It’s not just genes; your environment could be harming your thyroid. I had the pleasure to sit down with thyroid expert Dr. Izabella Wentz and talk about all things thyroid last year, and one of my favorite moments of the interview was our discussion around environmental toxins and their impact on the thyroid health.After being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis in 2009, Dr. Wentz was surprised at the lack of conventional medical knowledge about lifestyle interventions for Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, and autoimmune conditions. She decided to take on lifestyle interventions as a personal mission, in an effort to help herself and others with Hashimoto’s.In this podcast, we discuss the following:Thyroid harming toxins in your waterMakeup products that are harming your healthHow to determine if you’re mercury sensitiveHow to detoxify your bodyHow chronic infections affect thyroid healthHow leaky gut can lead to thyroid disorderTo learn more about taking care of your thyroid, check out my recent blog post at drhyman.com.Wishing you health and happiness,Mark Hyman, MD
