Thyroid Webinar, September 2025 [RECORDING]

This webinar took place on 3 September 2025

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?

A delicate, butterfly-shaped gland resting in the throat chakra, the thyroid is far more than a metabolic regulator. It orchestrates the ancient dialogue between mitochondria and nucleus, modulating the balance between energy generation and protein synthesis in every cell. Through this conversation, it sets the Basal Metabolic Rate – the body’s foundational rhythm of vitality.

Yet despite its profound role, the thyroid remains misunderstood, under assessed and often overlooked. Today, thyroid imbalances are not rare anomalies – they are common physiological narratives woven into modern life.

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
