Reversing your biological age isn't about chasing youth—it's about giving your body the right conditions to become stronger, healthier, and more resilient at every age.  In this episode, Debra sits down with longevity expert Leslie Kenny to uncover how she transformed a devastating autoimmune diagnosis into a mission to optimize health and extend healthspan.  You'll discover why inflammation, muscle, stress, sleep, and immune health are deeply connected—and how small, consistent changes can create extraordinary results over time.  If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to improve your energy, strength, or future health, this conversation will challenge what you thought was possible.  Reverse your biological age by learning practical strategies that help your body work for you, not against you. My Guest: Leslie Kenny, an Oxford-based longevity expert and graduate of UC Berkeley, personally reversed diagnoses of lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and infertility, later giving birth naturally at the age of 43. Now 60, with a biological age of just 21, her remarkable recovery inspired her to dedicate her life to translating cutting-edge longevity science into accessible, evidence-based solutions for the public. Leslie went on to co-found the Oxford Longevity Project, a nonprofit devoted to educating and empowering individuals to age smarter through science-backed strategies. She also founded Oxford Healthspan, the company behind Primeadine®, a premium, food-derived spermidine supplement sustainably sourced from the longevity islands of Japan, where exceptional numbers of centenarians thrive. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:04:59] You were told at 39 that you had three autoimmune diseases and only a few good years left. Can you take us back to that moment, and what was going through your mind? [00:22:46] Many women in midlife are diagnosed with Hashimoto's without realizing it's an autoimmune condition. How do lifestyle factors contribute, and what should women know? [00:27:17] What impact do lifestyle habits have on inflammation, autoimmune disease, and healthy aging? [00:32:38] What role does spermidine play in healthy aging, and why has it become such an important area of longevity research? [00:36:45] Can you get enough spermidine from food alone, or should women consider supplementation? [00:41:01] Your biological age is dramatically younger than your chronological age. What does that actually mean in terms of how you feel day to day? [00:43:15] Looking back, what do you wish more women understood earlier about protecting their health and aging well?

Surprise... we're expecting baby number four! In this personal update episode of The Well Nourished Mama Podcast, I'm sharing the story behind my (somewhat) unexpected pregnancy announcement, the complicated emotions that came with seeing a positive pregnancy test in this season, and why I believe it's time we normalize the full spectrum of emotions that can accompany pregnancy — not just excitement and joy. As a mom of soon-to-be four children, while managing Hashimoto's, running a business, and navigating a busy season of life, I'm opening up about the expectations I had for my health before becoming pregnant again, why the timing felt especially difficult, and how I've worked through feelings of grief, frustration, guilt, and ultimately acceptance. I'm also sharing the practical changes I'm making to support my body during this pregnancy — from nutrition and blood sugar support to circadian rhythm, mineral replenishment, symptom management, and learning to ask for help. Whether you're trying to conceive with an autoimmune condition, currently pregnant, or simply navigating a season that looks different than you planned, this episode is an honest reminder that your feelings are valid, your body deserves support, and motherhood doesn't require perfection.   Click HERE to access the show notes for this episode and get direct links to any of the resources or other podcast episodes I mentioned in this show.

Have you been told your thyroid labs are "normal" but you still struggle with fatigue, brain fog, and weight gain? Could a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) uncover hidden mineral imbalances that are keeping your Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism symptoms from improving?In this episode, I'm taking you through a real client success story so you can see exactly how I use HTMA testing to connect the dots between someone's symptoms and what's really happening inside their body. We'll go through where this client started, what her test results revealed, and why those findings helped explain years of frustrating symptoms despite her doing everything “right.”I break down the key mineral patterns we found in her HTMA results, explain how they manifested in her body, outline the optimal levels of certain minerals, and show you how we built a personalized plan based on her results rather than relying on guesswork. I also share why I believe testing is one of the most important steps for creating a targeted healing plan, especially when you're dealing with Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism.Finally, we go over her progress over several months, what changed on her retesting, and the lessons you can take away for your own health journey. With HTMA testing, this is what's possible when you stop chasing symptoms and start understanding what your body is trying to tell you. I hope this episode helps inspire you to take that first step toward taking the guesswork out of your health and start on your own path toward optimized health.

Despite receiving treatment for Hashimoto's disease, do you still experience fatigue, brain fog, hair loss, or iron deficiency? Autoimmune gastritis could be the missing component. In this episode, Dr. Anshul Gupta explores the hidden connection between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and autoimmune gastritis (thyrogastric syndrome), a condition that can silently affect nutrient absorption, vitamin B12 levels, iron status, and overall thyroid health.Learn the warning signs of autoimmune gastritis; the tests you should ask for, including anti-parietal cell antibodies, intrinsic factor antibodies, ferritin, and B12 levels; and discover evidence-based strategies to support gut and immune health.#Hashimotos #AutoimmuneGastritis #ThyroidHealth #VitaminB12 #IronDeficiency #GutHealth #Hypothyroidism #FunctionalMedicine #DrAnshulGupta

Eyebrow thinning isn't just a beauty concern—it can be one of the earliest, most overlooked signs of thyroid dysfunction. In this episode, we break down the science behind why hypothyroidism so often shows up first in the outer third of the eyebrows, and why changes in hair growth can reflect deeper shifts in hormone signaling, metabolism, and immune balance. If you've noticed your brows getting sparse, uneven, or unusually slow to grow back, this conversation connects the dots most people miss.We'll explore how thyroid hormones directly influence hair follicle cycling, what makes eyebrow hair uniquely sensitive to hormonal changes, and how conditions like Hashimoto's can quietly alter facial hair patterns long before other symptoms become obvious. You'll also learn how clinicians evaluate eyebrow loss in the broader context of fatigue, dry skin, weight changes, and other subtle but important thyroid clues.Finally, we cover what you can actually do about it—from the lab tests that matter most to treatment strategies that support regrowth and overall thyroid balance. Whether you're already diagnosed or just starting to question what your body is signaling, this episode helps you decode one of the most visible—and often dismissed—thyroid warning signs.

In this episode, Simone sits down with Robbie Jan — Australian entrepreneur, creator, and host of Robbie on the Record — for a candid conversation about body image, diet culture, social media, and the difference between discipline and obsession. Robbie, a former oral health therapist turned entrepreneur with an audience of over 1.8 million, opens up about her personal history with disordered eating, how she rebuilt her sense of identity, and her perspective on the risks and pressures surrounding GLP-1 medications today. This episode is shared as a testimony of recovery, and touches on themes of shame, faith, and self-worth.In This Episode, You'll Hear About:Robbie's background as a clinical oral health therapist and what it taught her about the gap between looking healthy and being healthyHow "wellness" can become another form of performance on social media, and what real rest and recovery look likeRobbie's personal history with disordered eating during a high-stress period in university, and the process of recognizing and naming the problemThe role that shame plays in silence around eating disorders, and how speaking openly can loosen its gripRobbie's faith journey and how reframing her identity helped her separate self-worth from appearance, achievement, and follower countsThe connection between chronic stress, an autoimmune diagnosis (Hashimoto's), and the mind-body link — including a nod to The Body Keeps the ScoreA practical tool Robbie uses: writing down negative self-talk to interrupt automatic thought patternsThe distinction between discipline (rooted in identity) versus obsession (rooted in control)A candid discussion of GLP-1 medications — concerns about off-label prescribing, long-term unknowns, muscle loss, and lesser-known side effects like "Ozempic mouth"Robbie's closing encouragement to women comparing themselves to others: you're on your own timelineA Note on This Episode: This conversation includes a personal account of past disordered eating. It's shared from a place of recovery and reflection, not instruction.

The headlines say your thyroid medication might cause cancer. Before you stop taking it, read this. A 2021 study of over 600,000 people found that long-term levothyroxine users had higher rates of several cancers. That number spread quickly, and for good reason. It sounds alarming. But the study had a critical flaw: it could not separate the effect of the medication from the autoimmune disease that caused people to need it in the first place. In this episode, Evan H. Hirsch, MD breaks down what the research actually found, why Hashimoto's is likely behind the numbers, and what to focus on if you want your health to actually improve. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the study cannot prove levothyroxine caused the cancer, and what it was actually measuring How Hashimoto's thyroiditis, not the medication, likely explains the elevated cancer risk What the study got wrong about who it compared, and why that changes the conclusion Why switching to natural or desiccated thyroid does not reduce your cancer risk What drives autoimmune thyroid disease, and what you can actually do about it Why stopping thyroid medication is not the answer if you want to improve your health Discover your fatigue score and the root causes keeping you stuck: https://myfatiguescore.com Free Fatigue Masterclass: https://fixyourfatigue.com See real results: https://energymdmethod.com/results Chapters: 00:00 - Does Levothyroxine Cause Cancer? 00:31 - What the Research Actually Found 01:22 - Correlation vs. Causation Explained 02:39 - Hashimoto's and Cancer Risk 03:43 - The Toxic 5 and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease 04:50 - Should You Stop Taking Levothyroxine? 06:00 - The Real Root Cause to Address Subscribe to the EnergyMD Podcast for weekly conversations with leading experts on resolving ME/CFS and Long COVID by addressing the real root causes. .

Hair loss is one of the most common health concerns out there, and it's one of the most mishandled. It directly impacts someone's confidence and the way they feel when they look in the mirror, and the standard response from coaches and providers tends to be the same advice across the board no matter what the actual mechanism is. Inside today's episode, I break down the three completely separate physiological pictures that all show up as hair loss but require completely different interventions, and how to identify which pattern you or your client is actually dealing with before reaching for a treatment.Topics discussed: - Hair Loss as Biofeedback- The Three Phases of Hair Growth- Androgenic Alopecia and DHT- Why Testosterone Doesn't Predict Baldness- Topical Alternatives and PRP- The Recovery Lag and Reversibility- Alopecia Areata and the Hashimoto's Connection---------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.metabolismschool.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Series⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- Stay Connected: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: SamMillerScience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

In this episode of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, Dr. Eric Balcavage welcomes back functional medicine health coach, chef, and cookbook author Ginny Mahar to discuss the role nutrition, stress, and lifestyle play in supporting thyroid physiology and long-term health. Ginny shares her personal journey from being diagnosed with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's to discovering how food, lifestyle, and root-cause focused care transformed her health after years of being told everything was "normal." Together, she and Dr. Balcavage discuss why nutrition matters, why restrictive diets aren't the answer for everyone, and how many people with hypothyroidism may actually be under-fueling and over-stressing their bodies. The conversation explores the importance of whole-food nutrition, nervous system regulation, sleep, movement, mindset, and sustainable habits while explaining why healing isn't about finding the perfect diet but about creating the physiologic capacity to recover. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why food and lifestyle can play an important role in supporting thyroid physiology and overall health Ginny Mahar's personal journey with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's and what helped her reclaim her energy Why many people with hypothyroidism are under-fueling while simultaneously over-exercising How chronic stress, poor sleep, and nervous system dysregulation can influence thyroid function and recovery Why whole-food nutrition is more important than chasing the latest diet trend The difference between using elimination diets as temporary tools versus long-term restrictive eating Common myths about thyroid nutrition, including misconceptions surrounding gluten, dairy, goitrogenic foods, and anti-inflammatory eating Why building sustainable habits often produces better long-term results than searching for the "perfect" protocol How Dr. Balcavage's physiology-first approach complements nutrition by focusing on reducing physiologic load and rebuilding resilience About Ginny: Ginny Mahar, FMCHC, is the author of The THYROID30 Cookbook: A 30-Day Plan and 100 Delicious Recipes to Restore Your Energy and Help You Thrive. A Functional Medicine Health Coach and classically trained chef, she helps women with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's create sustainable, thyroid-friendly routines through food, lifestyle, and practical whole-health support.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky welcomes Johanna Dahlmann, also known as the "Alopecia Angel," to discuss natural approaches to overcoming hair loss. Johanna shares her personal journey of reversing alopecia areata after being told there was no cure and explains how that experience led her to help thousands of people around the world with autoimmune, hormonal, and other forms of hair loss. Together, they explore why hair loss is often a symptom of deeper underlying imbalances rather than simply a cosmetic concern. Johanna discusses many of the commonly overlooked contributors to hair loss, including autoimmune disease, thyroid dysfunction, gut health, environmental toxins, breast implant illness, Botox, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and genetics. She also explains why personalized testing and functional medicine can help identify root causes, while emphasizing that no single diet, supplement, or medication works for everyone. Throughout the conversation, she challenges common myths surrounding hair loss and explains why healing requires an individualized, whole-body approach rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. The episode concludes with a discussion about thyroid-related hair loss, realistic expectations for hair regrowth, and why consistency is essential for long-term success. Dr. Eric also shares his perspective on addressing thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions as a foundational step for many people experiencing hair loss. If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of the root causes of hair loss and natural strategies to support healthy hair growth, you'll get a lot out of this episode.  Free resources for your thyroid healthGet your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.comHigh-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto' s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

What does it actually look like to heal from Hashimoto's using a root-cause approach? In this inspiring client spotlight episode of The Well Nourished Mama Podcast, Brooke sits down with her client, Beth Farnsworth, to share Beth's remarkable journey from debilitating fatigue and frustrating postpartum health struggles to putting her Hashimoto's disease into remission. After being diagnosed with Hashimoto's, Beth knew she wanted more than simply managing symptoms. Together, Brooke and Beth discuss the personalized approach they used to uncover the root causes behind her autoimmune condition through comprehensive functional testing, targeted nutrition, mineral balancing, and sustainable lifestyle changes. Beth shares what it felt like to navigate the uncertainty of an autoimmune diagnosis, the breakthroughs she experienced throughout her healing journey, and how addressing her body's foundational needs transformed not only her thyroid health, but her energy, digestion, resilience, and overall quality of life. If you've been diagnosed with Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism, or another autoimmune condition—or you've been told your symptoms are "just postpartum" or "normal"—this conversation offers both hope and practical insight into what personalized, root-cause healing can look like.   Click HERE to access the show notes for this episode and get the link for how you can start working with me, too. 

For years, hypothyroid patients who rely on natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) medications have worried about shortages, changing regulations, and whether their medication would remain available. Now, Amerithroid has entered the conversation as a new American-made NDT option, promising greater transparency in sourcing, manufacturing, and quality. But what makes it different—and could it reshape the future of thyroid treatment?In this episode, we take a deep dive into the story behind Amerithroid, explaining how it compares to the existing brand-name NDT medications, why "Made in America" matters to many patients, and what to know about its ingredients, formulation, and potential benefits. We'll also unpack the recent regulatory challenges surrounding natural desiccated thyroid medications and discuss why the arrival of a new manufacturer is generating so much interest within the thyroid community.Whether you've been successfully treated with NDT for years, are considering switching from levothyroxine, or simply want to understand the latest developments in thyroid care, this episode offers the balanced, evidence-based information you need.

What if your painful gout attacks aren't just about uric acid—but could also be a sign that your thyroid isn't working properly? In this episode, we uncover the surprising scientific connection between hypothyroidism and gout, explaining why people with an underactive thyroid may be more likely to develop elevated uric acid levels and painful gout flare-ups. If you've ever wondered why you're dealing with both conditions, this conversation could provide the missing piece of the puzzle.We'll explore the latest research on how thyroid hormones influence metabolism, kidney function, and the body's ability to clear uric acid. You'll also learn the symptoms that overlap between gout and hypothyroidism, why the two conditions are frequently overlooked together, and how optimizing your thyroid treatment may support better overall health alongside standard gout care.Whether you've experienced a sudden attack of gout, live with Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism, or simply want to understand how seemingly unrelated conditions can be connected, this episode delivers practical, evidence-based insights you can use right away. 

Leaky gut isn't just a digestive issue when you have Hashimoto's—it can fuel the immune attack on your thyroid. In this episode, Dr Anshul Gupta explains the science behind the gut-thyroid connection, including zonulin, molecular mimicry, gut dysbiosis, and why generic gut-healing advice often falls short for autoimmune thyroid disease. You'll discover the Hashimoto's-specific 5R protocol (Remove, Replace, Reinoculate, Repair, and Rebalance); learn which advanced tests can uncover hidden root causes; and understand how a personalised approach may help reduce antibodies, improve symptoms, and support long-term thyroid health. If you've tried probiotics, elimination diets, or supplements without lasting results, this episode will show you why—and what to do next.

What Your TSH Number Isn't Telling You ft. Dr. Brittany Henderson Your TSH can look "perfectly normal" and you can still feel exhausted, foggy, cold, and stuck at a weight that won't budge. In this episode of the Medical Disruptor, I sit down with thyroid specialist Dr. Brittany Henderson to find out why. Dr. Henderson is fellowship-trained at Duke, ran thyroid programs at two major academic centers, and now runs her own thyroid-only practice, the Charleston Thyroid Center. She told me flat out that TSH alone is not enough, and that most doctors don't even know how to read a full thyroid panel. In this conversation we get into why TSH is actually a pituitary hormone, not a thyroid hormone, and why the "normal" TSH reference range was built on flawed population data that included undiagnosed Hashimoto's patients. I ask her what free T4, free T3, and reverse T3 actually reveal that TSH can't, and she walks me through why muscle mass is the missing piece in thyroid hormone conversion, since it's muscle tissue that activates T4 into usable T3. She also explains why up to 95% of people with severe Hashimoto's or a thyroidectomy may need combination T4/T3 therapy instead of T4 alone, and we break down the real differences between levothyroxine, desiccated thyroid extract, and combination treatment. We talk about patients who've been on the wrong thyroid medication for decades and what happens when it's finally corrected, plus the flip side: patients who never needed thyroid medication in the first place and how to tell the difference. Along the way we cover how birth control, inflammation, steroids, and menopause quietly throw off your thyroid labs without anyone telling you. If you've ever been told your thyroid is fine while your body is telling you otherwise, this episode gives you the exact labs to ask for and the language to ask for them.

In this episode, we break down the landmark 2026 American Thyroid Association guidelines, the first major update in nearly a decade, and explain what they mean for anyone who is pregnant, trying to conceive, or planning for the future. You'll learn how these new recommendations could affect thyroid testing, medication management, iodine intake, and care before, during, and after pregnancy.We'll also separate fact from fiction around thyroid disease and pregnancy. From Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism to postpartum thyroiditis, we discuss why early diagnosis and careful monitoring are so important, how thyroid hormone needs can change throughout pregnancy, and what patients should know about working with their healthcare team to protect both maternal and baby health.Whether you've recently been diagnosed, are struggling to optimize your thyroid treatment before conception, or simply want to understand the latest evidence, this episode translates complex medical guidelines into practical, patient-friendly advice.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS, is one of the most common digestive diagnoses women receive — but what if it's not the full story? In this episode, Dr. Shawn Tassone sits down with Dr. Izabella Wentz to unpack the deeper root causes behind IBS, gut symptoms, food sensitivities, and the connection between digestive health and autoimmune disease. Dr. Wentz shares her own personal journey with IBS and Hashimoto's, including how conventional medicine often stops at symptom management instead of asking why the gut is struggling in the first place. Together, Dr. Tassone and Dr. Wentz explore what "normal" digestion should actually look like, why IBS is frequently diagnosed based on symptoms alone, and why many women are left searching for answers when standard treatments don't work. This conversation dives into the role of dietary triggers like gluten, dairy, and food additives, as well as nutritional deficiencies such as magnesium and zinc that may contribute to bloating, constipation, diarrhea, discomfort, and ongoing digestive issues. Dr. Wentz also explains how intestinal permeability — often referred to as "leaky gut" — may play a role in autoimmune conditions and why infections like SIBO and H. pylori are commonly found in women with IBS symptoms. You'll also hear why medications, environmental toxins, and hidden inflammatory triggers may worsen gut health, plus how functional testing can help uncover what is actually driving symptoms instead of masking them. Whether you've been diagnosed with IBS, struggle with bloating or unpredictable digestion, have Hashimoto's or another autoimmune condition, or feel like your symptoms have been dismissed as "normal," this episode offers a more empowering way to understand your gut. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why IBS is often diagnosed without strict testing criteria What healthy digestive function should actually look like The most common dietary triggers behind IBS symptoms How gluten, dairy, and food additives may impact gut health Why magnesium, zinc, and other nutritional deficiencies matter The connection between intestinal permeability and autoimmune disease How SIBO, H. pylori, and infections can worsen IBS symptoms Why some medications and environmental toxins may disrupt the gut How functional medicine testing can help identify root causes Why women are more likely to experience IBS and gut-related symptoms The role genetics and family history may play in IBS susceptibility If you've been told your gut symptoms are "just IBS" but you still don't feel better, this episode is for you. Listen now to learn what may be driving your digestive symptoms — and what questions to ask next.

383: Dahlia Marin is on the show today who is a Plant Based Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, who has used food as medicine on a whole food plant based diet for the past 10 years to overcome pre-diabetes, PCOS, GI issues, obesity, and Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism, and she herself has experienced gut issues so she truly knows and understands the struggle when one comes to her seeking help and can personally relate and empathize with her patients. That's something I personally hate, is when you see a nutritionist or GI doctor who has never experienced gut issues yet they are telling you what to do or can't relate to yoru symptoms. Dahlia can! And she has answers for so many things! In today's conversation we discuss how exercise can actually be doing more harm than good when it comes to your digestion and IBS, how to get the most out of your meals and it may not be what you are eating per se, but when and how you are eating that is causing gut upsets. Dahlia also explains what the "Elemental Diet" is and how it works for a period of 21 days.....I do think the Elemental Diet is something we will be hearing more of in the coming years to help with people with severe gut issues and this is very similar to what I did over a decade ago when I almost died from IBS and other gut issues. If you know my story, I had a go on a pureed diet and puree all my food for 9 intense months and the Elemental Diet is not exactly that, but a bit similar so I can't wait for you to hear more about that and what it is. We also talk about biofilms, how to get rid of them, and if gut mucus is a good or bad thing plus so much more! - This is one of my favorite episodes this year and I don't say that lightly!  Topics Discussed: → The mind-body connection  → The Elemental Diet for IBS → Why exercise is causing GI issues → Is gut mucus bad or good? → how to remove biofilms in the gut lining → lipopolysaccharides  As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.

In this episode, Dr. Amie Hornaman, the “Thyroid Whisperer” and author of The Thyroid Fix, breaks down the complexities of thyroid health, explaining why millions of people continue to struggle with symptoms despite being told their thyroid is "normal." She explores the key differences between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, with a special focus on Hashimoto's disease, the autoimmune condition responsible for the vast majority of hypothyroidism cases. Dr. Hornaman explains why comprehensive thyroid testing goes far beyond measuring TSH alone. She discusses the importance of evaluating Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies to uncover hidden thyroid dysfunction that standard lab work often misses. The conversation also highlights why many patients continue to experience fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, hair loss, depression, and low energy even after beginning traditional thyroid treatment. The episode examines the relationship between thyroid dysfunction and perimenopause, menopause, and hormonal changes, emphasizing how thyroid disorders are frequently overlooked in women during midlife. Dr. Hornaman also discusses how an underactive thyroid can reduce the effectiveness of GLP-1 weight loss medications, making proper thyroid optimization essential for successful weight management. Listeners will learn when lifestyle changes, nutrition, and targeted supplementation may help support early thyroid dysfunction, as well as when thyroid hormone replacement therapy becomes necessary. Dr. Hornaman explains why thyroid hormone replacement is generally a lifelong treatment once significant thyroid damage has occurred, distinguishing it from other forms of hormone replacement therapy. Whether you're experiencing unexplained symptoms, have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, or are seeking better answers about hormone health, this episode provides practical, evidence-informed insights into diagnosis, treatment options, and long-term thyroid wellness.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky welcomes back Dr. Angela Mazza, a triple board-certified endocrinologist specializing in thyroid health, metabolic medicine, and integrative endocrine care. The discussion centers around two topics Dr. Mazza has recently published journal articles on: iodine and thyroid nodules. Together, they explore why iodine remains one of the most controversial nutrients in thyroid medicine and why individualized care is critical when determining whether supplementation is appropriate. Dr. Mazza explains the delicate balance of iodine intake, discussing why both deficiency and excess can create thyroid problems. She also shares her approach to iodine testing, addresses common misconceptions about iodine supplementation, and discusses special considerations for Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. The conversation then shifts into thyroid nodules, where Dr. Mazza explains the most common causes of nodule formation, the role of inflammation, estrogen, insulin resistance, environmental toxins, and genetics, along with how toxic nodules differ from non-functioning nodules. The episode wraps up with an in-depth discussion on goiters, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), thyroid cancer, and modern alternatives to surgery. Dr. Mazza also explains how she evaluates thyroid nodules using ultrasound and shares her perspective on personalized treatment approaches. If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of iodine, thyroid nodules, and goiters, you'll get a lot out of this episode.  Free resources for your thyroid healthGet your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.comHigh-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto' s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

In this episode, I dig into one of the most frustrating things I see women struggle with: being told their thyroid is "fine" based on a single number, while they're still dealing with fatigue, weight gain, hair thinning, brain fog, and feeling cold all the time. Here's what I want you to take away: TSH isn't a full thyroid test. It's just a signal from your brain to your thyroid—not a measurement of what your body is actually producing or whether your cells can use it. The "normal" range is so wide you could drive a Mack truck through it. Normal doesn't mean optimal. The numbers I actually look at: Free T3 – the active hormone your cells actually use. It's the one that matters most and almost never gets tested. You can have plenty of T4 (the storage form) and still feel awful if you're not converting it. Reverse T3 – I think of this as the brake pedal that stress slams on. It's a mirror-image molecule (like your left hand vs. your right) that parks in your receptors and blocks the active hormone from getting in. Chronic stress, low iron, illness, crash dieting, and inflammation all push your body to make more of it. TPO and TG antibodies – these can rise 7 to 10 years before your TSH ever moves. Catching Hashimoto's early gives you a window to address the root drivers. It's never just one thing. Your thyroid gets ambushed—inflammation, stress, nutrient deficiencies, gut issues—all stacked and compounded over time. This is especially true in perimenopause, when rising cortisol, falling ferritin from heavy periods, and lower stomach acid all converge. That's why so many women hit a thyroid crash in their 40s. A real story from my own life: I went in for a checkup and asked to have my antibodies retested (I have a history of Hashimoto's). My doctor physically couldn't add the lab to my file because the system only allows it once—even though my previous result was out of range. This isn't about one bad doctor; the system isn't built to support you. I now have to order my own labs through an outside lab. What your body needs to convert T4 to T3: selenium, zinc, iron, and a calm nervous system. These nutrients are commonly depleted in women, especially with a history of oral birth control. And food is the most bioavailable source—so variety matters. Eating the same meal-prepped chicken and broccoli every week can leave you deficient. A word on supplements: more isn't better. I recently had to remove several supplements from a client's routine because they were overloading her with B vitamins and depleting her minerals. Expensive and fancy doesn't mean right for your body. My bottom line: You have to be the driver of your own health. Look back through your old labs right now and check whether your antibodies and Free T3 have ever been tested. If you've been struggling for six months or more, take action. Your body has an incredible ability to heal when we test properly, look at the whole picture, and give it the right things at the right time.

 Women have been told how we have to show up at work, in our relationships, in our families, in society at large, forever. And it turns out it's costing us way more than we thought. It's making us sick. My guest today, Sara Hirsh Bordo, is a 15-time award-winning documentary filmmaker and somebody who was hit with melanoma, breast tumors, Hashimoto's, and Epstein-Barr all at once. Instead of just treating it, she investigated it. She funded her own research of 1,000 women, the first-ever study on the relationship between empowerment and autoimmune conditions, and what she found was absolutely groundbreaking. Her study was endorsed by a former US surgeon general, and it's an absolute paradigm shift in how we think about autoimmune conditions. Sarah has since completely healed, and we're going to talk about exactly what she did in this episode.
