UPGRADE YOUR PRACTICE
Strengthen your approach to thyroid dysfunction
Thyroid dysfunction is common, but its underlying causes are often overlooked.
This byte helps you move beyond standard treatment approaches by exploring the mechanisms that drive thyroid dysfunction, equipping you with deeper insights to personalise care and improve patient outcomes.
01
Understand why thyroid autoimmunity persists
Discover the often-overlooked biological mechanisms that contribute to thyroid dysfunction and influence treatment outcomes.
02
Improve Clinical Decision-Making
Learn how to evaluate thyroid pathology through a deeper understanding of thyroid metabolism and endocrinological pathways
03
Apply Nutrigenomics to Real-World Cases
Gain practical insights into how nutrigenomic principles can help restore healthy thyroid function and support better patient outcomes.
WHAT YOU LEARN
Bridge the gap between Nutrigenomic theory and better patient outcomes
Why conventional treatments often fail
The hidden drivers of autoimmunity and thyroid dysfunction
how thyroid metabolism is regulated
A new framework for assessing thyroid dysfunction

YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Dr Christine Houghton
PhD · Nutritional Biochemist · Founder, Institute for Nutrigenomic Medicine
A clinician, researcher and educator, Dr Houghton has spent decades translating the molecular science of nutrigenomics into something a practitioner can use on a Monday morning. Her work focuses on the cellular pathways through which food-derived molecules influence gene expression.
The Conversations Series distils that complex sub-specialty into a streamlined, conversational format — designed in response to an urgent need for genuine graduate-level education on applying nutrigenomic principles in a clinical environment.
“While gene testing reveals SNP patterns, the real power lies in understanding the biochemical processes that drive gene expression.”
