We chat with Lauren Papanos, MS, RD, CSSD, and a nationally recognized nutrition expert specializing in hormone, thyroid, and metabolic health. Lauren discusses the critical role of thyroid function in women's health, emphasizing that many women are unaware that their symptoms may stem from low thyroid function. She explains the significance of TSH and free T3, highlighting that free T3 is essential for various bodily functions, including hair growth, digestion, and pregnancy. Papanos notes that a significant percentage of women experience low free T3 levels due to underlying health imbalances. Lauren is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Board-Certified Sports Dietitian, trained in functional endocrinology and immunology.
