The Cause of Weight Gain, Blood Sugar Spikes, & Hormonal Issues Unrelated Food | Heather Stone

196: Dr. Heather Stone is a functional practitioner who specializes in thyroid dysfunction and is the author of the book *Thyroid Transformation Blueprint*. In this episode, we discuss the common symptoms of thyroid issues, what to look for to determine if you need testing, how to get tested, and what to do if you are experiencing low thyroid symptoms. We cover key signs such as weight gain, difficulty losing weight, constipation, hair loss, and other related factors.  Dr. Heather also sheds light on how blood sugar is influenced not only by the foods we eat but also by other lifestyle factors, which can lead to spikes in blood sugar. We delve into topics like diet, what to eat and avoid, medications, and resources for women, as well as why it's important to look beyond the thyroid to effectively manage thyroid health. This episode is packed with valuable information that I believe everyone will find beneficial. I truly hope you enjoy the conversation I had with Dr. Heather Stone.
