Series 3 - Episode 5 Hypothyroid & Hashimoto's with Virginia Blake

As a nutritional therapist, I find myself supporting clients with hypothyroidism on a regular basis, so I was really pleased when my friend and colleague Virginia Blake agreed to talk to me about this complex and often misunderstood condition. Virginia is a really experienced practitioner and has so much useful information to share about supporting health in a realistic way when living with a chronic health condition.  We cover the basics of the thyroid gland, how it functions, and its role in the body.  We look at what can go wrong with the thyroid, the importance of thorough testing, and Virginia shines a light on some of the symptoms that can be linked to a thyroid disorder, that aren’t always recognised as such. We also cover some of the lesser known considerations when it comes to  Hashimoto’s, which is an autoimmune condition affecting the thyroid gland. This episode provides a frank, insightful and balanced approach to understanding and managing thyroid disorders, and I thank Virginia for sharing her views and opinions, which are very practical and often delivered with her trademark dry humour!
