Episode 25:22 It's Not Your Thyroid… It's This! When is a Thyroid problem, NOT a Thyroid problem? That's a great question. One I answer on this episode. Specifically, I talk about a patient of mine who saw her Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels spiral out of control. However, the problem WASN'T with her Thyroid. Nor was it with her Pituitary gland… the part of the brain that makes TSH. It was somewhere else. Somewhere, and something, that had nothing to do with her Thyroid. In fact, it was something we discovered after looking at some of her OTHER blood tests. Something that anyone who takes Thyroid medication should be aware of.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how two key hormones control metabolism and discuss tools to enhance their levels to improve metabolic health. I discuss the pathways through which the brain and body interact to produce thyroid hormone and growth hormone, and how these hormones influence essential processes like tissue growth and repair, body composition, and energy production. I explain how thyroid hormone levels are influenced by key nutrients, such as iodine, selenium, and L-tyrosine. I also explain how practices such as exercise, sleep, meditation and sauna can offset age-related declines in growth hormone, to optimize overall hormone health and metabolism. Huberman Lab Essentials are short episodes (approximately 30 minutes) focused on essential science and protocol takeaways from past Huberman Lab episodes. Essentials will be released every Thursday, and our full-length episodes will still be released every Monday. Read the full episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

In this episode, we detail the bidirectional relationship between the HPA axis and the intestinal barrier, illustrating how HPA axis dysfunction and cortisol dysregulation can impact intestinal permeability. We further discuss how intestinal dysbiosis can contribute to HPA axis overstimulation. Lastly, we detail some of the roles of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and secretory IgA (sIgA) in this bidirectional relationship.Topics: 1. Overview of the HPA Axis and Gut Bidirectional Relationship- Chronic HPA activation, intestinal permeability, mucosalimmunity, and microbiome composition. 2. Components and Function of the HPA Axis- Hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands. - Stress signals from the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, CRH release from the hypothalamus. - CRH stimulates ACTH release from the pituitary.- Cortisol production and release. 3. Structure of the Intestinal Epithelial Barrier- The gut barrier consists of the intestinal lumen, microbiome, mucus layer, epithelial cells, and lamina propria. - Specialized epithelial cells: goblet cells, enterocytes, enteroendocrine cells, and more.- The lamina propria contains immune cells, blood vessels, and lymphatics, supported by a smooth muscle layer. 4. Intestinal Permeability and Tight Junction Regulation- Transport across the intestinal epithelium: transcellular and paracellular pathways. - Nutrient absorption and selective permeability. - Tight junction proteins, such as occludin and claudins. 5. Cortisol's Impact on Gut Barrier Integrity- Cortisol can cross the intestinal microvascular endothelium and enter the lamina propria. - Chronic cortisol exposure and intestinal barrier function.- Increased permeability allows luminal antigens and bacterial endotoxins (e.g., LPS) to infiltrate the lamina propria. 6. Secretory IgA (sIgA) and Gut Immune Function - Chronic cortisol exposure can reduce sIgA levels, weakening mucosal immunity. - sIgA neutralizes pathogens, prevents microbial adhesion, and more. - Lower sIgA levels increase susceptibility to dysbiosis and infections. 7. CRH and Its Role in Intestinal Permeability- CRH is produced in the hypothalamus and also peripherally.- CRH can stimulate mast cells, triggering histamine and inflammatory mediator release. - Mast cell activation can increase gut permeability. 8. Microbiome's Influence on HPA Axis Regulation- Dysbiosis can disrupt HPA axis function.- IBS and sustained HPA activation.- Dysbiosis reduces SCFA production. - SCFAs, particularly butyrate, support colonocyte health, tight junction integrity, and anti-inflammatory pathways. - Inflammation and HPA axis dysfunction. 9. Root Cause Approach & Closing- Chronic cortisol exposure, CRH signaling, and gut barrier dysfunction. - The microbiome influences stress response and HPA axis activity. - Roles of SCFAs, sIgA, and tight junction proteins.- Addressing gut dysbiosis and GI-derived inflammation can support HPA axis regulation. - Root cause approach.Thank you to our episode sponsors:1.

Episode 2588 - BEST OF: Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino welcome Dr. Cate Shanahan, and they discuss fat loss, controlling hunger, bad fats, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/01/controlling-hunger-dr-cate-episode-2588/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Answering Questions This episode is a BEST OF from 2016, with Dr. Cate Shanahan's early appearance on the podcast. There is no video for this episode. Anna tries an Epic protein bar. (8:00) Vinnie's Twitter following increased after the Carolla show, and people are asking questions. (11:30) Are peanut butter and quinoa NSNG®? Fuck Quinoa. Peanut butter is not the best butter. Cashew and almond butter are better. Peanut is a little higher in carbs and can be inflammatory for some people. Any nut butter should be eaten in moderation. What about diet soft drinks? Diet soft drinks with chemicals are treated by your body just like sugar. Artificial sugar is just as bad as real sugar. La Croix is okay; (soda) water with some fresh lemon or lime, muddled berries, or a splash of grapefruit juice is better. Check out Anna's websites for recipes! For her cauliflower tots, dry the cauliflower before rolling it with other ingredients. Vinnie shares some food ideas. An avocado with some olive oil. Good to slow-cook your chicken to get your broth... yummy! When traveling on a plane, he'll take some cheese and have a hard-boiled egg. Airplane food is generally quite bad. Controlling Hunger Dr. Cate is a board-certified Family Physician and is a nutritional consultant for the LA Lakers. Dr. Cate's website is () She helps those with metabolic syndrome to get their metabolism up and running better. Seed oils, like canola oil, are damaging to your metabolism. (48:00) The process of manufacturing the oils makes them toxic (create oxidative stress). Cate believes low-carb diets are very beneficial, especially for controlling hunger. Try to avoid empty calories, but don't worry about calorie counting. Avoid rapid carb drop-off if you have thyroid problems, etc. She believes in intermittent fasting in moderation IF AND ONLY IF it works for you. (54:00) The concern with some fasting methods is people may create more problems and disordered eating for themselves. It's best to do fasting in moderation or work with a knowledgeable doctor if you have a lot to lose. People are frequently hungry because their metabolisms are damaged by bad diets and lifestyles. Pituitary inflammation can make you hungry. Anna has specific questions about fasting blood sugar and cortisol. (1:05:00). Cate defines “bad fats” vs. natural fats. (1:13:00) It's not just about vanity and weight; it's about health and what processed foods and seed oils do to the body.

Risa August is an Ironman Triathlete and an extraordinary cyclist known and highly respected for her love of pushing her physical limits. Risa is no stranger to intense challenges, having completed 500-mile bike tours and conquered mountains in the US and Nepal. Then, Risa's life comes to a crashing halt. Her body is collapsing, and for good reason. She is diagnosed with a rare pituitary disease, a brain tumour that has been left unchecked for a decade. After undergoing life-threatening brain surgery and trying to live inside a body that can barely function, Risa chooses a different path. She reaches into her bucket list, and against all her doctors' advice; she trains and embarks on a 41-day, 3,000 km bike tour from Canada to Mexico along the Pacific Coast Highway. While the old Risa could have effortlessly conquered such a ride, the new Risa found herself entangled in a body that felt unfamiliar and accompanied by an unwelcome companion, her brain tumour she named Bubba. Pedalling through rain, physical pain, and the haunting echoes of her memories, Risa confronts a challenge unlike any other. Risa questions whether the woman she once was and knew would ever resurface or if this is the person she was destined to become. An extraordinary story of recovery, resilience, renovation and reinvention to begin your New Year. To reach Risa August: https://www.risaaugust.com

In this episode Dr. Rebecca explores the interconnected nature of thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormones, especially during perimenopause and menopause. Way too often the medical system ignores women's pain and sypmtoms often prescibing pills or recomennding surgery without getting to the root cause. She empowers women by discussing: what enopause is (and is not), teaches what is actually going on with hormones during this transtion, why so many women feel bad, how thyroid hormones and sex hormones are conected and more... Her message inspires hope and wants all women to know their bodies are incredible and built to heal if given the proper support. NEXT STEPS: - Ready to work with me? DOORS ARE OPEN!

Shortcut to my thyroid program. The Case: Lucy was experiencing symptoms that went back and forth She would experience heart palpitations, hot flashes, and anxiety and then she'd have periods of fatigue Her doctor suspected hyperthyroidism and tested her for Graves I knew that there was reason to investigate further because her symptoms weren't adding up. When it comes to hyperthyroidism, there's one person I often turn to - Dr. Eric Osansky, a chiropractor and host of the ‘Save My Thyroid' podcast. His interest in hyperthyroidism comes from his personal Graves diagnosis in 2008. He is also the author of 2 thyroid books, ‘Natural Solutions for Hypothyroidism and Graves' Disease' and ‘Hashimoto's Triggers: Eliminate Your Thyroid Symptoms by Finding and Removing Your Triggers' On this show, we talk a lot about hypothyroidism and how Hashimoto's can be at play. Many don't think that Hashimoto's can also be present when someone has an overactive thyroid (Hyperthyroidism and sometimes Graves' Disease). It all starts by looking at and understanding TSH levels. Reviewing the Basics of Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) The thyroid gland is a critical component of our endocrine system, responsible for regulating our metabolism. When it comes to thyroid assessments, most practitioners start by examining the Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH). Dr. Osansky explained that TSH stands for "Thyroid Stimulation-Communicating Hormone" and is produced by the pituitary gland. This hormone plays a vital role in communicating with the thyroid and serves as a fundamental element of many thyroid evaluations. When it comes to hypothyroidism, including conditions like Hashimoto's, you'll often see elevated TSH levels. This is because the thyroid hormone in the body is on the lower side. It might be just within the lab's reference range, or it could be overtly low. In response, the pituitary gland sends a clear signal to the thyroid: "We need more thyroid hormone!" This signal takes the form of an increased TSH level, prompting the thyroid gland to produce more thyroid hormone. Conversely, in the case of hyperthyroidism, it's the complete opposite. With hyperthyroidism, there's an excess of thyroid hormone circulating in the bloodstream, mainly bound to proteins. In this scenario, the pituitary gland signals the thyroid to slow down production. As a result, you'll commonly observe not only low TSH but sometimes an undetectable TSH, especially in conditions like Graves' disease. This undetectable TSH indicates that the pituitary is working hard to halt the overproduction of thyroid hormone. So, while TSH levels can provide valuable insights, they're just one piece of the puzzle. We need to dig deeper into the thyroid hormones to get the full picture. Comprehensive Thyroid Testing is Always Key According to Dr. Eric, to reach a proper diagnosis, we must also examine the thyroid hormones, particularly free T3 and free T4. These free hormones offer a more accurate representation of thyroid function. In hyperthyroidism, where the thyroid hormones are typically elevated, examining free T3 and free T4 alone is often sufficient because total hormones will also be elevated. On the other hand, in hypothyroidism, some practitioners prefer to assess not only free hormones but also total hormones to gauge production since a significant portion of thyroid hormone is bound to proteins. Let's not forget reverse T3, an inactive form of T3. It's a bit of a controversial character in the thyroid world. Some suggest that reverse T3 may act as a blocking agent, especially in hyperthyroidism. Elevated reverse T3 levels are common in this condition, further hinting at its role in dampening excessive thyroid hormone activity. But the thyroid's complexity doesn't end here. We also need to consider antibodies, which play a crucial role in autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's. Plus, keep in mind that it's not just the thyroid at play; the pituitary gland could be throwing a wrench in the works too. Pituitary issues, such as a pituitary adenoma, can also affect TSH levels and the overall thyroid regulation. So, always remember that a comprehensive view is essential when evaluating thyroid health. What is Hashi-Toxicosis? Hashi-toxicosis is a fascinating term that combines "Hashimoto's" and "toxicosis." It essentially refers to Hashimoto's thyroiditis with intermittent episodes of hyperthyroidism. When someone has Hashimoto's, the autoimmune attack damages the thyroid gland, causing it to release excessive thyroid hormone into the bloodstream. Consequently, when you get a blood test during such an episode, it can appear as hyperthyroidism. However, it's different from Graves' disease, where specific antibodies continuously stimulate the thyroid gland. In Hashi-toxicosis, these episodes of hyperthyroidism are transient, meaning they come and go. The duration varies from person to person, some experiencing these episodes for a few hours, while others may have them for a few days. These fluctuations can be triggered by various factors. For some, hormonal changes, like those related to the menstrual cycle or stressful events, can lead to these episodes. It's important to note that the frequency of these flares varies among individuals. Some may experience them frequently, while others only encounter them occasionally. In my own journey, I've had a couple of Hashi-toxicosis flares, both linked to high-stress events – one after moving and the other postpartum. These personal experiences have taught me that hormonal changes can significantly influence the frequency of these episodes. For those who face occasional flares, it can be a bewildering experience. When I had my first episode, nearly two decades ago, it looked a lot like Lucy's situation. The doctor ran tests during a flare, and my thyroid hormone levels were off the charts. Not just my TSH, but all my thyroid hormones were elevated, which was rather unusual. The doctor even suggested the possibility of thyroid removal. Thankfully, my knowledge about Hashimoto's helped me question this recommendation, as I knew there was more to the story than met the eye. Get Curious About Unusual Thyroid Results It's absolutely crucial to explore all the possibilities when dealing with thyroid issues and stop the attack on our thyroid gland. Now, consider a scenario where someone, like Lucy, has a low TSH and elevated hormone levels. If it's not clear whether this is a transient episode, it's essential to retest and, most importantly, assess the antibodies. But what if the antibodies turn out to be negative, including TSI? What else could be behind these hyperthyroid symptoms and unusual lab results? Dr. Osasnsky introduced the possibility of subacute thyroiditis. This condition often arises from viral infections, such as cytomegalovirus or even, more recently, the effects of COVID. It triggers significant inflammation in the thyroid, resulting in excess thyroid hormone production. Strangely, the presentation mirrors Graves' disease, yet the antibodies are absent. However, in most cases, within two to four months, this hyper phase shifts to a hypo state, and often, the hypothyroidism is temporary, eventually returning to a normal thyroid balance. One more thing to consider is medication. For example, if someone is taking a high amount of natural or synthetic thyroid, (whether it's levothyroxine or desiccated thyroid hormone) it can cause too much thyroid hormone. Nodules on the Thyroid and What They Mean In the world of thyroid health, nodules are a hot topic, and I get a lot of questions about them. One common query is, "Can nodules ever cause hypothyroidism?" Dr. Osansky, explains that nodules typically don't lead to hypothyroidism directly. In fact, most of the time, they don't cause either hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. However, there's a bit of a gray area. In some cases, people with larger nodules, especially those over two centimeters, might experience changes in their TSH levels. Sometimes you'll see a depressed TSH with multinodular goiter, but the thyroid hormone levels will appear normal. So it's not exactly the nodules themselves causing hypothyroidism; it's more like a subtle alteration in the thyroid function. Of course, it's essential to consider that the interpretation can vary among healthcare professionals. Thyroid lab ranges can be quite wide, and what's considered "normal" in conventional medicine may not align with optimal thyroid health. It's always a good idea to work with a practitioner who understands the nuances of thyroid function. Nodules are surprisingly common, especially as we get older. About 50% of people over 50 have nodules, and the percentage increases with age. While you can't always completely prevent nodules, there are some factors to consider. Hormone imbalances, particularly issues with estrogen metabolism, can contribute to nodule development. So addressing this aspect can be essential. Tests like the Dutch test can help evaluate estrogen metabolites, and you may need to consult a healthcare provider knowledgeable in thyroid health for this. Insulin resistance can also play a role, and keeping an eye on your hemoglobin A1C and fasting insulin levels can be informative. Iodine is another element that can be both a cause and a potential remedy for nodules. It's a bit of a gray area, and the research isn't entirely clear. However, it's wise to be cautious with iodine supplements, as they can worsen nodules in some cases. There are some self-care practices like castor oil packs that some people swear by, although there's limited scientific evidence. Ultimately, it's a good idea to monitor nodules with follow-up ultrasounds. If you find that they're not growing or, even better, shrinking, then you're on the right track. But always consult with a healthcare provider who understands thyroid health to guide you on the best approach for your specific situation. Treatment Approaches and Medications for Hyperthyroidism Managing hyperthyroidism often involves a multi-pronged approach. Dr. Osansky pointed out that treatment can include medications like anti-thyroid drugs, radioactive iodine therapy, or even surgery in more severe cases. The choice of treatment depends on the individual's unique situation and the underlying cause of their hyperthyroidism. And, a holistic approach is key especially if treating the thyroid (and getting levels back into optimal range) doesn't cure the symptoms, other factors need to be explored. Mystery Solved - Lucy's Case In order to get more info on Lucy's case, we did a few rounds of blood work so that we could really track what was happening. The tests showed low TSH and high thyroid hormones (generally interpreted as a hyper state). However, tests a few weeks later told a different story ; TSH was high and thyroid hormones were low. This swing left her feeling tired. We tested for antibodies and found she was positive for Hashimoto's but not for Graves'. We determined that the high TSH was likely due to a Hashimoto's flare up - and that these flare ups were frequent which explained why she could go from feeling very high energy to fatigue within days. Next Steps We needed to calm down her immune upregulation. We initiated an immune calming protocol and started to address her triggers. We discovered that she had a few infections that were adding to her triggers including H Pylori, SIBO, EBV. This was in addition to the other triggers that we all face including issues with her diet, environment, and stress. We all have different triggers so it's important to determine your unique triggers - this is something I work through in my thyroid program. Happy Ending After 3 months of immune balancing nutrients and trigger support, Lucy noticed so much more balance. Her antibodies dropped and her TSH stabilized and she was no longer getting those up and down swings. Eliminating Health Mysteries For Lucy, we were able to find that missing piece of the health puzzle and help her regain her health. Could this be the missing clue for you or someone in your life?

Welcome into THE PICKLE JAR. Ronda's journey with secondary adrenal insufficiency sounds all too familiar. A journey that starts in college with unusual symptoms that eventually leads to the discovery of a large pituitary tumour. Cushing disease was diagnosed years later. Unsuccessful surgery then radiation and eventually the slow death of the pituitary gland led Ronda to a life living with secondary adrenal insufficiency. She was told she would just 'need a little pill' to manage her AI but its progression left her bedridden and unable to work. She had a knowledgeable medical team but they were uneducated in the treatment of adrenal insufficiency. Through social media, she became aware of people with AI using the infusion pump for treatment. With a lack of hormonal support from her pituitary and adrenal glands, she searched for an endocrinologist who would assist her with further treatment. Prior to the pandemic, her journey led her to find an endocrinologist with experience with AI and infusion pump treatment. Together with a tag team of endocrinologists, they start putting her 'puzzle' of hormones back together. She has been using the infusion pump for over 3 years and is gaining herself back physically and emotionally. Her quality of life has improved. She has a positive outlook for her future. Ronda reminds us of the importance of self-advocacy, to have boundaries and that we need to keep looking ahead with our AI to improve our quality of life and prevent a crisis.

Many people in my audience are interested in adrenal health because steroid exposure is a common issue for many (especially those who end up with HPA axis dysfunction because of the steroids). So, I brought in a very popular expert... on thyroid health. Wait, what's the connection between your thyroid and adrenals? Most people who have thyroid issues end up having some form of adrenal dysfunction. So today, she's giving tips on what to do if you actually have adrenal dysfunction and how you can take back your health. My guest today is the compassionate, innovative, and solution-focused integrative pharmacist, Dr. Izabella Wentz. Dedicated to finding the root causes of chronic health conditions, her passion stems from her own diagnosis with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2009, following a decade of debilitating symptoms. As an accomplished author, Dr. Wentz has written several best-selling books, including the New York Times bestseller Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause, the protocol-based #1 New York Times bestseller Hashimoto's Protocol: A 90-Day Plan for Reversing Thyroid Symptoms and Getting Your Life Back, and the Wall Street Journal bestseller Hashimoto's Food Pharmacology: Nutrition Protocols and Healing Recipes to Take Charge of Your Thyroid Health. Her latest book, Adrenal Transformation Protocol, is set to be released on April 18th, 2023. The book focuses on resetting the body's stress response through targeted safety signals and features a 4-week program that has already helped over 3,500 individuals. The program has an impressive success rate, with over 80% of participants improving their brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, irritability, sleep issues, and libido. Do you have symptoms of adrenal fatigue? If so, what are you doing about it? Let me know in the comments below! In this episode: What is adrenal fatigue (and is it even real)? The feedback loop between your thyroid + adrenals (hello, cortisol!) Why chronic or unprocessed stress (including unresolved trauma) is a very crucial part of the puzzle Dr. Wentz's helpful tips to get better sleep to regulate the circadian rhythm Pituitary suppression from the use of hydrocortisone (as seen in TSW) from a pharmacist perspective Why cholesterol is IMPORTANT! Quotes "As the stress progresses and whenever we have low levels of cortisol that are too low, this can also be a signal to the body to make more reverse T3 and to slow down the thyroid gland because thyroid hormone breaks down cortisol." [06:31] "I joke about positive affirmations are amazing, but they're like putting a Band-Aid over a leaky fishbowl if you're not working on trauma."

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Bettina: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for providing such great information in an easy to understand way. What are your thought on a woman getting pregnant at 42 years old? Is there anything a woman at this age should be sure to do, eat or take if pregnant or trying to get pregnant at this age? Is it too big a toll on the body at this age? Thank you for any advice and information you can provide. Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral. Thank you once again for all the information you provide. Just listening to the mindpump podcast you mentioned. You mention cyst on the pituitary gland. Could you speak more about this; the consequense and what can be done to remove it or make its consequences less. Thanks you for any help and suggestion you share Darren: Good day Dr Cabral. Hope all is well with and the family. I know you say to avoid liquids with meals unless it's like a hot ginger tea or something. Given the protein and caloric content some consider as “meals”. Just asking is it okay to have a smoothie at the same time with a solid breakfast or lunch or hould we separate the time we have that. Even if post workout etc. Thanks for all you do. Lynette: Hi Dr Cabral I am recovering from breast cancer and am at the stage where I need to heal my gut issues. Do you have any gut healing tips WITHOUT the use of zinc and glutamine etc. These 2 supplements (along with excess copper, iron, protein and B1 and B2) are not recommended to cancer survivors. I love your podcasts, thank you for all you do. Regards Lynette (Australia) Anonymous: Hello! I'm a relatively new listener and love listening to your podcasts and learning ways to heal myself and my loved ones, Thank you! My mom had lung cancer 6 years ago and has radiation damage to her lungs and COPD. She has had CAT scans every 6 months for the last six years and her most recent one showed an increase in fluid. Her oncologist put in an order to have the fluid drained and said there is nothing she can do on her own to help the fluid drain on it's own. She has been drinking Muellin Tea daily for the last 3 years or so. Is there anything else she can do or take to help the lung from retaining this fluid and/or repair the radiation damage? I searched the podcasts but could not find anything besides Muellin. I understand, no medical diagnosis or cures just would like to know what you would do for your family/patients. I also have another question. Should someone that showed high markers of Candida stay clear of red yeast rice for help with cholesterol? And is that the case for other forms of yeast as well? Thank you for all you do. Tammy: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you so much for the research and knowledge you bring to the world! I am a 50 year old heathy female. My only issue is a have a n oder that my husband says comes from my nose. I don't think i can smell or taste like normal. I do sinus cleanses every day. I have tried your sinus support but nothing seems to help. What could be causing this and is there a natural way to help with this? Thank you so much!
