The Thyroid Collective: Caroline Webb on ‘thyropause', perimenopause, and more

TW: miscarriage, pregnancy loss

If anyone can transform dry statistics into practical yet compassionate healthcare, it’s Caroline. I love her quiet insistence on better health information, and creating the kind of health support that truly empowers women’s work in the world.

Caroline first faced health challenges after the birth of her second child, when intense fatigue began to hinder her ability to parent.

Diagnosed with an underactive thyroid - but given no information as to why this had occurred, or why symptoms continued despite medication - Caroline promptly determined to discover the wealth of nutrition and lifestyle work she could do to support her health.

Retraining as a Holistic Naturopathic Nutritional Practitioner, Caroline promptly leveraged her own pain for others’ gain, focusing particularly on thyroid and hormone/reproductive health in women.

We discuss the complex interplay between thyroid function and all other hormones in the body, the special relevance of thyroid health for women at various life stages, and how seeing all this in context of the wider health picture can make all the difference.

The Thyroid Collective: Sam Blackburn on all things energy

When you have burned out like Sam has, and then trained like Sam has, then you have compassion and knowledge in abundance to support clients who want to regain their energy levels and get their lives back.

I am so pleased to introduce a fellow member of The Thyroid Collective, a specialist group of nutrition and lifestyle medicine practitioners who, as well as pursuing a clinical focus on thyroid health issues, have each had our own journey with thyroid health.

In addition to this thyroid focus, Sam Blackburn’s busy clinic also specialises in supporting people experiencing ME / Chronic Fatigue and Long Covid.

We discuss the ways that food sensitivity, nutrients, viral load, stress, trauma and ‘small t’ trauma, mycotoxins, and even personality type, may play a significant role in determining one’s overall health and physical vigour.

As well as revealing some raw moments from her health journey, Sam shares the infectious hope she has gained from rebuilding her own energy and transforming her health.
