Hey lovely,

Thanks for reaching out! :)

Rachael went to Dr Ruth Quinney at the Cassia Wellness Clinic at the Gold Coast – she specializes in thyroid.

Rachael says that in terms of naturopaths in Australia, it really depends on what the issue is and what city you are in.
She doesn’t really have any good recommendations, unfortunately.
She recommends that you do lots of research and find one that really specializes in your hormone issue – the more specialized they are, the better!

Hope this helps! :) xx

Love,
Ana

Hi lovely,

The main factor for my hypothyroidism was actually adrenal fatigue and really high and then really low cortisol levels. The thyroid hormone T4 needs to convert to T3 (T3 is the active form). My messed up cortisol levels were causing T4 to convert to Reverse T3, and so my T3 was very low. The issues with cortisol were actually brought on my stress, travel and not sleeping. Long term birth control use can also contribute though. Your thyroid needs iodine, iron, selenium and zinc to function properly. Birth control depletes these nutrients and makes you deficient, so your thyroid doesn’t work as well. I had to take all of these as supplements. Also, I had hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), not hyperthyroidism (overactive). I hope that helps!

Love,
Rachael

Did your doctor indicate that your hyperthyroidism was due to the long term birth control use or other factors as well?
