Discover how weekend meal shifts—‘eating jet lag'—could be the hidden reason thyroid and menopause weight loss feels impossible.What if the reason you can't lose weight isn't what you eat—but when you eat? In this episode, we dive into the fascinating science of eating jet lag, the weekend habit that throws your body clock off balance and quietly sabotages metabolism, energy, and hormones.We'll explore how shifting meal times can feel like crossing time zones without ever leaving home, and why this matters even more if you're living with hypothyroidism, navigating perimenopause, or managing menopause symptoms.Is eating jet lag the missing link in your weight loss struggles? 

In this episode, we peel back the layers of one of today's most talked-about treatments—GLP-1 receptor agonists—through the enriching lens of integrative medicine.Discover how these revolutionary medications—initially created for type 2 diabetes and now widely used for weight loss—are just one part of a broader, balanced approach to hormonal and metabolic health. We explore:How GLP-1 drugs work: From the science of insulin secretion and appetite control to slowing gastric emptying When they're most transformative: Especially for individuals navigating hormonal imbalances—like hypothyroidism, perimenopause, or menopause The full picture on benefits and challenges: Including metabolic improvements, potential side effects, and the importance of personalized care Why integration matters: Pairing these medications with nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, stress management, and thyroid-focused strategies enhances long-term results 

Are you still dragging through the day with that lingering fatigue, brain fog, or stubborn weight gain—even though you're faithfully taking your thyroid meds? Could the missing piece be T3?In this episode, we dive into the enduring T3 debate: is synthetic levothyroxine (T4) enough, or could adding T3—or going with natural desiccated thyroid (NDT)—be the key to finally feeling like yourself again?We'll explore:How T4-only therapy became the standard—and why it doesn't always deliver reliefWhat groundbreaking research reveals about T4 vs. T4+T3 vs. NDT—including why nearly half of patients prefer NDT, and how a significant number experience symptom relief when T3 is included The science behind hormone conversion—and why not everyone effectively turns T4 into the active T3 their bodies need Real-world challenges: navigating insurance, finding T3-friendly doctors, and mastering safe dosing timing to avoid overstimulation or sleep interference Why listen? If you're managing hypothyroidism and T4 alone isn't cutting it, this episode gives you the insight—and empowerment—you need to talk options with your provider and reclaim your vitality.

Did you know that a "normal" thyroid lab result might not be optimal for you? In this eye-opening episode, we dive into why feeling your best doesn't always line up with being “within range.” Drawing on expert insights, we explore:Why "normal" may fall short: Lab reference ranges are built on averages—not individual well-being. You may feel sluggish or symptomatic even when your numbers appear untouched.What truly "optimal" levels look like for TSH, Free T3, and Free T4 When “normal” labs don't line up with symptoms: We unpack why hypothyroid symptoms can persist—fatigue, cold intolerance, weight gain—even when standard labs don't raise red flags.Taking the next step toward personalized thyroid health: Learn how opting for a full thyroid panel, working with a care team, and factoring in lifestyle can be the game-changer to consistently feeling well—versus accepting “normal” as good enough.Whether you've been told you're “normal” and still don't feel optimal—or you're supporting someone navigating thyroid health—this episode delivers clarity, empowerment, and actionable strategies.

Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT) medications—like Armour Thyroid and NP Thyroid—are derived from pig thyroid glands and are preferred by many hypothyroid patients who haven't found relief with synthetic options like levothyroxine. But as of August 6, 2025, the FDA shocked patients, providers and manufacturers, moving a crucial deadline up from 2029 to August 2026, requiring NDT manufacturers to submit costly Biologics License Applications (BLAs) or potentially face a forced market withdrawal. This shift also restricts compounded NDT and likely bars imports—adding new layers of access and affordability concerns for many, especially those on Medicare or paying cash. Though the FDA's head Dr. Marty Makary has since pledged on X to “ensure access for all Americans,” the window is narrow, and no manufacturer has yet filed a BLA. Join us as we unpack what this means, who's behind these regulatory moves, what patients and advocates are doing about it—and how those of you who rely on NDT can prepare now to protect your treatment options.LEARN MOREYou can learn more about the topic from Paloma: Paloma NDT Article (regularly updated): https://www.palomahealth.com/learn/natural-desiccated-thyroid-drugs Paloma Video Overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWAhxiU-Ehw ➡️➡️Sign the NDT Petition: https://www.change.org/p/save-ndt-protect-women-s-health-and-patient-choice ABOUT PALOMA HEALTH ⁠⁠Paloma Health ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠is an online medical practice focused exclusively on treating hypothyroidism.

Thinking about hormone replacement therapy but unsure what's right for you? In this episode of the Paloma Health podcast, we're diving deep into bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)—a treatment option that's gaining attention for being more aligned with your body's natural chemistry. You'll learn what bioidentical hormones actually are, how they differ from traditional synthetic hormones, and why many experts consider them a gentler and potentially safer alternative.We'll break down the science behind BHRT, focusing on commonly used hormones like estradiol and progesterone that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces. We also explore why the delivery method—especially transdermal options like patches or gels—matters for both effectiveness and safety, potentially reducing the risk of blood clots, heart disease, and breast cancer compared to oral synthetic hormone therapies.But not all BHRT is created equal. This episode also tackles the controversy around compounded bioidentical hormones, which are custom-made by specialty pharmacies but not FDA-approved. We explain the concerns around quality control, dosing consistency, and regulation—while also acknowledging that for some people, compounded formulations may be necessary.If you're navigating perimenopause or menopause, this episode will help you better understand your options. LEARN MOREYou can learn more about how bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in an in-depth article at the Paloma Health blog. https://www.palomahealth.com/learn/is-bioidentical-hrt-safer-more-effective  ABOUT PALOMA HEALTH ⁠⁠Paloma Health ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠is an online medical practice focused exclusively on treating hypothyroidism.

Tariffs are making headlines — and they could soon be hitting closer to home than you think. (We're talking about your medications!)In 2025, proposed tariffs from the Trump administration could drive up the cost and shrink the supply of some of the most commonly used prescription drugs — especially thyroid meds like levothyroxine, liothyronine, and natural desiccated thyroid, hormone replacement therapy for perimenopause and menopause, and even GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide and tirzepatide — and yes, that includes Wegovy and Zepbound and compounded GLPs.What's going on? It all comes down to potential tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals and their ingredients — most of which come from China and India. And generic drugs? They're especially at risk, since they depend heavily on international manufacturing and already run on razor-thin margins.The goal is to boost U.S. drug production, but here's the catch: that shift won't happen overnight. Experts say we could see higher prices and even more shortages before things get better.So… if you rely on thyroid medications, HRT, or GLP-1s, what does this mean for you? And more importantly — what can you do about it?Paloma Health has got you covered! In today's episode, we break it all down — what's happening, what's at stake, and how to stay one step ahead.Need More Information? Check out the Paloma blog and read a full detailed article about the impact of tariffs here, at:Tariffs and Your Medications: What You Need to Knowhttps://www.palomahealth.com/learn/tariffs-medications-thyroid-hrt-glp-1 Video: You can also watch a 5-minute video from Paloma that provides an overview of the issue of how tariffs may affect the Paloma patient community. Paloma Video on Tariffs, YouTube: https://youtu.be/DPzZj5OwkBgAbout Paloma Health⁠⁠Paloma Health ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠is an online medical practice focused exclusively on treating hypothyroidism.

If you're managing hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's disease, you've probably heard about the gut-thyroid connection—but how deep does it really go? In this deep dive episode, we're diving headfirst into the gut-thyroid axis and uncovering why your digestive health plays a massive role in your thyroid function.Spoiler alert: It's not just about digestion! Your gut microbiome influences everything from nutrient absorption (think iodine, selenium, and zinc—key players in thyroid hormone production) to inflammation and autoimmunity. An imbalance in your gut, known as dysbiosis -- or "leaky gut" -- can trigger immune responses that disrupt your thyroid hormone levels. And if you've ever wondered about leaky gut, probiotics, or whether fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut actually help, we're covering all of it.In this episode, we'll break down:✅ How your gut and thyroid work together (and sometimes against each other!)✅ The best gut-friendly foods and probiotics for thyroid health✅ How common meds like antibiotics may be sabotaging your gut (and what to do about it)✅ Testing options to decode your gut microbiome and restore balanceBy the end, you'll have actionable strategies to support both your gut and thyroid—because when these two systems are in harmony, you feel energized, balanced, and thriving. Learn more with these in-depth resources from Paloma Health:Can Antibiotics Affect Your Thyroid Health - https://www.palomahealth.com/learn/antibiotics-and-thyroid-health Gut Microbiota, Hashimoto's, and Hypothyroidism - https://www.palomahealth.com/learn/gut-microbiota-hashimotos-hypothyroidism How To Starve Bad Gut Bacteria For Better Thyroid Health - https://www.palomahealth.com/learn/how-to-starve-bad-gut-bacteria-for-better-thyroid-health Leaky Gut and Hypothyroidism - https://www.palomahealth.com/learn/leaky-gut-and-hypothyroidism Paloma Health Speaker Series: Gut Health - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm1P-rXAz9U Paloma Health Speaker Series: How & Why To Keep Your Gut Microbiome Healthy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktqKWo8_QyI Saccharomyces Boulardii and Hashimoto's Disease - https://www.palomahealth.com/learn/saccharomyces-boulardii-hashimotos-disease The Gastrointestinal Effects of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and Hypothyroidism - https://www.palomahealth.com/learn/gastrointestinal-effects-of-hashimotos-and-hypothyroidism What Is The Gut Microbiome? - https://www.palomahealth.com/learn/what-is-the-gut-microbiome What Is The Thyroid-Gut Axis? - https://www.palomahealth.com/learn/what-is-the-thyroid-gut-axis Why Are Fermented Foods Good for Hypothyroidism? - https://www.palomahealth.com/learn/fermented-foods-hypothyroidism About Paloma Health:⁠⁠Paloma Health⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠is an online medical practice focused exclusively on treating hypothyroidism.
