Let's Talk Thyroid - You'll be OK! Here's how I know... | Annabel Bateman | 124

You'll be OK! Here's how I know... | Annabel Bateman | 124

08/14/24 • 34 min

It’s common when you’re living with a chronic (long term) thyroid condition to not feel ok all the time. I’m here to encourage you, however, that you WILL be ok. I know because I’m ok and if I can be ok, so can you! Being ‘ok’ is not being ‘perfect’ which I don’t believe is attainable, but it is about feeling like there is hope, feeling like there are things you can do which will have a positive impact on your life.

The things I cover in this episode include:

The ebbs and flows of living long term with a thyroid condition
My almost 30 years of ups and downs
Situations that lead to not feeling ok
Warning signs you might be spiralling down
What to focus on to start spiralling up rather than keep spiralling down
My last 12 months as an example
The power of accountability
Life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21)
Remember to KISS when it feels complicated
Control what YOU CAN control - 4 key areas
Getting more bang for your buck by dealing with the low-hanging fruit
Resources I have to support you
Speaking a blessing over you
What’s your ONE next step?

Beyond the Thyroid | Dana Gibbs MD | 123

This is a first for the Let's Talk Thyroid podcast. The first time I've had an ENT (Ear Nose Throat) Surgeon on the show. Dr Dana Gibbs is an ENT and an allergist and is a wealth of knowledge on thyroid and hormone health. Like many of my guests, it was when she couldn't get answers to her own health challenges that she took her health into her own hands and started digging deeper, into the thyroid and beyond!

This is a fascinating conversation.

Some of what we cover includes:

Dr Gibbs thyroid story
Sinus/thyroid connection
Thyroid medication - personalised dosing, types of medications and when/how to take meds
The significance of T3
Thyroid nodules
Thyroidectomy and thyroid management after thyroidectomy (full or partial)
Interconnectedness of thyroid hormones and other hormones
Supplementing with estrogen
Thyroid & menopause overlap
Dr Gibbs 4 rules for thyroid health management.

Dr. Dana Gibbs is an educator, Hormone expert, board-certified ENT, and allergist. Dr. Gibbs attended medical school in San Antonio Texas and trained in Otolaryngology at the University of Kansas. She practiced otolaryngology in Arlington TX, USA for 23 years.

Her experience of ill health during her teen years all the way to her late 30's led to profound changes in the way she practices medicine. After spending those years unrecognized, dismissed, and told "it was all in her head", she found mentors in the Integrative Medicine world that helped her find the answers and solutions to her problems. These answers now inform her practice and educational efforts.

She recently opened Consultants in Metabolism, a direct care practice for thyroid, metabolic and hormone management for Women and Men. The practice offers live and virtual visits.

Dr.Gibbs also speaks in person and online, presenting workshops that introduce physicians and patients to the unique solutions of an integrative Hormone practice.
