Webinar, Thyroid 2

Learning the Language of the Thyroid – Halides, Herbs, and Case Studies

What are halides and how do these vital minerals determine thyroid health and disease? Does iodine have a role in tissue health, beyond the thyroid gland? What unseen toxins might be interfering with glandular health? And how do genetics, environment, and lifestyle converge to shape the familial stories of thyroid health?

Webinar 2: Case Studies and Clinical Strategies

Having gathered an appreciation of the anatomy and functioning of the butterfly gland, in this second webinar of the series, we focus initially on the Halides, elements that have a critical role in determining thyroid and glandular health. We explore clinical and laboratory parameters of thyroid function assessment and practical and botanical interventions that can support thyroids function and resilience.

In this session, we focus on translating knowledge into practice:

• The role of iodine in glandular health.
• The impact of toxic halides, and how they compete with iodine, disrupting hormonal synthesis.
• Integrative treatment strategies – nutrition, supplements, lifestyle practices and medicinal plants to support thyroid function.
• A familial case study – a detailed exploration of hereditary patterns of thyroid imbalance.

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:

• Herbs for Thyroid Support
• Pharmaceuticals for Thyroid Support
