Let's Talk Thyroid Annabel Bateman

I talk a lot on this podcast about different diet and lifestyle interventions that may help you live well with your thyroid condition. But how do you know which (if any) have any scientific validation?
In this episode I'm talking with Ellen Steinke about what science she's discovered across various aspects of a thyroid lifestyle and also how the average thyroid patient can know where and how to look for the science behind various thyroid diet & lifestyle interventions.
The key areas we cover in this episode are:
Ellen's personal thyroid storyWhat science is there/isn't there behind dietary changes popular in thyroid health eg gluten free, paleo, AIP.What science is there/isn't there behind nutritional deficiencies.What science is there/isn't there behind whether or not to supplement with iodine when you have Hashimoto's.Castor oil packs and other more natural remedies - how to consider those.How to weigh the 'evidence' particularly in areas where there isn't the money for a whole lot of rigorous research.Tips for doing your own investigation into the science (or not) behind whatever diet/lifestyle intervention you'd like to investigate.Ellen Steinke by a pre-med biology graduate and certified nutrition coach. Diagnosed with Hashimoto's herself, she distills complex information into understandable, actionable advice. She also leverages her personal journey and professional expertise to empower you with the knowledge and tools needed to take back control of your health.

With all the talk on my podcast about living a thyroid-friendly lifestyle,  you might wonder, what does that actually look like on a day to day basis.  Let me let you take a look into a 'typical' day in my life. Not that my life is perfect or all that interesting but sometimes it's helpful just to see what someone else does to live in a certain way.

Hopefully there might be one thing from what I do that is something you can take an try in your life. What works for me might not work for you or may be applied slightly differently.

If you've been listening for long enough, you'll have heard me say that whilst there are some common areas we all need to explore in our our journies, you will need to find your own unique lifestyle. I wish there was a formula or protocol for a happy thyroid but there just isn't.

This is simply what I'm doing at the moment, and this can and will change over time as I adapt to changes in my health or life!

The key areas I cover in this episode are:
My morning routine - exercise, breakfast, supplements etc.
My work day.
My dinner and evening routines - including food, sleep, supplements and movement.

Have you still got your gallbladder? Many with Hashimoto's don't. I had mine removed 17 years ago. Whether you have yours still or not, this is a conversation I've been wanting to have on the show for a long time because it really is so important for your liver and thyroid health too.

I'm thrilled speak today with Olivia Haas,  integrative nutritionist specialising in gallbladder health. Many people with gallbladder issues are often unaware of the vital connection between this organ and thyroid health. Olivia brings her personal journey alongside her professional expertise to the table, offering a holistic approach on how to navigate gallbladder disease, and its potential links to hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's.

This episode takes us on a deep exploration of the bi-directional relationship between the gallbladder and thyroid, and how hypothyroidism can increase the risk of gallbladder problems. Olivia, with her practical advice, shines a light on the role of lifestyle and diet in managing gallbladder health and provides support strategies for those who no longer have a gallbladder. The conversation also extends to the importance of liver health in relation to gallbladder problems, illuminating the interconnectedness of these crucial body parts.

We also delve into the topic of hormonal changes during pregnancy and postpartum and their potential impact on gallbladder health. In addition to all this insightful information, Olivia leaves us with her top tips on supporting gallbladder health. We also consider the steps that you, can take right now, to start improving your gallbladder health based on the information Olivia has shared. This episode is an essential listen for anyone seeking to unravel the mysteries of gallbladder health and its impact on their overall well-being.
