The auto-immune, thyroid & mental health connection

Most people who come to see me for depression, anxiety, mood ups/downs, hair loss, insomnia, weight problems, etc etc… I discover that they have a thyroid gland which isn’t working up to speed. Why? Because of auto-immunity. Auto-immune thyroid disease is the most prevalent cause of thyroid dysfunction in Australia. Anyone I see in my practice, whether for whole body Naturopathic/Nutrition consultations; or Counselling/Psychotherapy – if anyone has energy problems/fatigue, brain fog, heart rate imbalances, digestion issues, mood and body temperature imbalances – I suggest they get a full thyroid panel blood test done asap (see below for what that involves).

And yes, it does support our immune system plus a whole lot more. The primary positive benefit is to reduce inflammation, the big factor in all illness.

Time Restricted Feeding or the 5/2 Diet has now been made popular by Michael Mosley fame.
