TSH: The Most Misunderstood Thyroid Lab — 25 Questions, Answered If you've been told your TSH is "normal" but you still feel exhausted, foggy, inflamed, or hypothyroid — this episode is for you. In this deep-dive Q&A episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage answers 25 of the most common and misunderstood questions about TSH, the lab marker most often used — and misused — in thyroid care. You'll learn: What TSH actually measures (and what it doesn't) Why TSH can go up in some stress states and down in others How inflammation, stress, sleep, dieting, and medication timing distort TSH Why "normal" TSH doesn't guarantee healthy thyroid function How to tell true hypothyroidism from adaptive physiology Why chasing TSH often keeps people stuck How thyroid medications affect TSH differently (T4 vs T3) Why tissue hypothyroidism can exist even when labs look "fine" This episode is designed for: Patients frustrated by "normal labs" Clinicians who want better thyroid interpretation Anyone trying to understand thyroid physiology beyond numbers

It's now 2026 and if you want to move your thyroid health forward, this episode will help you rethink where to focus.In this episode, I share ten (10) healing priorities for Graves' disease and Hashimoto's to focus on as we settle into the new year. We talk about why stress management and nervous system support remain foundational, how extreme fasting can actually slow progress, and why small, consistent adjustments tend to be more sustainable and more effective than drastic changes.I also address common questions about foods like cruciferous vegetables, explain the role of gut health through my 5R framework, and discuss why vitamin D and omega-3 levels matter. This isn't about doing everything at once. It's about choosing a few priorities and building from there.If you're starting the year looking for a steadier, more realistic approach to thyroid healing, this episode will set you straight in that direction.Episode Timeline:00:03 – Why These Tips Matter in 202601:10 – Take Stress More Seriously05:20 – Support the Nervous System08:55 – Avoid Extreme Fasting11:45 – Go to Bed Earlier13:40 – Reduce Microplastics and Glyphosate16:20 – Eating Broccoli Without Fear18:05 – The 5R Gut Healing Approach20:35 – Optimize Vitamin D and Omega-3s22:45 – Always Support the Immune System24:10 – Work With an Experienced Practitioner25:45 – How to Pace These Changes  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?

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:

Know some shocking truths about thyroid disorder you might have missed to note. 

In this powerful throwback episode, we revisit one of the most meaningful and eye-opening conversations I've had on the homestead. I sat down with Dr. Shannyn Pearce to talk about what's really going on underneath the struggles so many women face — thyroid issues, adrenal overload, hormone imbalance, and the subtle warning signs that often go unnoticed. We dig into the everyday symptoms many of us tend to brush off: fatigue, unexplained weight gain, mood swings, inflammation, and food sensitivities. I share parts of my own journey, including how I got off thyroid medication, uncovered hidden food reactions, and learned to listen to my body in a deeper, more intentional way. Dr. Shannyn also explains why individualized lab work matters, how "normal" ranges don't always reflect what's optimal for you, and how adrenal and hormonal shifts can quietly influence your well-being long before bigger issues surface. Most importantly, this episode focuses on real, actionable steps — from managing stress and removing inflammatory foods to supporting the adrenals and giving your body the time and grace it needs to heal. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything "right" yet still don't feel like yourself, this conversation will give you clarity, hope, and a practical path forward.

Chronic fatigue is one of the most common complaints among women, especially after the holidays. But is it really your thyroid? In this episode, Dr. Kris explains how adrenal stress and disrupted cortisol rhythms can interfere with thyroid function, leaving women exhausted even when lab tests appear normal. You'll learn how to recognize adrenal-driven fatigue, why January “resets” often backfire, and how rest and nourishment are essential for healing. God designed the body to restore — not to live in survival mode.

In this Part 2 of our 2-part podcast series on thyroid emergencies Anton, Dr. George Willis and Dr. Alyssa Louis answer questions such as: When a patient presents with “sepsis without a source,” what bedside features should trigger you to prioritize thyrotoxicosis? How can PoCUS help you decide whether tachycardia is dangerous — or lifesaving — before starting β-blockade? Why can TSH and free T4 be falsely reassuring in a crashing patient, and what labs actually matter early? In which patients does propranolol increase the risk of cardiovascular collapse — and why is esmolol the safer first line medication? Why does the order β-blocker → thionamide → steroid → iodine matter, and what happens if you get it wrong? When is not giving a β-blocker the safest decision in thyroid storm, even in a profoundly tachycardic patient? In an agitated, hyperthermic patient with thyrotoxicosis, why might intubation be more dangerous than helpful in the first hour? How does amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis fundamentally change your management — and why can iodine make it worse? and many more...

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.

How do you know if it's really your cortisol causing symptoms like exhaustion, burnout, low mood, or low libido? How do you know if it's adrenal insufficiency, adrenal dysfunction, or something else entirely? In this episode, I break down exactly how to tell the difference between low cortisol and high cortisol, why symptoms overlap with thyroid issues and other hormone imbalances, and why guessing or treating blindly can actually make things worse. What I Cover in This Episode • The difference between adrenal function vs cortisol output • Why blood, saliva, and urine cortisol tests tell very different stories • Why DUTCH testing shows the full picture of adrenal function and cortisol metabolism • Common low cortisol symptoms, including – Extreme fatigue and burnout – Low motivation and low mood – Feeling "overcast" instead of like yourself – Low libido (even with normal testosterone) – Dizziness when standing, heart racing, weakness – Sleep issues that don't improve with rest • Why these symptoms are often confused with – Thyroid dysfunction – Low testosterone – Low estrogen or DHEA – Neurotransmitter imbalances – Gut issues, blood sugar problems, dehydration, or histamine issues • Why women are often told to "just be less stressed" when their systems are actually running on empty • Why taking the wrong supplement for cortisol can pour gas on the fire • How stress, sleep loss, life changes, and overtraining can stall healing even when you're "doing everything right" Without the right testing, it's like being lost in the woods with the wrong map. DUTCH testing shows us where you are, what systems are struggling, and what needs support first so your body can actually recover. Once we know what your system needs, herbal tinctures can be powerful tools during the healing process, especially for adrenal and nervous system support. Tinctures are not meant to be a forever crutch. They are part of a strategic phase to help calm the stress response, support cortisol regulation, and give your body the resources it needs to stabilize so deeper healing can happen. If you are feeling • Wired but exhausted • Burned out and flat • Emotionally fragile • Unable to recover from stress • Or like your body just won't respond anymore Targeted adrenal and nervous system tinctures can help bridge the gap while you address sleep, nutrition, gut health, and lifestyle foundations. To support you as you move into the New Year, we're offering: 10% off all tinctures + FREE shipping Use code: NEWYEAR Valid Dec 30 - Jan 2 This is a great time to give your nervous system and adrenals some extra support while you work on the bigger picture.

In this powerful follow-up conversation, I sit down again with Stephen McConnell Msc to unpack the real causes of kidney disease, why the thyroid is deeply involved, and how lifestyle factors like alcohol and uric acid quietly drive damage long before symptoms appear. This is the perfect continuation to help fill in any gaps from our first conversation (go listen if you haven't already). This episode is essential listening if you or someone you love has kidney issues, gout, thyroid dysfunction, or unexplained metabolic symptoms. In this episode, we discuss: • How kidney disease should really be diagnosed • The different stages of kidney disease and what they mean • Why African-Americans experience kidney disease at much higher rates • Foamy or bubbly urine as a sign of protein loss and kidney stress • The critical thyroid–kidney connection that is very much overlooked • Why up to 90% of stage 4 kidney disease patients are hypothyroid • How niacin supports deiodinase activity and T4 → T3 conversion • How modern lifestyle habits increase acidity and damage kidney tissue • Alcohol as a metabolic and renal toxin ☠️ • Natural strategies for lowering uric acid and improving gout, including methylfolate, colchicine seeds and tart cherry extract This conversation connects dots most people and many practitioners never look at. We think you will enjoy this, let us know in the comments. Stephen D.

I sit down with Izabella Wentz to unpack why thyroid dysfunction is so often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated. We'll explore why most "low thyroid" cases are actually autoimmune in nature, how gut health, liver detoxification, stress, and toxins drive symptoms long before labs turn abnormal, and why so many people feel terrible despite being told their tests are "normal." This conversation is a deep dive into systems-based healing, designed to help you recognize red flags, ask better questions, and understand when self-experimentation ends and professional support becomes essential.   TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: Why thyroid hormones affect every cell in the body The difference between Hashimoto's vs labs your doctor calls normal.. when it IS NOT NORMAL. Autoimmunity and the domino effect of chronic disease The link between gut infections, parasites, and thyroid dysfunction The risks and benefits of things like Liver detoxes, the role of toxins, and why you might be so chemically sensitive Vital nutrients for thyroid function The dangers of Gluten and immune cross-reactivity Intestinal permeability (leaky gut) and how it can trash your thyroid Stress, cortisol, and thyroid hormone conversion How to know when it's time for professional help   More from Dr. Izabella Wentz Instagram: @izabellawentzpharmd YouTube: @ThyroidPharmacist Podcast: Thyroid Pharmacist - Healing Conversations Website: thyroidpharmacist.com Contact: https://thyroidpharmacist.com/contact/     Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

So many people with Hashimoto's carry emotional patterns they don't even realize are affecting their thyroid. Today we take a closer look at the invisible habits we learn early in life, the ones that quietly shape how safe we feel being ourselves.Sometimes you minimize what hurt you. Sometimes you feel responsible for other people's reactions. Sometimes you stop trusting your own knowing, even when your body is nudging you in the right direction. These patterns may seem emotional on the surface, but they create real physiological stress, and your thyroid feels every bit of it.This episode explores why these habits form, how they show up in everyday situations, and why the thyroid is uniquely sensitive to self-expression, boundaries, and inner trust. You will see how simple shifts in awareness can help your body feel safer, calmer, and more supported from the inside out.If you have ever felt like you disappear inside your own life, or like your voice gets quieter when you need it most, this conversation will help you reconnect to yourself in a deeper way. Your thyroid responds to that connection, and you may be surprised how much changes when you begin to honor what you truly feel.Healing is not only biochemical, it  is also emotional, energetic, and rooted in how you relate to yourself every day. For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/thyroid-labs-hashimotos/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

What if part of your fatigue, brain fog, or poor recovery isn't coming from training or nutrition—but from your environment? Coach Chris Newport sits down with Jen Heller, host of the Homes That Heal podcast, to explore how our home environments impact detoxification, sleep, nervous system regulation, and long-term health.Jen shares her powerful personal journey—from heavy metal toxicity and thyroid dysfunction to infrared sauna therapy, environmental detox, and ultimately redefining what it means to truly heal.We discuss:How heavy metals and environmental toxins affect the bodyInfrared vs traditional saunas for detox and recoveryWhy sleep and digital detox are non-negotiable for healingEMFs, light exposure, and nervous system overloadSimple ways to turn your home into a healing sanctuaryWhy “getting back to basics” may be the most powerful strategyThis episode is a must-listen for athletes, high performers, and anyone looking to improve energy, recovery, and resilience from the inside out.Get more details here: 

What if your weight struggles, cravings, emotional eating, and stubborn belly fat were never about discipline — but about stress?In this episode, I'm breaking down the one hormone that quietly controls your metabolism, hunger signals, fat storage, emotional regulation, and eating behaviors — your stress hormone.This conversation goes far beyond food rules and diet culture and into the real driver of self-sabotage: your nervous system state.In This Episode, I'll Teach You:Why Cortisol Is the Master HormoneCortisol isn't the enemy — it's your body's survival hormone. But when it stays elevated, your body shifts into protection mode, prioritizing survival over fat release, digestion, and emotional regulation.When cortisol is high:Metabolism slowsCravings increaseHunger hormones riseSatiety signals shut downFat storage is favoredYour body isn't broken — it's responding exactly the way it was designed to.How Chronic Stress Drives Emotional EatingI explain how constant stress — emotional, psychological, physical, or environmental — creates a cycle of:Blood sugar spikes and crashesIntense cravings“Out of control” eating momentsShame and self-blameAnd why trying to diet from this state only makes the cycle worse.The Hidden Reason Willpower FailsWhen cortisol is elevated, the prefrontal cortex goes offline — the part of your brain responsible for logic, decision-making, and restraint.That's why you can know exactly what to do… and still feel unable to stop.This isn't a character flaw — it's biology.How Cortisol Impacts Other HormonesYou'll hear how chronic stress disrupts:Thyroid hormones → slowed metabolismInsulin → blood sugar chaos and fat storageEstrogen → PMS, PCOS symptoms, water retentionMuscle tissue → metabolic slowdownWhen one hormone becomes dysregulated, it creates a cascade throughout the entire body.Why Weight Gain Often Shows Up in Your 40sIt's not “just menopause.”This phase of life often comes with:Increased emotional responsibilityCaregiving stressLoss, grief, or major life transitionsThe nervous system adapts to chronic survival mode — and the body responds accordingly.How to Begin Regulating CortisolHealing doesn't start with harder workouts or stricter diets.It starts with:Nervous system safetyThought awarenessReducing perfectionismNourishment (not restriction)Rest and recoveryAddressing unresolved emotional stressHealth truly begins from the shoulders up.Key TakeawaysCortisol isn't bad — chronic stress isFat loss begins with stress regulation, not restrictionEmotional eating is a symptom, not a failureHealing the stress response changes everythingClosing ReminderYour body is not working against you.It's responding to stress the only way it knows how.When you create safety — everything changes.Listen to more episodes at makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and YouTube.Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.com Work with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transform Go deeper: www.makepeacewithfood.com Share your biggest takeaway and tag me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn

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.

Arianna knew something wasn't right with her cycle, but when she went to her doctor, they just prescribed birth control. It didn't work. So they added a second form of birth control. Then, a third! Without ever getting to the underlying issue causing the issue in the first place. Finally, she had had enough. The journey she took from that point is an inspiration to us all.

Are you over 40 or 50 and struggling with belly fat, low energy, stubborn weight gain, and being told "it's just your age"? I'm here to tell you - that is absolute rubbish. I'm 57 years old, with visible abs, balanced hormones, high energy, low inflammation, and I train 85% less than when I was running ultra-marathons. This video reveals the exact science-based blueprint I used to transform my body — and how you can do it too. After decades battling eating disorders, hormone chaos, inflammation, and even gaining weight while running 52 marathons in 42 days, everything changed when I discovered genetics, epigenetics, functional medicine, and immune ageing. In this video, you'll learn: Why long cardio makes menopause belly fat worse The hormone shifts after 50 that change everything Why inflammation (not calories) controls fat loss The tests every woman over 40 should get How to build muscle and boost metabolism after 50 How to fix insulin resistance, the key to visible abs Why cortisol and stress block fat loss The toxins ("obesogens") that keep fat cells locked How personalised genetics create predictable results Topics Covered: Hormonal balance and belly fat after menopause Metabolism optimisation and reversing aging Inflammation, immune system ageing, and weight gain Insulin resistance and cortisol management over 50 Strength training and building muscle after menopause Longevity and biohacking for women 50+ Functional medicine and epigenetics in fat loss Healthy ageing strategies for women At 57, I have better health, fitness, skin, and energy than I did in my 20s — not because of luck, but because of science that works for real women after 50.  If you want your own personalised blueprint, reach out at support@lisatamati.com You are NOT too old. Your best body is NOT behind you. Let's redefine what's possible!  

If you're living with Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism and struggling with fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, or symptoms that just won't budge (no matter how "clean" you eat) this episode is for you. Discover the powerful gut-thyroid connection and why healing your gut could be the missing link to feeling like yourself again. Inspired by one of the best books I've read in 2025, Super Gut by Dr. William Davis, this episode breaks down how common gut issues like leaky gut, SIBO, and microbial imbalances fuel autoimmune thyroid disease and affect far more than digestion. You'll learn why so many confusing symptoms aren't about willpower or bad luck, but about physiology—and most importantly, how to start healing intentionally with clear, actionable steps. Key Topics Covered Why gut dysfunction is extremely common in Hashimoto's and autoimmune conditions How leaky gut and microbial imbalance impact thyroid hormones, immune function, mood, energy, skin, joints, and nutrient absorption How targeted gut healing can support thyroid recovery and reduce autoimmune flare-ups Thank you for listening—here's to better gut health and a happier thyroid!   Resources Mentioned Book: Super Gut by Dr. William Davis - Buy the book at your local bookstore or on Amazon: https://amzn.to/454fWsk The Holistic Hashimoto's Program   JOIN THE HEALTH WITH HASHIMOTO'S COMMUNITY Unlock your wellness journey with the free Health with Hashimoto's community!

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:

What if the words we use about “disease” are the very net that keeps us sick? We dig into how language molds perception, fuels fear, and quietly dictates choices, then swap myth for physiology: toxins burden terrain, cells adapt, and health returns when we support the body's design. From there, we move into practical, grounded steps—daily detox rhythms, mineral sufficiency, gut repair, and light-based therapies—that restore capacity rather than wage war on symptoms.We unpack pearl powder's long history and why minerals matter as the “batteries” of enzymes that power antioxidant systems. We break down pleural effusions without jargon—why fluid collects, when drainage helps, and how pleurodesis can reduce recurrence—while keeping the focus on rebuilding the terrain so the fluid stops coming back. Parasite concerns get a sober plan: appropriate dosing, liver labs, and cleansing so debris exits instead of spreading. Infrared and photobiology get their due as gentle mitochondrial modulators when integrated with real food, sleep, hydration, and stress hygiene.Gut dysbiosis is reframed as imbalance, not an enemy. Fasting windows, fiber-rich plants, colon hygiene, and consistent circadian cues help repopulate a healthy biome. Thyroid health takes center stage with iodine repletion and targeted support to stabilize immune tone. And when symptoms like unilateral foot numbness appear, we emphasize pattern-based assessment over labels so you can choose the right next step with confidence.This is a call to reclaim your story: clear language, simple habits, and smart tools aligned with biology.

This episode lays out the blueprint for having healthier children later in life by treating preconception as the most important window for human health. You'll learn why fertility is not just about getting pregnant, but about building the biological foundation that shapes a child's brain development, metabolism, immune function, and long term resilience. This conversation reframes infertility as a meaningful signal to pause, repair, and prepare, instead of something to override or rush past. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Dr. Ann Shippy is a board-certified internal medicine physician, certified functional medicine practitioner, and a leading expert in preconception health and fertility optimization. A former IBM chemical engineer, she brings a rare systems-based and data-driven approach to uncovering the root causes of infertility, chronic disease, and hormonal dysfunction. Through her Austin-based medical practice, she has helped men and women restore fertility naturally and conceive healthy children well into their 40s using advanced lab testing, precision supplements, and targeted functional medicine strategies. Together, Dave Asprey and Dr. Shippy explore why childhood illness and infertility are rising at the same time, and how environmental toxins, mold exposure, microbiome imbalances, sleep disruption, and chronic inflammation undermine fertility in both men and women. They discuss the role of mitochondria, circadian rhythms, thyroid health, testosterone, and epigenetics in reproductive health, and why IVF should not be the first step without addressing underlying biological dysfunction. You'll Learn: • Why preconception matters more than pregnancy for long term child health • How sperm and egg quality act as biological time capsules for future generations • Why infertility functions as a warning signal instead of a random failure • How environmental toxins and mold exposure disrupt fertility and mitochondrial health • The connection between fertility, longevity, and overall human performance • Why sleep, circadian rhythm, and stress strongly influence reproductive hormones • The role of thyroid function and testosterone in fertility and metabolism • When IVF makes sense and why it should not bypass foundational health work Thank you to our sponsors!

If your body hasn't been cooperating lately, you might be relieved to hear why that's more common and more fixable than you think.Philip Pape and I dug into the deeper reasons why so many people struggle with fat loss, muscle loss, and long-term consistency, especially when thyroid health or chronic stress is part of the picture. We talked about protein needs, the role of strength training as we age, why fasting isn't a magic solution, and how undereating can work against your goals. Philip also shares a very down-to-earth way of thinking about metabolism, recovery, and flexible nutrition that I find a lot of people benefit from hearing again in a simple, practical way.For anyone who's been frustrated by slow progress, tuning in may help you understand what your body has been trying to tell you.Episode Timeline: 00:00 — Intro & Guest Welcome00:55 — Philip's Background Story04:28 — Why Weight Loss Is Hard08:00 — Stress and Metabolism Impact09:53 — Can You Recomp?12:06 — Fasting Challenges Today14:36 — Training Fasted Thoughts17:33 — How Often to Lift20:37 — How Heavy to Lift23:12 — Push-Ups vs Weights25:58 — Rethinking Food & Nutrition30:36 — Flexible Eating Explained33:13 — Protein Powder Guidance36:01 — Creatine Benefits Overview37:12 — Supplements Philip Recommends42:19 — Tracking Food Options47:55 — Philip's App Launch Info48:28 — Final Weight-Loss Advice50:07 — Where to Find PhilipAbout Philip Pape:Philip Pape is a certified nutrition coach and the host of Wits & Weights, a Top 25 (Top 1%) nutrition podcast for people who want to build muscle, lose fat, and transform their health with evidence-based strategies.

If you've been told your thyroid is “fine” because one lab looks normal, this episode is going to mess with your certainty in the best way. In this Medical Disruptors conversation, I sit down with Dr. Alan Christiansen (Dr. C), a board-certified naturopathic endocrinologist and bestselling thyroid author. Dr. C reveals how subtle autoimmune activity often hides beneath “normal” labs, and why addressing iodine overload—not deficiency—might be the real solution for many. We don't just talk thyroid here—we talk agency. And once you understand the levers behind thyroid function, you'll never look at your labs the same way again.

Being told you have Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) or premature menopause can feel like the door has closed on your fertility. But these terms don't mean the same thing and understanding the distinction is essential, especially if you're still hoping to conceive.

If you've ever stood in the supplement aisle (or scrolled online) wondering which thyroid supplement is the "right" one—this episode is for you.

When it comes to Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, we know the struggle is real. The symptoms can be overwhelming, and the impact on your health is undeniable. But here's the thing: Hashimoto's is not just about the thyroid; it's a system-wide issue. Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease, which means it affects your entire body. That's why you can't focus on just treating the thyroid. In this week's episode, Dr.E will explain how Hashimotos is diagnosed, the treatment, and why you should dig deeper and find the trigger behind this autoimmune response. This is a show broadcasted live by Dr. Efrat Lamandre every week with the express purpose of providing free, factual, and practical functional medicine tips to help people prevent disease naturally. Through giving healthy nutrition tips, tips on intermittent fasting, managing stress through diet, and advocating self imrpovement for her patients, Doctor E hopes to help you take control of your health destiny and become the GameChanger in your life.

In this deeply honest and powerful conversation, Rachel sits down with Amber Romaniuk, emotional eating and binge eating expert, to unpack the real reasons women struggle with food, weight, hormones, digestion, and self-worth. This episode goes far beyond surface-level food advice. Together, Rachel and Amber explore how trauma, nervous system dysregulation, inner-child wounds, hormones, and gut health all intersect with binge and emotional eating—and what true healing actually looks like. If you've ever felt out of control around food, stuck in shame, or frustrated that "doing all the right things" still isn't working, this episode will make you feel seen—and supported. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. How Binge & Emotional Eating Actually Begin Amber shares her personal story—from early body shame and dieting to bingeing, purging, and hitting rock bottom—and how denial kept the cycle alive until she was forced to face the truth. You'll hear why binge eating is not about willpower, discipline, or food choices. 2. Why Food Becomes a Coping Mechanism Food often becomes a way to: Numb emotional pain Soothe stress Feel comfort and safety Escape uncomfortable emotions Amber explains how dopamine, restriction, perfectionism, and societal conditioning all reinforce binge cycles—even with "healthy" foods. 3. The Nervous System Connection Chronic stress keeps the body stuck in fight-or-flight, making it nearly impossible to digest food properly, regulate appetite, or process emotions. You'll learn why: Discomfort feels threatening to the nervous system Familiar patterns (even painful ones) feel "safe" Healing requires patience, rewiring, and self-compassion 4. Trauma, Inner Child Wounds & Food Amber breaks down how both big and small traumas—bullying, dieting as a child, parental criticism, abuse, breakups, or feeling unsafe—can deeply impact body image and eating behaviors. This episode highlights why inner-child work is a critical part of healing emotional eating. 5. How Binge Eating Impacts Digestion & Gut Health You'll learn how binge eating and chronic stress can lead to: Poor digestion and nutrient absorption Low stomach acid Gut inflammation and leaky gut Brain fog, fatigue, bloating, and cravings Mood imbalances tied to inflammation 6. Hormones, Weight & Emotional Eating Amber explains how emotional eating affects: Cortisol (stress hormone) Thyroid function Progesterone & estrogen balance Sleep, mood, fertility, and weight regulation You'll hear why low progesterone can drive cravings, insomnia, anxiety, PMDD, and emotional disconnection—and why hormone testing is non-negotiable in healing. 7. The First Steps Toward Healing Amber outlines practical, compassionate steps you can begin now: Seeking safe, nonjudgmental support Admitting there's a problem without shame Identifying emotional vs. physical hunger Understanding your binge triggers Eating regularly and mindfully Supporting basic needs (sleep, hydration, protein) Learning new ways to cope with stress  

There is always a deeper story behind emotional eating, and in this episode Inna and guest Lisa Schlosberg open up the layers most people never connect to food. They explore the moments when you eat without hunger, the childhood patterns that shaped your sense of safety, and the reasons your body may turn to food even when your mind insists you are “fine.” What begins as a conversation about eating quickly becomes a conversation about emotional wiring, nervous system responses, and the parts of you that learned to cope long before you had words for it.Lisa shares her own experience of losing 150 pounds and discovering that the harder work had nothing to do with calories or willpower. It was learning how to feel feelings she spent years avoiding. It was realizing food had been her protection, her comfort, and her armor. Together, she and Inna talk about why emotional hunger feels real, why you can't solve an emotional problem with a physical solution, and how self compassion and internal safety begin to shift lifelong patterns around eating.They also explore the small, often unnoticed triggers that shape your relationship with food. Clean plate conditioning. Scarcity wiring. Eating in front of screens. The need for stimulation. The pull toward comfort when you are overwhelmed. The instinct to stay “strong” at the cost of your own emotional expression. And for many with Hashimoto's, the way growing up without validation creates a lifelong habit of seeking comfort and reassurance outside of yourself.This episode is a grounded, deeply human look at emotional eating, inner safety, and the process of gently rewriting the relationship you have with food. It brings together mind, body, and emotion in a way that will help you understand yourself on an entirely new level.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/eating-not-hungry-relationship-food-lisa-schlosberg/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall
