Taught by herbalist Bonnie Bloom. This class is an introduction to the small endocrine organ in our throat that has important metabolic jobs in our body. Sifting through all the available information I will present a a brief discussion of biology and a wider variety of options and information than is usually presented by an endocrinologist. Anyone with a thyroid issue must work with a licensed medical person who can monitor hormone levels with testing. The herbs and foods, and lifestyle changes we will talk about are in addition to their monitoring and care, not a substitute. We will discuss hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s and Graves to differentiate them and to differentiate their treatment.
