    • We cover Hypothyroidism, Hyperthyroidism, Autoimmune Thyroid Disorders (Hashimoto's thyroiditis & Graves' disease), Thyroid Nodules, and Thyroid Cancer
  • Possible Causes of Thyroid Dysunction 
    • We cover 16 possible underlying causes of thyroid dysfunction - including autoimmunity, gluten sensitivity, chronic infections, toxins, nutrient deficiencies, gut dysfunction, liver dysfunction, HPA Axis Dysfunction, etc
    • For each possible underlying cause, we explain how it can cause thyroid dysfunction and the best lab tests to use to investigate whether that particular underlying cause might be an issue for your client 
    • We provide an in-depth look at each of the chronic infections (such as H. pylori, Epstein Barr Virus, Yersinia enterocolitica, etc) that have been linked with thyroid dysfunction - including information about each infection, common symptoms of the infection, what kind of thyroid dysfunction the infection has been linked with, and the best lab tests to use to test for each infection 
  • Thyroid Blood Test Interpretation 
    • We cover the following lab test markers: TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Thyroid Antibodies, Reverse T3, Total T4, Total T3, T3 Uptake, Free Thyroxine Index, Thyroglobulin, and TBG 
    • We go over the opimal "functional" range for each marker as well as possible reasons for each marker to be low or high 
  • Other Tests That Might Show "Red Flags" For Thyroid Dysfunction 
    • We review markers and patterns from other lab tests that might suggest thyroid dysfunction - including blood chemistry panels, the DUTCH Test, the OAT Test, Micronutrient testing, etc. 
  • How To Address The Underlying Causes of Thyroid Dysfunction 
    • For each of the 16 possible underlying causes of thyroid dysfunction we previously discussed, we then go over specific nutrtional supplements, dietary changes, and natural therapies that may be helpful for each possible underlying cause. 
  • How To Correct Different Types of Thyroid Dysfunction Seen On Lab Tests 
    • We show numerous thyroid lab test examples (for suboptimal thyroid dysfunction, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and autoimmune thyroid disorders), explain the interpretation of the markers, and discuss possible interventions to consider for each scenario
