The Wellness Mama Podcast

I’m here with someone I deeply admire and I’m incredibly grateful for. Dr. Alan Christianson is a naturopathic endocrinologist who focuses on thyroid function and specifically Hashimoto’s (which I had) as well as hypothyroidism and Graves’ disease. Dr. Christianson was actually the first doctor to diagnose me (correctly) and guide me to my recovery. He’s also done this for thousands of people in his years of practice. In this episode, we go deep on, of course, thyroid health, but also things like iodine, weight loss, and some confounding factors that aren’t always considered when it comes to thyroid. Episode Highlights With Dr. Alan Christianson Specific resources to help with thyroid disease Some important reasons to consider avoiding iodine with thyroid disease Why you likely need less iodine, not more, if you have thyroid disease (this was an important factor for me) The hidden source of iodine you’ve probably never considered How to know if you’re putting iodine on you
