health nerds – Der Podcast über artgerechtes-leben
The thyroid gland sets the pace and is an important regulator in the human body - but its function is impaired in one in three people. And this can quickly become a problem: The thyroid produces hormones that, for example, regulate our metabolism, keep our heart beating in time and keep our body temperature as constant as possible.
In this episode of HEALTH NERDS, podcast host Felix Moese and health scientist Matthias Baum talk about factors that throw our thyroid out of balance: If this tiny organ in our throat produces too much (hyperthyroidism) or too little (hypothyroidism) of a certain hormone, the effects can be significant: Stubborn tiredness, physical weakness, uncontrolled weight gain, sudden hair loss, a strong feeling of cold or heat, dry skin, palpitations, increased nervousness or even depressive moods.
What warning signs should we look out for? What role do micronutrients such as iodine, selenium and zinc play in thyroid health? Why do women in particular often suffer from a chronically inflamed thyroid (Hashimoto's disease)? How do lifestyle, stress and diet affect this small organ? And what can we do specifically to balance our thyroid gland? HEALTH NERDS. Man, simply explained.
