#038: Thyroid 101 - Dr Michael Ruscio

We all know that we've got a thyroid, and we might have heard of things like hypothyroidism Hashimoto's thyroiditis, but it's a little-understood organ. What does it actually do, where does it live, what does it feel like if it doesn't work properly and what can we do to help it?

Functional medicine expert Dr Michael Ruscio joins me on this week's episode of the show to talk about how to care for your thyroid, the Paleo link to improving your overall health, why iodine and the chemicals added to tap water can cause you to become fatigued and gain weight, and how soft drink companies have the best business model in the world for getting you addicted to their products.

We covered:

- The best self-care strategies for your thryoid (and self-destruct habits to avoid)

- How the thyroid can be the missing link to your weight loss

- The impact of high-iodine 'healthy' foods such as milk and eggs on your overall feeling of well-being
