ourselves well. It's no surprise to me that most of us have trouble saying no!

This episode is just as much for me as it might be for you!

I cover questions like:

Why don't we just say no?

How can you actually say no and keep your friends and self-respect? 

We also explore the idea of setting boundaries, knowing our core values, not over-scheduling our days and lots of practical tips on how to actually say no!

Tanisha's Thyroid Story | Tanisha Patel - Optithy | 12505 Oct 202400:51:20

My guest on today's podcast is Tanisha Patel, Tanisha is a UKIHCA accredited health coach that specialises in helping women with Hypothyroidism on their diet, sleep, stress, exercise and gut health. Like so many of us, Tanisha has taken the time to research and work out how to manage her thyroid health holistically and taken control of her health. In doing this she has found ways to give herself more energy, feel better, reduce symptoms and now she is helping others to do the same.

Some of the topics covered in this conversation include:
⭐️ Symptoms Tanisha started noticing (or noticed in retrospect)
⭐️ Dealing with being a teenager with low energy
⭐️ The help of friends to point out what's normal and what's not!
⭐️ The family connection with thyroid issues
⭐️ Food - what Tanisha eats (as a vegetarian), and doesn't eat
⭐️ Exercise - what she's found works best
⭐️ Changing her work-life to be more thyroid-friendly
⭐️ Stress - power of a nap
⭐️ Why Tanisha now wants to help others

Brain & Thyroid Health | Dr Philippe Douyon, Neurologist | Ep 1609 Sep 202000:49:37

Brain fog, lack of concentration & focus and fatigue are neurological symptoms that are also common thyroid disease symptoms. Dr Philippe Douyon says in this episode, that in his neurology practise, that many of his patients present with these neurological symptoms and have not been diagnosed with thyroid issues. Once tested and treated for the underlying thyroid condition, these neurological symptoms resolve.

In this conversation about the brain & thyroid health connection, we cover topics such as:

  • The connection between thyroid and brain health.
  • The difference in brain health problems for those with Hashimoto’s v Graves
  • When to see a neurologist
  • Do we lose brain function over time with thyroid conditions?
  • The metaphysical & personality connection with thyroid health.
  • Diet for good brain health.
  • The type of exercise that's good for brain & thyroid health.
  • The impact of stress. Did you know that stress kills neurons?
  • Dr Douyon's 5 top tips for brain health.

You'll love Dr Douyon's whole person, collaborative approach to brain health. His advice is practical, positive and gives me hope for my long term thyroid/brain health!

-------------------
Philippe Douyon, MD is a  Board Certified Neurologist who completed his residency in Neurology at New York University and fellowship at New York Presbyterian-Cornell in Clinical Neurophysiology. He has spent the last several years caring for people with neurological disorders with a special emphasis on those with a history of epilepsy, seizures, and non epileptic events.

After spending years witnessing the deleterious effects of neurological disorders, watching people take medications that at best ameliorate symptoms, but do little to modify the underlying disease process, and observing the delicate balancing act between side effects and symptom relief, he began to realize that we could do better for the people we serve.

Therefore, he decided to create a therapeutic, supportive environment, aimed at using a multimodal approach to improve the lives of people with neurological disorders and promote brain health.

Going Dairy Free for Thyroid Health | Ep 1502 Sep 202000:35:39

Second only to gluten as a dietary trigger for auto-immune thyroid issues, is dairy. That's why doctors and health practitioners looking at a diet to support their thyroid patients will often recommend giving up both gluten & dairy.

Symptoms of dairy intolerance include reflux, bloating, diarrhoea, respiratory symptoms (eg cough, sinusitis, asthma) and skin reactions (eg psoriasis, eczema).

In this episode we cover 

  • dairy intolerance - the issue of casein
  • lactose intolerance
  • types of dairy to avoid
  • dairy as possible cross-reaction to the thyroid gland
  • dairy as a trigger for thyroid disease
  • how & why to eliminate dairy
  • how to know if you have a dairy intolerance
  • practical alternatives for milk, cheese, butter etc.

Recipe ideas and links are found in the shownotes on annabelbateman.com/podcast

Jeni's Graves Disease Story | Ep 1426 Aug 202000:38:54

I'm loving talking to people in the Let's Talk Thyroid Community because here are real people who are doing the hard work to support their health and have lots of great ideas to share with others.

Jeni was diagnosed with Graves Disease only in January. She was overheating, losing a lot of weight, running to the toilet and her heart rate was through the roof!

Jeni believes that years of anxiety, stress and overworking caused her body to go into overdrive. We talk a fair bit in this episode about being a 'busy woman' and how that often seems to be a trigger for a range of thyroid issues.

Whilst Jeni is still fairly new to having thyroid disease, she has dived right into seeking out information, other's experiences and learning how she can manage her health in the long term. She is keen to share her experiences as they are unfolding in the hope that it will help others.

Graves disease is an overactive auto-immune thyroid condition, whereas Hashimoto's (what I have) is more common, there are many in our Let's Talk Thyroid Community with Graves too (or fluctuate between the 2), so I'm so grateful Jeni has shared her story with us.

Thank you Jeni!

If you want to check out Jeni's businesses:

I'm enjoying Jeni's Instagram @work2_weekend

Going Gluten Free. Part 2 | Ep 1319 Aug 202000:36:01

Did you miss PART 1?  Head back to episode 10 where we covered the why, where and what of going gluten free. Now let's get practical and talk about HOW to implement a gluten free diet.

In preparing for this episode, I was reminded just how good my cookbook actually is, because really, it's more than a cookbook. I have lots of information in it about how I went gluten free, ideas for sticking with it when you travel or are out and about. There are meal ideas and approaches to meals, not just recipes. In fact I have been surprised by the number of people who have told me they sat down ad 'read' it cover to cover!

Not got your copy yet?

What Annabel Cooks: Real Food Recipes that will make you Flourish.

Many recipes available for free on whatannabelcooks.com

Tips for implementing a gluten free diet?

  1. Make a decision - honestly, it's my biggest tip. Just decide if you are and how you are going to do it. Takes all the little decisions out of it then.
  2.  Be prepared - stock the house with ingredients you can eat, remove those you can't.
  3.  Be inspired - try new recipes, buy a new book or 2.
  4. Have fun - seriously, it's a gift not a punishment.
  5. Tell others and get support.

How to approach a meal?
🥣 Rethink breakfast - left overs are great, an egg and veggie fry-up, smoothie, breakfast soup
🥩 Decide on a protein, which fat will you cook it in (i use macadamia oil, coconut oils, olive oil, butter) and then add a mix of colourful veggies - try cutting them in different shapes for variety!

Are you a turkey or a frog?
Depending on your personality, you might like to take either a cold turkey or a frog in a pot approach. You decide what works best for you. Personally I’m a turkey! In the podcast I go over some tips for each approach and who it might be best for.

Treating thyroid issues as a naturopath | Sharon Wilford | Ep 1212 Aug 202000:55:40

Sharon Wilford has been one of my personal naturopaths and a very good friend of mine for over 15 years.

Sharon has lots of tools in her naturopathic toolkit. Aside from herbs, supplements, and diet, Sharon uses a variety of tests, Applied Kinesiology (muscle testing), Neurolink and Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) with her patients.

We cover:

  • Some of the things to look for in a physical examination, common symptoms and clinical indicators of a thyroid condition.
  • Common nutritional deficiencies.
  • Why is gut health so important?
  • Neural pathways - are they connecting and flowing properly? What could be blocking them? Neurolink as a technique to help the neural pathways to work more optimally.
  • Being 'ready' to make changes.
  • The stress response and the critical role it plays in thyroid patients.
  • The personality connection!
  • NET and the researched connection to stress, trauma. & cortisol. Where your body is storing stress/trauma and using the NET technique to release it.
  • Toxicity as a thyroid trigger.

--------------------------
To connect with Sharon, head to Sharon Wilford Naturopathy. Her clinic is both in New Farm, Brisbane and online.

ABOUT SHARON

Sharon's Thyroid Story | Ep 1105 Aug 202000:44:38

I'm loving talking to people in the Let's Talk Thyroid Community because here are real people who are doing the hard work to support their health and have lots of great ideas to share with others.

Sharon was diagnosed with Hashimoto's about 20 years ago after feeling extremely fatigued and hair falling out, having to change jobs due to the fatigue.

An overachiever by nature, as seems to be for many with Hashimoto's, we talk about how that personality trait can impact on our health and how Sharon has learnt to manage it through changing jobs, awareness of stressful triggers and being proactive in using some specific essential oils to help stay calmer and grounded during the day.

We cover Sharon's daily habits, her thyroid triggers, diet, supplements, essential oils and other lifestyle factors that have worked well for her. Finding a great holistic doctor has been significant and we talk about her  'secret weapon', as her partner, Leonie is a naturopath! Imagine having a naturopath on tap. Yes, Sharon, we are all a bit jealous ;-)

Sharon shares her story with quiet wisdom and kindness that comes from walking her talk. It's the little tweaks along the way that show an accumulative benefit.

Thank you Sharon for sharing your story, I know it will help many of our listeners.

Going Gluten Free Part 1 | Ep 1029 Jul 202000:38:50

Have you thought about going gluten free but thought it was all too hard?

That was me for sure. For about 10 years before I took the plunge! 

🤷‍♀️ What would I eat?  Would it really make that much difference? Is is just a fad? But I love to eat... But I love to cook... 

I get that it can seem impossible.

It's not.

It just takes knowing WHY you want to go gluten free, WHERE it is found so you know how to avoid it and WHAT you can eat. That's what this episode is all about.

Next comes the HOW do you actually do it? 

That's going to be part 2 in a separate podcast.

Whilst I've gone GF as part of my thyroid health, there are many other health reasons to consider giving it a go even if thyroid isn't your thing! Gluten/leaky gut has been connected to other auto immune diseases, perhaps you want to get rid of some bloating, think more clearly or have more energy. All reasons to give it a go and see if it makes a difference!

 I explore lots of practical information and strategies around this whole topic on going gluten free in this week's podcast episode and have put lots of links to products and information in the shownotes if you want a cheat-sheet of sorts.

Robyn's Thyroid Story | Ep 922 Jul 202000:32:34

There is power in a story. The more those of us with thyroid diseases talk about our experiences, the more we will help each other. That's why sharing stories from our Let's Talk Thyroid Community is important to me.

I’d love you to listen as Robyn shares her thyroid story. Robyn was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 3 years ago, although was on medication for a high TSH for a few years before that, and has lots of practical wisdom to share around how she has learnt to solve the ‘puzzle’ that is living with Hashimoto’s!

Having a family history of thyroid disease, Robyn was alert to thyroid symptoms and so was blessed to have her Hashimoto’s diagnosed fairly quickly, despite her doctor initially diagnosing her with depression (a pretty common story). Robyn knew she wasn’t depressed and so kept digging, found a new doctor who has been treating her thyroid and her symptoms. We chat about things like brain fog, reducing chemical load, thyroid triggers, setting boundaries and self care.

Thank you Robyn for sharing your story, I know it will help many of our listeners.

How to build your thyroid support team | Ep 815 Jul 202000:16:14

Dealing with chronic health issues can be quite lonely at times but I believe it’s important to find people, professional and personal that can help support you throughout your health journey.

In this episode, we cover the 4 key people (or categories of people) that it’s helpful to have in your corner

  1. Medical.
  2. Allied Health professionals.
  3. Experts.
  4. Personal.

This way you can build your own thyroid health support team.

You might also like to consider that you could be part of someone else’s thyroid support team too as you learn, experiment and talk about your own experiences.

You'll be OK! Here's how I know... | Annabel Bateman | 12414 Aug 202400:35:03

It’s common when you’re living with a chronic (long term) thyroid condition to not feel ok all the time.  I’m here to encourage you, however, that you WILL be ok. I know because I’m ok and if I can be ok, so can you! Being ‘ok’ is not being ‘perfect’ which I don’t believe is attainable, but it is about feeling like there is hope, feeling like there are things you can do which will have a positive impact on your life. 

The things I cover in this episode include:

  • The ebbs and flows of living long term with a thyroid condition
  • My almost 30 years of ups and downs
  • Situations that lead to not feeling ok
  • Warning signs you might be spiralling down
  • What to focus on to start spiralling up rather than keep spiralling down
  • My last 12 months as an example
  • The power of accountability
  • Life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21)
  • Remember to KISS when it feels complicated
  • Control what YOU CAN control - 4 key areas
  • Getting more bang for your buck by dealing with the low-hanging fruit
  • Resources I have to support you
  • Speaking a blessing over you
  • What’s your ONE next step?

A conversation with my doctor, Dr Elen ApThomas about thyroid health | Ep 708 Jul 202000:56:09

Finding a doctor to help you manage your thyroid health can be more difficult than it should be. I'm blessed to have had Dr Elen ApThomas helping me for about 15 years manage my thyroid health. I'm honoured she agreed to talk with me on the podcast.

We cover topics like:

  • How to find a doctor that understands thyroid health - what to look for and where to look.
  • What you can do to get the thyroid tests you need and why doctors might not easily be able to refer you for them.
  • 1 simple food you can juice to improved your digestive health.
  • Different kinds of thyroid medications.
  • Why gluten & dairy aren't recommended for auto-immune thyroid disease.
  • What can help with weight loss.
  • Fasting - who should/shouldn't fast and where to start if you want to give it a go.
  • What can trigger an auto-immune response? What is your immune system trying to protect yourself from?
  • Dr ApThomas' top simple recommendation for managing stress.

------------------
Dr Elen ApThomas is an integrative holistic doctor trained in both conventional and integrative medicine. She holds Bachelors in Medicine and Surgery from Adelaide, a Diploma in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and is a Member of the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine. She has been practising for over 26 years and is the founding doctor of a large multidisciplinary medical practice The Medical Sanctuary in Benowa on the Gold Coast Australia with Medical Doctors, Naturopaths, Osteopath, Acupuncturist, Colonic Hydrotherapist and Massage therapy.

What causes Hashimoto's? | Ep 601 Jul 202000:21:27

When I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto's at 23, I don’t remember thinking about WHY I had Hashimoto’s. I don’t remember asking what caused it. Perhaps I was just too tired, too young and information wasn’t as available as it is now. I don’t know, but I have spent time since trying to figure it out!

It really is important to take the time to go back and work out what the causes and triggers are for you. Otherwise medication, diet and lifestyle changes are like cover ups and not dealing with the real issues. This is why a long term holistic approach to managing your health is really the best approach. 

In this episode  I talk about the factors that create the perfect storm for autoimmune thyroid disease and some practical things we can do to address them.

A Chinese Medicine Approach to Thyroid Health | Dr Maz Roginksi | Ep 524 Jun 202001:01:48

Chinese Medicine is the world's oldest system of medicine. In this episode, I talk with Doctor of Chinese Medicine, Dr Maz Roginski, about a Chinese Medicine approach to thyroid health.

I love that, as Dr Maz says, Chinese Medicine takes a whole-person approach to health, something that I've learnt is critical for good thyroid health management. With that in mind, we explore a wide range of topics such as gut health, digestion, the type of exercise that a good for thyroid health, stress, inflammation, herbs and acupuncture.

You may be familiar with the idea of Yin & Yang but I expect you will learn more about how to bring these ancient concepts into balance. Our modern world and busyness would benefit from taking a step back in time and applying some of these ancient Chinese Medicine philosophies.

Meet Dr Maz Roginksi
Maz’s healing philosophy is that of supporting the individual to regain their optimal health – correcting imbalances and restoring function to address the root cause. Maz was awarded a Bachelor of Health Science in Chinese Medicine and completed a further Diploma in Canonical Chinese Medicine, focusing on the contemporary clinical application of ancient herbal medicines. She has also furthered her acupuncture knowledge by training with Dr. Richard Tan and Dr. Wei Chieh-Young, renowned for their methods in pain relief and pain management.

Maz has a life-long interest in health and natural wellness. A yoga practitioner for over 25 years, she has been blessed to have studied with many prominent teachers around the globe, and she incorporates this understanding of movement physiology into her work. Prior to commencing her studies in Chinese Medicine, Maz studied both Yoga Teacher Training and Tui Na (Chinese Remedial Massage), though it was in healing from her own autoimmune health crisis that her path focused upon Chinese Medicine. After personally experiencing the power of Chinese Medicine in her own healing, Maz was driven to immerse herself into this medicine in order to help others regain their health in a safe, effective and natural way.

Coming from a family of scientists and doctors, Maz keeps up with the latest scientific research and developments, and is excited to see how modern discoveries echo ancient healing knowledge.

Beyond the Thyroid | Dana Gibbs MD | 12324 Jul 202401:09:06

This is a first for the Let's Talk Thyroid podcast. The first time I've had an ENT (Ear Nose Throat) Surgeon on the show. Dr Dana Gibbs is an ENT and an allergist and is a wealth of knowledge on thyroid and hormone health. Like many of my guests, it was when she couldn't get answers to her own health challenges that she took her health into her own hands and started digging deeper, into the thyroid and beyond! 

This is a fascinating conversation.

Some of what we cover includes:

  • Dr Gibbs thyroid story
  • Sinus/thyroid connection
  • Thyroid medication - personalised dosing, types of medications and when/how to take meds
  • The significance of T3
  • Thyroid nodules
  • Thyroidectomy and thyroid management after thyroidectomy (full or partial)
  • Interconnectedness of thyroid hormones and other hormones
  • Supplementing with estrogen
  • Thyroid & menopause overlap
  • Dr Gibbs 4 rules for thyroid health management.

Dr. Dana Gibbs is an educator, Hormone expert, board-certified ENT, and allergist. Dr. Gibbs attended medical school in San Antonio Texas and trained in Otolaryngology at the University of Kansas. She practiced otolaryngology in Arlington TX, USA for 23 years.

Her experience of ill health during her teen years all the way to her late 30's led to profound changes in the way she practices medicine. After spending those years unrecognized, dismissed, and told "it was all in her head", she found mentors in the Integrative Medicine world that helped her find the answers and solutions to her problems. These answers now inform her practice and educational efforts.

She recently opened Consultants in Metabolism, a direct care practice for thyroid, metabolic and hormone management for Women and Men. The practice offers live and virtual visits.

Dr.Gibbs also speaks in person and online, presenting workshops that introduce physicians and patients to the unique solutions of an integrative Hormone practice.

I'm welcoming back Angela Brown to the podcast today because I wanted to get someone else on to talk about their personal thyroid-friendly lifestyle, and I know Angela walks her talk! You might remember her from way back in episode 37 where we talked about mineral and mindset for thyroid patients.

Hopefully after listening to this conversation, you have some fresh inspiration to tweak your own unique thyroid-friendly lifestyle!

  • Lifestyle oriented actions and habits that fuel a healthy thyroid
  • What Angela's day to day lifestyle looks like from wake up to sleep time!

  • What foods fuel a healthy thyroid lifestyle
  • What types of exercise fuel a healthy thyroid lifestyle

  • The importance of having a plan
  • Developing an exercise program/routine

  • The value of accountability

What is ONE THING you can take away from this episode?

Angela is a holistic health coach from St. Louis, MO. She is a board certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), a licensed physical therapist, as well as a personal trainer. She specializes in advanced testing and thyroid healing for women. She has recovered from hypothyroidism herself after being diagnosed at the age of 22.

Holistic Healing: Stress, Gut & Thyroid Autoimmunity | Libby Munro | 12122 May 202401:07:53

We have been on a stress/gut/healing journey over the last few episodes and I love how this often happens - the conversations follow similar themes from different angles, perspectives and stories which helps to really unpack the topic.

To continue the theme, Libby Munro joins me to share her story of healing her Hashimoto's and unpack further the connection between how you handle stress, manage gut health and heal autoimmune thyroid conditions. Libby brings energy and education to the thyroid community and in particular is a popular thyroid advocate in the Australian Thyroid Community.

We cover:

  • Libby's Hashimoto's Story
  • Taking a holistic approach to healing
  • The role of stress
  • How hypnotherapy can help Hashimoto's
  • Finding personalised stress management techniques
  • Daily pro-biotic use and the research on
  •  SIBO
  • Specific supplements for various gut issues
  • Heart Rate Variability monitoring for stress management

Meet Libby:
Libby grew up on a cattle station in outback Queensland, and originally followed her passion for acting, graduating from NIDA in 2008. She then enjoyed a thriving creative career on stage and screen, fulfilling her wildest performance dreams, but it took an incredible toll on her physical health. 

It was during her time at NIDA that Libby’s health was first impacted by constant dieting, stress, and maintaining the maniacally busy schedule of a theatre artist. She was diagnosed with the autoimmune condition 'Hashimotos' at only 25 years old, and so began her parallel interest in health, lifestyle and nutrition. Libby took her health into her own hands, studied her autoimmune disease, and then implemented diet and lifestyle changes - effectively putting her disease into remission. 

While working on a film in Los Angeles in 2017, Libby hired a nutrition coach from American company Black Iron Nutrition while training for a very physically demanding role. It was her experience with a wonderful coach at BIN that made her look into a career in health and start studying under Precision Nutrition. Returning to Australia when Covid-19 struck, Libby completed her study and applied for an internship with Black Iron Nutrition and was subsequently hired as one of their elite coaches. 

While she loved her 2 years as a nutrition coach, Libby found that she wanted to help people with very serious conditions like her own and has found her niche in improving her client's gut health, working to put autoimmunity into remission for a broader audience and supporting long term health in these areas. 

She continues her passion for acting, most recently starring in Queensland Theatre Co’s 2023 season of “The Appleton Ladies Potato Race”, and appearing in the Netflix series 'Joe Vs Carol’. Libby also makes handmade fur felt hats with her brand 'Bluegrass Hat Co' because she believes that a happy and balanced existence (for her) involves creativity aligned with physical

Hashimoto's: The Emotional Connection to Healing | Josie Warren | 12001 May 202401:01:19

"Can you heal Hashimoto's?" is a common question I've been asked over the years, and have asked myself. My guest on this episode, Josie Warren strongly believes you can heal Hashimoto's (& other autoimmune diseases) by addressing how you emotionally respond to life. It's a fascinating and challenging conversation and one full of HOPE.

We cover:

  • Josie's Hashimoto's story and her path to healing.
  • Is Hashimoto's a 'thyroid' disease?
  • The emotional connection to autoimmune diseases.
  • The immune system as a root cause.
  • The parasympathetic v sympathetic nervous system.
  • Learning how to emotionally handle life so you can heal.
  • The importance of having hope in the healing journey.

What is ONE THING you can take away from this episode?

Josie is an expert in the psychology of illness. She had eight autoimmune diseases, depression, anxiety, ADD, alcoholism, and an eating disorder in her teens and 20’s. After years of struggling with traditional and alternative medicine, she was unable to solve any of her chronic health issues.

Thankfully, through learning how to deal with her emotional state, she was able to permanently resolve all of her chronic health issues and autoimmune diseases in a very short period of time.

Nine years fully healthy, Josie is passionate about helping others with autoimmune diseases and chronic health disorders fully heal by helping people resolve their emotional state.

On today’s podcast, she is excited to share about the psychology of illness with the Let’s Talk Thyroid audience.
