In today’s session, we dive into a fertility discussion around one of the most vital glands in the human body, your thyroid. The thyroid is responsible for regulating your hormones, metabolism, growth, and overall development. Most importantly, research has shown that thyroid function plays a massive role in reproductive health. It is tied to several fertility challenges such as menstrual irregularities, egg and embryo quality issues as well as early pregnancy loss, preterm delivery and preeclampsia. Studies have shown a correlation between hypothyroidism and low ovarian reserve, leading to a poor response to IVF treatments. Low thyroid function is the most common thyroid issue we see, affecting nearly 5% of the population. In my clinical practice, I am seeing low thyroid be especially prevalent in those seeking fertility treatment.
Curious about what is causing your thyroid to underperform? Nutritional challenges such as iodine deficiency, hormonal changes (IVF, postpartum), toxins, inflammation, diet and more. Since Hashimoto's is a common culprit, inflammation is central to the conversation. Before diving into immune treatments, let's see what can be done naturally. As always, I want to encourage you to address the root cause of your challenges for the best outcomes.
Tune in as we discuss how thyroid dysfunction directly affects fertility as well as some natural strategies to treat these imbalances such as ashwagandha and kelp.
