Your thyroid controls much of what happens in your body, including the health of your reproductive system. Healthy pregnancies require healthy thyroid functioning. But general thyroid labs are often limited and too general. We speak with functional medicine and NaProTechnology trained family nurse practitioner, Amanda Frederick, about how to identify, diagnose, and treat thyroid issues that could cause pregnancy loss. This episode is informative and practical!
NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences, and does mention pregnancy loss/miscarriage.
