Many of us may be suffering from thyroid issues and not even be aware of it.  We can find it difficult to get going in the mornings or think that our weight gain or thinning hair down to our age, but in fact we may have a problem with our thyroid.  Those of you who are practitioners may recognise the signs in your clients, but because even the conventional diagnostic tests may not be sensitive enough to diagnose it, your client may need more convincing.  This cutting edge webinar, hosted by nutrition practitioner Dr Elisabeth Philipps, covers both the low and high aspects of thyroid function. So, if you are feeling wired and have difficulty in putting on weight, this webinar is also for you!

How can this webinar benefit you?  When you know that the Thyroid UK study has found 12% of the UK population (over 8 million people) is believed to have full blown or subclinical underfunctioning of the thyroid gland (hypothyroidism), you can see there is problem on a massive scale. The majority of cases are a mainly female population with over 6 million cases. However, the Thyroid UK Study believes that that the incidence is much higher due to undiagnosed hypothyroidism.

With so many cases of thyroid disorders, and therefore long-term medication, in the UK it is crucial to understand how this vital organ functions and how to naturally support it to maintain good health.

Renowned nutritionist, Dr Elisabeth Philipps will guide you through the intricacies of the thyroid gland during this hour-long Nutrigold webinar. You will discover how you or your clients can benefit from nutritional therapy within a naturopathic programme that can positively influence vital thyroid and hormonal health.
