A zoom webinar detailing a real life pituitary journey.
'Pituitary disorders are considered rare. It is estimated that there are around 70,000 pituitary patients in the United Kingdom.
However, misdiagnosis is a common problem and some reports suggest that many more people could have undiagnosed pituitary issues'. I'm quoting from the Pituitary Foundation who supported me well throughout my journey.
In 2010, I was diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma; a benign growth on the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is small and oval-shaped. It’s located behind your nose, near the underside of your brain.
‘Benign’ is a comforting word, but still, this tumour was nudging up alongside my optic nerve and at one point my neurosurgeon pointed out that I could ‘wake up blind any day’. So although ‘benign’ is comforting, a tumour can grow and the news becomes less comforting when the loss of sight is a potential threat.
It was an alarming time. And because of this I would like to bring to the forefront of our minds for an hour on a dark November evening, this important gland and the reasons why we should keep on top of our health concerns.
In this webinar we will discuss:
What does the pituitary do?
What are the signs of malfunction?
Nutritional support
There are many types of pituitary malfunction. In this webinar I'll be talking through 'hypo-pituitary function' and discussing in what ways nutrition can be useful when suffering from a benign pituitary tumour. We'll be talking through stress resilience, blood sugar fluctuation and energy dips.
Who is this webinar useful for?
Everyone - we should all know about this master gland, its what steers the ship!
Nutrition students and newly qualified nutritionists - aim to be pituitary and endocrine aware
Pituitary warriors - those with pituitary issues may well enjoy hearing about a positive pituitary journey
I will be talking in 'general public' layman's terms so nothing too technical. The purpose is to raise awareness so we all have better understanding of our health.
