Seven years ago, Michelle Meyer and her husband, Alex, had no idea what was in store for them and their dreams of starting a family. Those years were filled with multiple diagnoses (from male factor infertility, Hashimoto thyroiditis, and endometriosis), fertility treatments (IUI, medicated cycles, and IVF), and a mix of emotions from failed transfers and miscarriages. In this episode, Michelle shares the journey they've been on, the impact of Wayfair's family building benefit through Progyny, and how she feels optimistic on what lies ahead.

In today's Thyroid Strong solo shortie episode, I sit down to talk about where to start when you feel overwhelmed with your Hashimoto's diagnosis or when you don't know where to start. I share the Big 3 Trigger Trifecta's of Hashimoto's: Genetics, Leaky Gut, and Stressors including emotional stress, environmental stress, and trauma. I like to start with the hierarchy of treating thyroid hormones, adrenal issues, and gut health first before addressing sex hormones and insulin resistance. But before addressing these, you need to get your foundational health right including: how you're eating, how you're working out, and how you're sleeping.If you want a deeper dive, join the Free 5-day challenge, the Thyroid Revolution: a mix of workouts and masterclasses.

Many thyroid patients with autoimmune thyroid disease like Hashimoto's and Graves' don't realize this but the antibodies that cause thyroid problems (that are associated with these disease states) also cause problems in other tissues in your body. These antibodies are like heat-seeking missiles that target various proteins and receptors in your thyroid gland which results in abnormalities in thyroid function as well as thyroid gland damage. We are also learning that these antibodies can cause harm and damage to other tissues as well depending on which antibody you have present in your body. Let's go over each antibody and the problems they can cause: Thyroid peroxidase antibody: - Hashimoto's encephalitis - Infertility - Vasculo-placental complications - Health in aged women - Increased cancer incidence in breast, colon, kidney, and uterus - Decreased survival rate in breast cancer patients Thyroglobulin antibody: - Infertility - Increased cancer incidence of breast, colon, kidney, and uterus - Decreased survival rate in breast cancer patients Thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibody: - Graves' orbitopathy - Graves' dermatopathy - Increased cancer incidence of breast, colon, kidney, uterus, and ovary #hashimoto #hashimotosthyroiditis #hashimotosdisease #graves #gravesdisease #hypothyroidism #hyperthyroidism #thyroid Download my free thyroid resources here (including hypothyroid symptoms checklist, the complete list of thyroid lab tests + optimal ranges, foods you should avoid if you have thyroid disease, and more): https://www.restartmed.com/start-here/ Recommended thyroid supplements to enhance thyroid function: - Supplements that everyone with hypothyroidism needs: https://bit.ly/3tekPej - Supplement bundle to help reverse Hashimoto's: https://bit.ly/3gSY9eJ - Supplements for those without a thyroid and for those after RAI: https://bit.ly/3tb36nZ - Supplements for active hyperthyroidism: https://bit.ly/3t70yHo See ALL of my specialized supplements including protein powders, thyroid supplements, and weight loss products here: https://www.restartmed.com/shop/ Want more from my blog?

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Temple Stewart. She is a Registered Dietitian, Certified Personal Trainer, and Health Behavior Change Specialist. Temple played D1 soccer at the University of Tennessee Martin, which is where she received a degree in Dietetics. She completed an internship at the VA Medical Center in Bay Pines, FL. Temple currently works and lives in St. Petersburg, FL with her husband and their two poodles, Axel and Rowdie. Throughout college Temple developed a very unhealthy relationship with food and began using food rules or diets as punishment or for comfort. This behavior propelled Temple into learning all she could about food and how impacts our bodies, ultimately making her choose to become a Registered Dietitian. Throughout the process, Temple began to learn how to eat for health and how to develop a healthy relationship with food. Along the road, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), furthermore increasing her interest in treating the body with nutrition. In this episode, Temple talks about her journey to health and reversing the symptoms of both PCOS and Hashimotos. As a trained dietitian, Temple reveals why her education around food wasn't exactly the best information. Plus, Temple dives into her favorite health hacks, including the carnivore diet, intermittent fasting, carb cycling, and lab work. Tune in as we chat about how much protein you should be eating, how keto will help with fertility, and tips for asking your doctor about prescribing a CGM. This episode originally aired in January 2022.

[02:15] Temple Speaks About Her Journey To Health In college, Temple was losing hair, and she was gaining weight rapidly. Plus, she had no menstrual cycles. When she went to the doctor, they put her on birth control. After moving to Florida to become a dietitian, Temple's health worsened. Temple was doing exactly what they taught her in dietitian school: eat less, move more, more vegetables, and less fat. Eventually, Temple was diagnosed with both PCOS and Hashimotos. [06:10] How Temple Realized Her Dietitian Training Was Garbage Temple read The Obesity Code: https://www.amazon.com/The-Obesity-Code-Dr-Jason-Fung-audiobook/dp/B01MRKEO0U/benazadi-20 After reading The Obesity Code, she went down a rabbit hole with tons of other resources. She started helping patients in the hospital lower their carbs. Temple did a research study; every single person got off their medications and lost weight after lowering their carbs. [08:30] It Took Three Months For Temple To Reverse Her Hashimoto's Symptoms Hashimoto's thyroiditis is essentially an autoimmune disease. A lot of times, Hashimoto's and PCOS go hand-in-hand. Keto can be so helpful because it takes away a lot of the triggers of the immune system. Through nutrition, Temple was able to get rid of all her symptoms. [16:00] If You're Starting To Change Your Diet, Try Carnivore Everyone can benefit from a carnivore lifestyle. A lot of people are suffering from something and don't realize it until they go carnivore. If you want to get into ketosis quickly, try carnivore for a couple of days. People who are hitting plateaus can definitely benefit from a carnivore diet. [16:55] Insulin Resistance Is Actually Weight Loss Resistance What's causing the weight to stay on your body could be due to insulin. There are people who have tried every diet in the book. For the most part, people end up lowering calories. However, nothing will work when insulin resistance is up. Weight loss is typically a symptom; it usually comes after you heal your body. [18:45] Strategies For Overcoming A Keto Weight Loss Stall A lot of times, carb cycling can be effective. Complex carbs can help women depending on where they are in their cycle. Temple will also suggest switching up your intermittent fasting routine. The same thing goes for exercise – sometimes you are doing too much! Plus, don't forget to look at your sleep and your stress. Lastly, you may need to get labs and see what's going on with your hormones. [21:30] Why Temple Loves To Implement Intermittent Fasting Intermittent fasting is great for weight loss, aging, and protecting the brain. Many people do well fasting for 16-hours and having an 8-hour eating window. A 72 hour fast done quarterly can reset your immune system. Temple will encourage her clients to do what works for them. Fasting during breakfast is very popular. However, many women do better when they fast during dinner time. With intermittent fasting, the sky is the limit. [25:15] How Much Protein Temple Will Recommend For Her Clients Temple recommends .8 or .9 grams per lb of body weight for a woman. People who are snacking could stop if they meet their protein needs. Most women are undereating protein. The recommendations out there on protein are so low! [30:10] Why Protein Is So Satiating and Filling To The Human Body Protein is the building block for everything. It's really the only macronutrient that you cannot live without. Plus, protein is extremely satiating. It's really hard to eat an exorbitant amount of food when you're eating protein. [32:35] Why The Scale Is Setting You Up For Failure Women can fluctuate eight pounds just in terms of hormonal water weight gain when they cycle through their period. People get so attached to the scale because society values thinness. Instead, you should judge based on how you feel. Think about how your bowel movements are, what your skin feels like, how your hair is growing. The scale should be way down the list of importance when it comes to health. [37:00] Tips On Speaking With Your Doctor About Your Health First, Temple says you need to find the right doctor. Usually, a doctor can get you a CGM. Naturopaths and more holistic homeopathic physicians should be able to help you. Tell them you are interested in how food impacts your blood glucose levels. If a doctor shuts you down or isn't even willing to have the conversation with the insurance company, you might think about finding someone who is. [40:30] Should I Follow A Keto Diet If I'm Trying To Get Pregnant? PCOS is the most common cause of infertility. The most common cause of PCOS is absolutely insulin resistance. So, keto will improve your chances of getting pregnant. PCOS women are at a much higher risk for gestational diabetes. Going low carb will be safe if you're doing it in a nourishing way. You have to focus heavily on fatty meats. When you get pregnant, you really have to focus and make sure you're getting the right nutrients. AND MUCH MORE!

Dr. Jess Peatross Unveils Destruction Caused by Mold Exposure and How To Resolve It In this episode, join Sinclair Kenally and special guest Dr. Jess Peatross as they delve into the root causes of chronic illnesses and shed light on the often-overlooked role of mold. Discover why even experienced functional medicine physicians can struggle to recognize and address mold-related issues, and learn about the vital importance of supporting the body's healing journey from the effects of mold exposure. Did you know that mold can significantly impact your health, despite it often being unrecognized by medical professionals? Dr. Shoemaker's research reveals that mold can trigger a cytokine storm, disrupting the balance between an overactive and underactive immune system. This imbalance can lead to various health issues, including genetic susceptibility, autoimmunity, depression, anxiety, postural orthostatic tachycardic syndrome, Hashimoto's, sarcoidosis, and lupus. It's time to understand the connection between mold and these health challenges and take the necessary steps to protect yourself. Discover the surprising link between mold and hormones. Mold can rapidly grow in porous materials, such as wood and seat pads, within 24-48 hours. Certain mold species, like zearalenone and ochratoxin, are known endocrine disruptors and hormone mimickers. Studies have shown that these species can trigger an estrogen domino effect, further impacting your hormonal balance. Don't miss this enlightening episode of Your Health Reset with Sinclair Kenally and Dr. Jess Peatross, where you'll gain a deeper understanding of the connection between mold, chronic illnesses, and hormones. Take charge of your health today! Highlights Some of our favorite highlights from this episode include: Speaking directly to practitioners who are open to learning new approaches and eager to expand their toolkits. The future lies in becoming our doctors and empowering everyone in our audience. Acknowledging that some listeners already know mold and its impact on health. This episode serves as a reinforcement and validation of their understanding. Emphasizing the importance of individuals taking control of their health and actively seeking their answers. It's an empowering time where a wealth of information is available, and people are reclaiming their well-being. Recognizing the need to retrain the mindset of those seeking proactive health measures. Before diving into supplements and specific interventions, it's crucial to establish a foundation that empowers individuals to take charge of their health.

Hi! I am your host Esther Yunkin. I am a registered nurse with over 20 years of experience. I grew fed up in the emergency department, where I saw people get short-term bandaids to chronic problems, so I went back to school for holistic health. Now I help overwhelmed moms discover simple and sustainable solutions without getting overwhelmed. WHAT IS HASHIMOTO'S THYROIDITIS? Quickly, Hashimoto's is when you have antibodies to your own thyroid. Your immune system is attacking your thyroid. Your thyroid produces thyroid hormone which is like the spark plug that lets each cell work. So when you have Hashimoto's, every single cell in your entire body is impacted. That's Hashimoto's in a nutshell. In this podcast, you will discover how to help your thyroid, how to help your immune system, and how to holistically help you: body, mind, spirit, diet, and environment. This podcast is for informational and educational purposes. Please discuss any questions or concerns with your healthcare professional.

The Case: Mindy has Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism and experiences low energy and anxiety She's worried genetics may be making it worse because her mother also has Hashimoto's She's feeling like the genetic cards are stacked against her and there's nothing she can do to feel healthy again. The Investigation When I first met Mindy, I noted the stock she was placing on her genetics, missing things under her control. Genetics are important but they only account for 15% of our wellness picture. I knew that there were a myriad of things we could do to shift the impact of her genetics on her health. However, I also knew that a bigger shift might be needed at the epigenetic level. The Epigenetic Expert - Anat Peri To look further into what might be going on for Mindy, I invited Anat Peri back to the show. Longtime listeners may remember her from episode 55 of Health Mysteries Solved when she shared her insights on emotional resilience. I highly recommend going back and listening to (or relistening to) that episode. Anat is an inner child expert and the founder of Training Camp for the Soul. She has 18 years of experience as a trauma-informed coach using a variety of tools including mindset, somatic healing, safety connection, nervous system regulation, and inner child reparenting. Through her work, she has learned a great deal about epigenetics and how our upbringing can manifest physically in our adult minds and our health. What is Epigenetics? Epigenetics refers to the biology of our beliefs and how we view the world. It's about how our reactions to life impact our nervous system and whether we operate in a parasympathetic state or a stressful (sympathetic) state. This can have a huge impact on our health, as stress and trauma can lead to a range of health issues and can be a major trigger for Hashimoto's. Anat explains that everything we learn as children is learned from our caretakers, and if they were absent or dysfunctional, we may have learned unhealthy patterns that can impact our health as adults. Anat explains that we learn so much at a young age because as children we are like sponges; soaking up what we see, hear, and feel energetically from our caretakers. Our beliefs and the way we view the world are formed at a young age, and they can have a huge impact on our health later on. Often, we are completely unaware of the role epigenetics is playing in our health. The good news is that we can turn our epigenetics on and off, just like gene expressions. Our ability to control our epigenetics depends on our beliefs, how we regulate our nervous system, and how we speak to ourselves. Inflammation and its Impact on Health Inflammation is a natural response of the immune system to injury or infection. However, chronic inflammation can contribute to a wide range of health issues, including autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's and thyroid issues. In my practice, I've seen how specific beliefs and behaviors can contribute to inflammation in the body. Beliefs and Behaviors that Impact Inflammation and Hashimoto's One of the beliefs that can increase inflammation is shame. Anat explains that shame is a powerful enough emotion that it can cause us to close in on ourselves and hide our true selves. When we feel ashamed, we may try to suppress our emotions and our needs, which can lead to chronic stress and inflammation. Fear is another powerful emotion that can contribute to inflammation, says Anat. When we are in a state of fear, our bodies release stress hormones, such as cortisol and adrenaline. Over time, chronic stress can lead to inflammation in the body. Our parents may have ingrained shame and fear responses into us at a very young age without realizing it. Growing up in a chaotic or turbulent environment can also contribute to inflammation. When our nervous system is constantly activated by stress and fear, our bodies release stress hormones, which can lead to inflammation over time. The Potential Role of Fathers in the Development of Autoimmune Diseases In this episode, we really got personal. I looked at the roles my mother and father played in my life. I shared that I felt like my father was always there for me but he didn't necessarily stand up for me when my mother wanted me to do things I didn't want to do, like playing the piano. This experience taught me that my feelings didn't matter and that I had to do what others wanted me to do. I realize now that this is how I was trained to be a people pleaser. Anat was able to relate that to having a lack of boundaries as well as self-rejection and self-abandonment and the connection to my Hashimoto's. It's really fascinating. Anat expanded the discussion further by explaining how fathers can impact the development of autoimmune diseases. She notes that fathers can influence the development of autoimmune diseases by being emotionally unavailable, neglectful, or critical. Children who grow up with fathers who are emotionally unavailable may feel rejected and develop feelings of low self-worth, which can trigger the onset of autoimmune diseases. We also talk about how fathers can influence the development of autoimmune diseases by modeling certain behaviors. For example, if a father is always putting others' needs before his own, his children may learn that it's not okay to prioritize their own needs. This is why it's so important to have a healthy relationship with both parents to reduce the risk of developing autoimmune diseases. It's crucial for fathers to be emotionally available and supportive of their children's feelings and needs. It's also important for fathers to model healthy behaviors, such as setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care, to help their children develop a healthy attitude towards themselves and others. Techniques to Connect with Your Inner Child and Begin the Healing Process Regardless of our relationship with our fathers and how it may have impacted our health, it is possible to change it now. Anat says this is possible by connecting with our inner child. This allows us to identify our emotions, feelings, beliefs, and desires as they relate to our health issues. She suggests grabbing a journal or a piece of paper and writing down everything we feel triggered, upset, frustrated, or stuck about. Alternatively, we can record ourselves talking as if we are calling our best friend who listens to us without judging. Once we have our thoughts and emotions recorded, we can identify our inner child's voice by looking for statements that begin with "I feel" or "I want." This practice helps us weed out our inner critic, ego, and shadow, which can hinder our ability to connect with our true feelings and desires. Anat says it's important to make sure that we are truly hearing our inner child's voice because it's generally not the loudest. Often, our inner critic, ego, and shadow are much more overbearing. She explains that statements that begin with "I am," "I'm upset," "I'm angry," "I feel like he doesn't listen to me," "I feel like I'm being left behind," or "I'm all alone" represent our inner child's voice. On the other hand, statements that contain "I should," "I must," or "I have to" reflect our inner critic. Meanwhile, statements that blame others and avoid taking responsibility for our feelings are the product of our ego. Finally, statements that contain shame, fear, and guilt reflect our shadow. By identifying our inner child's voice and distinguishing it from our inner critic, ego, and shadow, we can begin the healing process. Connecting with our emotions and desires is crucial to understanding ourselves and our experiences fully. It also helps us identify limiting beliefs that hold us back from living fulfilling lives. Anat Peri emphasizes the importance of being willing to look inward and confront our internal world. This practice can help us shift our focus from external factors to our internal landscape, which is where true healing begins. Scanning and Embracing Sensations in Our Body We discuss many ways to create a transformation through connecting with the inner child (and the challenges that many face doing this). One of the keys to making that connection, according to Anat, is to embrace the sensations of the body because sensations are the language of the nervous system. So, when we can learn to be with sensations and name sensations, we speak to the nervous system, and the nervous system can respond and adjust accordingly. She says that we normally put our feelings into two buckets, good feelings, and bad feelings. We label them as happy or scared or anxious, but the opportunity is to go one layer deeper, where we can identify the sensations at the root of these emotions. The following are the steps to scan and embrace sensations in our body: Step 1: Take a Deep Breath To start, take a deep breath and exhale all the stagnant air out of your mouth. Then take a deep breath, filling up the whole body deep into the belly, feeling it expand. Continue to take deep breaths from the belly while sitting in a way that feels supported. Step 2: Connect with Your Body Next, connect with your body. Feel the weight of your feet on the ground, the support of the chair or couch, and the sensation of your clothes against your skin. Step 3: Scan Your Body Once you feel connected, scan your body from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. Notice any sensations, tightness, or discomfort you may be feeling. Don't try to change these sensations, just notice them. Step 4: Name Your Sensations After scanning your body, name the sensations you have noticed. For example, you may be feeling tightness in your chest, a knot in your stomach, or a tingling sensation in your arms. Step 5: Embrace Your Sensations Finally, embrace your sensations by acknowledging them and staying with them. You may want to breathe into the sensations and imagine them softening and dissipating. Remember, the goal is not to change these sensations but to allow them to be present and be with them. Connecting to the Nervous System and Controlling Hashimoto's By embracing the sensations in your body with curiosity instead of judgment or emotions, you create safety within the body and establish a type of communication with your nervous system. And remember, your nervous system is connected to your immune system, which is what controls your Hashimoto's. Integrating transformative experiences to create lasting transformation requires practice and repetition. It's not enough to have a transformative experience in a moment; it's important to integrate that experience and create new neuropathy. Scanning and embracing sensations in our body is a powerful tool to connect with our nervous system, speak to it in its language, and process emotions and sensations. Mystery Solved Mindy believed that her issues were potentially genetic but she hadn't considered the role epigenetics might be playing in her challenges with Hashiomoto's. We started our work together balancing her immune system and supporting her thyroid type. Next, we looked at various limiting beliefs and used various modalities to clear those including hypnosis. This process takes time but Mindy was willing to do the work and she got the results she was looking for. Conclusion As we learned in this episode, we are all impacted by epigenetics to some degree. Recognizing that is the first step in starting to heal. So many of us are completely unaware of the impact these hidden beliefs can have on our physical health, especially when our immune system is compromised. If you'd like to explore the process of clearing your limiting beliefs, Anat is my go-to person. She has an expedited process that allows you to identify and completely clear limiting beliefs while tending to your nervous system. She has a retreat coming up where you can do this in 5-days.

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition, I talk with a returning guest, Dr Nicky Keay, world-renowned sports endocrinologist specializing in female athletes. Tune in to Episodes 38 and 98 for my previous conversations with Dr Nicky Keay. For the first time in 129 episodes, we dive deep into all things thyroid and the hormones it produces. Don't worry, Dr Nicky does a great job at explaining the science in a way everyone can understand! We debunk myths around metabolism, metabolic rate and body composition, and how the thyroid is involved. Dr Nicky and I discuss how thyroid hormones are regulated and what happens when that goes wrong. We cover conditions of the thyroid gland, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, signs, symptoms, and treatments. Dr Nicky talks about the place for thyroid medications and the caution they need to be considered with. We explore the impact of RED-S on the thyroid gland and its hormones, how being in a state of RED-S can suppress hormone production, and widespread effects of this like missing menstrual cycles. The good news is that RED-S recovery is the most effective way for healing the thyroid and its hormones, not medication! Dr Nicky has a great book exploring this and much more, check it out: Hormones, Health and Human Potential.

“Why am I bloated?” It's a conversation starter for many of the clients and students I've worked with. First, this. Midlife gut issues are common, not normal. Ironically, some of the healthy habits you have may be getting in the way of your optimal absorption of nutrients, digestion and or elimination. In a recent previous episode, Protein Supplements: What, When & Why to Exercise for Women 40+ (make this a live link) Why Whey Protein Doesn't Work for Many at Midlife What's important to keep in mind is that whey is notoriously the go-to. However, of the many whey protein powders on the market a very high percent were found to have toxins, sugars, or significant heavy metals (mercury and lead) and weren't third party tested before reaching the shelf. The advantage of whey and reason it's been so widely used by body builders is the rapid absorption – making it easy to digest pre and or post workout. It supports muscle repair and recovery and glycogen replacement very well. It is dairy, however. A known inflammatory (especially if you have an autoimmune issue like arthritis, lupus or Hashimoto's) dairy is one of the first things that removed will improve health and decrease aches and pains and reduce inflammatory markers. Many women in midlife find with hormone changes – related to the hormone influence on the gut – dairy causes bloating, constipation, diarrhea, skin or joint pain, when it hadn't before. Soy Protein for Women in Menopause Soy is another ingredient or protein option whether in powder or as milk, tofu, or other source. It however has a history as an obesogenic, goitrogenic, and estrogenic. That is, respectively it causes fat storage, disrupts thyroid function, and confuses the body to think it's estrogen. Egg Protein Powder or Scrambled for Muscle Building? Less popular, but also on the shelves are egg protein powders. Eggs, though categorized differently than dairy, can also be highly likely to be food sensitivities. Occasionally, eggs may work. Daily though this is where the gut is subject over and over to a type of assault that will make it hard to heal from any existing gut issue. Even little bits of the right medicine make you well. By the same token, little bits regularly of the wrong food can make you sick or interfere with your optimal health. You will find brown rice protein powder as well. This isn't a complete protein, will have more carbohydrate. But is cheaper, for a reason. I think of this as “filler.” If it's a part of protein powders, you want to check on the amount. Where is it listed in the ingredients. What Are Non-Allergenic Protein Powder Options for Women Over 40? So, that leaves a hydrolyzed beef option for animal protein (complete essential amino acids but fewer than even a plant protein and a little bit more like collagen) and a plant-based option like Pea, pumpkin, or hemp. Pea, pumpkin and hemp are all complete proteins, meaning they have all the essential amino acids in them. My choice for muscle is a Pea-based protein powder with added collagen and hemp hearts. Your best bet is of course animal protein and with it you'll reach a high amount of 3 particularly important EAA, called Branch Chain AAs. Those are leucine, isoleusine, and valine. The greatest of these is leucine. Ideally, you want 2.3-2.5 minimum of leucine per meal of 30 or more gm of protein. With animal protein that's easy. With plant it's not as easy. For older adults as well as for body builders and endurance athletes – three populations with greatest demand for protein for muscle preservation or building – high or at least adequate leucine levels are scientifically tied to better results. Should you supplement with BCAAs.. For women not eating adequate calories or protein, the first step would be to take EAA. You need them all. If you're eating all the protein you need in a day, the next step if you're struggling to gain muscle would be BCAA. If you skip from a low protein diet, or completely from plants to BCAAs the other building blocks of muscle aren't there. That's a shaky foundation. Plan your meals around high quality protein. Plant or animal sources can all count. Consider what's missing. Is there a way to add this with food? Do you want or need to consider supplementation either in a powder – adding a shake to your meal, or in tablets – based on the feedback your body is giving you? Track the Results of Supplements on Your Body Track your muscle. Track your body composition. Pay attention to digestive and elimination issues you may be passing off as “normal.” Keep in mind too that at 70 adults have about 10% of the stomach acid they did at 20. That is the very thing that helps you digest food. Eating stressed, rushed or doing 3 other things while eating? Even if you're not 70, there's a high chance you're not going to digest well. A few things CAN help. First, take a few deep breaths before you eat. Turn other stimuli off. Try bitters sprayed on the tongue or apple cider vinegar in water just before a meal to stimulate your own stomach acid. If those don't help you, consider taking Betaine HCL before meals. The caps go in, then help stimulate gastric juices so you breakdown the proteins in foods and digest better. Many notice within days they experience less bloating after meals. That's betaine HCL, it's not a brand name, it's the only ingredient.

Early research suggests that up to 30% of thyroid patients currently taking thyroid medication may not need it. That's great and all but what does that mean for you? How can you tell if you are in that lucky 30%? Well, if you've ever wondered about that I've got some good news for you: We have some signs that, if present, indicate that you have a higher likelihood of getting off of your thyroid medication. In addition to these positive signs, we also have some negative ones as well and today I'm going to go over both. Before we jump in, you should be aware that this data is still emerging so it's subject to change as we get more information. If it does change then you can bet I will provide you with that updated information but, for now, this is what we have. These positive signs indicate you have a higher likelihood of getting off and staying off of thyroid medication: - If you've been using thyroid medication for less than 4 years. - If you had a normal free T4 on diagnosis. - If your current TSH is less than 1.8. - If you are taking a low dose of thyroid medication (usually less than 50 mcg). - If you are a woman (women are 2x more likely to get off their thyroid medication). These are unfavorable signs: - If you have a heterogenous thyroid on ultrasound. - If you have positive thyroid peroxidase antibodies with diffuse echogenicity on thyroid ultrasound. - If your TSH was greater than 8 at the time of diagnosis. - If your treated TSH is greater than 9. - If you were diagnosed at a young age. - If you had a positive thyroglobulin antibody level at the time of diagnosis. The presence or absence of any of these signs doesn't guarantee anything so don't get discouraged if you have a lot of negative signs and few positive signs. #thyroid #thyroidmedication #levothyroxine #synthroid #thyroidproblems #hashimoto #hashimotosthyroiditis #hashimotosdisease Download my free thyroid resources here (including hypothyroid symptoms checklist, the complete list of thyroid lab tests + optimal ranges, foods you should avoid if you have thyroid disease, and more): https://www.restartmed.com/start-here/ Recommended thyroid supplements to enhance thyroid function: - Supplements that everyone with hypothyroidism needs: https://bit.ly/3tekPej - Supplement bundle to help reverse Hashimoto's: https://bit.ly/3gSY9eJ - Supplements for those without a thyroid and for those after RAI: https://bit.ly/3tb36nZ - Supplements for active hyperthyroidism: https://bit.ly/3t70yHo See ALL of my specialized supplements including protein powders, thyroid supplements, and weight loss products here: https://www.restartmed.com/shop/ Want more from my blog?

Concentrating on optimal adrenal health can lead to some remarkable health benefits, including regaining energy levels. In this episode, Angela is in discussion with The Thyroid Pharmacist, Dr Izabella Wentz, who talks about her latest book 'The Adrenal Transformation Protocol', resetting the body's response through targeted safety signals, and the work she has successfully completed with over 3000 individuals to overcome bran fog, fatigue, irritability, sleep issues and anxiety. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you have coeliac disease and Hashimoto's, if you remove gluten from your diet, in some cases you can reverse the subclinical hypothyroidism and rid yourself of thyroid antibodies. Genetic predisposition, leaky gut and a trigger are the three things that must have manifested for an auto-immune condition to be present. When people are under a chronic stress response, their alignment with the circadian rhythm suffers greatly, and cortisol production might increase as a result. People starting off on their journey are wise to eliminate problematic foods through elimination diets of food sensitivity tests. BEST MOMENTS 'I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to make myself feel better' 'It's remarkable what an effect the environment can have upon our gene expression' 'Even without having coeliac disease, they feel better off gluten' 'I meet people where they are and try to give them strategies' VALUABLE RESOURCES Take My Biohacking Quiz and Get A Free Personalised Report - www.yourtotalhealthcheck.comBecome an Insider of The Female Biohacker Collective and have Angela as Your Health Coach in Your Pocket - www.femalebiohacker.comFree Fasting Guide - www.angelafosterperformance.com/fastingPodcast Shownotes - www.angelafosterperformance.com/podcasts Thanks to our Sponsor: Bon Charge - Get 20% off at www.boncharge.com/Angela Dr Izabella Wentz - www.thyoidpharmacist.com/media ABOUT THE GUEST Dr. Izabella Wentz is a compassionate, innovative, solution-focused integrative pharmacist dedicated to finding the root causes of chronic health conditions.

Dr. Stone has a passion for helping women with gut, hormone, adrenal, and thyroid issues.

Unlikely Housewives of JoCo: Cultivating Authentic Freedom & Wellness for Women
We had so much fun talking with our guest, Lindsay O'Reilly in episode 46 on the roller coaster of women's health and today we are excited to dive into her specialty and discuss thyroid health! Lindsay is a local Functional Medicine Dietician in the KC area. She focuses on helping women with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's get to the root cause of their thyroid dysfunction to increase their energy and address their symptoms. In this episode you will hear us talk about Tracy's own personal story as well as: -What is a thyroid gland? -How do we tell if we have a thyroid dysfunction? Testing? Labs? -What affects our thyroid function the most? Ex: sleep, stress, virus? -What changes would you need to make to help your thyroid heal? Our ultimate goal is to encourage women's advocacy in getting to the bottom of their thyroid dysfunction. The #1 reason in the US for hypothyroidism is Hashimotos, an autoimmune disease. Usually with autoimmune disease there is a genetic component, gut component, triggering event (stressor) such as pregnancy or postpartum or big life event and we break each of these down in today's episode. Some common health symptoms that may lead you to wondering what's off for you are cycle issues, hormonal imbalances, sleep issues, weight gain, fatigue, and so much more. These are all signs of something going on in your body…it's not normal to feel these issues and we want to encourage you to keep seeking answers to help your body feel safe! Women are needing more health support now more than ever due to stress and hormonal imbalance that typically gets labeled “normal”. Lindsay spends some time with us sharing some of her tactical tips and steps that will encourage you, our listeners, into action of helping yourself. Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue advocate for your health…don't stop at “normal” if that's not how you are feeling. Reach out to Lindsay and schedule a consultation.

Contrary to popular belief, hypothyroidism doesn't have to be a disease that lasts forever. While there certainly are irreversible causes of hypothyroidism there are also plenty of reversible causes as well. And today I want to focus on just that: Reversible causes of hypothyroidism. If any of these underlying causes of hypothyroidism have caused your thyroid disease then there is hope that you may be able to get off of your thyroid medication! And that's why understanding this information is so important. With that in mind, let's jump in: 1. Hashimoto's thyroiditis: Hashimoto's can cause both a reversible and irreversible hypothyroid state, depending on the severity of the disease. 2. Stress: Stress can cause a time-limited hypothyroid state that typically returns to normal after a few months to years. 3. Acute and chronic illness: Both acute and chronic illness can result in a euthyroid sick syndrome which makes you look hypothyroid but resolves once the illness has resolved. 4. Iodine deficiency: Iodine deficiency causes hypothyroidism that resolves with iodine supplementation. 5. Dieting and calorie restriction: Both calorie restriction and dieting can cause changes in thyroid lab tests which look like hypothyroidism. These lab changes resolve after a few years, typically. 6. Prescription medications: Many prescription medications can cause hypothyroidism including lithium and amiodarone. 7. Other nutrient deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamin A, iron, selenium, and zinc can all lead to decreased thyroid function and may cause full-blown hypothyroidism. #hypothyroidism #thyroid #hashimoto #thyroidtreatment #thyroidawareness #hashimotosthyroiditis #hashimotosdisease #thyroidtreatment Download my free thyroid resources here (including hypothyroid symptoms checklist, the complete list of thyroid lab tests + optimal ranges, foods you should avoid if you have thyroid disease, and more): https://www.restartmed.com/start-here/ Recommended thyroid supplements to enhance thyroid function: - Supplements that everyone with hypothyroidism needs: https://bit.ly/3tekPej - Supplement bundle to help reverse Hashimoto's: https://bit.ly/3gSY9eJ - Supplements for those without a thyroid and for those after RAI: https://bit.ly/3tb36nZ - Supplements for active hyperthyroidism: https://bit.ly/3t70yHo See ALL of my specialized supplements including protein powders, thyroid supplements, and weight loss products here: https://www.restartmed.com/shop/ Want more from my blog?

Gotu Kola or Centella Asiatica is a superior nerve tonic from Ayurveda. When I had my own health challenge with Hashimoto's, Hypothyroidism, and brain fog I took Gotu Kola for over a year and after two weeks of taking it, I couldn't believe the amazing results. Gotu Kola's effect on the nervous system is pretty outstanding. It doesn't really fit into the category of calming nervines or sedatives like Lemonbalm, Lavender, Hops, Valerian, and Poppy Seed. Its effect is more long-term and it completely renews the nerve cells on a physical level. That's why I call it a nerve tonic. We have other categories of herbs, besides nervines, to address the nervous system, for example, adaptogens like Ashwagandha and Rhodiola, circulatories like Gingko, and even the anti-inflammatory herb Turmeric can be very beneficial for conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, focus, and memory as many scientific studies have confirmed.

Did you know that the most prescribed medication is a hormone? It is; it's synthetic thyroid hormone, Synthroid. And the majority of people who need it are women. And the majority of women who need it? They have an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto's. Many of them don't even KNOW this though, because of a lack of sufficient testing! Enter today's expert speaker, Dr. Anshul Gupta, author of Reversing Hashimoto's. Dr. Gupta shares with us why this common disease is often undiagnosed, and what you can do to actually reverse it. A must listen if you have or suspect thyroid issues!____Mentioned on the episode: Reversing Hashimoto's book https://amzn.to/3n42Etm
Does it feel like everyone is getting thyroid disease right now? When you look at the numbers, it's clear that the amount of people getting diagnosed with thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism is increasing. The question is why? Well, no one knows for sure but I have some ideas as to why this might be the case. Let's take a look at what conventional doctors say about this very problem and what my opinion is and why they differ. Here are some potential reasons why thyroid disease is increasing and becoming more common: 1. Better diagnostic testing: Whenever you look at increasing numbers of something you always need to consider the fact that technology and better testing may account for that increase. In the case of thyroid disease, it's probably not the case that better and more advanced testing is the cause here because most doctors still use the TSH. 2. More patient awareness: There's no question that patient awareness is playing a role but the role is probably not as big as you might think. That's because doctors are still hesitant and reluctant to use the right tests to diagnose thyroid disease. 3. Higher levels of baseline stress among the population: The thyroid gland is very sensitive to stress and we know that people have more negative experiences now than they did previously. 4. A higher toxic burden owing to endocrine disruptor exposure: The thyroid gland is also very sensitive to chemicals called endocrine disruptors. As these build up in your system, there's no doubt that they can impact thyroid function. 5. General weight gain among the population along with an unhealthy lifestyle that is becoming more common: This is probably the biggest factor of all. Not getting enough sleep, not exercising, experiencing too much stress, and eating processed foods can all slow down thyroid function. #thyroid #hypothyroidism #thyroidtreatment #thyroidawareness #hashimoto #thyroiddisease Download my free thyroid resources here (including hypothyroid symptoms checklist, the complete list of thyroid lab tests + optimal ranges, foods you should avoid if you have thyroid disease, and more): https://www.restartmed.com/start-here/ Recommended thyroid supplements to enhance thyroid function: - Supplements that everyone with hypothyroidism needs: https://bit.ly/3tekPej - Supplement bundle to help reverse Hashimoto's: https://bit.ly/3gSY9eJ - Supplements for those without a thyroid and for those after RAI: https://bit.ly/3tb36nZ - Supplements for active hyperthyroidism: https://bit.ly/3t70yHo See ALL of my specialized supplements including protein powders, thyroid supplements, and weight loss products here: https://www.restartmed.com/shop/ Want more from my blog?

The Investigation Those of you who have been listening to the show for a while might remember the challenges I had with coloring my hair during the pandemic. This upset to my regular routine led me to seek out a healthy, at home option. I was particularly curious about how dying my hair may have impacted the management of my Hashimoto's. You can hear more about that in Episode 121. Well, it's been a year since then and I wanted to give you an update. In this episode, I deep dive into the problem with hair dye for people with autoimmunity, Hashimoto's and thyroid issues. Plus, I share my review of Hairprint after one year of continuous use. The Problem with Traditional Hair Dyes for Autoimmunity and Hypothyroidism Chemicals in hair dye act as immune triggers. This can be a big issue for anyone with an autoimmune disease like Hashimoto's because the immune system is already confused and attacking the thyroid. More confusion means more attacks which can result in a flare up or subtle symptom shifts. If you have hypothyroidism, you may already be dealing with: Hair loss Thinning hair Dry brittle hair Frizzy hair Unfortunately, using traditional hair dye can make it worse. Traditional hair dyes use harsh chemicals like ammonia or nanolumens to break apart the layers of the hair protein to give the dye access to the hair shaft. Even ammonia-free dyes use chemicals like Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) that are potentially harmful (they're even banned in Canada and the EU). Moreover, chemicals in hair dyes seep into the bloodstream during the dying process, causing harm to the immune system, respiratory system, liver, kidneys, and can trigger serious allergic reactions, hair loss, and hair breakage. Why You May Want to Avoid the ‘Organic Hair Dyes' The term ‘organic' is not defined, recognized, or regulated by the FDA in the personal care industry. Companies can add natural ingredients and call their hair dyes organic or natural, but it doesn't mean that they're chemical-free. Often, the added botanical or organic elements have nothing to do with the dyeing process and are there in addition to all the usual chemicals that are in conventional hair dye. It might just be a marketing gimmick. Hairprint: A Safer Alternative to Traditional Hair Dye? I was thrilled to find Hairprint last year for all of the reasons I listed above. Before I share more about the product, I want to clarify that this is not a sponsored post - I genuinely use the product and love the product. And, in the past year of using it, I've learned a lot about how to get the best results. First, let me share a bit about Hairprint (in case you missed episode 121). It's a unique product that doesn't break up the hair follicle and degrade it in any way, unlike traditional hair dyes. This makes it a safer alternative for everyone but especially for those with thyroid issues or autoimmune diseases. It actually restores the natural pigment in hair without using harsh chemicals. How to Apply Hairprint (and Get the Most Out of It) If you've been using Hairprint or plan to use it, it's important to note that it can have a slight drying effect on your hair, even though protein is great for hair. To combat this, I highly recommend hair oiling. You can use moisturizing oils such as amla oil, argan oil, or jojoba oil. You can apply the oil to the full length of your hair or just the ends depending on where you need it and if you want to avoid adding oil to an oily scalp. Now, if you have a dry scalp, you can apply it there as well. Apply the oil 15-20 minutes before shampooing, or even better, leave it in overnight and wash your hair in the morning. I have noticed a significant improvement in my hair's manageability and moisture since starting this practice. I apply the oils right after I do my Hairprint application and then once a week, or sometimes twice a week if I have time. This has made such a difference for my hair, and I highly recommend it for anyone with dry hair, whether or not you are using Hairprint. Guilt Free Hair Coloring One of the great things about using Hairprint is that it's natural, so you don't have to feel guilty about coloring your hair more often. You can do it at home without spending a lot of money or spending time traveling to a salon. It's empowering to be your own self-advocate and take control of your hair health. My Final Take on Hairprint By now, you can tell that I love it. If you have been hesitant to try Hairprint, I encourage you to give it a try and take care of your hair naturally. Eliminating Health Mysteries If changing how you color your hair can reduce your exposure to toxins, it might just be what you need to shift the scales and help you solve your own health mystery.
