Hello ,
Shout out to you ALL, I love this work!
Being in collaboration with each of you on your health journey is an honor and a gift. Y'all offer such wisdom and insight into your own process.
Did you know, one of the main reasons I left conventional medicine and created ISH Membership was because of the lack of community in the conventional medicine setting. Time and time again, as I was working in primary care I saw how isolation was a main factor in health decline. We as humans need one another to thrive. We need to belong and to feel seen and heard. This is a basic need. I am continually thinking of ways to foster connection and community.
AND
ISH Membership belongs to all of YOU! Your feedback has and will continue to shape what we are creating. THANKS for sharing your wisdom. Speaking of member wisdom, last week's group visit on Zoom was full of pearls from Members sharing nuggets of their journey. Have a listen (replay below).
Thank you for your trust and and showing up to yourself and creating health and vibrancy!
With EASE,
~ Lynn 🌈

What’s the deal with selenium and thyroid function? A recent meta-analysis of 35 randomized controlled trials found that selenium supplementation was associated with improvements in blood markers of thyroid function (specifically TPO antibodies and TSH) in people with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
While nutrition is neither a substitute for medical care nor a treatment for thyroid disease, basic biochemistry tells us that selenium is needed for thyroid hormone metabolism. One excellent food source of selenium is Brazil nuts!

💡Pro Health Tip |
|
Anything your body perceives as a stress triggers the release of cortisol, which impairs thyroid function.
More specifically, cortisol causes more T4 to convert to reverse T3 (an inactive form) instead of to active T3.
Stressful triggers a lot of people don’t think about include: |
|
🏃♀️➡️Over-exercising
🍽️Under-eating
☕️Over-caffeinating |
|
I get it—anybody struggling with thyroid concerns knows that you can be tempted to do all of these things just to try to combat the energy drain or weight gain.
But with functional medicine, we can move past these quick fixes and create long-term solutions. |

🔍 Did You Know? |

Rarely is a thyroid problem JUST a thyroid problem.
The thyroid is part of the larger endocrine system—which includes hormones produced in the brain, adrenals, ovaries, and pancreas too.
Hormones that have a bidirectional relationship with the thyroid include cortisol (stress hormone), insulin (blood sugar regulation), and estrogen (reproduction).
This is why we take a whole-person approach!
