What is Hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism, sometimes called an “underactive thyroid”, happens when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone to meet the body’s needs. This can affect energy, mood, digestion, weight, menstrual cycles and long-term health in far-reaching ways.
In the majority of cases of primary hypothyroidism, the underlying cause is Hashimotos's thyroiditis, which is autoimmune. For some people this process is slow and subtle; for others it can be dramatic, confusing and life-changing.
What this webinar will cover
This webinar with Functional Herbalist Alyssa Dalos is designed to help you understand what is really happening in your body, and how a holistic, root-cause approach can sit alongside conventional care. It is suitable whether you are newly diagnosed, have been on thyroid medication for years or simply suspect that “something is off” with your thyroid.
- How it works: a clear tour of the hypothalamus–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) axis and how thyroid hormones are made, converted and used in the body.
- How it breaks: what goes wrong in primary hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and why symptoms can be so wide-ranging and individual.
- How we support it: the foundations of Alyssa’s clinical approach, including Western herbal medicine, functional medicine insights, nutrition and movement.
- Real-life patterns: how fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, menstrual problems, digestive issues and autoimmune clusters can all relate back to thyroid health.
- Working with your team: how holistic thyroid care can complement GP or specialist treatment, rather than replace it.
There will also be dedicated time for live questions, so you can bring your own experience into the conversation and explore next steps that feel realistic and personalised.
We’ll host a live Q&A at the end of the webinar. You’re welcome to submit questions in advance here, and we’ll answer as many as we can during the session.
Please note: this Q&A is for general educational information only. We can’t diagnose, treat, prescribe, or provide personalised medical advice, and we won’t be able to respond to questions about an individual’s medical history, symptoms, medications, test results, or treatment plan—please speak to your herbalist or medical professional for personal guidance.
Who is this webinar for?
This session is intended for people living with, or strongly suspecting, hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s, as well as those who want to understand thyroid health in the context of complex, long-standing symptoms.
- You have a diagnosis of hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s or “borderline” / subclinical thyroid issues and still do not feel like yourself.
- You experience fatigue, brain fog, low mood, weight changes, cold intolerance, period problems or digestive issues that have never fully resolved.
About Alyssa Dalos, Functional Herbalist
Alyssa is a Functional Herbalist, qualified in 2019, who supports women and LGBTQIA+ people living with complex, long-standing health concerns. With five years of clinical experience, she blends Western herbal medicine, functional medicine, nutrition and movement to offer thoughtful, sustained care that addresses root causes and builds lasting resilience.
She specialises in autoimmune conditions such as hypothyroidism and coeliac disease, female reproductive health including PCOS, endometriosis and PMDD, and chronic issues such as pain, IBS, constipation and reflux. She works particularly well with patients who feel unheard or stuck in cycles of symptoms that never quite resolve.
Alyssa’s approach is both evidence-informed and deeply holistic. She honours the lineage of traditional herbalism while engaging critically with modern healthcare, holding that good medicine is compassionate, contextual, and conscious of the wider systems we all live within. Her aim is to help patients uncover what “healthy” truly means for them—and to support the steady, practical habit changes required to get there
What you will take away
By the end of the webinar, you will have a clearer map of how your thyroid works, how common patterns of hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s develop and why symptoms often extend far beyond “just the thyroid”.
- A grounded understanding of the HPT axis and key thyroid lab markers (TSH, T4, T3) in plain language.
- Insight into how immune, digestive, hormonal and nervous system health all intersect with thyroid function.
- An overview of how herbal medicine, nutrition, movement and lifestyle can be integrated alongside standard medical care.
The focus will be educational, not prescriptive: specific treatment recommendations can only be made in individual consultations, but this session will help you understand the landscape so that future choices feel more informed.
