Seminar Description:

From how quickly your heart beats to how effectively you burn calories, this butterfly-shaped gland in your neck regulates all aspects of your metabolism by releasing hormones.

So when your thyroid slows down, a condition called hypothyroidism, your health suffers.  

Join Dr. Angela LaSalle for a discussion about how the thyroid gland, which weighs only about an ounce, plays a big role in your body’s day-to-day functioning. 


Dr. Angela LaSalle's practice includes treatment and evaluation of hormonal issues related to thyroid, metabolic syndrome and bio-identical hormone replacement. She has a special interest in the biochemistry, physiology, and inflammatory responses that occur in the body, affecting our genes and brain chemicals.

Believing that addressing all of these are necessary to fight illness and disease, Dr. LaSalle places an emphasis on treating the body as a whole and looking for the common thread that leads to numerous degenerative processes.

Looking at the interaction between our genetics and environment, Dr. LaSalle is a strong believer that inflammation is the underlying cause of many diseases. She includes life style, diet, nutritional supplementation and stress management to treat her patients. Her emphasis is on getting to the core issues to slow disease progression, and reversing when possible.

A graduate of Indiana University School of Medicine, Dr. LaSalle is board certified in Family Medicine with a fellowship in Integrative Medicine through the University of Arizona, a program founded by Andrew Weil, M.D.  Dr. LaSalle's focus has been in the field of Endocrinology, with special emphasis on the interplay of hormones, nutrition and lifestyle on the balance of the neurotransmitters and the immune system.
