An Evidence Based Look at the Gut-Thyroid Connection with Dr. Travis Cox
When your doctor diagnosed you with a thyroid imbalance, did they explain the gut-thyroid connection to you?Most likely not.What most women aren't being told is that there is in fact a connection and if addressed properly, can transform the entire trajectory of your thyroid healing journey.In this episode of the PPG Show, I interview Dr. Travis Cox, who dives deep into the details of this connection in addition to: 1. What the thyroid gland is2. What are the signs and symptoms of a thyroid imbalance3. How prevalent is Hashimoto's disease (hint: it's a lot more common than you'd think)4. What the microbiome mash-up is5. What to look for when testing for a thyroid imbalance6. The difference between Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism7. And much more!Further Reading:Microbiome in Hashimoto’s:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28903182/Changes in gut microbiota with hypothyroidism: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29320965/Thyroid hormone balance via the gut microbiota:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25516464/Thyroid hormone metabolism & the gut microbiota:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28167127/Hashimoto’s and Gall bladder connection: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6129049/Find Dr. Travis Cox online:Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/plant-based-and-healthy/id1603314209Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourvegandoc/__________________________Join the Healthy Gut Solution Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/thehealthygutsolution Follow Roslyn on Instagram: www.instagram.com/plantsfirstnutrition
