Learning the Language of the Thyroid – Drivers of Imbalance and their Clinical Presentation
What rhythm is the body dancing to? What inner tempo nurtures its energy, warmth, clarity, rest and growth? What happens when the pace slows… or accelerates out of sync with the whole? Why, in the modern world, has the thyroid become so exquisitely vulnerable?
Webinar 1: Theory
In this session we explore the multidimensional physiology of thyroid function and the complex landscape of factors that disrupt it including:
- The raison d’être of the thyroid, its evolutionary purpose, cellular intelligence, structural needs and vulnerabilities.
- The modern thyroid crisis from age-related hypometabolism to the escalating rise of autoimmune thyroid disease – Hashimoto’s, Graves’, subclinical patterns, postpartum shifts and stress-mediated suppression.
- The drivers of dysfunction – a layered map of many influences – metabolic, psychosocial, toxic, nutritional.
- Clinical manifestations, both overt and subtle, brining into awarenessthe early whispers of thyroid imbalance.
- Laboratory interpretation, bringing clarity to TSH, T4, T3, reverse T3, TPO, TgAb and the often-misunderstood functional ranges that reveal thyroid dysregulation
This lesson includes:
- Detailed slide deck with mind maps and illustrative graphics
- Webinar recording (video and MP3 audio – 90+ minutes)
- Helpful glossary of key terms
BONUS handouts and guides:
- Assessment of Thyroid Function
- Ray Peat on the Thyroid
- Sex Hormones and Thyroid Function
- Recommended Labs and Products for Thyroid Health
Each resource expands the practitioner’s toolkit, offering biochemical insight, clinical nuance and integrative strategies for identifying and addressing thyroid dysfunction.
