# Online Thyroid Consultation: A Pro-Metabolic Approach

By Dr. Benedicte Lerche · Thyroid Health

> How my online thyroid consultations work — from the first session evaluating your thyroid function to customised diet, supplement, and hormonal support.

In these sessions, there is a focus on your thyroid function and hormonal balance. My thyroid promoting diet and health advice, inspired by [Dr. Ray Peat](/blog/who-is-dr-ray-peat)’s bioenergetic approach, is customized to your needs.

## How Do the Online Counseling Sessions Work?

The counseling sessions take place online via Google Meet. You will get a link for the video call and you do not need to install any program. I speak English and Danish.

**_The first session:_**

In the first session, there is a focus on your metabolic and hormonal issues, and I evaluate your thyroid function. You can test your thyroid function using the home thyroid test I describe in my book [Test Your Thyroid Function](/books/test-your-thyroid-function). You can send your pulse rate and temperature measurements prior to the first session.

If you have had thyroid function [blood tests](/blog/thyroid-blood-tests) done, these are also taken into account and can be e-mailed prior to the first session. I can also guide you on which blood tests to have done at your doctor if these will be helpful in getting the full picture of your metabolic status. In my [Thyroid Optimization™](/courses/thyroid-optimization) course, you can learn more about thyroid blood tests.

**_Following sessions:_**

When your thyroid function has been evaluated, we work together to customise the diet recommendations to your needs, and I look at what supplements are important for you.

## What Does My Hypothyroid Treatment Method Include?

My hypothyroid treatment method includes — besides the thyroid supporting diet — also nutritional supplements to support metabolism and hormones, natural desiccated thyroid ([How to Use Thyroid Medication](/books/how-to-use-thyroid-medication)) as well as hormonal support with [Hormone Restore™](/courses/hormone-restore).

Many clients have problems with very high stress hormones and inflammatory symptoms, so diet and supplement advice to lower stress and inflammation is often an important subject.

## What If You Need More Thyroid Support?

If you need more thyroid support than obtained from diet and nutritional supplement changes, I can help you use natural thyroid supplements to boost your thyroid gland. I do not prescribe medication, but I often work with people who are on prescription [thyroid medication](/blog/thyroid-medication) from their doctor. In these cases, I can help you manage and understand your medication and your body's reaction to it. My book [How to Use Thyroid Medication](/books/how-to-use-thyroid-medication) is also a valuable resource for this. Many clients have problems with estrogen dominance and progesterone deficiency — in these cases, hormonal support compounds are often useful, and I cover these in my [Hormone Restore™](/courses/hormone-restore) course.
