Nutrition With Love

The Thyroid Collective: Caroline Webb on ‘thyropause', perimenopause, and more

Episode Summary

Why thyroid health is especially crucial for women

Episode Notes

TW: miscarriage, pregnancy loss

If anyone can transform dry statistics into practical yet compassionate healthcare, it’s Caroline. I love her quiet insistence on better health information, and creating the kind of health support that truly empowers women’s work in the world.

Caroline first faced health challenges after the birth of her second child, when intense fatigue began to hinder her ability to parent.

Diagnosed with an underactive thyroid - but given no information as to why this had occurred, or why symptoms continued despite medication - Caroline promptly determined to discover the wealth of nutrition and lifestyle work she could do to support her health.

Retraining as a Holistic Naturopathic Nutritional Practitioner, Caroline promptly leveraged her own pain for others’ gain, focusing particularly on thyroid and hormone/reproductive health in women.

We discuss the complex interplay between thyroid function and all other hormones in the body, the special relevance of thyroid health for women at various life stages, and how seeing all this in context of the wider health picture can make all the difference.
