Ep 9 Elle Russ: Thyroid health and hypothyroidism
“Take ownership with your health and condition... no one is going to do it for you” – Elle Russ
In this episode, Adam interviews Elle Russ who is a writer, actor, and life coach. She is a popular host of The Primal Blueprint Podcast ( Mark Sisson ), a top-20 ranked show in the Health category on iTunes. She interviews an assortment of guests including health experts, best-selling authors, athletes, and celebrities.
This interview contains valuable information on medical tests for thyroid health TSH, T3, T4, low body temperatures, functional medicine and much more.
Her best selling book is The Paleo Thyroid solution: The Paleo Thyroid Solution dispels outdated, conventional thyroid wisdom still practiced by uninformed doctors, and provides the in-depth guidance necessary to solve hypothyroidism, achieve vibrant health, and optimize thyroid fat-burning hormone metabolism. Over 200 million people worldwide and 20+ million Americans have some form of thyroid disease, but 60% are undiagnosed and unaware of their condition. Undiagnosed or mistreated hypothyroidism can put people at risk for serious conditions, such as: depression, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, gynecological issues (infertility/miscarriages/fibroids/PCOS etc.), hormonal imbalances, adrenal fatigue, anemia, and other diseases.
