Have you been told your thyroid labs look "normal," yet you're still struggling with fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, or sluggish digestion? The problem might not be your TSH or T4—it could be Reverse T3 blocking your thyroid healing. In this episode, we explain the hidden role of Reverse T3 in slowing metabolism and preventing active T3 from doing its job.You will learn why Reverse T3 rises, how stress, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental toxins can trigger it, and why most conventional thyroid panels miss this critical marker. High Reverse T3 can mimic hypothyroid symptoms, even when your TSH and T4 levels appear normal, leaving you feeling exhausted, foggy, and stuck in survival mode.Most importantly, we share actionable steps to lower Reverse T3 naturally, including diet, stress management, proper testing, and functional medicine strategies to rebalance your thyroid. If you're tired of feeling unwell despite “normal” lab results, this episode is a must-listen. Take control of your thyroid health and start feeling like yourself again!DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast and related website is not intended to be a substitute for medical advice.

I am so excited to bring you my friend and colleague Paul Robinson in this podcast episode to discuss the many problems with the current ways we treat and test for low thyroid or hypothyroidism. Paul also shared some of his story with us and how being undertreated for hypothyroidism basically destroyed his life. We also got into the specifics of T4, T3 and Reverse T3 to hopefully help you understand and take more control of your thyroid and health issues. And what do you do if your doctor won't help you. Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback in the comments. Paul Robinson became ill with hypothyroidism in his late twenties. Over the next thirty-plus years, Paul accumulated a wealth of knowledge on thyroid and adrenal dysfunction. His scientific background enabled him to fight through the morass of misinformation and recover his health, and help many many others. At first, Paul was put on the most common thyroid treatment - Levothyroxine (also known as Synthroid or T4). However, the majority of his symptoms remained, much like they do for many on T4-therapy. Over time he became even more ill, with both low cortisol and low thyroid symptoms. This then spurred Paul to put everything he learned on paper - writing his 3 books. Paul wrote 'The CT3M Handbook' as a companion book to 'Recovering with T3' to explain more about raising cortisol levels if needed. And Paul wrote his third book ‘The Thyroid Patient's Manual'. This book covers all types of thyroid medications (T4, T4/T3, NDT, and T3).

Trust me, Sarah takes us on a journey through the liver's many roles – from detoxification to hormone conversion to fat storage and beyond.

It's high time we take a closer look at Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT) medication. I'm going to give you what you need to hear on why NDT medications such as Armour or NP Thyroid might not always be the stellar solution they're touted to be. In this deep dive episode, I'll uncover how NDT, while having the valuable combination of T4 and T3, may not be the magic bullet for everyone. Could it be doing more harm than good for you? I'll give you the pitfalls of NDT medications that might be keeping you sluggish, constipated, and feeling far from your optimized self. This journey into understanding thyroid treatments will be an eye opener for you. "Natural" may not be as natural as you think. Learn why simply increasing your NDT dosage isn't always the answer especially if your body struggles with converting T4 to T3 or if you're continuing to push up your Reverse T3. This episode is packed with essential information and questions to guide you as you seek the right thyroid treatment for YOU! Whether it's about potential reactions to fillers found in NDT or fine-tuning your medication mix, I'm here to guide you through decoding your symptoms and finding the precise path to your badass optimized self.

A hypothyroid diagnosis can feel like a death sentence to your weight loss goals... We're going to get a little nerdy today and talk about some intermediate to advanced physiology and thyroid health topics but don't be intimated especially if you suspect you have a thyroid issue or can't seem to lose weight no matter how many calories you slash. First, your thyroid gland is your master metabolism regulator. What is hypothyroidism? An underactive thyroid. The thyroid gland doesnt produce enough thyroid hormone. Some common symptoms include: Chronic fatigue, Puffy face, Always feeling cold, Unexplained weight gain, Constipation, Muscle weakness or cramps, Hair loss/hair won't grow, Dry skin, Depression, and poor concentration. The problem is that most doctors only check TSH and diagnose off of that, but it can be prevented by checking a full thyroid panel! A Full thyroid panel would be checking these specific markers: TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, TPO/TgA antibodies, and sometimes will also check iron. We'll dive into why these markers are important to check and what to do after you're armed with this knowledge!

In this episode I'm sharing my recent lab test, 23 lab tests in menopause, to be exact. I'll share why so many, how often, what I'll learn from them. If you're at a loss for what to order or really, what you need and want a doctor to run this will help. Connecting the dots is not always easy! Though I ran almost all of these as a part of writing You Still Got It, Girl! Almost a decade ago, by ordering self-directed labs and doing the research to interpret them and take actions to either follow up with a physician or to consider dietary, exercise, and natural solutions that would improve results, I recommend you utilize a physician who's willing to and not threatened by your desire to learn more about the what, why and when for these tests. You know how you feel and what's right for you. Hopefully you're not settling for less than feeling great. Signs that you're not doing okay, in spite of your efforts include unexplained weight gain, inability to lose it, feeling lethargic/tired either on a regular basis or after exercise. Add to that insomnia, dizziness, brain fog, gut issues, and so many more. Having a basic understanding of the tests, that often are not ordered by Western trained docs, and why you want them, may help you be a detective and an advocate for your own health. Recent Lab Tests in Menopause Fasting Glucose Fasting levels above 125 are indicative of diabetes. Those 100-125 indicate prediabetes. Knowing this is helpful for monitoring your habits. A continuous blood glucose monitor can be a fantastic tool for you. https://www.flippingfifty.com/myglucose Fasting Insulin Metabolism issues or weight loss resistance are good reasons to check fasting insulin (beyond just fasting glucose). Insulin resistance can promote additional weight gain. A1C This number can indicate how well controlled sugar levels have been over the past 3 months and also can indicate a prediabetic or diabetic condition. Serum Ferritin Reliable indicator of body's iron stores. Low or very high ferritin may have a condition that results in fatigue. Vitamin D 25-Hydroxy This is important for energy and gaining muscle, particularly fast twitch muscle, as well as energy. Falling into “norms” is under optimal levels so this one can be important for women in midlife and beyond to know. Uric acid Optimal levels may support antioxidant activity but too high can be linked to oxidative stress. Vitamin A Concentrations of uric acid and vitamin A are closely associated. This test may be used to indicate a reason why uric acid levels are high. CRP A major marker of inflammation. Risk of disease increases significantly with high CRP. A Fasting Lipid Panel Looking at cholesterol, LDL, HDL and the total/HDL ratio can tell you what's happening in your body. It might be genetic, lifestyle or also occurring during menopause as the body generates more cholesterol to attempt to produce hormones. Free Testosterone This is the testosterone immediately available. Can support weight loss and improve memory and strength. Testosterone Elevated testosterone can lead to hair growth, acne, moodiness. But too low can lead to difficulty gaining muscle and bone density. DHEA-S Your precursor to the sex hormones and also an indicator of adrenal function. Variety of Lab Tests in Menopause Estradiol Check for optimal levels for some women, confirming they're in menopause and for others like me doing hormone replacement, that hormone levels are optimized. Estrone The estrogen product after menopause. Progesterone Can lower post menopause and make sleep and relaxing harder. Thyroid Hormone Tests TSH Released by your brain to signal your thyroid gland. It can be used to monitor dosing of your thyroid medication or as a screening test for the presence of thyroid disease. Free T4 The thyroid makes predominately T4. Free T4 is what your body uses to make the active thyroid hormone called free T3. These are advanced biomarker tests, not routinely done, but very helpful to determine if the thyroid can be affecting how you feel. Free T3 Symptoms (constipation, weight gain, tiredness, low libido) of low thyroid may be missed (passed off as normal or something else) unless the active thyroid hormone (free T3) is measured. High levels may indicate hyperthyroidism. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism include fatigue, anxiety, sudden weight loss, rapid heartbeat, irritability, more frequent bowel movements, difficulty sleeping, sweating and tremors. Free T3 is an advanced screening biomarker that helps screen routinely missed thyroid issues. TPA (Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies) Thyroid disease has become very common and we can often pick up inflammation in the thyroid years before the thyroid fails. This is important because natural interventions may help reverse the inflammation of the thyroid gland. TA (Thyroglobulin Antibodies) This test can be positive in people with inflammation of the thyroid gland, and it can be seen years before complete thyroid failure – giving you time to take action! Reverse T 3 Reverse T3 is the storage form of the active thyroid hormone. Many conditions can cause you to store thyroid instead of use it as active free T3. If your reverse T3 is high then you may need to address the reasons why. Broader Selection of Lab Tests in Menopause **FSH (**Follicle-stimulating hormone) Levels of this hormone indicate phases of hormones including puberty, reproduction and menopause. Levels rise significantly after menopause. ****This test can be helpful for someone who isn't sure what's happening or wants to confirm levels are dropping. **SHBG **(**Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) SHBG is used to keep excessive free estrogen out of the blood stream, looking at these levels can help identify if hormone control health habits can improve your overall health. Sex hormone binding globulin is a protein mainly produced by the liver, and studies show that diets high in simple sugars cause the liver to produce less SHBG. Low levels of SHBG are seen in obesity, prediabetes, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Other Tests Total Cortisol Early morning cortisol screen for adrenal gland function. 4 Sample Saliva Test Measures throughout the day to get a more accurate picture of your stress hormone pattern. ACTH Stimulation Test Administered by a physician to test response Omega 3 and 3/6 Index For muscle and joint aches and pains, and brain health, knowing your omega 3 and 6 index can help you improve overall health and decrease inflammation. Food Sensitivity Testing Depending on which level of comprehensive test you do, you can test for 90 common food sensitivities (or more) and learn what is low, moderate, and highly sensitive for you. Avoiding moderate and higher food sensitivities for 3 months while also taking extra care of your gut can help reduce symptoms of gas, bloating, or other digestive issues stemming from leaky gut situation. Adding probiotics, glutamine, oregano oil and foods known to support gut bacteria can all help improve the gut before attempting to reintroduce. GI-Map For gut issues that aren't resolved with dietary changes, scores will tell you your gut bacteria levels and which may be out of balance so you can choose very specific probiotics to help rebalance, as you avoid foods that show moderate and high on your sensitivity results.

[09:20] Karen's Menopausal Odyssey: A Rapid Onset, Unusual Timeline, and the Role of Thyroid Medication - Karen experienced a sudden and intense onset of menopausal symptoms within a six-month period. This included a significant increase in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to menopausal levels, a drop in estrogen and progesterone, as well as other symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain in the stomach area, itchy skin, and breast tenderness. - Her experience of going through menopause deviated from the typical timeline. Instead of the gradual progression over 10 years of perimenopause followed by a couple of years of more intense symptoms, Karen's symptoms intensified rapidly, leading to a quicker transition into menopause. - Karen discovered that the thyroid medication she was taking played a role in exacerbating her hormonal imbalance. - Luckily, Karen successfully reversed some of the adverse effects of early menopause by implementing changes in her lifestyle and incorporating hormone replacement therapy. [15:20] Dietary Challenges and Hormonal Harmony - Karen observed issues arising from a prolonged and intense adherence to hardcore keto diets among her clients, as well as in her own experience. Problems included menstrual irregularities, hair loss, and weight regain. Individuals were resorting to more extreme measures like extended fasting and carnivore diets in an attempt to address these challenges. - Initially, the hardcore keto approach appeared to yield positive results, with clients experiencing improved energy levels, weight loss, and relief from menopausal symptoms. However, over the long term, these benefits diminished, prompting Karen to investigate the impact on the thyroid and other hormonal systems. - Karen emphasizes the importance of understanding the body's response to dietary signals, particularly in the context of signaling abundance or scarcity. - Karen advocates for the Keto Flex approach, incorporating carbohydrate intake a few days a week to signal abundance and support reproductive functions. [21:35] Optimizing Protein Intake: Recommendations for Weightlifters and Non-Lifters, Daily Distribution, and Whole-Food Emphasis - Karen suggests adjusting protein intake based on whether an individual engages in weightlifting. For those not lifting weights, she recommends a slightly lower protein intake, around 0.5 to 0.8 grams per pound of body weight. - However, for those involved in weightlifting, she recommends aiming for the standard guideline of 1 gram per pound of ideal body weight. - Karen emphasizes the importance of distributing protein intake throughout the day. Ideally, individuals should aim for 30 to 35 grams of protein per meal. - While acknowledging that many women may need to supplement their protein intake with shakes or essential amino acids, Karen emphasizes the preference for obtaining protein from whole food sources rather than relying solely on supplements. [23:05] Navigating Hormonal Health: Baseline Assessment, Sensitivity Variations, and Proactive Intervention in Perimenopause - Karen emphasizes the importance of getting a baseline of hormones, especially during the fertile years in one's 30s. - Different individuals have varying sensitivities to hormones, and what is considered normal or within the range may differ from person to person. - Perimenopause typically begins between the ages of 35 and 40, marked by a decline in progesterone due to less frequent ovulation. Karen advises paying attention to subtle signs, such as weight gain, worsening periods, insomnia, or other symptoms emerging in the late 30s. Proactive intervention during this phase is recommended. - Waiting until significant symptoms manifest may complicate treatment. Unfortunately, Karen notes that many doctors may be reluctant to address hormonal issues until a woman is in menopause, and finding a doctor willing to provide appropriate treatment with bioidentical hormones can be challenging. [37:05] Reverse T3, Testing Challenges, and the Impact of Heavy Metal Toxicity - Karen stresses the importance of testing for reverse T3, a thyroid hormone that is often overlooked by doctors. - She notes that obtaining reverse T3 testing can be challenging in some regions, such as Canada, where it may need to be sent to a lab in California. Doctors may not routinely order this test, so individuals are encouraged to advocate for their health by requesting and even paying for the test themselves. - Karen explains that a crucial aspect of thyroid health is the relationship between free T4 and free T3. - Lastly, Karen shares her personal experience of heavy metal toxicity affecting her thyroid health. [42:55] Proactive Hormonal Health: Early Intervention, Supplements, and the Role of Hormone Replacement in Preventing Decline-Related Diseases - Karen emphasizes the importance of addressing hormonal imbalances proactively and early, especially before the onset of severe symptoms. - Hormones play a crucial role beyond reproduction, influencing the function of organs throughout the body. - Catching hormonal imbalances early can prevent the development of diseases associated with hormonal decline. - During the late 30s and early 40s, when ovarian function starts to decline, Karen recommends certain supplements and lifestyle changes to support hormone production for a longer duration. - Karen highlights that replacing hormones becomes a crucial option when natural hormone production declines.

The Thyroid Mystery: Unraveling the Secrets of Reverse T3https://www.drhughwegwerth.com/What's Slowing You Down? The Role of Reverse T3!Hey listeners! Ever heard about reverse T3 and its connection to the thyroid? Well, today we're diving deep into this!
One of the more common issues I hear from my patients is one I have also dealt with - hair loss, thinning, and breakage. Throughout my nearly 20 years of experience helping people with thyroid and Hashimoto's, I've noticed that along with fatigue, brain fog, and weight gain, hair problems are a common occurrence. In the latest episode, I shed some light on the top reasons for hair loss. But, don't worry, I also share practical solutions to bring life back to your locks. Here are the top 5 most common causes of hair issues: Thyroid and Hashimoto's Nutritional Deficiencies Stress Hormonal Shifts PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) Let's dive a little deeper into each one and look at ways you can support hair health for each of these root causes (pun intended!) Hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's, and Hair Woes The thyroid plays a significant role in our overall well-being, including our hair health. Hypothyroidism, where your body produces insufficient thyroid hormone, and Hashimoto's, an autoimmune disease that mistakenly attacks the thyroid, often lead to hair shedding, thinning, and brittleness. To address these issues, it's vital to take a comprehensive approach. This starts with a thorough understanding of your thyroid status - you have to know your numbers! And, you have to know all of them. Many doctors will only test TSH but that won't give you the full picture. A full thyroid panel is essential. This includes TSH, Total T4, Total T3, Free T4, Free T3, T3 Uptake, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies. A thorough evaluation will help identify any imbalances, especially if Hashimoto's is the underlying cause. And, these results will also help you understand your thyroid type. Once you know where your thyroid stands, it's time to support it effectively. A personalized approach to thyroid health, combined with measures to calm the immune system, can slow down or halt the attack on the thyroid by Hashimoto's. A well-rounded strategy is key to combating hair issues. Take Control of Your Thyroid Health All too often, I meet with patients who only half understand their thyroid status because their doctor is only giving them half the story. That is why I created a free Hashimoto's training to help you determine your thyroid type and support it with a two-fold approach. In this workshop, I help you navigate your way to the full picture so you can advocate for yourself and your health. Sign up here. Gut Health and Hair Loss The gut is a powerful player in our overall health, and that includes our hair health. What many people don't realize is that thyroid health impacts gut health because when your thyroid is off, it can slow down gut transit time, leading to constipation and impaired nutrient absorption. Additionally, leaky gut, where the intestinal lining becomes permeable, can further exacerbate hair problems by allowing unwanted particles into the bloodstream. Balancing thyroid health and gut health goes hand in hand. And, when your gut is healthier, your hair is healthier. Nutrition and Hair Loss Even when the gut is healthy, hypothyroidism can still lead to poor nutrient absorption. When thyroid hormone levels are inadequate, the hair follicles may not receive the necessary nutrients for proper growth and maintenance. As a result, hair can become dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. Key nutrients essential for healthy hair include iron, zinc, and B12. Iron is crucial for oxygen transport and is necessary for healthy hair growth. A deficiency in iron can lead to hair loss and thinning. Zinc also plays a vital role in hair health, as it helps with tissue growth and repair, including hair follicles. Additionally, B12 supports the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to the hair follicles. To address nutrient deficiencies, consider adding supplements like Ferrochel Iron, liquid B12 such as the Methyl B Complex from Quick Silver Scientific, or the B12 ND from Premier Research Labs. For a zinc deficiency, you could try adding Reacted Zinc to your daily routine. However, it's essential to note that addressing nutrient deficiencies goes beyond supplementation. Ensuring proper digestion and absorption of these nutrients is equally vital. Iron-rich foods, a balanced diet, and a well-functioning gut play crucial roles in maintaining healthy hair and overall well-being. Thinning Hair Caused by Stress Stress has a significant impact on our body, including hair health. Whether it's emotional stress or physical stress from illness or inflammation, the body's response can lead to hair problems. Cortisol, known as the stress hormone, can play a role in hair loss, specifically a condition called telogen effluvium. In this condition, the hair follicles enter a resting phase, leading to increased shedding and hair loss. Managing stress is essential for maintaining healthy hair and overall health. Incorporating stress-reducing techniques into your daily routine can make a significant difference. Mindfulness practices, meditation, acupuncture, and hypnosis are valuable tools for reducing stress levels. If you missed our episodes on hypnosis, be sure to go back and check out episodes 139 and 140. Additionally, phosphatidylserine (I recommend PS 150), a supplement that helps lower cortisol levels, can promote better sleep quality and a calmer state of mind. Hormonal Shifts and Hair Loss Hormonal shifts, particularly those experienced during perimenopause and menopause, can influence hair health. As estrogen levels decrease, many women experience hair thinning, texture changes, and sometimes even hair loss. These hormonal imbalances can exacerbate existing thyroid-related symptoms, making it a challenging time for those with Hashimoto's. Addressing hormonal shifts often involves balancing hormone levels and supporting the body during this transition. Bio-identical hormones and hormone-balancing supplements can help alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being. However, it's essential to make well-informed decisions about hormone replacement therapy and consult with healthcare professionals. Stay tuned and subscribe for more on this in upcoming episodes. Cause of Hair Loss #5, PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) For those with PCOS, hair issues are commonly linked to hormonal imbalances, particularly high testosterone and estrogen levels. PCOS is also associated with issues related to blood sugar regulation. Balancing hormones and blood sugar levels are essential components of managing PCOS-related hair problems. One of my favorite supplements for supporting PCOS is Sensitol by Designs for Health. A balanced diet and avoiding dairy may also help with symptoms of PCOS. Natural Topical Solutions for Improved Hair Health Incorporating natural oils like Homa, Amla, or Argan for hair oiling can help combat dryness and brittleness. Hair oiling is a beneficial practice where natural oils are applied to the hair and left for an extended period before shampooing. This can nourish the hair and promote overall hair health. Choosing hair care products wisely is also crucial for maintaining healthy hair. Avoid chemical hair dyes, as they can harm the hair follicles and leach into your body. Instead, opt for natural hair dye alternatives (learn more about what I use in episodes 121 and 142). Topical serums with essential oils like rosemary or basil can promote hair growth and rejuvenate hair follicles. Positive Mindset and Good Hair Mindset is a powerful tool for addressing hair issues and overall health. Visualizing your desired outcome and focusing on positive thoughts can influence your body's response. Remember, your body hears everything your brain is thinking, so maintaining a positive mindset can have a significant impact on your journey to better hair and well-being. Next Steps Hair issues can be a reflection of underlying health imbalances, and addressing them can lead to positive changes in your overall health and well-being. Remember to consider thyroid and Hashimoto's, nutrient deficiencies, stress management, hormonal shifts, and PCOS as possible contributors to hair problems. Don't forget to choose hair care products wisely and maintain a positive mindset throughout your journey to better hair health.

On this episode, Jared discusses thyroid health with Dr. Todd Cameron, his own personal Functional Medical Physician. Dr. Cameron explains why TSH numbers on blood tests are only a small part of the bigger picture, and how levothyroxine (synthroid) isn't likely the answer to solving your thyroid issues. You will learn about the various other thyroid hormone numbers that matter and why they matter. You will also learn about the reference or “normal range” in blood test labs and why it doesn't mean optimal.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Madyson: Hi! very very simple question. What are your thoughts on the usage of an air fryer? Julie: Dr. Cabral, Would you please give me your opinion on the shingles vacc? I'm 55 and have been encouraged to get it but am a bit hesitant. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! Julie Kate: Hi, Love the podcast! I have a question about skin moles. I would like to understand what is the underlying root of why some people develop more moles as they get older or from the sun and why others do not. For example, my husband and I are both similar ages, spend about the same amount of time in the sun (mostly without sunscreen unless mid-day for extended periods), and have the same diet (very little to no seed oils or refined sugar). Yet, I have developed many moles and he very little. Why does my body produce this situation when others do not? Thanks for the information! Tamara: I'm a 35 year old female who had radioactive iodine treatment for Graves Disease at 17, became hypothyroid, & have taken Synthroid since. In 2017, I began taking T3 medication in addition to Synthroid. My labs looked good until a year ago, when I begun to show a suppressed TSH (0.01-0.04 mU/L), a low/normal T4 (12 pmol/L) & borderline low T3 (2.5 pmol/L). After coming off of T3 medication, my TSH rose to 0.4 mU/L, but my T4 and T3 have not changed. What could cause all three values to stay low? If I can get my T3 and T4 into the optimal range, does my TSH matter? I ran the stress, mood & metabolism lab in Sept and my T3, T4 & TSH were within range at the time. I did, however, have high cortisol throughout the day. I've since done the FM detox, heavy metal detox & mold protocol. Thank you!! Melanie: What is the cause of low/normal Free T3 but high Reverse T3 on a woman that has Hashimotos and is on thyroid medication? TSH is under 2 so it's normal.

The Root Cause Medicine Podcast is created by Rupa Health, the best way to order, track & manage results from 30+ lab companies in one place for free. The Root Cause Medicine Podcast is a weekly one-on-one conversation with renowned medical experts, specialists, and pioneers who are influencing the way we look at our health and wellbeing. This week we're joined by Dr. Kalea Wattles, Associate Director of Curriculum at The Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM). In this episode, Dr. Kalea Wattles explains all about reproductive longevity, including the fertility span, testing for fertility, and how to slow down ovarian aging. Dr. Kalea Wattles is an accomplished naturopathic doctor, certified functional medicine practitioner, and a renowned fertility expert. Her approach to helping women conceive and maintain pregnancies is based on the functional medicine philosophy. Key Takeaways: Focusing on reproductive longevity It's a human-specific phenomenon to experience a decline in fertility potential around middle age. This could be attributed to the "grandmother hypothesis," where women lose their fertility at a young age to allocate time and energy to taking care of their offspring. Nevertheless, losing reproductive potential has broader implications for various bodily systems, such as reduced bone mineral density and cognitive function, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, it's essential to prioritize reproductive longevity to not only ensure successful pregnancies now, but also promote long-term health and vitality. Understanding lifespan, healthspan, and fertility span Lifespan is the total duration of a person's life, from birth to death. Healthspan, on the other hand, refers to the period of life during which an individual is in good health and free from chronic diseases or disabilities. It's a measure of function rather than a measure of time. The fertility span is the period during which an individual is capable of reproducing, and it refers to the health of the ovaries, regular ovulation, hormone production that protects your bones and brain, and the nervous system. Normal versus pathological ovarian aging Women's ovaries naturally age, leading to a decline in function that culminates in the menopausal transition, usually occurring in the early fifties. This process is a normal part of aging and occurs regardless of a woman's overall health. However, some women experience an acceleration in ovarian aging, resulting in a decrease in ovarian reserve, which can lead to infertility. This can occur even if the woman is still having menstrual cycles and normal hormone levels. Premature ovarian insufficiency is another condition in which the ovaries exhibit perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms, such as irregular periods, even in younger women. Oxidative stress and inflammation Oxidative stress and inflammation are the two biggest contributors to ovarian aging. Oxidative stress is when the body experiences a buildup of compounds that can damage DNA. It can be from having a high sugar diet, environmental toxin exposures, chronic inflammation, or a low intake of dietary antioxidants. Inflammation can come from lots of different sources. Periodontal disease is a significant contributor to inflammation in the reproductive system. But it can also come from food sensitivities, intestinal hyperpermeability, or leaky gut. It's crucial to acknowledge the interconnectivity of all the systems in our body, as each one can impact the others. Therefore, when a woman intends to get pregnant, she must ensure that all her bodily systems are in proper working order and balance.

In this episode on stress and your adrenals, learn how stress greatly impacts the thyroid and what you can do about it as I interview Dr. Tricia Pingel. Dr. Pingel has helped hundreds of people restore their health by showing them how to identify the stress causing their symptoms, restoring their nutrition depleted by stress and assisting in changing their mindset to repel incoming stressors so that they can return to their happy, vibrant and energetic selves. Dr. Pingel will address adrenal fatigue/stress and its impact on thyroid function. This is why MANY thyroid therapies do not work effectively - because the stress response is impacting their absorption and conversation. Dr. Pingel is the author of Total Health Turnaround, creator of the health programs: The Total Energy Turnaround, 30 day Total Health Turnaround and 7 Day Ultimate Detox and 30 day Walking for Weight Loss. She is also the CEO of Total Health Apothecary, a supplement line specific to the nutritional needs of those under stress.

I get asked this question all the time so lets just address it right here shall we? Let's think about this, if you are truly doing ALL the things...implementing a gluten free lifestyle, eating right for your blood work, lifting heavy, getting proper sleep, then by all means we have to look at your symptoms. If you are experiencing symptoms, we may need to alter your meds or change them up a bit. For example, you are unable to lose stubborn weight or still are gaining weight, experiencing hair loss, fatigue or brain fog, you are not optimized. Our next step is to them match these symptoms up with full thyroid and hormone labs. If your doctor won't test free T3 and Reverse T3, it's time for a new doctor. This doctor does not know the thyroid and you will never get the proper meds and dosage from him or her. Find the specialist such as myself that will get you proper testing, the correct medication, and dose to get you your life back!

Did you know that there are at least 10 different tests for your thyroid? Well, there are actually more but these 10 are by far the most important. If you are someone who is still feeling poorly despite taking thyroid medication or if you are someone who has been told that they are "normal" even though you don't feel normal then this information is for you! It's also helpful for pretty much anyone that wants to accurately assess thyroid function. These lab tests help provide information no how well your thyroid gland is functioning, how much free and active thyroid hormone is floating around in your body, how well your body is converting thyroid hormone, what your thyroid gland looks like, and whether or not your other tissues are utilizing it. If you've only been tested for your TSH or free T4 then I have good news for you! There are many additional tests that you can use and order which will shed more light on your thyroid function. As a thyroid patient, you will want to get these labs checked at least one time (preferably more): #1. TSH #2. Free T3 #3. Free T4 #4. Total T3 #5. Reverse T3 #6. Sex Hormone Binding globulin #7. Thyroglobulin antibodies #8. Thyroid peroxidase antibodies #9. Thyroid Stimulating immunoglobulins #10. Thyroid ultrasound #11. Your clinical symptoms You don't need to continually get these checked every time you see your doctor but there's a good argument to be made for checking all of them at baseline to see where you fall. Have you had all of these tests done? If not, do you plan on getting them done? Let me know below!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Rebecca Warren. She is a Functional Wellness Practitioner and Doctor of Chiropractic who specializes in women's sex hormones, thyroid hormones, and healing after thyroidectomy. At 19, Dr. Rebecca was diagnosed with Follicular Variant Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and had a complete thyroidectomy with high dose radiation- all of which was completely unnecessary. But she didn't know what else to do. After having her thyroid removed, she suffered from hormone issues that Doctors would write off because all her labs looked “normal.” She suffered from depression, anxiety, weight loss resistance, and period issues with no help on how to get better. It wasn't until she decided to draw a line in the sand that no doctor would know more about her body than she did; her health transformed. She has spent the past decade and a half studying the literature, implementing protocols, using the most up-to-date functional labs and testing, and ancestral tools (like fasting and diet variation) to not only take back her health but to help thousands of men and women to do the same. Her goal is to help people avoid her unnecessary suffering and help those that may be on a hopeless path right now. Dr. Rebecca practices with her husband in Chattanooga, TN, and does virtual coaching worldwide. Their approach is simple but powerful: get to the cause, support the body, and trust and know that the body was created to heal itself. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca opens the show by discussing the inspiration behind her podcast, The Thyroidless Life. Then, Dr. Rebecca dives deep into everything you need to know about thyroid health. Dr. Rebecca explains why one autoimmune disease will most likely lead to another one down the road. Plus, Dr. Rebecca speculates why COVID and the COVID vaccinations could worsen your thyroid problems.

Whether you have a thyroid or not, thyroid healing and hormone balancing is a lifetime practice. The Thyroidless Life Podcast is a podcast about detoxing and fasting for hormone health. Rebecca wishes she had this information 17 years ago. Listen to the podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-thyroidless-life/id1623271333 [03:10] Why One Autoimmune Disease Will Lead to Another An autoimmune issue is systemic, and it comes from an immune imbalance. Rebecca specializes in the thyroid; over 90% of thyroid disorders, whether you're hyper or hypo is an autoimmune disorders. When you have an autoimmune disorder, you get a name for it, like Hashimotos. You don't just have a thyroid issue; you have a whole body issue. When you have one autoimmune disorder in your body, you're three times as likely to develop another. [06:50] Are the COVID Vaccines Leading To Thyroid Issues? You must ensure you've got the nutrition down; that's foundational. When your adrenals are good, then you have to start detoxing. Rebecca implores everyone to look at what's happened with their health in the last two and a half years. Having the COVID virus can create a thyroid storm and a thyroid issue. Two or three COVID vaccinations are also leading to thyroid issues. [16:00] The Thyroid Tests to Ask Your Doctor For As Soon As Possible You need a full wellness panel. First, look at your C-reactive protein. Also, make sure you know your fasting insulin and homocysteine. Homocysteine levels that are trending high mean there will be a methylation issue. When looking at thyroid, you need to do the full panel. Above all, make sure you know your Reverse T3. TSI, TPO, and thyroid globulin antibodies are also essential. Get these numbers done every single year; if they start to rise, you need to do something about it. [20:40] T4 & T3 Replacement Hormones to Repair Your Thyroid Problems If your doctor doesn't want to order panels, then find someone who will. When your panels come back and things don't look right, you may need to use grass-fed glandular. Grass-fed glandulars can help strengthen your thyroid and give you the needed hormones. Utilizing clean meds can help you get your head above water. Rebecca recommends WP Thyroid: https://wpthyroid.com/ You may also need Nature-Throid: https://www.naturethroid.com/ [27:30] Symptom Relief: Ketosis Will Give Your Thyroid a Break! One of the great ways that ketosis can help is by creating ketone bodies for energy. Fatigue, brain fog, memory loss, and weight loss resistance are related to your thyroid hormones. When you get into ketosis, many of these symptoms will go away. Ketosis will give your thyroid a break! [36:40] Hashimotos Can Cause Thyroid Tissue Destruction, but You Can Get It Under Control You can have thyroid antibodies, but it doesn't necessarily mean you have thyroid tissue destruction. You want to decrease your markers as much as you can. The problem that happens with Hashimotos is thyroid tissue destruction. When there is an attack, you're going to have more symptoms. You need to get the trigger under control. Then, do things that increase healthy cell growth. [46:20] What's the Relationship Between Liver and Thyroid Health? What's happening in the liver? Not only will it affect how many active hormones are available, but it will also determine how much Reverse T3 you're making. A healthy liver that's clearing out that's able to convert will be vitally important. The liver is going to help you detox. Your body knows what to do; however, we can't ignore how toxic our world is these days. AND MUCH MORE! Resources from this episode: Check out Check out Drs.
