Your thyroid does not operate in isolation. It is part of a larger hormonal network controlled by the brain and heavily influenced by stress.

This podcast explains how the HPA axis (stress system) and the HPT axis (thyroid system) interact, and why managing stress is often one of the most important factors in restoring metabolic and hormonal balance.
