Linda shares openly about the voices and sounds she would hear from an early age and how these voices - that sometimes felt like a curse - led her on a path of shamanic healing, the esoteric tantric path of death and dying and the sacred sounds of the chakras. She also talks about the constricting energy of fear, the importance of shifting our mindset into one of thriving in the moment, and her deep connection to nature and the Great Mother - as such she reminds us that we are all so loved and held and supported at all times.

The Case: Linda was having trouble with anxiety and sleep Routine blood work revealed a very high TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and she was given a medication to treat hypothyroidism. Linda wondered why she didn’t have many of the typical symptoms for hypothyroidism and worried that going on medication might be the wrong move. Even though Linda was happy to have an answer, something didn’t add up. She was told to get on the medication, regardless of whether she showed typical symptoms or not. Linda wasn’t convinced. That’s when she came to see me. The Investigation Linda was right to question her results and her treatment even though her numbers were very high. I knew I needed to figure out the root cause of her elevated TSH and determine if there might be a way to get her back into optimal range. Normal Range for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) The regular lab range for TSH is between .5 and 4.5, but the more functional range that we want to aim for is really between 1.8 and 3 if not medicated. Linda’s TSH was at 19, which was why her doctor was immediately alarmed. Evaluating Thyroid Markers or Why You Need To Test All Thyroid Markers In order to truly evaluate the thyroid, it is very important to test all of the thyroid markers (as I explained in Episodes 27 & 28). We ran a second blood test with TSH and all the thyroid hormones as well as all 3 antibodies: TPO, thyroglobulin, and TSI antibodies. When the results came back with high TSH (even higher than before!), the interesting thing was that the other actual thyroid hormone markers were completely normal. Linda’s T3 and T4 were at optimal levels. Typically, when those thyroid hormones drop, the body’s signal to correct that would be raising the TSH. We were able to see here that the other hormones had not dropped in the first place, so that was not the reason the TSH was up. High TSH with High Thyroid Antibodies In Linda’s case, she didn’t have typical hypothyroid or slow thyroid symptoms and her thyroid hormones were normal. Her TPO antibodies however were 529, which is quite high. Her thyroglobulin antibodies were also slightly elevated at 42 and her TSI antibodies were negative. TSI antibodies are representatives of Graves disease, so she didn’t have that, but TPO and Thyroglobulin antibodies are representative of Hashimoto’s. Linda’s results were positive for TPO and Thyroglobulin, which showed us that she had Hashimoto’s. Hashimoto’s and Thyroid Inflammation When there is Hashimoto’s there can also be thyroid inflammation. I have found that when the thyroid is inflamed, the TSH can go up without it triggering any low thyroid hormones. This is not what the textbooks say in typical cases, but as we know here at Health Mysteries Solved, many of us are not textbook cases, and issues can be complex! Misdiagnosed Hypothyroidism Our bodies have tons of feedback loops and when all the loops work like they are supposed to, then we can follow a textbook pathway to healing. But, in many cases, there are other issues at play from stress to autoimmunity to toxicity, to the foods that we eat. It’s not uncommon that the feedback loops may not work the way we think they should. In this case, High TSH is showing inflammation of the thyroid rather than an actually slow thyroid. This not only explains why she didn’t have hypothyroidism symptoms, but also that the inflammation could have actually been triggering the anxiety and sleep issues. Medication when Necessary I was so happy that I met Linda so that we could work on the inflammation. In her case, medication was actually not necessary because her thyroid hormones were normal. Even though I am always trying to find natural solutions, I am not anti-medication when truly necessary. Especially when it comes to thyroid medication. As some of you may know, I take a small dose of compounded thyroid medication because I have hypothyroidism. My perspective is that when the thyroid truly is slow, medication is replacing something that the body can’t make but absolutely needs. This is a very important medication for me to have. However using it when you don't need it is a different story. The Link Between Hashimoto’s and Hypothyroidism? While many people with Hashimoto’s do in fact have hypothyroidism (because of damage to the thyroid), other times, we can catch the Hashimoto’s and the inflammation it may cause early before the thyroid gets damaged. In this case, if we address the inflammation and underlying immune triggers driving the autoimmune response, it is possible to save the thyroid from being destroyed. By the time I found out I had Hashimoto's, my thyroid was already affected but even if that is the case for you, there is still a lot you can do to stop the progression of the attack by addressing the triggers. Next Steps For Linda, we caught the Hashimoto’s early before it actually damaged her thyroid. We worked on lowering inflammation and calming her adrenal glands (the glands that deal with stress), which was one of her triggers. We did a genetic test for gluten, the D2 DQ8 which showed that she was positive for both the DQ8 and D2 (meaning her body was not genetically predisposed to process gluten). There is a big connection between gluten and Hashimoto’s due to molecular mimicry (where there are similar molecules at play so the body attacks all of them by mistake). We took gluten out of her diet and used PS 150 and liquid GABA to help lower her cortisol and support her adrenals and sleep. Stress can be both physical as well as emotional and so for Linda, we reduced the physical stress caused by her body trying to process gluten. She also added mindfulness exercises to further lower her cortisol. This helped her calm down, relax and feel less anxious which, along with the GABA, improved her sleep. The better she slept, the more her adrenals were able to heal. We retested her full thyroid panel of markers in 6 weeks and her TSH had returned to normal! We were both thrilled. Eliminating Health Mysteries Can you see how this could have become quite a health mystery had she not explored this further? I am so glad she did reach out for support, and hope you can keep her story in mind in case you ever get similar results. For Linda, we were able to find that missing piece of the health puzzle so she could regain her health. Could this be the missing clue for you or someone in your life?

The Power of Now - A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment with Linda and Barbara
This is an introduction to our podcast series where we explore concepts of Spiritual Enlightenment with Eckhart Tolle. Linda Gallicchio and Barbara Wainwright have been studying Eckhart Tolle's work since 1995 and more specifically spent the last year doing a weekly book study. Over the last year, we have been flipping the book open to random pages, the content of which has miraculously been on target for our personal growth in the moment. However, for the podcast purposes, we were planning to go through the book from start to finish, reading only a few pages/concepts at a time. We will read a few paragraphs and then discuss between us how the content affects us, and how we apply it, because, we do use The Power of Now principles in our daily lives. As you know, the main principles of the book are about living in the now and coming to a place in your life where you can get beyond egoic thought patterns to stillness and peace within. Linda and Barbara plan to speak back and forth about their experiences of the pain body and how they have used the concepts in the book to attain peace, harmony, acceptance and compassion in their lives. They understand that words are "just pointers" for people to go deeper within themselves to come to their own awakening and trust that by the sharing of these concepts and how they apply them, that others will receive some benefit. For Linda and Barbara, the book has raised their awareness and reminds them to the be "watcher" so they can choose to take more conscious actions in each moment, because the future and the past don't exist in the "now". Linda Gallicchio is a Certified Spiritual Coach and Educator. Barbara Wainwright is the founder of Wainwright Global Institute of Professional Coaching.
If working from home (because of the Covid-19 pandemic) is a kind of frustrating for you, then try listening to our guest for today, Linda Carmichael! Linda has been making resin jewellery for almost 10 years now at the comfort of her own home—and with four lovely dogs. At the start, it was just for fun. She makes quirky jewellery for herself. But then she decided why not make money out of something that she’s passionate about too. So she did. In this episode of the Fire In the Belly Podcast, we look at the personal life and entrepreneurial mind of Linda. We talk about being yourself, making money out of your craft, chasing for an incredible life, and many more. Start listening in. KEY TAKEAWAYS In Linda’s family, education is something that has been valued and upheld highly. Though never competitively. Linda wouldn’t say she’s an academic achiever, too. But she’s glad how she discovered so much about herself, her creativity skills, and her passions since her childhood. Her father was an enormous influence when she was exploring her craft. Linda would describe her dad as a dreamer, always encouraging and understanding. As she looks back at her education background, she remembers how school sucked for her when she was young because it’s too bureaucratic and competitive. She learns effectively when there’s no pressure, and there’s flexibility. That’s why she enjoyed her university days. It was easy to find jobs for Linda after graduation. But the typical 8-5 job isn’t for her. She was meant to be her own boss, have her own business. Being her own boss definitely worked for her. People around her noticed the sizeable difference in her disposition once she went back doing her craft--she’s happier than ever. She looks back on how hands on she was when she was starting. She picked and bought the materials herself, packed everything, did deliveries. Tasks weren’t as troublesome. Everything was worth the effort. Scary Goals. For Linda, she sees to it that she does something noteworthy each day. Not taken aback by fear. Driven by her passions. Linda doesn’t settle for anything less. Seeing that she’s doing what she loves already, there’s no turning back. She wants more of the incredible life. BEST MOMENTS “As a creator, you want to stand out. You don’t want to be the same.” “I wouldn’t have kept something that’s not going to pay me.” “If you don’t know what to do, ask yourself what you don’t want to do.” “I love being in business but my passion is living my full potential.” “I’m after an incredible life.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Make Me Mold Me - https://www.makememoldme.com/ Fire In The Belly Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fire-in-the-belly/id1499375061 ABOUT THE HOST The ‘Mighty Pete Lonton’ from the ‘Mighty 247’ company is your main host of ‘Fire In The Belly’.

Linda knows that cooking dinner more often would make her healthier and happier. But it feels like so much work for her to make the effort since she lives alone. Sometimes she manages to throw something healthy together, but other nights she just sits down with a bag of potato chips and calls it a night. For Linda one of the big obstacles is that when she does make the effort to cook one of her favorite recipes she ends up with way too many leftovers and gets tired of eating the same thing. Often it ends up going to waste. To solve this Linda has to reexamine her beliefs about what dinner is supposed to look like so that it is less daunting and easier to do on a regular basis.

Linda Runyon is an expert in wild foods and has been teaching since the 1970’s. Though she has a life long love of nature, she really learned her stuff when she spent 13 years with her family homesteading in rural New York State, without indoor plumbing, electricity or running water. Linda has turned her amazing life story into many publications, namely her wild foods field guide called The Essential Wild Food Survival Guide (formerly From Crabgrass Muffins to Pine Needle Tea) and a brand new DVD called Linda Runyon’s Master Class on Wild Food Survival. She is also creator of Wild Cards, the deck of edible plant playing cards many LearningHerbs.com folks have come to love. For Linda’s return to HerbMentor Radio, we spend nearly 90 minutes on a virtual herb walk. We cover lamb’s quarter, and how to make flour. Also, dandelions (and dandelion french fries!), red clover, cattail and milk weed. We even take a trip to the Southwest to visit prickly pear cactus and tumbleweed. Linda also reveals the secret to processing and eating thistle! Of course, there’s many more wild food nuggets to chew on as well. Visit Linda at http://OfTheField.com
