Could an enzyme deficiency explain why you have food intolerances causing bloating, loose bowels, reflux, brain fog, joint pain, skin issues, and more? Namely, sucrase isomaltase.   This enzyme, known as the sucrase-isomaltase enzyme, may be deficient in many people dealing with chronic GI issues. One study found that 8% of people were at an increased genetic risk for this deficiency (https://jpedres.org/articles/frequency-of-congenital-sucrase-isomaltase-deficiency-by-whole-exome-sequencing-is-it-really-rare/doi/jpr.galenos.2024.65625?utm_). Another study found that 25% with chronic GI symptoms had issues breaking down sucrose (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36304608/).   Thankfully, a diet exists for this which has been studied and shown to be very effective. In fact, it's been shown to be as or even more effective than some of the best diets we currently have for improving gut health – therefore maybe the best diet for gut health?   Let's break down what this enzyme deficiency is, what the diet is, SSRD, and how this diet applies and can be helpful even for those with underlying fungal or bacterial overgrowth and leaky gut.  

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are well. I was wondering what it means to rarely get sick. I'm 45 years old and can count on one hand how many times I've been sick the last 25+ years. Do I just have a really strong immune system or is something wrong? Is this normal? Isn't it good to get sick once or twice a year to build immunity? I keep thinking that when I DO get sick in the future as a senior, it'll be really bad from all the years of 'build up' lol looking forward to hearing your response! Thx!      Sarah: Hello, I have been struggling for several years with significant gastrointestinal symptoms, including alternating constipation and diarrhea, as well as painful bloating. I usually wake up with a flat stomach but by the end of the day I look 9 months pregnant. I was recently tested and found to be positive for both H. pylori and candida overgrowth. In your experience, which condition should be addressed first, and are there specific supplements or treatment protocols you typically recommend to begin care? Thank you so much!      Angela: Good evening, I have just stopped taking Ozempic because I have been having nausea and upper stomach pain for 5 months now. Went to doctor and found out I'm plugged up so the gave me some stuff to clear me out. It has helped my sugar a lot back to normal range and also my liver count is back to normal. I have lost 30 lbs which was to much but don't want all of it to come back. Just reaching out to see if there is something else I can do. Thanks Angela      Dave: Dr. Cabral, can you please explain the use of sunfiber or PHGG and if it is suitable for sensitive/irritable colon? Does it really help with butyrate producing bacteria? I would also like to ask about red and infrared devices targeting thyroid gland when there is autoimmunity, normal function, high antibodies and slight structural gland damage. Would you recommend red/infrared light device directly applied on the thyroid as a part of the destress thyroid specific protocol? If so, how long, how often, intermitently? Thank you for your advice.      Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have completed several lab tests and appreciate the coaching call that comes with them to review. When I've talked about this process with friends, some are skeptic regarding the blood spot card. How can I explain to them how the dried blood spots can be used to test some of the things traditional blood draws test with the same accuracy?

In this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden sits down in person with fitness and nutrition expert Autumn Calabrese to unpack the full truth about GLP-1 agonists. With millions of people jumping on semaglutide, tirzepatide, and soon retatrutide, the conversation most doctors aren't having is about what's actually happening inside the body while the scale goes down. Dr. Gladden breaks down how GLP-1s suppress hunger, slow metabolism, and trigger muscle wasting when used without proper diagnostics or a supporting protocol. He explains the critical differences between GLP-1s, GLP-2s, and GLP-3s, reveals why the ghrelin rebound causes most people to regain everything they lost, and shares the strategies he uses in his practice to help patients lose fat while protecting lean tissue. From the 5-day fasting mimicking diet to natural GLP-1 boosters like metabolic probiotics and calocurb, this episode lays out a smarter, more sustainable path to optimizing body composition. Whether you're considering a GLP-1, already on one, or looking for alternatives, this is the conversation that could change your entire approach.

Book a call with the Gladden Longevity team → https://start.gladdenlongevity.com/apply-now Takeaways • Peptides are signaling partners, not substitutes for the work your body needs to do.  • GLP-1s were designed for diabetics and metabolic syndrome, not casual weight loss. • GLP-1s decrease energy expenditure while GLP-3s (retatrutide) increase it. • Many GLP-1 users are losing muscle mass instead of fat without realizing it. • The ghrelin rebound after stopping a GLP-1 drives appetite higher than before while metabolism stays slower. • A fasting blood sugar and hemoglobin A1C alone are not enough to understand your metabolic health. • A two-hour glucose tolerance test with an insulin curve reveals insulin resistance most doctors completely miss. • The 5-day fasting mimicking diet resets ghrelin, taste buds, gut biome, and leptin sensitivity without destroying muscle. • You can boost your body's own natural GLP-1 production through the right probiotics and bitter receptor activation. • Weight gain is not always an appetite problem. Thyroid dysfunction, declining sex hormones, and missing micronutrients can all be the real driver. • Sex hormone optimization during perimenopause and andropause is critical for maintaining body composition. • Willpower never wins long term. Systems and environment design are what create durable results.    Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Welcome with Autumn 00:44 What Is a Peptide and How Peptides Work in the Body 03:07 BPC-157 and the Pharma Model vs. Peptide Signaling 05:00 You Can't Out-Peptide Bad Habits 06:31 What Is a GLP-1 and How It Affects Your Brain and Gut 08:57 GLP-1s Were Designed for Diabetics Not Weight Loss 09:40 GLP-2 Tirzepatide and GLP-3 Retatrutide Explained 11:00 Why Retatrutide Increases Energy Expenditure While GLP-1s Decrease It 12:00 The Muscle Mass Crisis on GLP-1s 14:06 The Patient Who Lost 20 Pounds of Pure Muscle 15:00 Protecting Muscle with Perfect Aminos and Creatine 17:00 Autumn's Personal Supplement Stack for Training 19:00 Food Noise Ghrelin and the Appetite Rebound 21:18 The 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet as a Metabolic Reset 23:00 Building Your Own Natural GLP-1 Production 25:00 The Glucose Tolerance Test Most Doctors Never Run 28:30 Risks of GLP-1s Pancreatitis Thyroid Tumors and Unsupervised Use 29:50 Microdosing GLP-1s in Perimenopause 30:30 Calocurb the Natural Appetite Suppressant from Hops 32:00 Sex Hormone Optimization for Body Composition 35:00 Resting Metabolic Rate Testing and Hidden Thyroid Dysfunction 38:00 Autumn's Hormone Health Program and Real Results 39:30 Willpower vs Systems and Architecting Your Environment 41:30 Bio-Individuality and Why Someone Else's Plan Won't Work for You 43:00 The Power of Diagnostics and Understanding Your Genetics  To learn more about Autumn: Instagram: @autumncalabrese Reach out to us at: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Gladdenlongevity/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gladdenlongevity/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gladdenlongevity YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5_q8nexY4K5ilgFnKm7naw   Gladden Longevity Podcast Disclosures Production & Independence The Gladden Longevity Podcast and Age Hackers are produced by Gladden Longevity Podcast, which operates independently from Dr. Jeffrey Gladden's clinical practice and research at Gladden Longevity in Irving, Texas.

Finding the right thyroid medication dose isn't a one-and-done process — it's a careful, personalized journey. In this episode, we unpack the science and strategy behind dose titration, the step-by-step method clinicians use to fine-tune thyroid hormone therapy for optimal symptom relief and long-term health. If you've ever wondered why your dose changes or why patience is part of the process, this conversation will give you clarity and confidence.We explore how factors like lab results, symptoms, absorption, weight changes, and life stages all influence dosing decisions — and why small adjustments can make a big difference in how you feel. You'll learn why rushing dose changes can backfire, how providers monitor progress, and what “optimal” really means beyond a normal TSH range.Whether you're newly diagnosed or still searching for your ideal dose, this episode empowers you to partner more effectively with your healthcare provider. 

 #200 - Miracle Cure or Internet Hype? The Truth About Castor Oil Castor oil is having a moment. Scroll social media for five minutes and you'll see it: “Cured my endometriosis.” “Detoxed my liver.” “Regrew my hairline.” “Healed… well, everything.” And when something is suddenly the solution to literally every problem… it's time to pause. Because while castor oil is absolutely powerful, not every claim floating around the internet deserves your blind trust (or all of your body parts). In this episode, I break down what castor oil actually is, what it's scientifically supported for, what I personally use it for, and what I absolutely would not recommend—especially if you're pregnant or thinking about putting it near your eyeballs. If you've been curious about castor oil packs, anti-aging benefits, hair growth hacks, stretch mark reduction, or lymphatic detox claims… this episode is your grounded, evidence-based (with a dash of anecdotal honesty) guide. What You'll Learn in This Episode What castor oil is made of (and why omega-9 fatty acids matter) FDA-approved uses vs. influencer folklore Whether castor oil actually helps with constipation Skin barrier repair, anti-aging, and collagen support Hair growth, scalp health, and rosemary oil synergy Castor oil for scars, stretch marks, arthritis, and cracked heels The truth about castor oil packs for liver detox Regular vs. Jamaican black castor oil—is there a difference? Side effects, safety, and when to absolutely avoid it Timestamps 00:00 – Castor oil: miracle cure or marketing frenzy? 01:00 – Why the FDA cracked down on exaggerated claims 02:00 – What castor oil actually is (hello, omega-9 fatty acids) 04:30 – What it's officially approved for 05:00 – Would I drink it for constipation? 06:30 – Traditional uses: skin conditions, infections, inflammation, lymphatic support 07:30 – Skin benefits that actually make sense 08:00 – Fine lines, wrinkles, and collagen support (why it may help) 09:00 – How to use it for hair growth  10:30 – Acne: helpful or hormonal disaster? (Bio-individuality matters) 12:00 – Castor oil packs for liver detox—worth it? 13:00 – Thyroid application (yes, I use it for Hashimoto's support) 14:00 – Stretch marks & scars: how to use heat to enhance absorption 16:00 – Anti-aging layering method (this is worth the price of admission) 17:00 – Lips: hyaluronic acid + castor oil combo 18:00 – Cracked heels, cuticles, and nail growth 20:00 – The fern experiment (because why not?) 21:00 – Jamaican black castor oil vs. regular: which is better? 22:00 – Side effects and when not to use it 23:00 – Pregnancy warning (seriously, a hard no) 24:00 – My honest verdict Let's Talk About What's Real Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid—an omega-9 fatty acid with anti-inflammatory properties. That's the magic. It's thick. It's deeply emollient. It seals moisture in like a champ. Which makes it excellent for: Dry skin Eczema-prone areas Crepey skin in perimenopause and menopause Fine lines (temporarily plumping through hydration) Cracked heels Dry cuticles Scalp nourishment And when you layer it correctly, it acts like a sealant to hold hydration in. I personally use it nightly on my face, neck, thyroid area, lips, and brows. Am I shiny before bed? Yes. Do I care? Not even a little. What I'd Be Careful With Internal use for constipation (very effective but not my first-line recommendation) Anything near your eyes (I woke up with red, burning, and irritated eyes) Vaginal dryness or sensitive internal use (research first, please) When To Never Use It Pregnancy (it induces labor) Castor Oil & Hormones As estrogen drops in perimenopause and menopause, skin becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic. This is where castor oil shines—literally and figuratively. It supports: Skin barrier repair Moisture retention Elasticity appearance That “spring back” we start to lose Is it Botox? No. Is it still amazing and affordable? Absolutely. Bottom Line Is castor oil a cure-all? Nope. Is it a potent, multi-use, low-risk tool? Yes. In a world where we're constantly sold $200 serums and complicated 12-step regimens, there's something refreshing about a humble glass bottle that's been used for centuries. If you try it: Buy organic Make sure it's in a dark glass bottle Patch test first Use cotton (preferably organic), not polyester, when covering treated areas And maybe—just maybe—pour it into something beautiful so you'll actually remember to use it. One More Thing Pretty Well was shared more than 94% of other shows in Spotify Wrapped this year. That's because of you. You share it. You text it. You send it to friends who need better information without the hype. And that means everything to me. If this episode helped you to decode the castor oil craze (or prevented you from putting it in your eyes), do me a favor and share it with a friend.

What if your TSH is “normal,” but your thyroid is still part of the fertility story? In this episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur breaks down how thyroid antibodies—specifically thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin antibodies—can impact ovulation, luteal phase health, and early pregnancy, even when standard thyroid screening looks reassuring.Through Isla's story of recurrent miscarriage and persistent thyroid symptoms despite a normal TSH, we explore why antibodies often appear years before overt thyroid disease, how they subtly disrupt hormone signaling, and why they matter so much in restorative reproductive care. You'll learn which labs are frequently missed, how inflammation and autoimmunity affect implantation, and what cycle-timed, nutrition-based, and medical strategies can help stabilize thyroid function long-term.If you've been told “your labs are normal” but your symptoms and cycles say otherwise, this episode will help you move from uncertainty to a clear, personalized plan. Learn more or book a free discovery call at radiantclinic.com.

After years working behind the scenes as a songwriter and producer, followed by a nearly decade-long hiatus in the corporate world, Koladae made the decision to finally release his own music. But then, a little over a year ago, he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. He wrote his latest single, Keep Rolling, just two weeks before his surgery. Koladae talks to guest host Garvia Bailey about what this difficult experience taught him about life, and about making music.

T3-based thyroid medications, including desiccated thyroid extract and combination T4/T3 therapy, are some of the most misunderstood and controversial tools in thyroid care. Some patients feel dramatically better. Others feel briefly improved, then crash. Labs often look "optimized," yet long-term recovery stalls. So what's actually happening? In this episode of Thyroid Answers, Dr. Eric Balcavage breaks down the most common mistakes, misunderstandings, and miscommunication surrounding T3-based thyroid therapy — and explains why outcomes vary so widely between patients. You'll learn: Why so many people end up on T3 or desiccated thyroid in the first place The real physiologic arguments clinicians use to justify T3 therapy What a healthy human thyroid gland actually produces — and why that matters Where most of the body's T3 really comes from Why "poor conversion" is often an adaptive response, not a defect Why lowering reverse T3 doesn't necessarily mean recovery Why T3 helps some people and destabilizes others The difference between managing symptoms and restoring physiology This episode reframes T3 therapy through the lens of physiologic state, not just lab values — and explains why adding more thyroid hormone can sometimes push the body further away from recovery. If you've ever wondered whether T3 is helping you, hurting you, or simply masking deeper issues, this conversation will give you a clearer framework for understanding what's really going on.

Millions of people with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's are told their labs look “normal” — yet they still feel exhausted, foggy, and far from well. In this episode, we uncover the hidden gap between thyroid numbers and real-life health, and why so many patients feel dismissed when their symptoms persist.We explore the science behind lingering symptoms, from autoimmune activity and hormone conversion challenges to overlooked issues like nutrient deficiencies, perimenopause, and metabolic health. You'll learn why a TSH in range doesn't always mean your cells are getting what they need — and why your experience is valid.Just as importantly, we dive into a powerful shift happening in thyroid care: a move toward patient-centered medicine that prioritizes HOW you feel, not just what your labs show. From longer visits to whole-person evaluations, new care models are helping patients finally feel heard, supported, and better.

Your energy, mood, and focus don't have to be a mystery. We sit down with Dr. Kevin Smith, a board-certified functional medicine practitioner, to unpack the thyroid's real role in midlife health and why so many women are told “your labs look fine” while symptoms persist. From brain fog and anxiety to constipation, weight shifts, and burnout, we map how thyroid hormones act as the body's metabolic gas pedal—and what goes wrong when the system breaks down.We explore hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and why a large share of people with low thyroid function are actually dealing with Hashimoto's, an autoimmune process. Dr. Smith explains why a TSH-only approach misses crucial steps like T4-to-T3 conversion in the liver and gut, the transport of hormones via thyroid binding globulin, and the impact of inflammation on receptor sites. We dig into hidden triggers that keep you stuck: anemia and iron deficiencies, insulin resistance, cortisol imbalances, sex hormone shifts during perimenopause and menopause, chronic infections like Epstein–Barr, and exposure to endocrine disruptors—yes, even in everyday cosmetics.You'll hear how functional medicine builds a complete picture with broader lab panels, targeted nutrient support, and personalized plans that go beyond symptom chasing. We talk practical moves you can make now: balancing blood sugar, optimizing sleep and protein, choosing cleaner skincare and makeup, and testing smarter to uncover underconversion or transport issues. If you've ever felt dismissed by “normal” labs while your body says otherwise, this conversation offers clarity and a roadmap you can act on.If this episode helped you connect the dots, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs answers, and leave a quick review so more women can find their path to better thyroid health.Bio Dr. Kevin Smith is a board-certified chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner who has been in practice since 2001. He is also a public speaker and published author, with his second book on functional medicine set to release later this year.Dr. Smith specializes in identifying and treating complex or misdiagnosed chronic conditions without drugs or surgery. Many patients seek his care after feeling frustrated by limited results from traditional medical approaches.Rather than masking symptoms, Dr. Smith uses a functional medicine model to uncover and address the root causes of illness — helping patients restore health by identifying and eliminating underlying triggers.Social Media LinkedInTwitterFacebookWebsitehttps://www.chronicpa.com/Thank you for listening to the V.I.B.E.

You can follow a solid protocol for Hashimoto's and still feel like something is not fully clicking.Your labs may look better. Your inflammation markers may improve. But your body still feels braced, wired, or unable to truly settle.In this episode, Inna sits down with Dr. Karyn Shanks to talk about a layer of healing that rarely gets addressed, hypervigilance.We explore how overfunctioning, overworking, and constantly being on can become a stress pattern that keeps cortisol elevated and the immune system reactive. Not because you are failing, but because your nervous system has learned to stay alert.You will see how sensations like throat tightness, chest constriction, or a constant sense of urgency are not random. We talk about the difference between a sensation and the story your brain builds around it, and why giving a feeling space for even ninety seconds can shift your physiology.We also discuss trauma informed care, why safety has to come before deeper healing, and how overdoing can be tied to worthiness and performance rather than true resilience.Healing is not only biochemical. It is also nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and learning when to say yes and when to say no.This episode will help you look at your thyroid healing through a wider lens and understand what might still be keeping your body on guard.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/hashimotos-protocol-karyn-shanks/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 If 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/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.com

Tired of thyroid meds eating into your budget every month? You're not stuck with high prices—especially with Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism. This episode breaks down three real options to how to save money on thyroid medication so you can stay consistent with your levothyroxine (or other thyroid needs) without the stress. The core message: A quick comparison puts you back in control as the CEO of your health. You'll discover: How GoodRx coupons stack up against Cost Plus Drugs' transparent generics and TrumpRx's brand discounts (with actual price examples for common doses). Why generics often win on cost, but sticking to one manufacturer matters for feeling stable.

Why do so many people with thyroid conditions continue to struggle even when their lab results are “normal”? This week on Health Coach Talk, Dr. Sandi sits down with Le Cordon Bleu–trained chef, FMCA graduate, and functional medicine health coach Ginny Mahar to explore a new functional framework for thyroid care rooted in personalization, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and sustainable lifestyle change. Drawing from her own experience with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's, Ginny explains how moving beyond lab-based management toward a structured, whole-person approach can help individuals reclaim their energy, clarity, and long-term vitality.Full show notes: https://functionalmedicinecoaching.org/podcast/ginny-mahar-168/

 Is it perimenopause or my thyroid? If you're a woman over 40 struggling with unexplained fatigue, stubborn weight gain (especially around your midsection), brain fog, mood swings, or sleep disturbances—you're not alone, and you're not crazy. In this episode, Dr. Anshul Gupta, the world's leading Hashimoto's expert, reveals the hidden connection between perimenopause and thyroid dysfunction that most doctors miss. Discover why declining estrogen during perimenopause directly impacts your thyroid function, disrupts T4 to T3 conversion, and can trigger or worsen Hashimoto's thyroiditis. You'll learn: Can perimenopause cause thyroid problems? (The science behind estrogen-thyroid interaction) Why standard TSH tests miss the full picture of hypothyroidism How the DUTCH test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) reveals hidden hormone imbalances The role of estrogen dominance, cortisol, and reverse T3 in your symptoms Natural remedies for Hashimoto's flare-ups during hormonal transitions The best diet for perimenopause and thyroid health (Mediterranean diet, phytoestrogens, cruciferous vegetables) Evidence-based supplements: magnesium, selenium, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and adaptogenic herbs like Ashwagandha and Rhodiola How to balance hormones naturally during perimenopause through functional medicine, gut health optimization, liver detoxification, strength training, and stress management strategies that actually work.

You're eating well, working out consistently, but the scale keeps climbing. Your body feels different. Your clothes don't fit. And you're wondering—am I doing something wrong, or is this just perimenopause? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Monica McKitterick, Family Nurse Practitioner and founder of Impact Family Wellness, to talk about the real reasons hormonal weight gain happens in midlife—and what you can actually do about it. We're covering HRT (the risks and benefits your doctor might not be telling you), GLP-1 medications for weight loss, thyroid issues that often get missed, and the truth about perimenopause and menopause weight gain. This is an honest, no-fluff conversation about what's happening in your body and the tools available to help. If you're frustrated, confused, or just want straight answers about hormones and weight loss, this episode is for you.   Website: www.impactfamilywellness.com www.dpcformula.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/impactfamilywellness/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/impactfamilywellness/ YouTube: www.youtube.com/@impactfamilywellnessllc4726 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monicamckitterick/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/dpc-formula/  

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dr. Justin Marchegiani to explain why thyroid health is really a whole body conversation, not just a gland problem. You'll learn how thyroid hormone impacts energy, body temperature, mood, digestion, and stress resilience. They also unpack why so many thyroid cases have an autoimmune layer and what that means for your next steps.   You'll hear why Dr. Justin says thyroid issues often show up alongside gut and liver dysfunction, and why focusing only on medication can miss the real roadblocks. He breaks down how T4 becomes active T3 and how stress, inflammation, and nutrient gaps can slow that conversion down. You'll leave with a clearer way to think about what to support first so your metabolism can respond.   You'll learn the link between insulin resistance and sluggish thyroid output, plus how blood sugar data can help you personalize your nutrition instead of guessing. They share simple markers to pay attention to after meals and why consistency matters more than perfection. You'll also hear why stress can spike glucose fast and how a short walk can be one of the quickest ways to bring things back down.   In This Episode:  00:00 Sleep Deprivation, Cortisol & Blood Sugar Spikes 02:17 Meet Dr. Justin & Introducing 'The Thyroid Reboot' 02:56 Why the Thyroid Matters: Metabolism, Gut, Immunity & Autoimmunity 04:13 Hyperthyroid vs Hypothyroid: TSH, T4/T3 Basics & Graves vs Hashimoto's 08:25 Hypothyroid Symptom Checklist + Basal Temperature Clues 11:15 Thyroid Hormone Activation: TRH→TSH→T4→T3, Liver Conversion & Key Nutrients 16:39 Gut Microbiome, Estrogen Detox & Why Thyroid Is a Whole-Body Issue 19:18 Hair Growth Cycle Explained + Why Follicles Get "Stuck" 20:41 Root Causes of Hypothyroidism: Insulin Resistance, Stress, Diet Gaps 22:08 Toxins & Microplastics: How Endocrine Disruptors Impact Thyroid Hormones 22:43 Reading Thyroid Labs: Ideal TSH/T4/T3 Ranges & What They Mean 24:39 Treatment Strategy: Foundations First, Then Thyroid Support (If Needed) 26:53 DIY Thyroid Foundations: Diet, Blood Sugar Testing, Movement & Sleep 33:57 Wrap-Up: Book Plug, Where to Get Help, and Final Takeaways   If you want practical, natural strategies to balance your hormones, heal your gut, boost your energy, and slow aging, don't miss The Dr. Josh Axe Show.

"Since the 80s, we've been brainwashed to believe that eggs are bad for us, butter is bad for us, dairy is bad for us, red meat is bad for us. And it's just not true." If you've been told your cholesterol is "too high"... if you're on a statin drug and wondering if it's actually helping... if you care about preventing heart disease instead of just managing it... this episode is your wake-up call. It's Heart Health Month, and Dr. Terri is cutting through decades of misinformation to reveal what's REALLY driving cardiovascular disease — and it's not cholesterol. From the gut-heart connection to the six hormones that could save your life, this is the heart health conversation your doctor probably isn't having with you. Here's the truth: "The highest gross revenue producing drug in the history of drugs — billions of dollars — and since they've come out in the 80s, cardiovascular disease rates and death from cardiovascular disease have actually gotten worse, not better." WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → Why heart disease is a disease of INFLAMMATION, not cholesterol → The shocking truth about statin drugs — and why heart disease has gotten WORSE since the 80s → How cholesterol-lowering drugs are literally shrinking your brain (the brain is 70% cholesterol) → The connection between statins, insulin resistance, and Alzheimer's (now called Type 3 Diabetes) → Why "all disease begins in the gut" — Hippocrates said it 2,000 years ago and it's still true → How estradiol reduced cardiovascular disease progression by 50% in women who already had plaque → Why testosterone is powerfully protective for men's hearts (not just for energy and muscle) → The one organ that can't make its own T3 thyroid hormone — your heart → Why your "normal" lab ranges are based on a sick population (and what optimal ACTUALLY looks like) → The phone scrolling habit that's destroying your melatonin AND your heart health → The inverse relationship between cortisol and DHEA that's wrecking your cardiovascular system → The vitamin D level that triggers a 5x cancer risk and 160% increased cardiovascular disease risk → The 6 hormones you need optimized for true heart disease prevention This isn't about managing heart disease with more prescriptions. It's about understanding the root cause — inflammation — and optimizing the hormones your body needs to protect itself. YOUR ACTION STEPS: Get a deep-dive lipid panel (particle size, ApoA, ApoB), check your hormone levels, ask about a coronary artery calcium score, and focus on OPTIMAL — not just "normal." TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Intro: It's Heart Health Month 2:15 - Heart disease is NOT a cholesterol problem 4:20 - The statin drug soapbox: billions in revenue, worse outcomes 6:40 - How statins are connected to Alzheimer's and insulin resistance 7:55 - It all begins in the gut: inflammation and lipid polysaccharides 9:05 - The one statin study — and why it doesn't apply to everyone 10:20 - Estrogen: a powerfully protective anti-inflammatory molecule 11:25 - The study showing 50% reduction in plaque progression with estrogen 14:05 - Testosterone: protective for cardiovascular disease in men 14:45 - Thyroid: the heart can't make its own T3 16:15 - Why "normal" lab ranges are based on sick populations 17:15 - Optimal Free T3 levels and what pediatric data actually shows 17:50 - Melatonin: the hormone you're destroying with your phone 19:10 - DHEA: the cortisol-DHEA inverse relationship 20:25 - Vitamin D: the hormone-like molecule with massive cardiovascular impact 21:20 - Recap: The 6 hormones for heart disease prevention ---- The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.

Hi everyone, I'm Dr. Liza Leal, your host today for the Meridian Medical Dental Healthcare Podcast, powered by Meridian Health Institute — and I'm also known as your Everyday Health Hacker.Today we're talking about what's really happening to your collagen, muscle, and hormones when you're on GLP-1 medications — and more importantly, what you can do to stay looking healthy, strong, and vibrant while you lose weight. A lot of people using GLP medications experience rapid fat loss. While that's wonderful for metabolic health, many people start noticing changes in their skin. Their face can look more hollow or sallow, skin may feel thinner or less elastic, and they may notice sagging in areas like the jawline, neck, arms, or abdomen. So let's talk about how to prevent that.

You're taking thyroid medication, your T4 levels are perfect, but you still feel exhausted, brain-foggy, and stuck with stubborn weight. What's going wrong?In this episode, Dr. Anshul Gupta reveals the missing link that most doctors never check: the DIO2 gene. This crucial "converter" gene is responsible for turning your inactive T4 hormone into active T3 — the form your cells actually use for energy. When the DIO2 gene isn't working properly, your body can't make this conversion efficiently, leaving you with all the symptoms of hypothyroidism even when your labs look fine.Discover why genetic variations in DIO2 affect millions of people, how to know if you're one of them, and what you can do to support this critical conversion process naturally. If you've been told your thyroid is "normal" but you're still struggling, this could be the breakthrough you've been waiting for.

Mental health challenges are often an overlooked part of thyroid and autoimmune disease and that matters more than most people realize.This episode explores the connection between mental health and thyroid autoimmunity, and why symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or brain fog are often biologically influenced, not just emotional. I walk through how thyroid hormone imbalances, inflammation, and nervous system regulation can affect mental well-being, including the role of the gut. We also look at how chronic stress and trauma can contribute to both thyroid issues and mental health symptoms. The focus is on a balanced, whole-body approach that prioritizes safety, individuality, and root causes rather than quick fixes.Tune in to better understand why mental health symptoms are so common in thyroid and autoimmune disease and what that connection really means.Episode Timeline: 0:02 – Mental Health and Thyroid1:25 – Hormones and Neurotransmitters2:55 – Anxiety and Hyperthyroidism4:05 – Depression and Low Thyroid5:15 – Autoimmunity and Inflammation6:45 – Neuroinflammation Explained8:10 – Leaky Gut, Leaky Brain9:36 – Stress, Trauma, and Thyroid12:40 – Nervous System Regulation14:50 – Gut Health and Mood17:30 – Nutrients and Mental Health18:47 – Medications and Mood Effects21:20 – Whole-Body Healing Approach23:40 – Key Takeaways and Next StepsIf you want to subscribe to my free Healing Graves' Naturally newsletter visithttps://savemythyroid.com/GravesNewsletter 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?

What if a tiny check could make a life-changing difference? In this episode, we dive into why a simple thyroid screening during pregnancy might play a powerful role in lowering autism risk—and why this often-overlooked gland deserves way more attention than it gets.From there, we break down the key nutrients your thyroid actually needs to thrive, cutting through the supplement noise to focus on what really matters for energy, metabolism, mood, and brain health.And to wrap things up, we tackle a classic health myth with a modern twist: can an apple a day really make you healthier… and even more successful? ? Spoiler: the answer is more interesting (and practical) than you might expect.Science-backed, curiosity-driven, and refreshingly down to earth—this episode connects the dots between nutrition, prevention, and everyday habits that quietly shape our health and our lives.

You are moving your body, trying to be consistent, and still wondering if you are doing too much, not enough, or the wrong kind altogether.This conversation with Inna Topiler and Angela Brown sits right inside that uncertainty. The space between being told to push harder and starting to wonder if pushing harder is exactly why your body feels the way it does. They talk about why exercise can feel so confusing with Hashimoto's and why so many people end up second-guessing themselves instead of trusting what they are noticing.As the conversation unfolds, you will start to see how different types of exercise affect the Hashimoto's body in very different ways. You will hear how to think about recovery, fatigue, inflammation, and weight changes together, instead of as separate problems, and why what happens after your workout often matters more than how you feel during it.You will also see exactly how to tell whether the exercise you are doing is actually working for you, when it may be time to change your approach, and how to start making those decisions without swinging between doing nothing and doing too much. For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/exercise-hashimotos-fatigue-weight-gain-angela-brown/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 atInnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

Midlife health is about far more than a single lab value. In this episode, we talked about how hormones, muscle mass, cholesterol, and inflammation influence long term heart and metabolic health.

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.

HRT can be a game-changer. But if the foundation is shaky, it can't do its job. So before you change your hormone dose again, listen to this. There's a reason symptoms can persist, especially in perimenopause and menopause. In this episode of Medical Disruptors, I'm with Dr. Wendy Warner, former conventional OB-GYN turned functional and integrative powerhouse, because she's watching the same pattern on repeat. Women start hormone therapy while blood sugar is unstable. Cortisol is running the show. Inflammation is simmering. Thyroid issues get missed. And the environment is quietly pushing the whole system off course. Then three months later? Frustration. They blame the hormones. Or they chase higher and higher doses like that's the fix. We get into what most conversations skip: how stress can hijack progesterone signaling, why “hot flashes” can actually be blood sugar swings, and why obesity can shift estrogen dynamics. We also talk estrogen metabolism and methylation, especially if you've got a family history that makes you cautious. Then we pivot to bone health and the uncomfortable reality: osteoporosis isn't a calcium problem. It's a systems problem. If you want a smarter way to think about hormone replacement therapy,one that actually matches how biology works, this episode is for you. Want more practical health tips?

Hormone therapy helps. But it does not fix everything.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Diane Mueller to break down why libido often fades again after the initial HRT boost.You learn why desire is multi-layered, why lab work often misses real problems, and how blood flow, thyroid health, nervous system overload, pelvic floor function, and relationship dynamics all shape your sex drive.We also talk about erotic repair, redefining sex, rebuilding safety, and why pleasure is a health practice, not a luxury.If you feel frustrated, broken, or confused about why hormones did not solve your libido, this episode gives you clarity and next steps.Timestamps:0:00 Celebrating 150 episodes and why none of us are broken1:22 What Taboo To Truth is really about2:30 Why HRT feels great.

Ruth is learning, writing, and teaching about thyroid disease in lots of different places, so IHACW is coming along for the ride. Hypothyroidism: the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough of the right hormones to stimulate healthy metabolism—a person has a hard time turning fuel (that's oxygen and food) into energy. The result: lethargy, weight gain, sluggish digestion, and lots, lots more. Does this describe any of your clients? But treating endocrine diseases is a tricky business. In this episode Ruth interviews a friend who had some success, but it is an ongoing battle. Resources: Allen, E. and Fingeret, A. (2025) "Anatomy, Head and Neck, Thyroid," in StatPearls.

Mood, motivation, and emotional resilience are not personality traits. They are biological systems. In this episode, you'll get the 12 greatest mood boosters on Earth, not as a clickbait supplement list, but as the real biological levers that control dopamine sensitivity, hormones, neuroplasticity, and energy production.Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down in Dubai with friend of the show, Lucas Aoun, founder of Ergogenic Health and INB4, for a deep, experience driven conversation on dopamine, mood, and performance. Lucas is Australia's leading biohacker, now based in Dubai, with a background in exercise science, naturopathy, and pharmacology. He is globally recognized for his work in dopamine regulation, testosterone optimization, and neurohormonal performance, and for rigorously testing protocols before recommending them. Together, Dave and Lucas explore how dopamine receptor upregulation changes motivation, mood, and resilience more effectively than stimulants alone. They break down compounds and systems discussed in the episode including solbutiamine, lithium orotate, sarcosine, inositol, uridine, testosterone, growth hormone, ketamine pathways, thyroid optimization, liver health, sleep quality, and desire regulation. The conversation also examines GLP-1 drugs, why they can blunt motivation, and how to think more strategically about long term mood and energy. This episode connects neuroscience, functional medicine, hormone biology, nootropics, and advanced biohacking ethics into a single framework for improving how you feel and function every day. Dave and Lucas also explain why experimentation requires guardrails, how to avoid tolerance and emotional flattening, and why upgrading baseline biology beats chasing quick fixes. You'll Learn: • Why dopamine sensitivity matters more than dopamine levels • How mood, motivation, and desire are regulated biologically • Which compounds and systems came up as major mood levers • How testosterone and growth hormone influence emotional resilience • Why some longevity drugs may reduce motivation and drive • How sleep depth and mitochondrial function affect mood • The role of neuroplasticity in emotional regulation • Why strategic testing beats random supplementation • How to improve mood without addiction or burnout • Where to start if you want sustainable energy and motivation Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind.
