#71 Jessica Drummond- Talking Thyroid Health And The Female Athlete




Thyroid Nation Radio show

Summary: Join myself, Danna and co-host, Tiffany Mladinich as we talk with special guest, Jessica Drummond, founder of www.IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com! We'll be discussing:  Does intense exercise in childhood or adolescence impact thyroid health for girlls?  Nutritionists, physical therapists, fitness professionals and other health professionals have been on the lookout for female athlete triad in adolescent athletes for decades, but the research has evolved and now these professionals need to expand their screening programs to look for Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S)?  What should athletic girls and women and their coaches and healthcare professionals be screening for? What can female athletes do to protect their HPA-T axis health in order to protect their long term health and still optimize their athletic performance? It's going to be a wonderfully, informative and enlightening show! Also, please check out our Radio Show Facebook Group, Hashi's & Graves.
