More than 13 Million Americans Don’t Know They Have a Thyroid Issue: Are You One of Them?

GREEN BAY, Wis. - March 19, 2013 - PRLog -- New research suggests that the estimated number of individuals requiring thyroid support is twice the previously estimated level. Join Dr. Holly Lucille in this complimentary webinar, Modern Day Thyroid Function: Going Beyond the Gland.  This webinar is exclusively for healthcare practitioners and will explain how thyroid function is often assessed inadequately and how women, in particular, may not receive appropriate thyroid care.

According to Dr. Lucille, “Thyroid function affects the metabolism of every cell of the body. Evaluating the impact of modern day influences, such as environmental exposure and nutrient deficiencies, in addition to assessing hormone levels, is a critical path to optimizing thyroid function and resolving a myriad of clinical concerns.”

In this webinar, Dr. Lucille will share her strategies for detecting and addressing thyroid and adrenal issues. Participants will:

• Understand the incidence and underappreciated consequences.
• Review thyroid physiology and anatomy, the biochemistry of thyroid hormones, and the nutritional cofactors involved.
• Review the clinical manifestations.
• Review normal ranges of various thyroid function tests, understand the limits of functional and laboratory testing, and appreciate the gradations of thyroid function.
• Gain an understanding of the causes and contributing factors of underlying issues, including environmental endocrine disruptors, dietary compounds, medications and lifestyle stressors.
• Develop a holistic approach to the thyroid, employing core naturopathic principles.
• Review lifestyle, nutritional, herbal and glandular interventions for optimizing thyroid function.
