If you currently take thyroid medication but are still gaining weight and still have a variety of symptoms, there’s more you need to know. Fatigue, weight gain, depression, anxiety, rising cholesterol levels, inability to focus, thinning hair, digestive problems, abnormal blood pressure, reduced drive, and heart palpitations are only some of the symptoms.  We’ll discuss the 5 things that need to be measured, but usually aren’t: why the #1 thyroid replacement may not be helping you; foods that help or hinder; commonly misunderstood rules of how and when to take thyroid meds; environmental triggers and information you need to discuss with your doctor. This workshop is a source of information only and should by no means be considered a substitute for the advice of a qualified medical professional.

Are you finding that no matter how well you watch what you eat or how much you exercise that weight is not budging?

We’ll discuss concrete solutions (not tricks, not using your willpower) for controlling appetite and cravings; simple things you can do every day to boost your metabolism; major sources of hormone-mimicking chemicals and how to get rid of them; what HRT has to do with weight gain; how to have your hormone levels checked reliably; and what steps need to be taken to safely break the vicious cycle of hormone-related weight gain.
