Conscious Health & Life Ellen Louise Naturopath

In this episode we have the amazing Mel Briggs back for a PART 2 of our thyroid series. In this epsiode we are delving deep into Hashimoto's disease!

Did you know that 80% of hypothyroidism is caused by Hashimoto's autoimmune disease.

So many people with Hashimoto's go undiagnosed and therefore the root cause is never addressed and they end up consistently struggling and having to increase doses of medications.



In this episode we will cover:


What is Hashimoto's
Subclinical versus overt Hashimoto's
Why medication - Thyroxine is not enough
Why Thyroxine is an inactive storage hormone - still needs converting and it doesn’t really address the autoimmune component of the disease.
Nodule/goitre/thyroid cancer risk - Do I need an ultrasound?
Risk of further autoimmune diseases.
How COVID affects autoimmune disease.
Link with EBV and Hashimoto's
Stress and Hashimoto's
Implications in fertility
Environmental toxins and Hashimotos - living on a farm, painters, pesticides, mould exposure, fake tanning, mercury fillings, exposure to chlorine and flouride etc.

Do you suspect you have a hormonal imbalance? Have you been told that you just need to go on contraception to fix everything?

Hormone imbalance is not a one size fits all, there can be MANY varying different symptom pictures for each individual.

Some common signs of hormonal imbalance that can be fixed and are not normal or something you have to just "put up with" can include mood swings, period pain, acne, sugar cravings, fatigue, migraines & headaches, heavy periods, clots in period blood, painful or swollen breasts, spotting throughout the cycle, sleep issues, hair loss, excess hair growth, dry skin, sluggish digestion - plus many more.

There are many different factors that can imbalance your hormones including endocrine disruptors, stress, contraceptives, gut and liver issues just to name a few.

Testing for hormone imbalances is essential and this is something covered in this episode.

How many times have you heard “Your blood tests came back all normal” and you’re sitting there in front of your healthcare practitioner with your eyes hanging out of your head and about to cry if you hear that line once more?


Honestly, the amount of times I have heard that from patients is absolutely uncountable!

Blood pathology is such an exciting part of your health journey and can uncover so much more than what you may think.

Blood pathology optimal ranges are based on the people who get the blood tests done.

Usually “healthy people” don’t get sent to do blood tests all too often. Blood test optimal ranges are based on an average of the people who get the blood tests done.

Therefore, the optimal ranges I want my patients to be in are often different to the “standard” on the lab form.

Blood pathology can mean so much more than just what google says.

I have spent many years studying how to interpret blood pathology better and more in depth. Even a simple iron test can tell us a lot about how your immune system, adrenals and hormones are functioning.



Check out episode 15 here all about iron deficiency and why it's not just about how much red meat you eat or what iron supps you take.



Free optimal ranges pathology guide available for download here so you can cross check your bloods.
