Podcasts about T3

In this episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage responds to a thoughtful viewer comment that challenges key aspects of his adaptive thyroid physiology model and Cell Danger Response theory. This deep-dive discussion addresses whether his approach applies to every hypothyroidism case, clarifies the 71% improvement statistic, and explores the role of T3 therapy in thyroid treatment.   Key Topics Covered: Does the Cell Danger Response theory apply to all hypothyroidism cases? Clarification of the 71% patient improvement statistic - what it really means Historical use of NDT (Natural Desiccated Thyroid) and treatment evolution Post-Graves disease thyroid management and receptor sensitivity Why T3 therapy works for some patients but doesn't restore physiology The difference between symptom management and true thyroid restoration When to consider alternative approaches for treatment-resistant cases Dr. Balcavage provides nuanced responses while acknowledging the limitations of current thyroid models, emphasizing that his approach offers hope for patients who haven't found success with conventional T4, NDT, or T3 protocols.   Perfect for: Thyroid patients stuck in "thyroid purgatory," healthcare practitioners seeking new perspectives, and anyone interested in understanding why standard thyroid treatments sometimes fail.

Feeling wrecked even though your labs are “normal”? In this episode, we sit down with Sophie Shepherd, FDN-P and founder of She Talks Health, to unpack why minerals are the spark plugs of your metabolism, thyroid, and mitochondria—and why you should nourish first, detox later. We cover HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis), Hashimoto's, copper dysregulation, mold, trauma/stress (the “two T's”), somatic work, and why so many “type A, I-do-everything-right” women are still bloated, brain-fogged, inflamed, and exhausted. If your free T3 won't rise, your iron won't budge, or you've got supplement fatigue, this one's your permission slip to rebuild your foundation and finally heal.

Iodine is the building block to healthy and happy thyroid. Without sufficient iodine, we can't build the very hormones that our thyroid gland is supposed to make - T4 and T3. So, if you have a deficiency of thyroid hormone, as is in the case of hypothyroidism - why are more doctors looking into iodine deficiency as a possible root cause behind hypothyroidism? That is a question I'm answering on today's episode, along with the even more important questions of: if you're doctor isn't going to test you, how can YOU evaluate your own iodine levels. And secondly, if they are low, how can you safely build them up again. There's a lot of controversy around iodine, both on whether or not we even need more iodine in our diets as well as if iodine supplement is even safe. That's why, on today's episode, we're diving into: Symptoms of iodine deficiencyWhy iodine in salt is not enoughWhy iodine testing is so hardWhat tests I recommend to evaluate iodine levels3 safety measures for an iodine protocolAccess to my iodine protocol I've used with my own clients If you're dealing with hypothyroidism, bloating, constipation, brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, or hormonal symptoms like estrogen dominance, PMS, or endometriosis - then this episode is for you.

¿Notas cansancio, apatía o que no logras perder peso a pesar de “hacerlo todo bien”? En este episodio hablamos con Joaquín Puerma, endocrino y autor, para entender cómo funciona el sistema hormonal y por qué a veces nuestro cuerpo parece no acompañarnos. Nos centramos en el hipotiroidismo, un trastorno más común de lo que parece, que a menudo pasa desapercibido o mal diagnosticado. ¿Qué papel juegan la TSH, la T3 y la T4? ¿Qué significa tener los anticuerpos elevados? ¿Es lo mismo Hashimoto que hipotiroidismo? ¿Y qué podemos hacer si estamos medicados pero seguimos sin encontrarnos bien? Además, abordamos el sobrepeso y la obesidad desde una mirada médica, entendiendo el papel de las hormonas, los nuevos tratamientos como la semaglutida y la importancia del trabajo conjunto entre endocrinos y dietistas-nutricionistas. Un episodio claro, riguroso y lleno de respuestas para quienes buscan entender su salud desde dentro.

Dr. Eric Balcavage interviews Nagina Abdullah about why traditional weight loss approaches fail for women with thyroid issues, especially in midlife. Nagina shares her personal journey from yo-yo dieting to losing 40 pounds using metabolism-focused strategies and reveals the framework she's used to help 1600+ women.   Key Topics Covered: Why "calories in, calories out" doesn't work in midlife How perimenopause changes metabolism and increases inflammation  The role of stress, sleep, and under-eating in weight gain  Nagina's "Tested & Perfected Fat Burning Food Framework"  Specific macro ratios: 40% protein, 35% healthy fats, 25% healthy carbs  When to use advanced strategies like "feeding up" and intermittent fasting  Why thyroid patients need digestive support and adequate carbohydrates The connection between liver function and T4 to T3 conversion Perfect for: Women over 40 struggling with weight despite "doing everything right," especially those with thyroid conditions seeking practical, science-based nutrition strategies.   Nagina Abdullah is the founder of MasalaBody. She is the metabolism expert for midlife women who feel like their bodies have turned against them. When nothing else works, she helps them fire up their metabolism, burn stubborn fat, and finally see results. After maintaining a 40-pound weight loss for over a decade, she used her Bloat Busting Protocol to shed 14 pounds of perimenopause weight. With a degree in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley & an MBA from NYU, she blends scientific research with practical strategies to help midlife women boost their metabolism, shed stubborn weight, and create a sustainable, healthy lifestyle. While most midlife women are told to "eat less and exercise more," Nagina does the opposite. She replaces restriction with metabolism-boosting foods that melt belly fat & make healthy living effortless. Her proven methods have helped 1,600+ women finally break free from stubborn midlife weight, without frustration or deprivation.   Guest Links & Resources: 

This week's EYE ON NPI is tick tock o'clock, it's the Abracon Real-Time Clock with Integrated 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/a/abracon/real-time-clock-with-integrated-32-768-khz-crystal-oscillator). It's a tiny and affordable all-in-one RTC that has everything ya want, and nothin' ya don't. With it's compact package size, it's half the BOM size of what most RTC's need, and has a high quality Abracon crystal (https://www.digikey.com/en/supplier-centers/abracon) already included! We've been using Abracon (https://www.digikey.com/en/supplier-centers/abracon) crystals and oscillators in our designs for decades - for example a 12.288 MHz Crystal (https://www.digikey.com/short/w2qvtnbr) adorns our VS1053 breakout board (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1381). That's not the only thing they're good at, but it's the name recognition they've got as a trusted supplier of quality, affordable crystals and oscillators. So it was not surprising for us to learn that they now have an integrated-crystal real time clock chip for sale. Real time clock chips are specialty low-cost chips that keep track of 'real time' (e.g. the month, day, year, hour, minute, second) so that the rest of the system can go into shutdown mode or lose power, without losing track of time. They also often have alarms so that the system can reboot out of deep sleep to perform some task at an assigned delay or timestamp. As you might expect, the important characteristics to look for in an RTC are accuracy - how close their internal timekeeping is to true time - and power draw - how long they can run off the secondary power source such as a super-cap or coin cell battery (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/panasonic-energy/CR-1025-BN/269738). There's other characteristics that you may care about: the voltage range they can power off of, whether they support a secondary battery backup with auto-switchover, and of course the interface and capabilities like alarms The AB-RTC-XB-32.768KHZ-2-T3 (https://www.digikey.com/short/tp4tjzqz) has many of the things we like to look for in an RTC. First, is a standard I2C interface - most RTCs are, and this makes it easy to add to any microcontroller or microcomputer. Second is a wide operating voltage range for power and logic: 1.2V to 5.5V with both a power and IO power pad! That means it's great even for low voltage cores or 5V Arduino-compatibles, and you can have separate voltages if desired. Alongside those two pins there's also a separate VBat pin for backup battery with auto-switchover. That means when the main power cuts off, say because USB got unplugged, or the main Lipoly battery is drained, we'll switch over to a coin cell or super-cap. Of course, the big feature of this RTC is the built-in crystal. By integrating directly, they're able to have an SMT chip with no external crystal in a 3.2 x 2.5mm package - the same size as most crystals! According to the datasheet, the crystal has a 5 ±23ppm frequency stability at room temp 25℃. That translates to 28 ppm max: 86,400 × (28/1,000,000) = 2.42 seconds gain/loss per day. At the typical 'best case' of 5ppm, its 86,400 × (5/1,000,000) = 0.432 seconds per day. That's in-line with most RTC crystal specifications, although it wouldn't be considered 'high precision' since its not temperature compensated. Temp compensation is much more complex and expected, and most RTCs will get auto-sync from the controller via WiFi/BT/GPS to apply correction every day~month to get them back on track. If you need a compact real time clock with a flexible power supply setup and Abracon-quality crystal, the AB-RTC-XB-32.768KHZ-2-T3 (https://www.digikey.com/short/tp4tjzqz) is an excellent new product offering that's available and in stock at DigiKey right now! Order today and before your morning alarm goes off you'll have this chip in hand and ready to integrate into your next product design.

In this in-depth episode of Thyroid Shorts, Dr. Eric Balcavage addresses one of the most misunderstood aspects of thyroid physiology: T4 to T3 conversion problems.   What You'll Learn: Why conventional medicine ignores conversion issues and focuses only on TSH The critical difference between "broken" physiology vs. adaptive responses How deiodinase enzymes (D1, D2, D3) actually control thyroid hormone conversion Why your body might be intentionally reducing T4 to T3 conversion The real reasons behind elevated reverse T3 levels Why T3 medication often backfires and creates more problems Practical steps to naturally improve conversion through addressing root causes Dr. Balcavage explains how reduced T4 to T3 conversion isn't a malfunction—it's often your body's intelligent response to cellular stress, inflammation, or danger signals. Instead of forcing conversion with medication, he advocates for identifying and addressing the underlying stressors through his Strategic Thyroid Solution approach.   Key Topics: Thyroid conversion, T4 to T3, functional medicine, reverse T3, deiodinase enzymes, cellular physiology, stress response, inflammation, homeostasis vs allostasis   Resources Mentioned: The Thyroid Debacle book Free discovery calls at DrEricBalcavage.com Thyroid Recovery Blueprint Perfect for anyone struggling with hypothyroid symptoms despite "normal" labs or those on T3 medication without lasting results.

Welcome to episode #229 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we cover the final weekend of CDL matches at COD Champs, and we have a lot to discuss. This COD Champs will go down as one of the most unpredictable, and honestly the most upset-filled in recent memory. With our prior major winners bowing out after only a couple matches of play, we cover what happened to these two teams, and cover the path as to what was needed for them to get a top placing at the biggest event of the year. Of all the teams to make a run, the Boston Breach made an impressive run to finish T3 at champs! We share our thoughts on this teams run, and what this means for their future. Finally, we cover our thoughts going into EWC as to what these teams will look like going into it. Will teams make a change, or will they wait until after BO6? What did you think about the grand finals at champs? Did you predict it, or was your bracket completely ruined like ours? Do you think this cements OpTic's players as some of the greatest ever? Finally, what do you think about the Boston Breach and their T3 finish? Was it luck, or have they shown that they need to stick together for BO7? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

Is your Synthroid (T4) prescription quietly sabotaging your health or maybe even worse? Is it hiking up your cancer risk? In this episode, I rip apart the social media fear-mongering and take you on a science-backed deep dive through the headline making claims about Levothyroxine, Synthroid, and all things T4. You'll hear the truth behind those scary “T4 causes cancer” statements, what the research actually says, and why so many docs lean on T4-only treatments that can leave you fat, foggy, and, yes, increased risk for cancer if they're not paying attention to critical lab markers like reverse T3.

In today's world, many people struggle with weight gain, a slow metabolism, brain fog, and difficulty building muscle, despite healthy diets and exercise. Health expert Sarah Banta says the cause is often in thyroid and liver health. Her insights, shared on a podcast with Wade Lightheart, highlight how these organs regulate metabolism, fat burning, and muscle building. When these organs are not working well due to toxins, stress, or poor nutrition, the body may have trouble losing fat and gaining muscle. Thyroid: Metabolic Master Switch The thyroid controls how the body makes energy. It affects our metabolism, body temperature, fat burning, mental clarity, mood, and hormone balance. Sarah notes that many people might have thyroid issues, even if tests look normal. Symptoms of a struggling thyroid include slow metabolism, fat gain, cold hands and feet, brain fog, fatigue, and muscle loss. Thyroid issues can prevent effective fat burning, no matter the diet or exercise. Liver: Metabolic Role The thyroid and liver work together. The liver converts inactive thyroid hormone (T4) to the active form (T3). If the liver is slow or congested, this conversion suffers, slowing down the thyroid. Modern lifestyles burden the liver with toxins, processed foods, and stress. This can lead to fat gain, slow metabolism, and hormonal imbalances. Liver stress can reduce thyroid and overall metabolic function. Iodine's Essential Role Iodine is important for thyroid function and every cell in the body. Many people are iodine deficient due to depleted soils, microplastics in salt, and competition from other chemicals. Iodine helps produce thyroid hormones, supports brain function, cellular energy, immune defense, and hormonal balance. It also helps detoxify heavy metals. Optimal iodine dosing is needed to overcome deficiency and remove toxins. Liver Detox for Results An overloaded liver can block fat burning, impair thyroid conversion, cause insulin resistance, and interfere with protein absorption. Sarah's approach uses herbs to stimulate bile flow, support detox, break down fatty liver, and optimize metabolism. Key ingredients include Milk Thistle and other herbs that help with liver health. A healthy liver allows the body to burn fat and build muscle safely. In this podcast you'll learn... Why iodine deficiency is a true health crisis. What are the causes of unexplained weight gain are. What the hidden causes of Insulin Resistance are. If you can burn fat and build muscle at the same time. How the spike protein affected our health. How thyroid health affects mental health.   EPISODE RESOURCES: Website Instagram LinkedIn

Episode #208 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: Do you think healthy individuals should take a daily multivitamin? [04:40] I am a 300-pound male and usually have about 20g of protein a day when I fat fast. If I have more, I can't stick with it. I've found that before I do a 66 (two per week), I need about 140-200g of protein the day before in order to complete the fast. In other words, doing a fat fast right before my fast doesn't hold me and I binge. Is there anything wrong with doing this? [05:50] What is the best way to extend a fast when someone has a history of gout? [11:40] What is your opinion on Dr. Roy Taylor's work about the pancreas not really being burned out but clogged with fat so the beta cells cannot function properly? [12:51] If someone has a high LP(a) of over 200, but their Trigs:HDL ratio is 1:1, then don't worry, but what about plasmapheresis for Lp(a)? [14:19]  Will younger people respond quicker to IF than older people? [15:45] I've read the science behind creatine and the many benefits to your muscles (I weight train) and your brain, and recently purchased a high quality brand. Creatine doesn't contain protein, it's a naturally occurring compound made from amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine, so will it prevent autophagy? [17:15] If instead of adding MCT oil to the morning coffee we would take an omega pill instead, which of these might have less of an insulin release? [19:49] TFM's Book Club is reading Dr. Christopher Palmer's “Brain Energy” this month. He covers the metabolic theory of mental health, specifically with regards to mitochondrial health and optimal brain-energy metabolism impacting our prefrontal cortex function. Can you talk about this ‘hidden in plain sight' mental metabolic disorder of the brain, showing the progressive degeneration of the prefrontal cortex seen so rampant in our culture today? [21:21] What kind of fasting protocol can be done for someone considered to be a TOFI and doesn't want to lose too much weight? [25:34] There's some conflicting research on how keto and fasting affects T3 levels. For individuals with low T3 production, do you recommend a specific keto or fasting approach and are there any important considerations?

I'm pulling back the curtain on “the silent epidemic” that your doctors (and the nightly news) are avoiding like the plague: undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, and downright dismissed thyroid dysfunction. With over 20 million Americans on thyroid meds (and millions more suffering in silence), I lay out exactly why being foggy, fat, and fatigued isn't “just getting older”, it's your body whispering (and then screaming) for help. We get into the medical gaslighting that keeps you trapped in a body that doesn't feel like your own, debunk why “normal labs” mean nothing, and why that 2 pm energy crash and sudden hair loss are NOT about willpower or Red Bulls. I'm getting real about the failures of cookie cutter medicine and the dangers of those "one size fits all" telehealth clinics. Your thyroid deserves more than being funneled through an algorithm! You'll hear why early and optimal testing are game-changers (hint: TSH is NOT a thyroid hormone), how untreated thyroid issues can spiral into diabetes, infertility, and even cognitive decline, and why no amount of green smoothies or meditation will magically replenish depleted T3. If you're ready to turn whispers into answers, demand real help, and reclaim your energy, this eye-opening episode is your first step out of thyroid limbo.

In Episode 7 of the Thyroid Answers Shorts hypothyroidism podcast, Dr. Eric covers the Thyroid Hormone - GLP-1 Trap. Are you struggling with weight gain, blood sugar issues, severe constipation, and crushing fatigue despite having "optimized" thyroid labs? You might be caught in the GLP-1 trap. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage reveals the dangerous cascade that occurs when we override the body's protective mechanisms with thyroid medications and GLP-1 drugs. What You'll Learn: How GLP-1 (the body's natural metabolic coordinator) depends on proper thyroid function Why thyroid allostasis is protective, not pathological The metabolic mismatch created when forcing "optimal" labs during cellular stress How T4 and T3 medications can worsen GLP-1 signaling in allostatic states Why combining thyroid "optimization" with GLP-1 drugs creates a perfect metabolic storm The shocking truth about where your body gets glucose when both sources are blocked Warning signs you're trapped in this dangerous cycle Key Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction: The Thyroid - GLP-1 Trap 1:58 - What is GLP-1 and how it regulates metabolism 4:06 - How T3 supports GLP-1 production in homeostasis 6:58 - Thyroid allostasis: Your body's protective response 10:08 - Why "optimized" thyroid labs don't fix the problem 13:24 - The metabolic trap: Where does glucose come from? 16:03 - Warning signs you're caught in this cycle 17:04 - The solution: Addressing root causes, not forcing optimization Key Insight: When GLP-1 medications block glucose intake and production in someone with thyroid allostasis (who can't efficiently burn fat or produce ketones), the body turns to muscle catabolism and inefficient metabolic pathways, leading to muscle wasting and worsening fatigue despite "better" labs. This episode challenges both conventional and functional medicine approaches, showing why restoration trumps optimization every time. Perfect for: Anyone on thyroid medication not working as expected, those with hypothyroidism considering GLP-1 medications, functional medicine thyroid patients, and practitioners who want to understand the deeper metabolic connections. Remember: Your body isn't broken - it's adapting to protect you. The solution isn't to override these mechanisms, but to address what's driving your body into this protective state. www.drericbalcavage.com

Your thyroid is not just “another hormone”—it's the maestro that sets the tempo for your whole body, and it especially needs love as progesterone drops in perimenopause. But here's the problem: so many practitioners still miss the real story. If all you've had checked is your TSH and you were told “it's normal,” you could still be sidelined by sluggish thyroid symptoms—because so much more is happening under the surface. A full thyroid panel really matters. That means pushing for TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies. But it doesn't stop with testing. You need someone looking at your labs with a functional lens (the ‘optimal' prevention-focused ranges, not just “fine for the average population”) and someone who understands the nuances—like how stress, inflammation, and gut health all play a role in your thyroid feeling sluggish. Here is what we cover in this episode: Top Symptoms of Hypothyroidism: Think constipation, hair loss (even in your brows!), feeling chilly all the time, low libido, dry skin, stubborn bloating, and more. If you nod along to two or more, this episode is for you! Why “Normal” Thyroid Labs Can Still Mean Trouble: Many women have labs that come back “normal,” yet their symptoms scream otherwise. I explain why that happens and what labs you actually need. What a Full Thyroid Panel Really Looks Like: Most practitioners aren't running the full panel! I spell it out for you (hint: it's more than just TSH and T4). Reverse T3—The Missing Piece: This marker is rarely tested, but it tells you if your thyroid hormone is actually getting into your cells where it belongs, or if it's being blocked! The Role of Gut Health and Minerals: If you want lasting thyroid health (and overall well-being), you have to zero in on gut health and the minerals your thyroid loves—spoiler: copper is way more important than you think!   You may also enjoy this episode: EPISODE 43: All about thyroid health with Annabel Bateman EPISODE 114: Thyroid health in midlife: post-illness autoimmunity/hypothyroidism, why TSH will rise with iodine & this is OK, progesterone & thyroid health & more!   LIVE TRAINING: The Perimenopause Reset: From Exhausted to Energised.

Welcome back to another Thyroid Thursday episode on the She Talks Health podcast! Today, we're addressing a listener's question about the potential risks of osteoporosis and scoliosis in individuals with low thyroid function or hypothyroidism. To help answer this question, I share some of my personal insights on how thyroid hormones like T3 and T4 impact bone metabolism. We'll explore how both under-treatment and over-treatment of thyroid conditions can affect bone health, which could to an increased risk of osteoporosis. Additionally, I discuss the potential impacts of hypothyroidism on bone growth during adolescence and the importance of mineral balancing for overall bone health. For those interested in assessing and supporting their bone health through nutritional and lifestyle adjustments, I always recommend the hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) test to get deeper insights into your overall health. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you in the next episode!If you have a question you'd like me to discuss on the next Thyroid Thursday, please email me at podcast@shetalkshealth.com or sophie@shetalkshealth.com or DM me on Instagram @shetalkshealth.

For some, the path to motherhood comes with unexpected thyroid challenges—and understanding those hidden imbalances can make all the difference. In this Save My Thyroid Health Audit, Jenny shares her journey with Hashimoto's and secondary infertility, two challenges that often go hand in hand but are rarely talked about together. Despite being told her thyroid levels were “normal,” deeper testing revealed elevated antibodies and imbalances that standard panels missed. We walked through the key tests that matter (from T3 and T4) to functional medicine insights on gut health, stress, and hormone metabolism. We explore how addressing root causes, not just lab numbers—can open new possibilities for healing and conception. Tune in to learn how getting the right tests and asking the right questions can move you closer to healing.Episode Timeline: 0:00 - Episode Overview1:45 - Podcast Intro2:17 - Welcoming Jenny to the Podcast3:10 - Jenny Navigates Secondary Infertility3:24 - Initial OB Visit and TSH Concerns4:04 - Referral to a Reproductive Endocrinologist5:20 - Diagnosis: Hashimoto's and Mild Hypothyroidism6:08 - How Jenny Found Dr. Eric Osanski7:09 - Challenges with Blood Work and Thyroid Testing8:02 - The Importance of T3 and T4 in Thyroid Testing9:17 - Understanding Antibodies and Their Role in Fertility11:24 - Addressing T4 to T3 Conversion Issues12:13 - The Role of the Liver and Gut in T4 to T3 Conversion12:45 - Jenny's Frustration with Rising TPO Antibodies13:34 - The Challenge of Normalizing Antibodies13:58 - The Importance of Diet, Lifestyle, and Identifying Triggers14:22 - Have You Done Any Functional Medicine Testing?15:12 - Jenny's Experience and Interest in Functional Medicine Testing16:14 - Balancing Blood Sugar and Addressing Gut and Liver Health16:46 - Understanding Liver Function and Thyroid Medication17:36 - Minimizing Exposure to Environmental Toxins18:27 - Addressing Iron and Nutrient Deficiencies in Thyroid Health19:02 - Exploring the Role of B12 in Thyroid Health20:28 - Jenny's Focus on Sleep and Stress Management21:52 - Testing for Adrenal Health and Hormonal Imbalances23:19 - The Importance of Functional Medicine Testing for Gut and Adrenal Health24:10 - Next Steps: Diet, Stress Management, and Functional Medicine Testing25:23 - Final Words of Support for Jenny's Journey26:34 - Final Thanks for Jenny's Insights26:52 - Podcast Outro27:13 - Episode Takeaways and ConclusionMentioned in this Episode: Dr. Eric' BooksNatural Treatment Solutions for Hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease Amazon.com: The Hyperthyroid Healing Diet: Reverse Hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease and Save Your Thyroid Through Diet and Lifestyle Changes Hashimoto's Triggers: Eliminate Your Thyroid Symptoms By Finding And Removing Your Specific Autoimmune TriggersFree resources for your thyroid healthGet your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at Do You Want Help Saving Your Thyroid?

Join The First Lady of Nutrition as she engages in a fascinating conversation with Elwin Robinson, the visionary founder of Genetic Insights—a next-level DNA analysis company that's lightyears ahead of the rest. If you've ever felt caught in a cycle of symptoms without real solutions, this eye-opening interview will shift your entire perspective on health and healing. Elwin reveals how his team of scientists and AI engineers analyzes over 200 million genetic variations, delivering 500+ in-depth reports covering everything from hormone health and food intolerances to nutrient deficiencies and lab markers in one of the most comprehensive, inexpensive DNA tests on the market today. After interviewing Elwin, Ann Louise took the test herself—and what impressed her most was its ability to pinpoint which nutrients an individual is genetically most deficient in. That is how she knew to take orthomolecular doses of lysine and glycine—and how she was introduced to time-released T3 to support her low thyroid. You'll discover how small, targeted changes based on your unique DNA can lead to big breakthroughs in your health. Elwin shares compelling real-life success stories that show just how powerful it can be to address even the most basic nutritional gaps. This is the future of personalized wellness—don't miss it!

In this illuminating conversation with Dr. Eric Osansky, we explore how this mighty gland affects virtually everything in your body—from metabolism and weight to mood, energy, and even hair growth.Drawing from both personal and clinical experience, Dr. Osansky and I unpack the intricate connections between thyroid health, sex hormones, and aging well. As someone who navigated thyroid cancer at 41 and now menopause without a thyroid gland, I've witnessed firsthand how crucial optimized thyroid function is for vibrant health.  What happens when your thyroid function shifts during perimenopause and menopause? Not a lot of practitioners connect the thyroid changes to perimenopause and menopause and Dr. Eric and I get into it.  We challenge the conventional approach of relying solely on TSH testing, explaining why comprehensive assessment including free T3, free T4, and antibodies provides a more complete picture. You'll discover why stress might be your thyroid's worst enemy, how digestive health impacts hormone function, and which key nutrients support this essential gland.Whether you're dealing with unexplained weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, or other symptoms often dismissed as "just menopause," this episode offers clarity on what might actually be happening beneath the surface. Dr. Osansky shares insights from his personal journey overcoming Graves' disease naturally and his extensive work helping others with both hyper and hypothyroid conditions.Ready to understand your body better and take charge of your hormonal health?

Listen while I break down the truth bomb that thyroid optimization is actually easy—when you know what you're doing! If you've ever felt lost in the maze of weight that won't budge, midday crashes, or endless hair shedding and your labs keep coming back “normal,” this one's for you. I'll walk you through the essentials, from the critical labs (hello, free T3 and reverse T3) to why T4-only therapy is basically a fairytale for most of us. It all starts with the right testing—if your doctor isn't running the full panel or caps your T3, run! And don't even get me started on cookie-cutter, algorithm-driven clinics. I'll even dive into why hormones—estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—can make or break your thyroid game, and how true optimization blends both thyroid and hormones for next-level results. You'll hear some tough truths, lots of hope, and actionable steps to help you advocate for yourself, ditch that negative self-talk, and finally live in "optimization land." No more guessing games, just clear, nerdy fun—because this is about YOU taking charge and thriving.
