Megan Taslaman The Thyroid Naturopath

Naturopathy is a system of healing that involves a patient-centred approach to health and encompasses a broad range of treatment options including dietary and lifestyle, food as medicine, nutritional & herbal medicine and flower remedies. A thorough consultation and analysis of your body systems allows Mega to highlight problem areas, and correct dysfunction by utilising a combination of evidenced-based medicine and traditional practices. I’m The Thyroid Naturopath – an advocate and educator for thyroid health. I empower women to make informed decisions about their hormonal health. I truly believe that swift, proactive lifestyle changes can prevent the worst manifestations of thyroid illnesses. And long before intensive medical solutions need to be administered. I have first-hand experience of the benefits of natural approaches to thyroid improvement – most of which are incredibly simple. My deep desire is that we as a society take our treatments back to their simplest beginnings and let nature do what it does best – nurture, heal and support. When I was studying to become a naturopath, I was exhausted all the time. By lunch time every day I’d be desperate for a nap in my office, or even on the massage table if I was lucky. I wasn’t more or less busy than anyone else I knew, and I couldn’t figure out why I felt so much worse than my peers. My hair was falling out and my skin dried out. It was a wild time of unusual, seemingly unrelated issues. Through my studies, I started to get the sense that perhaps my thyroid wasn’t performing as it should, so I did what I was ‘supposed to do’ and visited my doctor. I was immediately referred to an endocrinologist whose instinct was, of course, to write me a prescription for thyroid medication. I knew in my heart that a life dependent on medication was not the life I wanted for myself. Nor did it align with my chosen profession as a naturopath. So I got to work. I dove into the research, learned everything I could about how to overcome my challenges naturally and began to reboot my hormones and metabolism. It was a gradual return to ‘normal’ for me. It took lots of trial and a little bit of error along the way, but every experience I had has led me to today. Now I have completely dedicated my focus to helping my clients navigate their thyroid journey as naturally as possible. I am:

DEDICATED: As an advocate and educator, I won’t stop until my clients are well on their way to a natural, balanced existence, free from debilitating symptoms. PASSIONATE: As a naturopath, I am fully committed to sharing my knowledge of the wonders of natural therapies, and empowering women to make the best available choice for themselves. INNOVATIVE: As a clinician, I pride myself on my ability to deliver tailored, simple, holistic lifestyle solutions that support the shifts needed to live a fulfilled, balanced life of abundance.
