Podcast - Herbs for Thyroid Health with Berris Burgoyne

Research shows that many herbs can be beneficial for patients with thyroid conditions. However, not all products are created equal.

When it comes to herbs, we must be cautious about the quality of the products we choose. Everything from how they’re grown to how they’re processed will impact their effectiveness. The goal of this episode is not to promote any particular brand of herbs but to clarify what to look for when it comes to high-quality herbal products.

For this conversation, I’m joined by Berris Burgoyne, a renowned naturopathic clinician with 33 years of experience. She owns and runs a naturopathic practice in Brisbane, Australia. She is a well-known international speaker and has lectured in Australia and New Zealand and has also lectured extensively in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and South Africa.

What sets Berris apart as a speaker and educator is her ability to take very complex technical data and transform it into practical clinical information that is easy to understand and apply. This, coupled with her extensive clinical experience, makes her an authoritative and dynamic presenter.

In this episode, Berris shares her extensive insights into herbal medicine, what to look for when selecting a product, the different herbs she uses with hyperthyroid and hypothyroid patients, why it’s essential to work with a qualified practitioner to find the herbs that are right for you, and more.
