Mastering the Thyroid-Mood Connection - WEBINAR

Mastering the Thyroid-Mood Connection - WEBINAR

Some of the more common presentations in people with thyroid disorders are emotional and mental health issues. Depending on the type of thyroid condition, symptoms can typically include depression, mood swings, difficulties with cognition, failing memory and anxiety.
While the official incidence of hypothyroidism in Australia is estimated at 5.4 in 1000, the rate of subclinical hypothyroidism, and thus, related mood and cognitive issues, is likely to be much higher. For the clinician, this is a health concern that requires a comprehensive understanding of thyroid function, its relation to wider endocrine physiology and its impact on neurotransmitter and brain function. Only then can the practitioner implement an effective therapeutic strategy.
In this webinar, Beth Bundy ND will examine hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, and their influence on mood changes and intellectual performance. Adrenal hormones and neurotransmitters will also be reviewed as essential elements in relation to proper thyroid function.
This webinar will demonstrate how these synergistic pathways can be effectively assessed using functional pathology testing and case studies to provide better treatment protocols for your patients who may be suffering abnormal symptoms from their ‘normal’ results.

Webinar attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a real time question and answer session with our presenter, as well as ongoing access to the webinar via our e-learning platform to maximise their learning opportunity.
