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 is 2. What are the signs and symptoms of a thyroid imbalance 3. How prevalent is Hashimoto's disease (hint: it's a lot more common than you'd think) 4. What the microbiome mash-up is 5. What to look for when testing for a thyroid imbalance 6. The difference between Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism 7. And much more!
