EF#32: How Connected are Endometriosis and the Thyroid and How Does This Affect Your Fertility? Endo Fertility
-
- Nutrition
In today’s episode, I am sharing a fantastic interview with Lorna Driver-Davies all about the thyroid, Endo and fertility. It is a long one, but it’s because there was a lot to cover, and because it is quite a complicated subject and we wanted to unpick it and simplify it for you and make sure you have some things to talk to your doctor about if you have concerns, and ensure you are taken seriously. I did contemplate splitting it into two episodes, but decided against it – you can just pause it and continue at another time!
Lorna has worked for over a decade as a registered clinical nutritional therapist and naturopath. She is also Head of Nutrition at Wild Nutrition, a natural food-based supplement company, with a specific focus on women's health at all life stages including fertility.
Lorna specialises in Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, menstrual cycle irregularities and Endometriosis co-morbities, such as gastrointestinal dysfunctions and thyroid disease. This deep clinical experience has enabled her to develop her expertise and highly specific nutrition protocols for Endometriosis and Adenomyosis.
Lorna lectures to both doctors and nurses about nutrition for Endometriosis including to specialist Endometriosis surgeons, she also speaks to the public, patients in hospitals and charity support groups. Lorna’s published work includes an evidence-based peer reviewed case analysis chapter on nutrition for Endometriosis, thyroid and hormone health – the link to this book in available in the show notes.
In this episode we talk about:
Lorna’s personal experience with thyroid and Endometriosis How the thyroid works in the body Difference between hypo and hyperthyroidism and what they mean What thyroid auto-immune disease is and how it affects your body Symptoms of thyroid dysfunction Relationship between Endometriosis and the thyroid Why the thyroid is so important for fertility Thyroid testing and what to ask for Key nutrients and lifestyle to improve thyroid function When to seek professional help with your thyroid Supplements to support the thyroid As always there is lots more information about this episode on my website, i.e. what exactly was discussed, references, and the mentioned podcast episodes, blogs or resources: https://www.endofertilityspecialist.com/endo-fertility-podcast/
