Why do we crave some foods the more often we eat them? Are we addicted?Dr. Dana Small's research suggests that food craving reaches far beyond taste or willpower, and that “addiction” isn't a helpful descriptor. Every time we eat, unconscious signals from the body teach the brain which foods deliver useful nutrients, and train us to want more of those. In other words, we don't eat crave foods because they taste good; foods taste good because our body craves them.Understanding that means we can rethink overeating. It's not a matter of addiction or self-control; it's our body behaving the way nature intended it to, but in the setting of foods not found in the wild, like those high in both fat and carbohydrates. But we may also be able to train our brain away from these cravings.Free course: Improve your metabolic healthGet our free email course on how glucose, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and measurement can help you build habits that support better energy and long-term health: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠What We CoverTaste vs. flavor, pleasure, motivation, and food rewardHow gut nutrient signals teach the brain which foods to seekWhy fat + carbs produce an unusually strong reward responseWhat eight weeks of high-fat, high-sugar snacks did to the brainHow GLP-1s may cut food wanting while preserving pleasure

In this Q&A episode, Dr. Eric Osansky answers listener questions specifically focused on hyperthyroidism, including Graves' disease, toxic multinodular goiter, thyroid eye disease, and subacute thyroiditis. He starts by discussing the transition from methimazole to natural agents such as bugleweed, why there isn't a single protocol that works for everyone, and the importance of managing elevated thyroid hormone levels while simultaneously working to restore underlying health. Dr. Eric tackles a wide range of practical concerns, including methimazole dosing and long-term use, lowering Graves' antibodies, exercising with hyperthyroidism, nervous system dysregulation, block-and-replace therapy, Graves'-related anxiety, and natural and conventional approaches to thyroid eye disease and double vision. He also discusses muscle weakness, thyroid nodules, berberine, and why having one autoimmune condition such as Graves' can increase susceptibility to developing another autoimmune condition. Throughout the episode, he repeatedly returns to the importance of identifying and removing triggers, healing the gut, supporting immune health, and recognizing that supplements alone aren't a substitute for addressing the underlying factors contributing to autoimmunity. Most importantly, Dr. Eric emphasizes balancing the risks and benefits of conventional and natural approaches rather than viewing them as mutually exclusive. Managing hyperthyroidism safely is important, but the long-term goal is to improve overall health and, when possible, achieve remission rather than simply control thyroid hormone levels indefinitely. If you want practical answers to common hyperthyroid and Graves' disease questions, 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?

Twenty-five years ago, sequencing the human genome seemed poised to usher in an era of personalized medicine. Dr. Euan Ashley helped turn that promise into an actual clinical experiment, leading one of the first efforts to interpret an entire human genome in the context of a real patient's health. The challenge quickly became apparent: medicine could suddenly generate billions of data points about one person, but making sense of them was painfully slow.That history feels newly relevant. Ashley recently gave an AI system his own 15-year-old genome data and watched it reproduce most of an analysis that had originally required months of work by a team, in about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, genomics is being joined by wearables, multi-omics, and other technologies capable of tracking far more of our biology over time.In this episode of NextLevel, we use the genome revolution as a case study for what happens when our ability to measure the body advances faster than our ability to interpret and use the information. The next leap in personalized medicine may depend less on collecting another mountain of data than on building the tools, reference datasets, and healthcare systems capable of turning that information into decisions.Free course: Improve your metabolic healthGet our free email course on how glucose, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and measurement can help you build habits that support better energy and long-term health: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠

In this Q&A episode, Dr. Eric Osansky answers listener questions focused primarily on hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's, and general thyroid health. He starts with iodine exposure from CT contrast and the nutrients needed for healthy thyroid function, then explores how symptoms like hair loss, fatigue, thinning eyebrows, and temperature changes can overlap with thyroid dysfunction, perimenopause, nutrient deficiencies, and other underlying imbalances. Dr. Eric also tackles questions about thyroid hormone replacement, including natural desiccated thyroid versus synthetic options, difficulty tolerating medication changes, thyroid hormone resistance, and whether it's possible to eventually reduce the need for thyroid medication. He discusses thyroid nodules and goiters, low ferritin, medicinal mushrooms, autoimmune gastritis, secretory IgA, persistent leaky gut, food sensitivities, parasite cleanses, and why identifying underlying triggers is often more important than simply adding more supplements. Throughout the episode, Dr. Eric emphasizes that thyroid care needs to be individualized. Lab values, symptoms, immune health, gut health, nutrient status, medications, and the underlying cause of thyroid dysfunction all matter when deciding what steps to take.

Is intermittent fasting biohacker wellness hype or legit health intervention? Some studies show real benefits, others find nothing, and the occasional headline calls it bad for your heart.Dr. Courtney Peterson has spent nearly two decades running some of the field's most tightly controlled feeding trials, and her data points to a clear pattern: there is a real effect to a restricted eating window, but when you eat may matter as much as how long you fast. Her studies found that eating in a short window early in the day lowers blood pressure and improves insulin sensitivity, even without weight loss. A physicist by training, she brings that same rigor to a field built mostly on people's own food diaries.Free course: Improve your metabolic healthGet our free email course on how glucose, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and measurement can help you build habits that support better energy and long-term health: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky welcomes naturopathic physician Dr. Tricia Pingel for a comprehensive conversation about chronic stress, adrenal health, and nervous system dysregulation. After spending years helping patients with stress and hormone health, Dr. Tricia eventually recognized that she was experiencing significant adrenal dysfunction herself. She shares how decades of performing for others, caring for family members, navigating grief, running a medical practice, and continually pushing through stress eventually took a toll on her physical and emotional health. Dr. Tricia explains why supplements and healthy habits can be valuable but may not be enough when the nervous system remains stuck in a chronic fight-or-flight state. She and Dr. Eric discuss boundaries, learning to say no, prioritizing yourself while still caring for others, mindset, nutrition, exercise, functional testing, and the importance of creating a sustainable approach to healing. Dr. Tricia also shares how returning to hip-hop dancing helped her reconnect with joy and regulate her nervous system, and why the most effective stress-management practice may look completely different from one person to another. The conversation ultimately highlights that recovering from chronic stress isn't about finding one perfect supplement or protocol. It's about understanding your individual stress response, creating an environment in which your nervous system can thrive, and consistently making choices that support your physical and emotional well-being. Tune in to better understand chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, and how reconnecting with yourself can become an important part of the healing process. To take the Save My Thyroid Quiz visit www.savemythyroid.com/quiz 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 if we could measure the human body the way engineers monitor a jet engine?For nearly two decades, Stanford geneticist Dr. Michael Snyder has been trying exactly that. By continuously tracking everything he could possibly track in his body—genome sequencing, metabolites, wearable data, whole-body imaging—he has turned himself (and ~100 study subjects) into one of the world's largest experiments in continuous health measurement.The point wasn't mindless biohacking. It was to answer a question: Are there clinically useful signals in all that data?This conversation suggests the answer is yes. Snyder's experience and that of dozens of his study subjects offer some of the first real evidence that continuous measurement intelligently analyzed can reveal that you're getting sick before you have symptoms, help find solutions to medical conditions that work for your unique biology, and help you refocus on prevention of disease rather than management.Free course: Improve your metabolic healthGet our free email course on how glucose, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and measurement can help you build habits that support better energy and long-term health: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky concludes his 3-part hormone series by exploring the important relationship between progesterone and thyroid health. While estrogen often receives most of the attention, progesterone also plays a vital role in supporting thyroid hormone sensitivity, reproductive health, immune regulation, sleep, mood, and nervous system function. Dr. Eric explains why symptoms of low progesterone frequently overlap with both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, making proper testing and individualized evaluation essential. Dr. Eric discusses how chronic stress, adrenal dysfunction, thyroid imbalances, and hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can all contribute to lower progesterone levels. He explains the role progesterone plays in Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, fertility, anxiety, insomnia, and menstrual health, while also reviewing common testing options, including serum progesterone and the DUTCH test. Throughout the episode, he emphasizes supporting adrenal health, improving stress resilience, optimizing sleep, and addressing root causes before relying solely on hormone replacement whenever appropriate. The episode concludes with practical recommendations for naturally supporting healthy progesterone levels through stress management, nutrition, targeted nutrients, and herbs such as Vitex, while acknowledging that bioidentical progesterone has an important place for some individuals.

For decades, we've been told that eating less fat is one of the healthiest things we can do. That advice reshaped the foods we buy, the way we think about weight loss, and even how parents feed their children.But what if we misunderstood fat in the first place?In this episode, nutrition researcher Dr. Arne Astrup traces how the war on fat began, why many of its core assumptions haven't held up under decades of research, and what we've learned instead. Rather than asking whether fat is "good" or "bad," he argues that the more useful questions are: What foods actually keep us healthy? Why do some people gain weight more easily than others? And what happens when we reduce nutrition to single nutrients instead of whole foods?Free course: Improve your metabolic healthGet our free email course on how glucose, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and measurement can help you build habits that support better energy and long-term health: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky welcomes back bestselling author, nurse practitioner, and women's health expert Cynthia Thurlow to discuss her newest book, The Menopause Gut. Cynthia explains why gut health should be at the center of every conversation about perimenopause and menopause, sharing both the science behind the gut-hormone connection and her own personal journey that inspired the book. Together, they explore how declining estrogen influences immune function, gut permeability, inflammation, and the risk of autoimmune conditions during midlife. The conversation dives into the important role of the estrobolome, estrogen metabolism, food sensitivities, detoxification, genetics, and the impact of chronic stress on hormonal health. Cynthia also discusses why symptoms such as hot flashes, weight gain, digestive issues, sleep disturbances, and joint pain shouldn't simply be accepted as "normal aging." Along the way, she shares practical strategies for improving gut health, increasing fiber intake, supporting the vagus nerve, reducing inflammation, and making personalized decisions about hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The episode concludes with an empowering message that women don't have to suffer through perimenopause and menopause. By understanding the connection between hormones, the gut microbiome, metabolism, and thyroid health, it's possible to improve symptoms and support long-term wellness.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky explores the complex relationship between estrogen and thyroid health. While estrogen is often associated with reproductive health, it also plays an important role in thyroid hormone activity, immune function, metabolism, and overall hormonal balance. Dr. Eric explains how estrogen can influence thyroid hormone availability through thyroid-binding globulin (TBG), why both high and low estrogen levels can create problems, and how hormonal imbalances may contribute to thyroid symptoms in women with Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Dr. Eric also discusses estrogen dominance, progesterone balance, and the connection between estrogen, thyroid autoimmunity, and life stages such as puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause. He reviews the important role of gut health—particularly the estrobolome and beta-glucuronidase—in estrogen metabolism, along with the impact of chronic stress, xenoestrogens, environmental toxins, liver function, and detoxification. In addition, he explains the pros and cons of various hormone testing methods, including blood testing and the DUTCH test, while highlighting nutrients and supplements that may support healthy estrogen metabolism when appropriate. The episode concludes with practical recommendations for supporting both thyroid and estrogen balance through nutrition, stress management, gut health, and personalized testing when needed.

Almost everything your doctor knows about you comes from a snapshot: a blood pressure reading, an annual lab, a handful of numbers meant to represent a constantly changing human body.That's beginning to change. New sensors promise far more continuous health data, and AI may finally give us the ability to interpret it. But medicine has been through a data revolution before, and almost none of what people initially promised actually happened.In the first episode of NextLevel, Mike Haney sits down with Dr. Robert Wachter, Chair of the Department of Medicine at UCSF and one of medicine's leading thinkers on technological change, to ask what healthcare's messy transition from paper to electronic records can teach us about the AI era.Wachter explains why digitizing medicine didn't transform care on its own, why your doctor is already overwhelmed by data, and why simply sending them continuous feeds from your watch, ring, or future sensors would make the problem worse.The missing piece is an intelligence layer: a system capable of deciding what matters, helping patients act when they can, and pulling clinicians in when they're actually needed.They also explore how AI is changing the balance of knowledge between doctors and patients, the danger of trusting systems that are usually right, what healthcare can learn from airplane cockpits, and why collecting more health data may be much easier than figuring out what any of it means.Free course: Improve your metabolic healthGet our free email course on how glucose, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and measurement can help you build habits that support better energy and long-term health: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠

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.

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.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky explores a common question he receives from people with hyperthyroidism: Can I incorporate intermittent fasting? While fasting has been praised for benefits such as weight loss, blood sugar regulation, reduced inflammation, and improved metabolic health, Dr. Eric explains why those with hyperthyroidism and Graves' disease need to approach fasting differently than the general population. Dr. Eric reviews the most common fasting methods, including overnight fasting, 16:8 intermittent fasting, alternate-day fasting, water fasting, and fasting-mimicking diets. He explains how hyperthyroidism creates a catabolic state characterized by increased metabolism, muscle breakdown, and weight loss, making prolonged fasting potentially problematic for some people. He also discusses the important roles of adrenal health, cortisol balance, blood sugar regulation, insulin resistance, and stress when determining whether fasting is appropriate.Throughout the episode, Dr. Eric emphasizes the importance of individualization. While fasting may offer benefits for certain people, especially those with stable thyroid levels and insulin resistance, it may be counterproductive for others who are actively hyperthyroid, losing weight, struggling with adrenal dysfunction, or experiencing significant symptoms.

Elevated ApoB. A positive CAC score. Now what?Most people quickly find themselves trapped between two extremes: simplistic advice to “cut saturated fat” and online influencers insisting cholesterol doesn't matter at all.In this episode of A Whole New Level, Mike Haney sits down with clinical research scientist Dr. Kevin Maki to cut through the confusion.Drawing on more than 35 years of cardiovascular research, Maki explains why heart disease risk is about much more than LDL cholesterol alone. He breaks down the roles of inflammation, blood sugar, family history, kidney function, and lipoproteins, while also making a clear case for something many people resist: LDL and ApoB still matter. A lot.The evidence increasingly suggests that when it comes to atherosclerosis, lower for longer is better. That has important implications for diet, statins, and how early we should intervene.Mike and Dr. Maki also tackle saturated fat, seed oils, red meat, industry-funded research, and how to separate evidence from online nutrition debates.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky welcomes thyroid patient advocate, speaker, and bestselling author Rachel Hill to discuss her book, The Positive Thyroid Pregnancy Book. Drawing from both her personal experiences and years of supporting thyroid patients, Rachel shares practical guidance for navigating fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum health while managing hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. While her focus is primarily on hypothyroidism, much of the conversation applies to anyone dealing with thyroid or autoimmune thyroid conditions. Together, they explore some of the biggest challenges thyroid patients face when trying to conceive, including infertility, miscarriage risk, thyroid antibody management, medication considerations, and optimizing thyroid hormone levels.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky takes a deep dive into black seed oil (Nigella sativa) and its potential role in supporting thyroid and autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease. He explains the differences between whole black seed, powdered black seed, black seed oil, and black seed essential oil, highlighting why these distinctions matter when interpreting the research. Dr. Eric reviews the available studies, including a clinical trial involving people with Hashimoto's thyroiditis that demonstrated improvements in thyroid markers, thyroid antibodies, and metabolic health. He also discusses the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating properties of Nigella sativa, exploring how these mechanisms may support immune system balance and potentially benefit those with autoimmune conditions. Along the way, he addresses important considerations such as supplement quality, thymoquinone content, product variability, and potential contraindications.Finally, Dr. Eric offers a balanced perspective on where black seed oil fits into a comprehensive thyroid-healing strategy. While the research is promising, he explains why it isn't a supplement he routinely recommends to every patient and discusses how it compares to other antioxidant-support supplements. If you want a clearer understanding of black seed oil, the science behind it, and whether it may have a place in your thyroid health journey, you'll get a lot out of this episode.To take the Save My Thyroid Quiz visit www.savemythyroid.com/quiz 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?

Yet many people lost weight only to regain it. According to obesity medicine pioneer Dr. Robert Kushner, that wasn't a failure of willpower. It was a failure to fully understand the biology driving weight regulation.In this episode of A Whole New Level, Mike Haney sits down with Kushner, one of the leading figures in obesity medicine and a lead investigator on the landmark STEP trials, to discuss how GLP-1 medications are changing the field. He explains why these drugs may be the first treatments capable of helping patients “fight biology with biology,” why appetite regulation appears to work differently in different people, and why many patients describe a dramatic reduction in food noise after starting treatment.But this conversation goes beyond how the drugs work. Kushner also addresses one of the biggest questions facing obesity medicine today: who should actually take these medications? He explains why obesity specialists evaluate far more than a number on the scale, why someone hoping to lose a modest amount of weight may want to think carefully before pursuing treatment, and why successful long-term health still requires changes that no medication can provide.They also discuss obesity as a disease, the promise and limitations of telehealth prescribing, and why maintaining weight loss often requires something deeper than motivation: a shift in identity.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky tackles a question that often surprises thyroid patients: Can Hashimoto's thyroiditis turn into Graves' disease, and can Graves' disease eventually become Hashimoto's? While these conditions are commonly viewed as opposites—one causing hypothyroidism and the other hyperthyroidism—Dr. Eric explains why the relationship between them isn't always so straightforward. Dr. Eric breaks down the differences between the thyroid antibodies associated with each condition, explains how antibody patterns can overlap, and discusses why some people test positive for both Graves' and Hashimoto's antibodies at the same time. He also explores possible reasons these transitions occur, including immune dysregulation, environmental triggers, gut health issues, nutrient deficiencies, chronic stress, infections, mold exposure, and hormonal changes. Along the way, he clarifies common misconceptions about Hashitoxicosis, “thyroid burnout,” and the importance of proper antibody testing.Most importantly, Dr. Eric emphasizes that both Graves' disease and Hashimoto's are immune system conditions rather than simply thyroid disorders. By focusing on identifying triggers, restoring immune balance, and supporting gut health, it's possible to improve symptoms, lower antibodies, and achieve long-term remission. If you want a clearer understanding of how autoimmune thyroid conditions can evolve over time—and what you can do about it—you'll get a lot out of this episode.

In this episode, Dr. Eric interviews acupuncturist, author, and educator Robin Ray Green about the often-overlooked environmental stressors that can silently interfere with thyroid health, immune function, energy, and healing. Drawing from her own personal journey with mold illness, Robin explains how invisible stressors like mold, poor water quality, EMFs, and air pollution can overwhelm the body—even when someone is following a clean diet and healthy lifestyle.Robin shares how chronic mold exposure dramatically impacted her health, leading to debilitating fatigue, brain fog, and burnout despite doing everything “right.” This experience led her to explore the deeper root causes of chronic illness and uncover how environmental toxins, poor sleep environments, electronic pollution, and hidden emotional stressors can keep the body stuck in a constant state of stress and inflammation.The conversation also explores practical strategies for reducing toxic burden, improving sleep quality, choosing better water filtration systems, minimizing EMF exposure, and supporting the body's natural healing processes.

But Dr. Andrew Koutnik argues the science is more complicated.In this episode, Mike Haney talks with Dr. Koutnik about how the body fuels exercise, why muscle glycogen may not explain “hitting the wall” as neatly as many people think, and why blood glucose, brain energy, insulin, and metabolic flexibility may matter more than conventional sports nutrition advice suggests.They discuss whether athletes really need 60, 90, or even 120 grams of carbs per hour, why some athletes may perform well on far less, and how to think about fueling as an individual experiment rather than a universal rule. Because apparently even “eat sugar while running” was too simple for human physiology to leave alone.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky discusses an important reality many people with hyperthyroidism and Graves' disease eventually face: doing everything “right” with diet and lifestyle, yet still not experiencing complete healing. Dr. Eric explains why foundational practices like following an anti-inflammatory diet, reducing stress, improving sleep, and taking nutritional supplements are essential—but often only part of the solution.He dives into the deeper root causes commonly overlooked in conventional and even natural approaches to thyroid healing. Topics include gut infections such as H. pylori, parasites, SIBO, and candida overgrowth, along with environmental toxins and toxicants like mold, microplastics, glyphosate, and heavy metals. Dr. Eric also explores the importance of vagus nerve support, nervous system regulation, oral health, and reducing toxic burden through cleaner living environments and healthier daily habits.Throughout the episode, Dr. Eric emphasizes the importance of functional medicine testing and individualized care while also discussing common mistakes people make during their healing journey—such as relying solely on diet, avoiding testing altogether, or jumping from protocol to protocol. If you feel stuck despite making major lifestyle changes, this episode will help you better understand what may be missing and what steps to consider next in your healing journey.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky welcomes back Dr. Amie Hornaman to discuss her new book, The Thyroid Fix. Together, they dive into the most common misconceptions surrounding hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's, including why so many people continue to experience symptoms despite being told their thyroid labs are “normal.” Dr. Amie shares her personal motivation for writing the book and explains how she hopes to empower people to better understand their thyroid health and advocate for themselves.Dr. Amie breaks down what a complete thyroid panel should include, why testing only TSH is often insufficient, and the important roles of free T3 and reverse T3 in thyroid hormone conversion and metabolism. The conversation also explores autoimmune triggers, hormone fluctuations during pregnancy and menopause, the connection between stress and thyroid dysfunction, and why testosterone may play a protective role against autoimmunity. They also discuss T2 supplementation, common nutrient deficiencies, iodine, ashwagandha, and the growing conversation around GLP-1 medications.The episode closes with an encouraging discussion about hope, healing, and the importance of individualized thyroid care. Dr. Amie emphasizes that taking thyroid hormone replacement is not a failure and explains when Hashimoto's may potentially be reversed or put into remission.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky sits down with health and lifestyle coach, podcast host, and author Jenn Trepeck to discuss her new book, Uncomplicating Wellness. Jenn shares her personal journey through years of dieting, weight struggles, and frustration before discovering that lasting health comes from understanding human biology instead of following restrictive wellness rules.During the conversation, Jenn explains why so many people feel confused by today's wellness industry and how modern health culture often skips over the foundations that truly move the needle. They discuss topics like listening to your body, misleading food marketing, protein versus fiber, BMI misconceptions, muscle and metabolism, willpower, stress, sleep, and the difference between biohacking and what Jenn calls “biostacking.” Jenn also shares practical strategies for reducing stress, rebuilding trust with your body, and simplifying wellness in a sustainable way.If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of wellness and how to build a strong foundation for better health, you'll get a lot out of this episode.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky dives into the often-debated topic of gluten and grains—and their impact on thyroid health, especially in those with Graves' disease and Hashimoto's. While many people understand the need to avoid gluten, there's still a lot of confusion around whether gluten-free grains are truly safe during the healing process.Dr. Eric explains why gluten is a common trigger for autoimmune conditions, touching on mechanisms like increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut), immune activation, and molecular mimicry. He also breaks down the bigger picture of grains as a whole, including how compounds like phytates, lectins, and even mold exposure can interfere with gut healing—even when gluten isn't present. You'll also hear his perspective on controversial topics like sourdough bread, eating gluten in other countries, and whether glyphosate is to blame.He wraps up by emphasizing a practical, balanced approach: while some people may tolerate certain grains, removing both gluten and grains—at least temporarily—can significantly improve your chances of restoring gut health and achieving remission.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky breaks down the role of functional medicine testing for those dealing with Graves' disease, Hashimoto's, and other thyroid conditions. While conventional lab work can help diagnose thyroid disorders, it often falls short in uncovering the root causes behind autoimmunity. Dr. Eric shares his clinical perspective on how deeper testing can help identify underlying triggers and imbalances.Throughout the episode, he walks through the most commonly recommended tests, including adrenal panels, hormone testing, gut health assessments, and environmental toxin evaluations. He explains when each test may be helpful, the limitations of certain testing methods, and why more testing isn't always better. Dr. Eric also addresses controversial topics like leaky gut testing, food sensitivity panels, and the balance between testing and foundational lifestyle changes.If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of functional medicine testing for thyroid conditions—and how to approach it without overwhelm—you'll get a lot out of this episode.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky talks with returning guest Dr. Izabella Wentz about her new book, IBS: Finding and Treating the Root Cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Drawing from both personal experience and clinical insight, Dr. Wentz explains why IBS is often more than just a stress-related diagnosis and how it can serve as an early warning sign of deeper imbalances, including thyroid autoimmunity.The conversation explores the difference between IBS and inflammatory bowel disease, why some people diagnosed with IBS may actually have celiac disease or IBD, and the many possible root causes behind chronic digestive symptoms. Dr. Wentz discusses food reactions, SIBO, parasites, H. pylori, medications, nutrient deficiencies, thyroid hormone imbalances, stress, and lifestyle factors that can all play a role in gut dysfunction. She also shares why testing matters, why symptom relief is not the same as true resolution, and why approaches like the low FODMAP diet may only be a short-term tool.This episode gives listeners a broader, more practical understanding of how gut issues connect with immune dysregulation and thyroid health.

In this Q&A episode, Dr. Eric dives into the powerful connection between gut health and thyroid function. Recorded during a Substack livestream for his Healing Graves' Naturally newsletter, he begins by explaining why the gut is such a central player in thyroid autoimmunity. With most immune system cells residing in the gut and about 20% of thyroid hormone conversion occurring in the gut microbiome, maintaining gut health is critical for those dealing with Graves' disease, Hashimoto's, or other thyroid conditions.Throughout the episode, Dr. Eric answers listener questions about gut testing, including when to use comprehensive stool tests, SIBO breath tests, or organic acids testing. He also discusses leaky gut testing, parasites, H. pylori treatment options, histamine intolerance, and how gut imbalances can contribute to symptoms like bloating, gas, and constipation. He explains how diet, stress management, and proper digestive support can play a role in restoring gut balance.Listeners will also learn about natural approaches to supporting stomach acid levels, the role of fiber in producing beneficial compounds like butyrate, and whether sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit affect the gut microbiome.

In this episode, Dr. Eric talks with certified nutritionist and menopause specialist Leah Vachani about blood sugar imbalances, insulin resistance, and how these issues often show up long before a diagnosis of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Leah shares how her work with women in perimenopause and menopause led her to see blood sugar as a major missing piece in hormone health, energy, sleep, and weight regulation.Together, they explore why stress, poor sleep, processed foods, and hormone shifts can all contribute to unstable blood sugar. Leah also explains how continuous glucose monitors can help people see their individual patterns more clearly, from food triggers to stress spikes, while also discussing the limits of CGMs, fasting insulin, A1C, protein intake, apple cider vinegar, intermittent fasting, and exercise.This conversation gives listeners a practical, realistic look at how to support better metabolic health without chasing perfection.

In this Q&A episode, Dr. Eric answers listener-submitted questions all about thyroid antibodies—what they are, why they matter, and how they impact both Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. He begins by clarifying the three main thyroid antibodies—TPO, TSI/TRAB, and thyroglobulin antibodies—and explains why understanding these markers is critical when assessing true remission.Throughout the episode, Dr. Eric addresses common concerns such as: Can you be in remission if antibodies are still positive? How often should antibodies be tested? Can diet alone normalize them? He also explores the role of environmental triggers, gut health, gluten, iodine, and even supplements like selenium, black seed oil, and low-dose naltrexone (LDN). You'll hear practical guidance on why antibodies fluctuate, what “optimal” really means (not just “within range”), and why many conventional endocrinologists don't routinely monitor these markers.If you're confused about your antibody results—or wondering why you relapsed after being told you were “in remission”—this episode will help you connect the dots.

We take 20,000 breaths a day… but rarely do we stop to consider what we're actually breathing in.I recently sat down with indoor air quality expert Michael Rubino to have a thoughtful, eye-opening conversation about mold, hidden water damage, and why so many homes; old and new, may be affecting our health more than we realize.We covered a lot in this conversation from why mold is often missed (even in newer homes), to the difference between a basic home inspection and a true mold inspection, to how dust testing and mycotoxin testing can sometimes help connect the dots. We also talked about practical steps like HVAC maintenance, proper remediation, and when it makes sense to go deeper versus when not to overreact.If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of mold, testing, and indoor air quality, you'll get a lot out of this episode.Episode Timeline: 01:02 – Introduction To Michael Rubino02:56 – How Mold Became His Focus05:10 – Is Mold Getting Worse?05:38 – Tighter Homes, Bigger Problems10:59 – Mold In New Construction16:11 – Home Inspector Vs Mold Inspector19:36 – Which Molds Matter Most21:10 – Mycotoxins And Health Impact27:04 – Dust Test Explained32:46 – What To Do Next33:37 – Why Cheap Testing Fails37:41 – Hidden Mold In Homes38:42 – Maintaining Healthy Indoor Air40:09 – HVAC And Filtration Tips42:30 – Preventing Mold Long Term43:42 – Should You Throw Everything Away?47:40 – Where To Find Michael Rubino49:58 – Dr. Eric's Closing InsightsAbout Michael Rubino: Michael Rubino has become the renowned leader in the indoor air quality, mold and remediation space.

Mental health challenges are often an overlooked part of thyroid and autoimmune disease and that matters more than most people realize.This episode explores the connection between mental health and thyroid autoimmunity, and why symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or brain fog are often biologically influenced, not just emotional. I walk through how thyroid hormone imbalances, inflammation, and nervous system regulation can affect mental well-being, including the role of the gut. We also look at how chronic stress and trauma can contribute to both thyroid issues and mental health symptoms. The focus is on a balanced, whole-body approach that prioritizes safety, individuality, and root causes rather than quick fixes.Tune in to better understand why mental health symptoms are so common in thyroid and autoimmune disease and what that connection really means.Episode Timeline: 0:02 – Mental Health and Thyroid1:25 – Hormones and Neurotransmitters2:55 – Anxiety and Hyperthyroidism4:05 – Depression and Low Thyroid5:15 – Autoimmunity and Inflammation6:45 – Neuroinflammation Explained8:10 – Leaky Gut, Leaky Brain9:36 – Stress, Trauma, and Thyroid12:40 – Nervous System Regulation14:50 – Gut Health and Mood17:30 – Nutrients and Mental Health18:47 – Medications and Mood Effects21:20 – Whole-Body Healing Approach23:40 – Key Takeaways and Next StepsIf you want to subscribe to my free Healing Graves' Naturally newsletter visithttps://savemythyroid.com/GravesNewsletter 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?

If you've ever wondered whether your thyroid questions are too specific or if anyone else is dealing with the same confusion this episode is for you.In this Q&A episode, I answer a mix of situational and common thyroid health questions submitted by listeners with Graves', Hashimoto's, and other thyroid conditions. We cover topics like thyroid antibodies, lab interpretation, medication decisions, iodine, fatigue, hair loss, nodules, and lifestyle factors such as fasting and gut health. Some questions are very individual, while others apply broadly and can help you better understand your own labs and symptoms. My goal is to give you context not one-size-fits-all answers, so you can make more informed decisions about your next steps.If you've been asking yourself, “Does this apply to me?” or “Why hasn't this been explained clearly before?”, tune in and see which of these questions helps bring clarity to your own thyroid journey.Episode Timeline: 00:04 – Episode Overview 01:40 – Antibodies and Thyroid Eye Disease03:35 – T3 vs T4 Medications05:45 – Hyperthyroidism vs Graves Disease07:05 – When Thyroid Meds Don't Help09:09 – Fluctuating Hyper and Hypo Labs11:40 – Hyperparathyroidism and Surgery Questions15:55 – Thyroid Ablation: Risk vs Benefit18:32 – What Triggers Graves Disease22:10 – Iodine: Helpful or Harmful?26:10 – Hair Loss and Thyroid Imbalance27:34 – Preventing Postpartum Thyroiditis30:10 – Intermittent Fasting and Thyroid Health33:00 – Gut Testing: Is It Worth It?36:30 – Thyroid Nodules and Treatment Options40:15 – High Cholesterol and Thyroid Issues42:40 – Can You Stop Thyroid Medication?45:10 – Normal TSH, Still SymptomaticTo take the Save My Thyroid Quiz visit www.savemythyroid.com/quiz 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?

When fatigue lingers, it can be a sign that the body's ability to produce energy isn't functioning the way it should. Could that be what's happening in your case?. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Scott Sherr to explain why energy dysfunction is so common in chronic illness, and how methylene blue is being used clinically to support mitochondrial function, oxidative stress balance, and detoxification.I also explain why this topic is especially relevant for people with thyroid and autoimmune conditions, based on what I see regularly in practice. We finish by discussing nervous system regulation, GABA support, and why calming the stress response is often necessary before energy can truly improve.If you've been feeling worn down despite “doing all the right things,” this episode will help you think differently about what your body may actually need.Episode Timeline: 00:02 – Episode Introduction01:43 – Dr. Scott's Background06:26 – When Hyperbaric Helps08:59 – Hyperbaric and Chronic Illness12:51 – What Is Methylene Blue13:10 – Why Methylene Blue Helps18:04 – Why Energy Breaks Down19:09 – Detox and Antioxidant Support23:09 – Antimicrobial Effects Explained26:59 – Acute vs Chronic Dosing29:20 – Methylene Blue for UTIs32:04 – Safety and Side Effects37:33 – Thyroid and Autoimmune Support38:55 – Energy Changes in Thyroid Patients41:54 – Who Should Not Use42:16 – Product Quality Differences51:55 – Understanding the GABA System52:41 – GABA, Anxiety, and Sleep59:49 – When GABA Support Helps1:03:06 – Final Thoughts and ResourcesAbout Dr. Scott Sherr: Is a Board-Certified Internal Medicine Physician certified to Practice Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) and a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) specialist.

It's now 2026 and if you want to move your thyroid health forward, this episode will help you rethink where to focus.In this episode, I share ten (10) healing priorities for Graves' disease and Hashimoto's to focus on as we settle into the new year. We talk about why stress management and nervous system support remain foundational, how extreme fasting can actually slow progress, and why small, consistent adjustments tend to be more sustainable and more effective than drastic changes.I also address common questions about foods like cruciferous vegetables, explain the role of gut health through my 5R framework, and discuss why vitamin D and omega-3 levels matter. This isn't about doing everything at once. It's about choosing a few priorities and building from there.If you're starting the year looking for a steadier, more realistic approach to thyroid healing, this episode will set you straight in that direction.Episode Timeline:00:03 – Why These Tips Matter in 202601:10 – Take Stress More Seriously05:20 – Support the Nervous System08:55 – Avoid Extreme Fasting11:45 – Go to Bed Earlier13:40 – Reduce Microplastics and Glyphosate16:20 – Eating Broccoli Without Fear18:05 – The 5R Gut Healing Approach20:35 – Optimize Vitamin D and Omega-3s22:45 – Always Support the Immune System24:10 – Work With an Experienced Practitioner25:45 – How to Pace These Changes  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?

There's a point where labs, diet, and protocols stop explaining why symptoms linger and that's where this episode begins.Healing doesn't always stall because the body lacks the right nutrients or protocol. Sometimes it's because the brain and nervous system are still holding unresolved trauma. Dr. Louise Swartswalter explains how neurobiofeedback and trauma release work can influence regulation, resilience, and the body's ability to heal. So If you're open to exploring how brain health and trauma resolution might fit into a root-cause thyroid healing approach, this episode will give you a thoughtful place to start.

If gut cleanses are supposed to help with different health conditions, why do so many people feel worse or unchanged?Gut cleanses, detoxes, and parasite protocols are often positioned as the missing piece for autoimmune thyroid conditions, but the results don't always match the promise. This conversation breaks down what people really mean when they say “gut cleanse,” where these approaches can be helpful, and why focusing only on clearing things out can leave the immune system stuck in high gear. It also explores how medications, detox pathways, gut repair, and nervous system balance intersect, and why timing and sequence matter more than doing “more.”If you've tried cleanses hoping they'd finally calm your symptoms, this will help you understand what may be holding you back and how to approach gut health with more clarity and confidence. Tune in before you try another cleanse.Episode Timeline:0:00 – What Is a Gut Cleanse2:10 – Do Cleanses Help Graves4:05 – Gut Cleanse vs Detox6:15 – Parasite Cleanse Explained9:10 – When Cleanses Backfire11:30 – Medications and Gut Health14:05 – Why Removal Isn't Enough16:40 – The 5R Gut Framework19:45 – Timing Matters for Healing22:10 – Big Picture Takeaway 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?

If you're newly diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, start here.This episode lays out a foundational overview of foods that are best avoided when healing from hyperthyroidism or Graves' disease. I cover the “big ones” like gluten, dairy, refined sugar, alcohol, and grains, as well as the less obvious culprits. I also explain the reasoning behind these recommendations, including gut permeability, immune reactivity, and long-term thyroid stability. You'll leave with a clearer sense of which foods might be interfering with healing, even if they don't cause obvious symptoms.If you're overwhelmed with conflicting diet advice and want a grounded place to start, this episode is for you.Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Episode Preview00:53 – Podcast Intro01:19 – No One-Size-Fits-All Diet01:34 – Why Food Sensitivity Tests Fall Short03:32 – Why Gluten Still Matters05:00 – The Problem with Dairy05:58 – Why Avoid Corn and Other Grains06:46 – Refined Sugar and Sweeteners to Limit08:19 – High-Iodine Foods to Be Cautious With09:50 – Gut Health's Role in Autoimmunity10:59 – Alcohol and Herbal Extract Considerations12:13 – Nightshades and Ashwagandha Concerns14:51 – Spinach and Oxalates: Something to Consider15:57 – Foods I Recommend Avoiding Long-Term17:02 – What I Personally Eat and Avoid21:27 – Podcast Outro21:48 – Final Thoughts and TakeawaysMentioned In this Episode: No Grain, No Pain - Dr. Peter OsborneToxic Superfoods, by Sally K.
