I am thrilled to have a new 40-minute audio for you, specifically on thyroid health!
Dr Johnson Tamlit, co-founder of health and wellness community Momentum Resilient Life, interviews me on:
- what the thyroid does
- how to tell if you may have thyroid issues
- the many things you can do if they arise.
Many clients have told me how confusing and lonely it feels to face a thyroid diagnosis, or not to have their symptoms investigated seriously.
This conversation aims to clear up confusion, show you that you’re not alone, and give you tools to tackle thyroid health with more peace and confidence.
So it might be a helpful recording for you, or you may know people who’ve got thyroid issues rumbling in the background. Please do pass it on!
See below for time stamps to help you navigate, and here's the link:
I hope you enjoy the conversation! For more on Dr Tamlit's work, I encourage you to go to his website Momentum Resilient Life
And if you, or anyone you know, would like to find out more about personalised support for thyroid health, please get in touch to ask anything you like, or set up a free, no-obligation discovery call to find out more.
To your very best of health,
Clare
