My goal for this podcast is to define and demystify the thyroid gland, and thyroid-related medicalconditions. By providing information in an easy-to-understand format, we hope to help patients betterunderstand the ways in which their bodies work, and to help them thrive. My goal is to help us live morefulfilling lives by taking control of our health, to feel our best.I wanted to do this podcast to provide life-saving education and encourage patients to see a doctor in time toprevent or minimize damage. That’s deeply fulfilling. I enjoy helping folks understand how all aspects of theirlives are tied to both thyroid and overall health.In fact, this is why I went into endocrinology. It’s a medical art that combines science with the study of ourlives—and all that they encompass.To recap just some of what we discussed in episode 12—not necessarily in this order: Some of the hidden benefits of exercise; How exercise can help with our mood; The importance of consistent exercise; The difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercise; The benefits of exercise and the prevention of dementia; Overcoming negative attitudes from the past, to enjoy exercise and movement today. And best of all, we learned that we CAN impact our thyroid health.For information on the supplements mentioned in some episodes of this podcast, please visit the WellnessStore at metaboliccenterforwellness.com.CITATION FOR THE STUDY REFERENCED IN EPISODE 12:Omura JD, Brown DR, McGuire LC, Taylor CA, Fulton JE, Carlson SA.
