In this conversation I welcomed Renee Fitton onto the podcast to discuss some different ideas around fasting and how appropriate it is for women (and men), especially during peri menopause and as we get older.

Over the next thirty-plus years, Paul accumulated a wealth of knowledge on thyroid and adrenal dysfunction. His scientific background enabled him to fight through the morass of misinformation and recover his health, and help many many others. At first, Paul was put on the most common thyroid treatment - Levothyroxine (also known as Synthroid or T4). However, the majority of his symptoms remained, much like they do for many on T4-therapy. Over time he became even more ill, with both low cortisol and low thyroid symptoms. This then spurred Paul to put everything he learned on paper - writing his 3 books. Paul wrote 'The CT3M Handbook' as a companion book to 'Recovering with T3' to explain more about raising cortisol levels if needed. And Paul wrote his third book ‘The Thyroid Patient's Manual'. This book covers all types of thyroid medications (T4, T4/T3, NDT, and T3).

This then helped to highlight the different symptoms people experience when under eating including low energy and hair loss...which are actually signs that your thyroid is struggling.

I had an epic conversation with Dr Lloyd Glauberman this week on how psychotherapy and mindset are potentially the most important aspect of a weight loss journey.

In this episode we are learning about TOFI - thin on the outside and fat on the inside. Just because someone in slim or "skinny" does not mean that they are healthy. Especially if that person does not have a lot of muscle. TOFI can be a high risk factor for several metabolic diseases and sometimes the only way to find out if you are at risk is through testing.

Dr John E Lewis joins me in this podcast conversation to help us understand polysaccharides, how they can support our immune system and help to reduce inflammation.

Its very common that I speak to someone who believes they have low thyroid function or "hypothyroidism", and they are not getting help from conventional medicine. You may get TSH tested, which is almost irrelevant, and then sent home after being told "everything looks normal". But I believe many of us know our own body better then any doctor - we have lived here for many years. So I wanted to remind you of these tests that I have spoken of before. These 4 tests can be done at home with low cost and are non invasive/pain free. You can do these tests, track your data and then discover your thyroids health for yourself. Then you can take action on supporting your body, confidently, after listening to what it is trying to tell you. These tests have been used since the 1800s by many experts in the field of thyroid health and are deemed to be better then serum testing.

With all the talk around Thyroid health, we often forget or overlook the "Parathyroid". This is a mistake because PTH can be directly influenced by stress and in turn can cause leaching of calcium from the bones and increase swelling or fluid retention in the body. The research also shows us that people with with an overactive parathyroid, also have issues with their weight. Take a listen to this solo episode to understand the parathyroid more, and understand your body more!

Recently I had the chance to catch up with Reed Davis, the Founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN).
