Why do so many people still feel hypothyroid when their labs look "normal"? In this episode of Thyroid Answers, Dr. Eric Balcavage completes the thyroid lab conversation by addressing three of the most misunderstood tests in thyroid care: reverse T3, T3 uptake, and thyroid antibodies. You'll learn: What reverse T3 actually represents—and why it rises or falls Why high reverse T3 does not mean blocked T3 receptors How T3 medication lowers reverse T3 by suppressing T4, not by improving physiology What the T3 uptake test measures and why it still matters Why free T4 and free T3 can be misleading without total hormone levels How binding proteins, estrogen, liver function, inflammation, and medications affect interpretation What thyroid antibodies do—and do not—tell us about thyroid damage and disease activity This episode is essential listening if you've been told your thyroid is "optimized," yet symptoms persist—or if you're trying to understand why thyroid medications work for some people and cause instability for others. This discussion sets the stage for the February series on thyroid medication physiology, including T4-only therapy, T3 therapy, combination therapy, and desiccated thyroid.
Perimenopause can feel confusing, frustrating, and overwhelming — but what if it's actually an invitation to listen, reset, and rebuild? In this episode, Bria Gadd, also known as The Period Whisperer, reframes perimenopause as a powerful turning point and shares practical tools to help women stop fighting their bodies and start working with them. Episode Highlights & Talking Points Reframing Perimenopause Why perimenopause isn't a breakdown — it's a breakthrough How this season exposes what your body has been quietly asking for Why so many capable, driven women feel betrayed by their bodies during this transition Hormones, Anxiety & Night Sweats Why progesterone is often the first hormone to drop How estrogen fluctuations contribute to anxiety and sleep disruption The connection between cortisol, blood sugar, and waking up at night Health Debt Explained What "health debt" really means and why it catches up in midlife How years of overtraining, under-fueling, and ignoring symptoms compound over time Why doing more often backfires during perimenopause Energy Supply vs. Energy Demand Why the body's top priority during this phase is survival How to lower energy demand instead of pushing harder The three pillars of energy supply: sleep, nourishment, and joy Nutrition, Liver & Gut Health Why hormones are often the "canary in the coal mine" How liver detoxification and gut health impact estrogen balance Why many high-achieving women have depleted, not dysfunctional, guts Actionable Tools for Relief Seed cycling explained and how it supports hormone balance Simple nighttime strategies to calm cortisol and get back to sleep Why minerals are foundational — especially during hormonal transitions Peptides: What's Real vs. Hype Why peptides are not a replacement for foundational health How peptide therapy fits into functional medicine (when done correctly) The importance of working with a qualified practitioner Strength, Longevity & Training Why lifting weights becomes non-negotiable as women age How muscle protects hormones and long-term vitality Redefining success as quality of life, strength, and freedom Quotes from Bria Gadd "Perimenopause isn't the problem — it's the moment your body asks you to finally listen." "So many women are incredible at pushing through, but this season doesn't reward that — it requires a new relationship with your body." "Health debt is what happens when energy supply and demand no longer meet — and like financial debt, it compounds." "If your body isn't responding the way it used to, it's not failing — it's trying to survive." "Skipping meals is one of the fastest ways to drive cortisol and worsen hormone imbalance." "Your body at midlife is the result of the last 40 to 50 years — which is why the path forward has to be personalized." Rapid-Fire Takeaways One non-negotiable for hormone health: Walking Most underrated lab marker: T3 (thyroid hormone) Biggest menopause myth: That feeling awful is just part of aging Habit to stop: Skipping meals Habit to start: Hydrating daily with minerals Connect with Bria Gadd Instagram https://www.instagram.com/bria_period_whisperer The Period Whisperer Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-period-whisperer/id1548006250 Work with Bria / Functional Labs & Coaching https://www.theperiodwhisperer.com
The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Rob and Greg are joined by Jack Miller (President & CEO of T3 Sixty) for a wide-ranging discussion on the SP 200, changes to T3's ranking methodology, brokerage business models, agent economics, consolidation, and the future of the MLS as a comprehensive marketplace. Key Takeaways SP 200 methodology update: Rankings now factor in future impact, not just past performance, leading to notable shifts in the Top 10. Agent economics by model: Traditional brokerages show higher average agent income, while fee-based and capped models emphasize unit economics. Brokerage costs: The critical metric is cost per transaction and cost per agent—not just GAAP net income. Teams vs. platforms: High-producing agents increasingly partner with platforms (Compass, Place, Side) instead of building large internal teams. MLS under pressure: Preserving a comprehensive marketplace is the key challenge as private and delayed listings increase. Consolidation continues: Industry consolidation is ongoing, but not near an end-state oligopoly. Portals vs. brokerages: Compass and Zillow are shaping industry direction in different ways, with contrasting strengths and strategies.

Why do standard treatments for Long Covid and ME/CFS fail? Because they treat symptoms, not the cellular collapse. In this video, we break down the definitive "Metabolic Trinity" protocol: combining the hyperosmotic stress of dry fasting, the metabolic forced-restart of T3 therapy, and the regenerative power of hGH. We explain the physiology of why "Tissue-Level Hypothyroidism" is keeping you sick despite normal blood work, and how the "Unconventional Autophagy" pathway works to clear viral reservoirs that water fasting can't touch.Scientific References:Hyperosmotic Stress Induces Unconventional Autophagy-dependent Cell Death* - Investigating the unique cleaning pathways triggered by dehydration.Thyroid Hormone Transport into Cellular Tissue* - Understanding the gap between serum levels and tissue sufficiency.Helpful Resources:* Dry Fasting Club: https://dryfastingclub.com* The Scorch Protocol Hub: https://scorchprotocol.com**Medical Disclaimer:**The content in this video is for educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

In this research-focused episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling break down a groundbreaking four-week study from the Journal of Clinical Nutrition comparing alternate day fasting (true zero-calorie fasting days alternating with unrestricted eating days) against standard 16:8 time-restricted eating, revealing that ADF produced £1.4 more total fat loss and significantly greater visceral fat reduction than daily intermittent fasting—the stubborn metabolic fat that drives disease. The hosts emphasize the surprising finding that the ADF group was the only one showing increased activity energy expenditure and improved quality of life scores despite being in an aggressive caloric deficit, demonstrating that people actually felt better and moved more naturally rather than experiencing the typical diet misery. They provide crucial context on metabolic adaptation, explaining why the slight decrease in resting metabolic rate and T3 thyroid hormone with ADF only becomes problematic if prolonged, which is why they recommend strategic 2-4 week ADF cycles followed by foundational 16:8 or 18:6 fasting to protect metabolism while still achieving powerful visceral fat loss. This episode delivers the practical framework for using ADF as an intermittent power tool within a sustainable fast-cycling lifestyle—not as a white-knuckle permanent strategy like Angus Barbieri's 382-day fast or repeated brutal 72-hour fasts—while protecting muscle mass through resistance training and adequate protein to create lasting body composition changes without sacrificing energy, sanity, or long-term metabolic health.

T3 is the most talked-about thyroid hormone — and the most misunderstood. In this episode of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, Dr. Eric Balcavage breaks down Total T3 and Free T3 using a clear, Q&A-style format to address the most common questions, mistakes, and treatment traps patients and clinicians fall into. You'll learn: What T3 actually represents — and what it does not The difference between Total T3 and Free T3 (and why you need both) Why low T3 is often an adaptive response, not a deficiency Why adding T3 medication can help short-term but worsen physiology long-term Why "chasing Free T3" is one of the biggest mistakes in functional medicine How stress, inflammation, illness, dieting, and medications alter T3 levels Why labs can improve while patients feel worse How to interpret T3 correctly within the full thyroid panel This episode is essential listening if: You've been told your T3 is "low-normal" but still feel terrible You feel better on T3 medication at first — then worse Your labs look good, but your symptoms don't match You want to understand thyroid physiology beyond numbers and ranges
You're exhausted. Your hair is thinning. You can't lose weight no matter what you do. You're cold all the time, your brain feels foggy, and you just don't feel like yourself anymore. So you go to the doctor, convinced something is wrong with your thyroid—and they run a TSH test and tell you everything is "normal." But you're not fine. You know something is off. Here's the truth: your body might be screaming "hypothyroid" while your labs say "normal." And that's not because you're imagining things—it's because standard thyroid testing was designed to catch advanced disease. In this episode, we'll discuss what conventional thyroid testing misses. You'll discover why TSH alone is not an accurate indicator of thyroid health, how your body might be failing to convert T4 into usable T3, what reverse T3 reveals about chronic stress, and why your gut health and oral microbiome might be sabotaging your thyroid function. You'll learn: The 6 thyroid tests you should actually be requesting (beyond TSH) How stress, gut dysfunction, and nutrient deficiencies block thyroid hormone from working—even when levels look "normal" Why the gut-thyroid connection is one of the most overlooked factors in thyroid health The emerging role of short-chain fatty acids and the oral microbiome in thyroid function What "optimal" ranges really mean (versus standard reference ranges) If you've been told your thyroid is fine but you still feel terrible, this episode will validate your experience and give you a clear roadmap for what to test next.
*Episode Recorded live at Training. If your thyroid labs keep coming back "normal" but you're exhausted, gaining weight, losing hair, and feeling like you're falling apart... if your doctor keeps checking TSH and telling you everything's fine... if you've been on thyroid medication for years but still feel terrible... this episode is your wake-up call. Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Cassie Smith, an endocrinologist and hormone specialist, for a game-changing conversation about why the standard approach to thyroid testing is failing millions of people. This isn't your typical thyroid talk - it's the truth about why TSH alone is a useless marker after you start treatment, why 40-60% of Americans are walking around with suboptimal thyroid function, and what your doctor should actually be checking. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → Why TSH is only a screening tool (and becomes irrelevant once you're on medication) → The shocking truth: nobody's checking your Free T3 - the hormone that actually matters → Why conversion of T4 to T3 breaks down (stress, gut dysbiosis, insulin resistance) → The deiodinase enzymes that 93% of people can't optimize due to metabolic dysfunction → Why higher Free T3 levels = lower cardiovascular mortality and better outcomes → The "normal range" scam: why lab ranges are based on sick Americans, not optimal health → How your gut controls ALL hormone metabolism (thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, cortisol) → Why fixing thyroid without fixing gut health is a Band-Aid approach This isn't about ONE blood test. It's about understanding the whole system.

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?

Épisode 1420 : Aujourd'hui on parle d'un curieux mélange de saveurs, une recette assez rare dans le petit milieu des réseaux sociaux. Si je dois résumer Pinterest en ce début d'année, elle est extrêmement performante, très jeune, toujours très inspirante et sur laquelle souffle un air de liberté !Le business de Pinterest se porte a merveille avec un chiffre d'affaires en hausse de 17 % au T3 2025+44% de recherches sur le Trimestre 3 VS N-160% des GenZ considèrent Pinterest comme une plateforme plus positiveChiffres clés : Pinterest x Gen Z La Gen Z est devenue le plus gros segment d'audience : environ 40–42% des utilisateurs mondiaux, et c'est l'audience qui croît le plus vite.Pinterest communique sur une hausse d'environ +20 à +50% de l'usage Gen Z en un an. Ils ont un usage bcp plus intense que les milleniums. La Gen Z sauvegarde les post 2,4x plus que les autres générations.—En FrancePinterest est la 8e plateforme sociale la plus utilisée en France, avec environ 17–18 M d'utilisateurs.Pinterest touche 40% de la Gen Z en ligne en France, selon Pinterest France.En France, les 18–24 sont la tranche d'âge la plus présente sur la plateforme.—Sur Pinterest les Genz aussi font des projetsDéjà rappelons que les Genz ont entre 14 et 29 ans.Pour certains d'entre eux, il s'agit de jeunes adultes avec des projets et du pouvoir d'achat.Un usage très “projet” et très quotidien. Les Gen Z viennent sur Pinterest avec un but : meubler son premier appart, préparer un voyage, construire sa garde-robe, planifier un festival, etc..Intéressant, 96% des recherches populaires ne mentionnent aucune marque : ils ne tapent pas “Zara robe noire”, mais “robe noire stylée »—Mais surtout, Pinterest est une safe place loin des haters et de la pressionPinterest est perçu comme un espace positif :9 utilisateurs sur 10 le décrivent comme une sorte de “petit oasis en ligne”.Les commentaires existent mais sont peu centraux.C'est un environnement où il n'y a quasiment pas de “haters” comparé aux autres réseaux.Pour la Gen Z, souvent exposée à la toxicité et à la comparaison permanente sur TikTok / Insta, Pinterest devient un espace de respiration : on ne vient pas pour performer, on vient pour se projeter.—Pour la Genz, Pinterest est un lieu d'expression intimeEt il y a un format qui a lui seul symbolise Pinterest comme un territoire d'expression : Le format CollagesLes Collages permettent de découper des éléments d'épingles (cutouts) pour créer une composition/moodboard cliquable, à partir d'images Pinterest mais aussi de photos perso.Collages = format interactif : chaque élément renvoie vers une épingle (produit, outfit, déco…).70–72% des créateurs de collages sont Gen Z.Les collages génèrent ~3x plus d'engagement que les autres types d'épingles et sont enregistrés à des taux significativement plus élevés.—Pour la GenZ, Pinterest n'est pas (vraiment) un réseau social : c'est un moteur de recherche visuelContrairement à TikTok / Insta, le feed Pinterest est moins basé sur la popularité sociale, plus sur l'intention et les signaux personnels : ce que tu enregistres, ce que tu cherches, ce que tu cliques.Deux tiers des interactions sur Pinterest passent par la recherche.Pinterest c'est “slow social” : on peut scroller, mais l'usage dominant c'est de chercher, sauvegarder, organiser, pas de pression de poster tous les jours, pas de course aux vues / likes visibles comme sur TikTok / Insta…Retrouvez toutes les notes de l'épisode sur www.lesuperdaily.com !

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… Spencer: Hello Dr. Cabral, I've followed you for some time, and have now read both of your books. It seems overall, you tend to recommend less animal foods in the diet. Not that you have anything against them per se, but its likely based on some of the research I'm sure youve looked at on longetvity as well as environmental and moral reasons. Intsead of consuming a lot of animals, you eat a lot of plants, and supplement your way to nutrients. This seems odd to me, although I understand the reasoining. I venture to say, there are so many things in animal foods we dont even know of yet, just like at one time we didnt know about b vitamins, or prebiotics in breast milk etc. It just seems like a modern of way making this work, avoiding the animal food and band aiding it with supplements. I get that the soil is deplted etc, but still. Can you clarify here. I know that wasn't Youve helped another person and your struggle wasnt for nothing. Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral - Great meeting you at RHS this year and thanks for all of your incredible work! My question is: do you have a lab/test you recommend for mold and mycotoxin testing outside of EquiLife? I am an IHP L2 based in Seattle, WA and cannot obtain EquiLife tests in WA state still. In the past 18 months I have completed the CBO protocol twice to rid myself of SIBO, E. Coli and H. Pylori (including heal + seal post CBO) and have leveraged your protocols to rebalance my hormones after a partial thyroidectomy, however I still have persistent inflammation, puffiness in my face, post nasal drip and my H Pylori recently returned for the third time. I've also had new onset of hives that turn into pustules that antihistamines do not address. We had severe water damage in our home in 2022 (in our bedroom and attached bathroom) and I am wondering if mold or environmental issues are my true root cause given the work I've already done. I travel extensively overseas for work (2-3 weeks at a time) and symptoms are always better when I am away from my home. I am planning to have our house tested for mold but want to test my body too if you believe it is warranted. Any advice is appreciated as a next step - THANK YOU! Marissa: Hi Dr. Cabral!! I did your 14 day detox and loved it! Question, is Kachava protein brand clean? Anonymous: Hi Dr. C I did the SMMT in June, cbo protocol, addressed low am cortisol and adrenal issues , did the mold prot., I do have lyme ebv, both no symptoms in a while. Off HRT, numbers were very high, doing estrogen sup and prog. supp. dhea low ad u an supplementing with that. T 4 optimal but T3 2.9 and not addressed on consult. Tsh 2.6 I've been doing the foundational protocol for a year now. my chiro keeps saying to check my thyroid, he feels it. I started daily thyroid support and i am one month in. Im noticing so much skin sagging in the last year (using One Skin) and also my vision keeps getting worse quickly. I also do the vision support i went from looking like i was in my 40's when i was 50s to looking sagging and old in my early 60s. i feel so much better than i did but what's happening? . I use collagen, I eat sufficient protein, i train , all the boxes checked. The only thing i did not do was HMProtocol Mercury and Aluminum elevated .057 and 1.04 but I wanted to take the mercury filling out before doing protocol. i have another Stress mood metab.test also that im waiting on doing . Should i do it sooner. Everything else was not of that concern. Any ideas or supplement suggestions?? my sleep has been much better as well. it's very depressing when you feel you are addressing what you can address. Thank you for all your guidance and support. Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. Hope all is well with you and family. Given your experience with TCM, what are your thoughts on the use of Polyrhachis Ant powder, He Shou Wu/Fo-Ti, Pine Pollen, Sichisandra extract and Pycnogenol (pine bark extract)? Of course it'd be too lengthy to go in detail on the weekend show but maybe consider a Friday review? Thanks.

If your thyroid labs are "normal" but you still feel tired, inflamed, puffy, slow, or stuck in a metabolic plateau… this episode is for you. Coach Debbie Potts pulls back the curtain on one of the most overlooked root causes of low thyroid symptoms in midlife: vagus nerve dysfunction. Inside this deep-dive episode, Debbie explains how chronic stress, gut dysbiosis, LPS, H. pylori, low stomach acid, sluggish bile, and mitochondrial dysfunction can block thyroid hormone activation — even if you're taking T3 medication. You'll learn: • How vagus nerve dysfunction suppresses digestion and nutrient absorption • Why low vagal tone reduces T4 → T3 conversion in the liver and gut • How inflammation, LPS, and stress physiology increase Reverse T3 • Why your cells can't "hear" thyroid hormone when mitochondria are under stress • The link between HRV, autonomic balance, and metabolic flexibility • Debbie's personal case study using GI-MAP, MEScreen, HRV tracking, and blood chemistry • How she used Pulsetto Vagus Nerve Stimulation to restore parasympathetic tone If you're doing "all the right things" but still can't lose weight, build muscle, recover well, or feel like yourself… your thyroid may not be the real problem. Your cellular environment might be.
In this whiteboard-style episode, we delve into serotonin's pivotal yet underrated role in prenatal brain development and autism, tracing its origins from maternal tryptophan (primarily gut-derived in the first trimester) through fetal production shifts across trimesters.

Ever felt so tired, foggy, and super exhausted even after your thyroid results came out normal?T3 may be the culprit. Sarah's story can help you understand that this missing piece can be reason your health isn't improving. And help you reverse your thyroid from the root.
Your vagus nerve is the most underrated driver of your metabolism, hormones, digestion, inflammation, and stress resilience — especially in midlife. And if you've been stuck in "fight or flight" for years (hello, athletes, Type-A performers, and burnt-out high achievers), this episode is the missing link in your healing and fat-loss journey. In this deep-dive episode, Coach Debbie walks you through the real mechanisms behind vagus nerve dysfunction, why so many middle age men and women experience "vagal toxicity," and how suppressed vagal tone shuts down fat-burning, slows thyroid conversion (T4 → T3), increases inflammation, disrupts digestion, and tanks HRV. You'll also hear Debbie's personal case study — connecting her GI-MAP results, MEScreen mitochondrial findings, HRV data, LF/HF ratios, blood chemistry patterns, and real-time tracking using SweetBeat Life to show what chronic sympathetic dominance actually looks like inside the body. Then we explore VNS (vagus nerve stimulation) therapy, how it works, why the research is exploding, and exactly how Debbie is using Pulsetto daily to retrain her nervous system and restore metabolic flexibility. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: • Why vagus nerve dysfunction blocks T3 from entering your cells • How LPS, H. pylori, low stomach acid & sluggish bile suppress vagal tone • The "freeze mode" most midlife women don't know they're in • HRV, LF/HF, and what your nervous system is really telling you • How chronic sympathetic stress shuts down fat-burning • Why VNS is becoming a game-changer for digestion, sleep, thyroid & metabolism • Debbie's daily Pulsetto protocol + what changed in her data • How to rebuild your vagal tone and create a stronger FutureYou PULSETTO VNS (Debbie's Favorite Tool for Stress Reset): Strengthen your vagus nerve, improve HRV, and calm your stress response — anytime, anywhere.

I brought on Dr. Amie Hornaman, known as the Thyroid Fixer, to challenge the way we think about metabolism, hormone health, and strength training. We explored T2, a lesser-known thyroid hormone that acts directly at the mitochondria to help burn fat, boost energy, and protect lean mass.This conversation matters if you care about nutrition and fitness, longevity, and strength training over 40, especially for women's fitness and anyone frustrated by slow progress despite doing “everything right.” We connected evidence-based fitness, evidence-based nutrition, and smart supplementation, without hype or shortcuts.Today, you'll learn all about:0:00 – Why metabolism feels broken4:20 – The forgotten thyroid hormone9:45 – T2 vs T3 and T415:30 – Fat loss without muscle loss22:10 – Mitochondria and metabolism28:40 – Appetite vs energy expenditure35:55 – Strength training and thyroid health44:30 – Hashimoto's and lab myths52:20 – Practical next stepsEpisode resources:Thyroid Fixxr T2 Supplement - get 10% off with code WITSThe Thyroid Fixer Podcast - follow to get Philip's episode soon!Free 7-Day Thyroid Healing KickstarterJust Fix Your THYROID Facebook GroupWebsite: dramie.com Support the show
What if the real path to agency growth isn't working harder, but thinking more irrationally? And what if your biggest breakthroughs are hiding inside the constraints you've been trying to avoid? In this episode of The Agency Blueprint, I'm joined by Ben Gaddis to explore why agency growth depends less on heroic effort and more on systematic, scalable thinking. Ben is the former CEO of T3, co-founder of SuperStep Capital, and co-author of Embracing Irrationality. He took his agency from a boutique creative shop to a $50M powerhouse before merging with a $350M firm and eventually transacting with Blackstone. Listen in to learn how small one-degree shifts in pricing, productization, positioning, and delivery can alter an agency's trajectory without the instability of a massive overhaul. You will also learn about team dynamics, creative culture, psychological safety, and the importance of creating space for unconventional thinkers inside your agency. Key Questions: [05:22] Are you empowering your most innovative team members, or accidentally pushing them toward starting their own competing firm? [07:29] What are your thoughts on the risk factors and opportunities of letting something go live without fully thinking through every single potential nuance of it? [13:37] Can you define what a premier agency is and why most firms today lack the traits of a premier agency? [25:43] What outcome is your creativity aiming to deliver, and have you defined it well enough for a client to trust it? [32:03] If you treated an innovative project differently from day one, how would that reshape your team's engagement and the quality of the work? What You'll Discover: [01:39] Ben explains why large organizations struggle to innovate and how this applies to agencies of all sizes. [03:42] The “one-degree decisions” concept — how small shifts can accumulate into massive business transformation over time. [06:05] Why rejecting innovative team members causes them to leave and potentially become stronger competitors, and how to prevent this. [08:05] How to clearly define what tiny piece of your delivery model is changing so teams don't feel overwhelmed or threatened. [11:47] How leaders can frame meetings to encourage big ideas by stepping back and allowing others to think freely without constraints. [13:48] The traits of a premier agency: point of view, methodology, and the ability to attract top talent and elite clients. [14:57] Why agencies resist specialization and how fear of losing opportunities often leads to a watered-down, generic market presence. [17:19] How most agencies present the same pitch, and clients can instantly tell when a firm lacks true differentiation. [19:58] How small teams can win massive enterprise clients if they have unmatched expertise in a narrow domain. [22:56] The power of clarity and repeatability – why clients prefer agencies with proven systems rather than teams who “figure it out” as they go. [24:54] Debunking the myth of creativity as personal art and reframing it as a service tool. [28:17] Why bold innovation projects often lead to significantly higher long-term revenue, even when they initially look risky on paper. [32:30] How agencies can define outcomes in ways that command attention, even from the most disengaged person in the pitch room. [35:11] Ben on how a 5% innovation investment became a powerful marketing engine that attracted attention, created standout case studies, and accelerated inbound demand. Connect with...

If you've ever taken thyroid medication exactly as prescribed… and still struggled with fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, hair loss, anxiety, or feeling "off," you've probably wondered: "Are thyroid meds a scam?" In this episode, Priscilla breaks down this emotionally loaded question with science, clarity, and a dose of tough love. Instead of blaming the medication—or blaming yourself—she exposes the real issue: the conventional thyroid model promises results it was never designed to deliver. You'll learn why so many women feel no different (or worse) on medication, the six biggest "missed pieces" keeping your metabolism stuck, and how to finally create a metabolic environment where your thyroid meds can actually work. This episode is a must-listen if you've ever been told: "Your labs are normal." "Your symptoms aren't related to your thyroid." "There's nothing else you can do." "Just take this pill and come back in six months." Spoiler: your frustration is valid, and you're not crazy. In This Episode, We Cover:
https://dryfastingclub.comhttps://dry-fasting-club.github.io/sc...The Scorch Protocol is a revolutionary approach to healing chronic illnesses like Long Covid and Autoimmune disease by combining the power of dry fasting with specific metabolic bridges. In this video, we explore the unique genetic challenges faced by people of Northern European descent, specifically the "hibernation gene" theory and how it impacts metabolic rate after fasting. We dive into why dry fasting is a powerful tool for cellular clearance and autophagy, but also why it requires a structured rebuilding phase using T3 and hGH to prevent metabolic tanking. If you've been searching for the middle ground between fasting extremism and standard medical care, this deep dive into the Scorch Protocol will provide the mechanistic answers you've been looking for to restore your health.Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes only and does NOT constitute medical advice.

In this episode, Dr. Rebecca and Dr. Nathan pull back the curtain on this special deep dive that was done for the Thyroid Inner Circle community, exploring the often-missing link in thyroid healing: mitochondrial health. They discuss why optimizing thyroid hormones doesn't always translate into better energy, metabolism, or weight loss and how cellular function plays a major role in how the body adapts, heals, and burns fuel. You'll hear a high-level conversation on the connection between T3, mitochondria, inflammation, blood sugar, gut health, toxins, and modern stressors, along with the necessary action steps and things you can start doing today that influence mitochondrial health and long-term metabolic resilience. If you've improved your labs but still don't feel like yourself, this episode helps explain what may be happening beneath the surface—and why true healing goes beyond hormones alone.

Is Your Brain Keeping You Stuck in Thyroid Purgatory? | Thyroid Shorts #22 Most people assume persistent hypothyroid symptoms mean their thyroid is failing or their medication is wrong. But what if your thyroid isn't broken at all, and your brain's perception of safety or threat is controlling everything? In this episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage reveals why many people get trapped in Thyroid Purgatory. In this state, thyroid physiology is perfectly adapted to protection, not performance, which is why more T4 or adding T3 often makes symptoms worse, not better. You'll learn how two key cortisol receptors (MR and GR) determine whether your body operates in:

In this rare and powerful interview, I sit down with Dr. Denis Wilson, the creator of Wilson's Temperature Syndrome, for his first podcast appearance in years. Can you say AMAZING?! We dive into the origin of Wilson's Temperature Syndrome, what it actually is, and how it differs from classic hypothyroidism. Dr. Wilson explains why body temperature is one of the most accurate reflections of your metabolism! And why metabolism is the true core function of the thyroid. You'll learn why you can't measure metabolism on a blood test, why normal thyroid labs don't always mean you're well, and how doctors may completely overlook conversion issues, low T3 function, and cellular-level hormone activity. We also explore: Why low body temperature is a red flag for metabolic slowdown How to increase temperature with T3 and how weaning off can still leave symptoms resolved How the deiodinase enzymes work to control T4-to-T3 conversion Why so many people remain symptomatic even on thyroid medication The cellular reasons behind fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and low mood How stress is one of the biggest drivers of thyroid dysfunction The shocking impact that just one night of poor sleep can have on metabolism And lots more! This episode is essential for anyone who has low thyroid symptoms but “normal” labs, struggles with chronic fatigue or low temperatures, or wants a deeper understanding of metabolism from the physician who pioneered this field. Denis Wilson, MD, described Wilson ‘s Temperature Syndrome in 1988 after observing people with symptoms of low thyroid and low body temperature, yet who had normal blood tests. He found that by normalizing their temperatures with T3 (without T4) their symptoms often remained improved even after the treatment was discontinued. As a result of his findings, Dr. Wilson developed the WT3 protocol for Wilson's Temperature Syndrome (now standard of care) and originated sustained release T3. He was the first doctor to use sustained-release T3. Find out more about Dr Wilson here; Youtube - @RestorativeMedicine Website - https://wilsonssyndrome.com/

In this episode, Coach Debbie reveals why your thyroid isn't the problem — your cellular environment is. Learn how vagus nerve dysfunction, LPS, H. pylori, low stomach acid, sluggish bile, and mitochondrial stress block T4 → T3 conversion and prevent T3 (even medication!) from entering your cells. Debbie shares her personal case study connecting GI-MAP, MEScreen mitochondrial testing, blood chemistry, HRV, and vagus nerve suppression to low T3 activation, slow metabolism, and performance plateaus. Key topics: • Why T3 meds don't always work • How LPS blocks thyroid hormone • Gut–vagus–thyroid connection • Bile flow + fat-burning • Mitochondria + metabolism • How stress shuts down thyroid activation Pulsetto Vagus Nerve Stimulation:

In the ED, we regularly care for sick patients presenting acutely with abnormal vital signs, altered mental status, and end organ dysfunction. Oftentimes, the culprit ends up being sepsis, or overdose, or organ failure. But it is important that we consider rarer endocrine presentations like decompensated hypothyroidism. In this Part 1 of this two-part podcast with Dr George Willis and Dr Alyssa Louis, we answer questions like: Why is the term myxedema coma a misnomer and should be abandoned? How can we differentiate between sepsis or environmental hypothermia or toxidrome from decompensated hypothyroidism at the bedside? When is it appropriate to order a TSH, a T4 and T3? What are the most important life-threatening triggers that need to be addressed in patients with decompensated hypothyroidism? Why is it important to test for cortisol levels and consider stress-dose steroids in all patients with decompensated hypothyroidism? Why is endotracheal intubation particularly dangerous in decompensated hypothyroidsm? What is the best way to manage hypothermia? Why is the order of medications for treatment of decompensated hypothyroidism so important? and many more...

Many people start T3 medication hoping for more energy and mental clarity—only to end up feeling wired, anxious, or unable to sleep. In this episode of Thyroid Shorts, Dr. Eric Balcavage explains why too much or too little T3 can both amplify anxiety and insomnia, and how to restore calm by shifting from defense mode to recovery mode. You'll learn how the brain's fear center (the amygdala) interprets stress, how local T3 activity inside the brain differs from global thyroid output, and why "state before hormone" is the key to lasting recovery. Featuring insights from two pivotal papers: Psychoneuroendocrinology (2024): Evidence for thyroid hormone regulation of amygdala-dependent fear relevant memory and plasticity PLoS ONE (2011): Adult-Onset Hypothyroidism Enhances Fear Memory and Up-regulates Mineralocorticoid and Glucocorticoid Receptors in the Amygdala Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro – Is T3 causing your anxiety and insomnia? 02:00 – Input → Interpretation → Response: how the brain reads threat 05:00 – The amygdala as the body's alarm system 08:00 – The Threat Perception Loop and defense physiology 11:00 – Local vs global thyroid adaptation: T3 in the amygdala 13:00 – The T3 Paradox: too little vs too much T3 17:00 – Shifting from defense to recovery mode 19:00 – Key takeaways & how to calm the system before adjusting hormone Key Takeaway: Your thyroid follows your brain's perception of safety. Calming the nervous system restores efficient T3 conversion—without overstimulation.
On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared welcomes functional medicine dietitian and gut-health expert Lisa Smith for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked systems influencing hormone balance: the estrobolome. If you've never heard that word before, you're not alone — but by the end of this conversation you'll understand why the estrobolome may be the missing link in stubborn hormone symptoms, estrogen dominance, thyroid sluggishness, mood changes, and even men's testosterone challenges. Jared and Lisa break down how gut bacteria influence estrogen detoxification, what beta-glucuronidase is actually doing behind the scenes, why bile flow matters (especially if you don't have a gallbladder), and how fiber, cruciferous vegetables, and targeted nutrients can support healthy hormone metabolism. This is a practical, empowering discussion designed to help you understand root causes rather than chase symptoms. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, PCOS, thyroid issues, mood swings, stubborn weight, or low energy, this episode brings science down to earth with simple, realistic starting points for rebuilding gut balance and restoring hormonal resiliency — naturally and safely.Products:Precision ProbioticLiverVitality EndoCleanseAdditional Information:Pretty Well PodcastInstagramLisa Smith WellnessVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

In this episode of The Thyroidless Life, Dr. Rebecca Warren delivers a sharp, science-driven breakdown of why the timing of your thyroid medication before labs can completely distort your results—and your treatment. She explains the two pharmacokinetic phases of T3, why the early post-dose spike is not a true reflection of tissue-level thyroid status, and how mistimed labs routinely lead to misdiagnosis, under-treatment, or dangerous dose changes. Drawing from clinical experience, research interviews, and two decades of living post-thyroidectomy, Dr. Rebecca shows why fasted labs are essential. If you've ever been told your labs "look fine" while your symptoms scream otherwise.

Hypothyroidism And The New FDA Ruling The thyroid gland plays a vital role in regulating key body functions, but when it's dysregulated, the typical treatment involves synthetic T4 and T3. A small number of patients still use desiccated thyroid extract derived from animals, but the FDA plans to phase it out due to safety and dosing concerns. Our experts explain why patients are still using DTE and why they're being transitioned to other options. Saving A Life: How To Reverse An Overdose Many people know what to do in emergencies like fires or animal encounters, but far fewer understand how to respond to an opioid overdose.

The thyroid gland plays a vital role in regulating key body functions, but when it's dysregulated, the typical treatment involves synthetic T4 and T3. A small number of patients still use desiccated thyroid extract derived from animals, but the FDA plans to phase it out due to safety and dosing concerns. Our experts explain why patients are still using DTE and why they're being transitioned to other options. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Gift Someone (Or Yourself) A Stranger Things RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Spoiler Review! Roxy Striar & Tara Erickson dive into the third chapter of James Cameron's legendary sci-fi action franchise (this time directed by Jonathan Mostow), revisiting John Connor, the T-850 (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Kate Brewster (Claire Danes), and the deadly T-X (Kristanna Loken). We break down iconic scenes like the crane chase, the veterinarian clinic standoff, the cemetery fight, Judgment Day's reveal, and THAT shocking ending. We revisit the full franchise — The Terminator (1984), T2: Judgment Day (1991), T3: Rise of the Machines (2003), Terminator Salvation (2009), Terminator Genisys (2015), Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) — and discuss how T3 fits into the timeline, its wild tone shift, franchise themes, Skynet lore, and why the John/Kate dynamic hits differently today.

Stress and Holiday Hypothyroidism | How Stress Lowers T3 and Raises rT3 | Dr. Eric Balcavage – Thyroid Shorts Ep. 19 The holidays are supposed to be joyful — but for many with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's, they trigger fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and anxiety. In this episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage, creator of the Adaptive Thyroid Model™, explains how stress physiology, poor sleep, and inflammation can turn down your thyroid hormone activity — even when your blood tests look "normal." Learn why holiday stress, late nights, sugar spikes, alcohol, and over-training push your body into a reverse T3 (rT3) dominant state — what Dr. Balcavage calls Holiday Hypothyroidism — and how to fix it naturally. In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ What reverse T3 is — and how it shuts down active T3 inside your cells ✅ How cortisol, IL-6, and TNF-α change deiodinase enzyme activity (DIO1/2 ↓, DIO3 ↑) ✅ Why your thyroid "slows down" under stress — it's protection, not failure ✅ The 5-Day rT3 Reset — a practical plan for restoring thyroid balance ✅ How to lower inflammation, improve sleep, and support bile flow during the holidays
Few beauty executives currently compete in a category they created, but that's the case for Dr. Julie Chung and Kent Yu, the married co-founders behind T3 hair tools (19:00). The duo created the luxury hair tool category back in 2004 when they launched T3 with the first lightweight, sleek and quiet blowdryer that delivered smoother, faster results. T3's Featherweight model was the first luxury dryer on the market and the most expensive at the time, priced at $200. Dr. Chung and Yu quickly found a consumer, and before long, T3 was the first hair tool sold in stores like Sephora. Fast forward 21 years, and they still own and operate 100% of their Los Angeles-based business. The success of T3 created a runway for a category now filled with brands like Dyson and Shark Beauty. So what is it like to compete in a category you created? Host Lexy Lebsack sat down with Dr. Chung and Yu to learn about their journey to becoming beauty founders, including making time for Dr. Chung's first career as an eye doctor. They also discuss how they're navigating their biggest challenges, balancing retail and DTC, maintaining NPD standards in a faster-is-better world, and competing within the category. But first, Lebsack is joined by co-host Emily Jensen to break down the news of the week. This includes the controversial launch of Rini, a line of skin-care products made for kids aged 2-12 and sold DTC. The line was launched earlier this month by actress Shay Mitchell, boyfriend Matte Babel and Esther Song, and received immediate backlash. Lebsack and Jensen also discuss the launch of Dua by AB, a diffusion line from skin-care founder Augustinus Bader and fronted by singer Dua Lipa. Unfortunately, diffusion lines — defined as secondary, lower-priced product lines from a higher-end brand — rarely find success in the beauty industry. Finally, the duo discusses L'Oréal Group's new investment in Chinese mass clean beauty brand Lan and Estée Lauder Companies' investment in Mexican niche fragrance brand Xinú.

In this episode, Antonio explores the complex biology of thyroid hormone production, conversion, and regulation—highlighting how deiodinase enzymes modulate hormone activity at the tissue level and why that matters for interpreting lab results. He discusses the shortcomings of relying solely on TSH as a marker of thyroid function, the ongoing debate around combination therapy with T3 and T4 versus standard T4 treatment, and how genetics, tissue sensitivity, and individual variability influence thyroid hormone metabolism. The conversation also examines how hypothyroidism affects energy, mood, cognition, and longevity; why some patients remain symptomatic despite "normal" labs; and how future research could reshape treatment paradigms. We discuss: How the thyroid produces, stores, and activates hormones like T4 and T3 to finely regulate thyroid activity [2:45]; How fasting alters thyroid hormones to conserve energy [12:45]; Action of the deiodinases: how D1, D2, and D3 enzymes control the activation and inactivation of thyroid hormones [19:15]; The normal function of thyroid hormone and the roles of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and deiodinases in maintaining hormonal balance [23:30]; Why understanding thyroid physiology is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism [33:45]; Testing for thyroid hormones: understanding free vs. total levels, the limitations of current T3 assays, best practices, and more [36:00]; Genetic and sex-based variability in thyroid hormone regulation and their limited clinical significance [43:45]; Hyperthyroidism: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options [46:00]; Hypothyroidism: diagnosis and autoimmune causes of hypothyroidism [56:30]; More on hypothyroidism: diagnostic biomarkers, antibody patterns, and non-autoimmune presentations [1:05:00]; Thyroid hormone replacement therapy [1:15:15]; More on thyroid replacement strategies: exploring the evidence gaps, mortality signals, effects on lipids, and more [1:28:00]; Hypothyroidism basics: causes, antibody implications (including pregnancy), and how to make the diagnosis before choosing therapy [1:35:15]; Thyroid medication: compounded controlled-release T3, brand name versus generic, and what Antonio prescribes to newly diagnosed hypothyroid patients [1:42:45]; Redefining treatment success: why normalizing TSH isn't always enough for patients with hypothyroidism [1:54:45]; Case studies: analysis of two unusual cases of thyroid disease [1:57:00]; Dangers of supplementing with high levels of iodine, and female-specific risk of thyroid disease [2:05:45]; Case study of a patient who presents with elevated TSH but no symptoms [2:09:30]; How future research could reshape treatment, and Antonio's new book called "Rethinking Hypothyroidism" [2:13:15]; and More.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Is innovation truly at the center of your agency operations? Not just what you offer clients, but in how you operate? With AI raising expectations faster than most agencies can adapt, investing in innovation isn't optional anymore. It's how you build client trust, stay ahead of disruption, and keep your edge. Today's featured guest unpacks his journey from leading the award-winning agency T3 to launching Superstep Capital, a private equity firm investing exclusively in agency and technology-service businesses. His insights cut through the noise on innovation, leadership, and how to stay ahead of the next big shift. Ben Gaddis still calls himself agency guy. After more than a decade building T3 into one of the nation's leading digital agencies, serving clients like UPS, 7-Eleven, and JP Morgan Chase he sold the company and launched Superstep Central, a private equity firm investing in agencies and tech service businesses. When he sold T3 to a private-equity group, he didn't ride off into the sunset. Instead, he crossed over to what he calls "the dark side," founding Superstep Capital. Now, he defines his mission as redefining what private equity looks like in the agency world by partnering with founders to scale the right way. In this episode, we'll discuss: Going all-in on the next wave before clients catch up. Why innovation should be treated as an expectation. Lessons on creating a leadership structure. Why differentiation still wins.

Go All-In on the Next Wave Before Clients Catch Up Ben's family has been running T3 since he was born, so it made sense to him that he'd eventually end up in the agency world. Hence, he started his career working at Omnicom, learning from their biggest competitors, and was around when mobile apps became a thing after the launch of the iPhone. At Omnicom Ben saw how traditional holding companies were too slow to invest in mobile. He didn't hesitate to seize the opportunity that mobile presented. Frustrated, he took over T3 and bet big on the emerging mobile market. That bet paid off with marquee wins and explosive growth, scaling the agency to $50 million in revenue and around 300 employees. His advice for agency owners today echoes that same spirit: burn the boats. You can't half-commit to a new capability and expect to lead it. You can't expect clients to lead you there. If you want to own a new channel, whether it's AI, automation, voice, whatever's next, you have to invest ahead of demand and prove value before anyone asks. If you wait for client demand before you invest, it's already too late. Innovation Isn't a Slogan, It's an Expectation At T3, Ben created a culture where innovation wasn't just encouraged; it was an expectation. So they turned innovation into a measurable habit by creating an "Innovation Match" program where they matched a portion of a client's spend dollar-for-dollar on experimental projects. Clients got to share in the risk and the reward. Those projects became T3's biggest success stories and built a reputation for fearless creativity. T3 chose projects and built roadmaps alongside the clients. turning them into true partners in innovation. The coolest work the agency ever did ended up coming from that program. It even led to another venture project called T3 Ventures, where they invested in c-stage startups. It was all about surrounding his team with people who were doing the newest and coolest stuff and letting their clients see this. It worked much better to show innovation than to just talk about it. Innovation has to live in your budget, not your buzzwords. When your team sees that experimentation is backed by leadership, and even matched financially, they'll start bringing the bold ideas that set you apart. This" Innovation Match" model is a playbook for modern agencies trying to make innovation a repeatable, funded process. Leadership Has to Grow as Fast as the Agency Early on, Ben was a young CEO trying to manage instead of lead. He assumed people could read his mind and execute on his vision. That mistake caused turnover and frustration until he hit pause, clarified T3's mission, and re-aligned around a few focused areas: digital products, loyalty, and CRM. From there, he learned to build leadership in layers. Initially, he brought on a COO, which seemed like the next logical move; however, it wasn't the right cultural fit and complicated everything with the team. It wasn't about what his COO changed, it was how they did it… the entire team rejected this dynamic. Eventually, Ben was able to bring in a COO who simplified instead of complicating. It not only freed Ben to think creatively again and gave the agency room to scale, it gave him back his creative headspace. Agency Structure for Scale: Build Practice Leaders, Not Project Managers The other positive change at his agency was creating the "practice groups". Instead of spreading talent thin across random projects, they paired a portfolio lead with a subject-matter expert. Each duo owned a P&L and growth target. The result was deep expertise, repeatable wins, and new verticals that practically built themselves. Their restaurant and convenience-store niche exploded from 2 clients to 30 in record time. This model solves the scaling paradox of how to grow without sacrificing quality. When your experts own both excellence and profit, growth stops feeling chaotic. The last area they focused on was delivery, fighting to maintain quality as they did the newest thing. In the end, it came down to setting expectations and aligning with clients around what they were bringing to the table. As a result, quality went up. AI, Sales, and What's Next for Agency Growth On the investment side, Ben sees a lot of agencies struggling with hesitation and "no-decision" deals. AI has amplified expectations while compressing margins. Many clients now assume everything can be automated, expecting greater output for less cost. Thankfully, this trend has decreased, as clients were burned by this overreliance on AI. On the other hand, it's clear to Ben that agencies should and must be faster and more efficient, and agencies with a clear understanding of what they do and who they serve are not blindsighted by this new reality. His advice: AI isn't differentiation, it's amplification. The edge comes from how you apply it, not the tools themselves. Know your vertical, know your data, and connect AI to real business outcomes. The agencies that win are the ones that define how AI fits their process - not the other way around. Why Differentiation Still Wins in the AI Era The agencies and individuals winning right now aren't the ones with the fanciest tools or the most automation; they're the ones combining experience, curiosity, and creativity to use AI in smarter ways. Ben shares the story of an account manager who built her own workflows using AI to research verticals, anticipate objections, and walk into client meetings armed with strategic ideas that wowed executives. She wasn't a technologist, she was a strategist who understood her clients deeply and used AI as a force multiplier. That's the real edge in this new era. Tools are accessible to everyone, but insight and application are not. As Ben points out, it's your data, your intuition, and your industry expertise that make AI valuable. AI doesn't replace strategy, it rewards it. The agencies that know their data, their clients, and their niche will always have the edge.
