What you will learn

  • Course Summary

  • The incidence of the autoimmune condition “Hashimoto’s Disease” which accounts for the majority of hypothyroidism cases, is fast growing. Not only is this condition potentially preventable, but it can be addressed and well managed with dietary and lifestyle shifts. More than the what and the why, creating personalized strategies for how to help patients put dietary recommendations into practice is the secret sauce to effecting long lasting changes that have measurable results.

    Mary Purdy, an integrative dietitian with 11+ years experience of helping patients make diet and lifestyle changes will present ideas on how to support thyroid and immune function by ensuring a nutrient dense diet, addressing food sensitivities and providing guidance around sleep habits and stress management that can affect autoimmunity. The presentation will also incorporate helpful techniques for motivational interviewing, exploring barriers and working to meet patients where they are at in order to create effective, realistic and whole person centered recommendations.
