 Did you know a hidden gut parasite could be sabotaging your thyroid health? In this episode, Dr. Anshul Gupta uncovers how certain gut infections can trigger Hashimoto's and thyroid dysfunction. Learn how parasites disrupt your gut-thyroid connection — and discover simple, natural ways to eliminate them and restore balance for lasting thyroid recovery. 

Fasting is everywhere these days, but most traditional fasting approaches are too harsh when you have Hashimoto's. Long stretches without food can feel destabilizing, draining, and completely unrealistic for a thyroid that is already under stress. However there is a different approach called fasting mimicking that creates the deeper cellular benefits of fasting while you are still eating real food. Fasting mimicking has been heavily researched for decades and is designed to activate the same fasting pathways that support things like metabolism, energy, longevity, and overall cellular renewal. Instead of pushing the body into stress, it uses precise nutrients that keep the fasting response going while still providing nourishment, which makes it far more compatible with the needs of someone living with Hashimoto's. It also offers an approachable way to support weight, inflammation, and metabolic health without cutting calories to extremes or spiking cortisol.This is the kind of information that changes how you think about fasting altogether and incredibly relevant if regular fasting has ever made you feel worse instead of better. This episode is a must listen, and if you want to try fasting mimicking for yourself, you can do that here and please use code "FASTING" for 20% OFF!For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/203-fasting-thyroid-hashimotos-renee-fitton/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

The path to lowering antibodies isn't always quick, but it becomes clearer once you know which five areas matter most.In this conversation, I walk through what thyroid antibodies actually mean and why they can fluctuate from one test to the next. I then break down five approaches that consistently make a difference, strengthening the foundations of health, addressing personal triggers, supporting gut health, reducing oxidative stress, and understanding when something like Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) might play a role. The goal is to help you see where your efforts matter most and why a layered approach usually works better than relying on a single strategy.If you've been trying to make sense of your antibodies or you're looking for next steps, you'll find this episode helpful to listen to.Episode Timeline: 00:00 — What Thyroid Antibodies Are01:15 — Types of Graves' Antibodies03:45 — Why Antibodies Fluctuate05:10 — Way #1: Foundations First08:20 — Foods & Common Triggers10:45 — Stress, Toxins, Infections12:50 — Way #2: Remove Triggers14:05 — Way #3: Heal the Gut16:40 — Way #4: Reduce Oxidative Stress18:30 — Supplements for Antibody Support19:45 — Way #5: Low-Dose Naltrexone21:10 — Summary of All Five Steps22:00 — Invitation to Free ChallengeTo take the Save My Thyroid Quiz visit www.savemythyroid.com/quiz Free resources for your thyroid health Get your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.com High-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto' s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

Fatigue in midlife isn't just about needing more sleep — it's often a sign that something deeper is out of balance. In this episode, Tara shares her clinical approach to fatigue, including how hormones, minerals, iron status, thyroid function, inflammation, gut health, and stress all impact your energy. She explains why basic labs don't always tell the full story and what to look for when fatigue doesn't improve with rest or supplements alone. You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of why you feel tired and what steps actually move the needle — plus how personalized testing and guidance can help you get your energy back for good.   Here's what you'll discover in this episode: 1. Why "just getting older" isn't a reason to accept low energy Tara Thorne shares her refreshing perspective on why we shouldn't expect our bodies to bounce back like they did in our twenties, and how you can actually regain your spark at any age. 2. The importance of digging into your blood work Learn what labs to ask for (and why most doctors miss critical markers)—including a full-thyroid panel, specific immune markers, iron panels, and even markers for viral and bacterial infections. 3. How mineral imbalances could be sabotaging your energy Tara Thorne walks through the magic of HTMA tests and why simply popping magnesium or iron might not help (and could even make things worse!). 4. The gut-fatigue connection Surprise! You might not have GI symptoms and still have serious gut-driven exhaustion. Tara Thorne unpacks how gut health, inflammation, and "leaky gut" can zap your vitality. 5. The critical (but often overlooked) role of hormones and stress From optimizing your hormones with bioidentical HRT to managing stress and dialing in quality sleep, you'll get actionable advice to support your energy on every level.   Other episodes of interest: EPS 114: Thyroid health in midlife: post-illness autoimmunity/hypothyroidism, why TSH will rise with iodine & this is OK, progesterone & thyroid health & more!

Are your brain fog, fatigue, joint pain, and stubborn weight gain really just“aging”—or are they thyroid check-engine lights your doctor missed? In this episode, Dr.Aaron Ernst exposes why conventional labs overlook hidden thyroid dysfunction, how poor conversion, autoimmunity, inflammation, and cellular resistance silently shutdown metabolism, and the top natural methods to reset your thyroid so you can restore energy,clarity, and effortless weight control—without relying on medication to simply make the numbers look good.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jeffrey Dach to unpack the most misunderstood aspects of thyroid health - from TSH and Synthroid to T3 conversion, desiccated thyroid, iodine, selenium, cardiovascular risk, and more. If you've ever been told your TSH is “normal” but you still have symptoms (even if you taking Synthroid)… this conversation is going to change how you think about your thyroid therapy. We discuss: • Why TSH is an unreliable marker and why it often reflects inflammation more than thyroid output • How T3 works primarily at the pituitary and T4 at the periphery • Why T4-only therapy (Synthroid/Levothyroxine) can leave patients still feeling rubbish and with symptoms of hypothyroid • The benefits of combination thyroid therapy and why natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) helps so many people • Selenium's role in T4→T3 conversion and thyroid antibody reduction • The importance of around iodine • How low thyroid function increases cardiovascular disease and cancer risk • The best supplements for thyroid support, including berberine and myo-inositol. And lots more! This episode is a deep dive into thyroid physiology, hormones, optimal treatment, and the gaps in conventional endocrinology that leave so many patients ignored. This is a conversation, even if you don't think you have thyroid issues, you don't want to miss! Jeffrey Dach, MD is a board-certified physician and integrative medicine advocate with over four decades of experience in healthcare. In 2005, after retiring from radiology, Dr. Dach founded the clinic TrueMedMD — where he serves as Medical Director. Under his leadership, TrueMedMD has specialized in bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT), natural thyroid care, and integrative medicine. Dr. Dach is also a prolific author and educator. His works include Bioidentical Hormones 101 and Natural Medicine 101, aimed at making complex medical and hormonal science accessible and practical for both clinicians and patients.

Do you know the best Thyroid tests and lab ranges? The Thyroid governs your metabolism – how fast things work, get used, replaced. Thyroid hormones assist with body temperature, moving the bowels, growing hair, etc. One of its main jobs is governing the burning of fats, part of weight management. If you want to check your labs correctly, here is what to know. Reviewing symptoms of low thyroid function, correct thyroid labs to test, optimal thyroid lab numbers, and how to run thyroid lab tests on your own.

If you've ever been told “your labs are normal” while you're dragging through the day, freezing in the summer, losing hair, gaining weight, or feeling like you are walking through mud, this Poddy is for you. Today we're sitting down with our dear friend Jess Meyers. Many of you know her as our long-time community manager, and now as “Kiaora Jess.” She lost 150 pounds on Trim Healthy Mama, but the final breakthrough in her health and metabolism did not happen until she addressed one huge missing piece: her thyroid. In this episode we talk about: Why so many women are told they're “fine” when their thyroid is absolutely not fine. The difference between “in range” and optimized thyroid numbers. The symptoms nobody connects to thyroid: cold all the time, constipation, crashes and naps, brain fog, dry eyes, puffiness, hair thinning, slow weight loss or no weight loss at all. How the Kiora thyroid program was built over more than two years of testing, refining, and caring for real women in real bodies. Powerful stories from women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s who are now experiencing steady energy, better sleep, better moods, warmer body temps, stronger hair and nails, easier weight loss or maintenance, and even renewed joy and desire in their marriages. We're not doctors, just three women sharing our journeys of being dismissed, fighting to be heard, and finally getting thyroid help that actually moved the needle. If you're tired of being told “you're normal” while everything in your body screams that you're not, pull up a chair, mama. You are not crazy. You are not lazy. You just need the right support, the right tests, and the right treatment. This is the thyroid Poddy we wish we could have listened to years ago.

In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Warren dives deep into the intricate relationship between food and thyroid hormone health—especially for those healing after thyroidectomy. After walking through her own journey of overcoming thyroid cancer, she has learned firsthand how crucial it is to understand the role food plays as fuel, not medicine. Her goal in this episode is to clear up common dietary misconceptions and help listeners feel confident about nourishing their bodies well. She breaks down the controversial topic of gluten, its connection to autoimmune thyroid disorders, and how it can contribute to leaky gut. She also shares the important differences between A1 and A2 dairy, how each affects inflammation and gut function, and why some forms of dairy may be much better tolerated than others. She even dives into the truth about soy and cruciferous vegetables—two foods people often fear unnecessarily—and explains how they can support hormone balance when incorporated mindfully. Above all, she emphasizes the importance of listening to your body, honoring your unique needs, and avoiding overly restrictive eating patterns that can actually hinder healing. If you're ready to make informed food choices without the overwhelm, this episode is for you.   ⭐ Your feedback means so much to me!

If you've ever been told your FSH is too high or that you're not a good candidate for IVF, today's episode will help you understand what that number actually means and the many ways you can still support your fertility. When most people hear "high FSH," they immediately think poor ovarian reserve or low egg count. That's not the full story. In this episode, we look at what high FSH signals, how to interpret it alongside other markers, and what both conventional and functional fertility options can help you move forward with clarity. You'll learn: • What high FSH actually measures and why context matters when paired with AMH, estradiol, and AFC • How inflammation, stress, thyroid imbalance, sleep, and environmental toxins influence FSH • Conventional treatment options such as mini IVF, natural cycle IVF, Letrozole, and individualized stimulation protocols • How functional fertility improves the internal environment so your ovaries respond better to any treatment • The key labs, nutrients, and lifestyle factors that support egg quality and hormone communication in high FSH cases This episode is especially for you if: • You've been told you have high FSH or diminished ovarian reserve and worry the window is closing • You've had canceled IVF cycles or poor responses and want to understand what else you can do • You want to see how a functional fertility approach can support egg quality so your next steps feel strategic and not desperate Sarah Clark is the founder of Fab Fertile Inc. and the host of Get Pregnant Naturally.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Gaby: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thanks for your work you're doing! And sorry for the long question. I am a 19 year old female, and have been struggling with gut issues since I was a baby. Bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, nausea, and so forth. I have had functional medicine and conventional bloodwork done. My progesterone tested low and also my estrogen was low. I have the symptoms of very high androgens/testosterone, despite conventional testing showing normal levels. Been diagnosed with low cortisol/adrenal fatigue. My thyroid panels are good. I have struggled with very low B12 vitamins (maybe from not knowing that I had MTHFR). I've had severe menstrual cramps ever since getting married recently. I can't afford more testing, but am wondering how this all connects?                      Liz: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a very large fluid-filled, non-malignant cyst on my thyroid. When I swallow it looks like a golf ball is in there. Doctor said it's nothing to worry about. All my thyroid labs, including antibodies, came back normal. Food sensitivity test I had a couple years ago showed dairy and eggs being a problem and they were a big part of my diet for the past couple of years until recently. Am currently in week 1 of your 21 Day Detox. My question is, is there any way to shrink or eliminate the cyst without having a procedure? Thanks!                                                                                               Noah: Hi Dr. Cabral, I'm 24 and recently recovered from mono, but I've been feeling exhausted ever since—almost like my body can't fully bounce back. My doctor says it's just "post-viral fatigue," but I'm wondering if there's more to it, like EBV reactivation or mitochondrial depletion. What would be your next step to rebuild energy naturally?     Eleazar: Hello dr cabral i have a question about my post viral pots i have been dealing with since January of 2024 and how you would try to fix it. my question is if a viral infection which are normal and everyone gets caused this autoimmune reaction what exactly would u target to fix the autoimmunity if the virus is gone and there isnt much to remove unlike other cases of autoimmunity where a gut dysbiosis or heavy metals is causing the disease u know what to remove I hope that makes sense thank you for your time and videos u put they are very informative                                                                           Eleazar: Hello dr Cabral i have another question regarding autoimmune disease i am a 21 year old male and soon i will be fixing all my root causes for my suspected autoimmune pots disease. I have completed the big 5 but my question is will i ever be able to drink alcohol again like beer for example or will it always be a risk for reactivating the autoimmune disease i see many functional medicine doctors say only 1-2 beverages but does it really have to be just that amount or can u drink more also i heard u mentioned binge drinking can cause epigenetic immune shift what exactly is that and can it be fixed and if i do drink will i need to avoid eating fast food at the same time even if its on occasion.thank you for the amazing videos u do   Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3579 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

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

Have you ever wondered why you're still battling bloating, brain fog, weight gain, or a sluggish thyroid despite doing “all the right things”? What if the missing link isn't your diet or thyroid meds … but a silent gut invader?In this episode of the Paloma podcast, we dive into the astonishing world of Helicobacter pylori (“H. pylori”) — a common stomach bacterium that often flies under the radar but can quietly sabotage your digestion, hormones, metabolism, and thyroid. H. pylori isn't just about ulcers; it may be fueling autoimmune thyroid issues, hormonal chaos during perimenopause or menopause, and that “why-won't-my-weight-budge” frustration. Here's what we'll uncover:How H. pylori can slip quietly into your system, evade detection and trigger long-term havoc in digestion and immune function. The surprising link between gut bacteria, your thyroid gland (hello, Hashimoto's thyroiditis) and hormonal shifts — including nutrient malabsorption, immune activation and metabolic slowdowns. Why treatment is more than “just antibiotics” — we'll look at both conventional eradication strategies and integrative gut-first approaches that support digestion, thyroid and metabolic health. A practical roadmap you can walk out of the podcast with: key signs that H. pylori might be underlying your symptoms, what tests to ask for, how the gut-hormone-thyroid triangle really works … and the next step toward rebalancing.Whether you're navigating thyroid autoimmunity, age-related hormonal changes, stubborn weight issues or unexplained digestive upset — this episode will give you fresh insight into a hidden driver that many health-seekers overlook.

Why have we lost our trust in natural medicine? In this video, we'll discuss why natural medicine is ignored and sometimes even dismissed as folklore. Is it wise to invalidate the wisdom of the past? Discover the truth about natural medicine in this video.0:00 Introduction: Natural medicine suppression0:19 United States Dispensatory 0:38 Pharmaceutical vs. natural medicine 3:08 The advancement of medicine 6:35 Natural remedies of the past The “United States Dispensatory” by Wood and Lawall may provide insight into alternative medicine censorship in the United States. The 21st edition, published in 1926, was the most authoritative and comprehensive reference for American medicine. At the time of publication, 75% of medicine consisted of various natural remedies, while only 25% consisted of synthetic compounds.Since then, there's been a gradual transition from natural remedies to synthetic drugs. When the 22nd edition of the book was published in 1943, the ratio of natural to synthetic drugs shifted to 50:50.Today, medicine is often prescribed without considering lifestyle, eating habits, sleep patterns, stress levels, or the microbiome. Symptoms of the underlying problems are treated without addressing the root cause.Discover these 20 natural remedies that have stood the test of time, along with the ailment they have historically been used to address.1.

Most people are told: "If you have thyroid antibodies, you have Hashimoto's. If you don't, you don't." In this episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage, creator of the Adaptive Thyroid Model™, revisits that idea and shows why antibodies are only one piece of a much bigger picture. Discover how: ✅ Th1 and Th17 T-cells, CD8 T-cells, and low T-regs drive thyroid inflammation and tissue damage ✅ PAMPs (pathogen signals) and DAMPs (cell-danger signals) can bind to pattern-recognition receptors [PRRs] on thyroid cells, triggering cytokines and interferon activity ✅ Antibodies may confirm Hashimoto's, but their absence doesn't rule it out (seronegative Hashimoto's is real) ✅ Addressing the drivers of immune imbalance — gut permeability, sleep debt, oxidative stress, nutrient deficiencies — can help restore tolerance and thyroid function Dr. Balcavage breaks down the latest research on how inflammation starts inside the thyroid, why the body isn't "attacking" itself, and what a true recovery plan looks like.

When the thyroid gland stops working efficiently, the effects resound throughout the entire body. That's because this little gland controls metabolism in all our tissues. Before there was a treatment, thyroid disease was sometimes deadly. Doctors started prescribing natural desiccated thyroid derived from animals 130 years ago. This worked well. Synthetic levothyroxine (a thyroid hormone) […]

God gave us a body to take care of and it is important to maintain that body with love and care. Especially because we are at the end of the genesis curse, there are many considerations these days to living a healthy life. It is also important from an eschatological perspective, because one day the world will ostracize those who do not obey its counterfeit system of worship — which means we must not be dependent on institutions or pharmaceutical drugs as much as possible. In this free series I go over 20 years of experience in the realm of health and wellness and discuss important strategies on how to maintain what we've been given so that you can be as healthy as possible for what's to come. * 00:00 - Introduction* 05:36 - The Adrenals* 16:45 - The Thyroid & Iodine* 38:14 - Wrap-Up This is a public episode.

Thyroid nodules are growths on your thyroid. They are usually benign (not cancer). They may become overactive and make too much of the thyroid hormone. All types of hyperthyroidism are due to an overproduction of thyroid hormones. Hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid) causes your thyroid to make more thyroid hormone than your body needs. Hyperthyroidism can accelerate your body functions such as your metabolism (can cause unintentional weight loss) or a rapid or irregular heart rate.

We often think that age brings negative health changes and there's nothing we can do about it. In this conversation with Dr. Prudence Hall we learn that our lifestyle (exercise, nutrition, stress reduction) has much more impact on aging well. A balanced, healthy lifestyle allows the body to properly regulate our hormones which then helps us age without negative health issues.Dr. Hall takes a unique 360-degree approach – one that is root-cause vs. symptom-based, and that favors natural solutions over synthetic hormones and prescription drugs. To learn more about hormone health as we age go to drprudencehall.com and follow Dr. Hall on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube @DrPrudenceHall*Note: there were a few connection issues during the recording affecting the sound quality Visit ConfidenceThroughHealth.com to find discounts to some of our favorite products.Follow me via All In Health and Wellness on Facebook or Instagram.Find my books on Amazon: No More Sugar Coating: Finding Your Happiness in a Crowded World and Confidence Through Health: Live the Healthy Lifestyle God DesignedProduction credit: Social Media Cowboys

Let's talk about that mysterious, relentless bloating that seems to appear (or worsen) as we step into midlife. If you feel like your jeans fit differently by the end of the day, or you're suddenly experiencing tummy troubles you never had before, you're not alone – and you're not imagining things. Hormonal shifts during perimenopause don't just mess with our moods or energy levels—they can have a huge impact on our gut. Our estrogen, progesterone, and even thyroid hormones all play critical roles in gut function. When those hormones start to fluctuate, the gut can become more sensitive, digestion can slow down, and inflammation levels can rise.  Bloating is your body's way of asking for detective work. Maybe it's a case of poor transit time, low stomach acid, SIBO, or certain bacteria (hello methane or hydrogen sulfide producers!) making themselves at home. That's why it's so important to get personalized testing and work with someone who truly understands the microbiome—not one-size-fits-all protocols or quick fixes that can do more harm than good. In this episode:  How Your Hormones Mess With Your Gut: Learn how shifts in estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid can trigger bloating and impact digestion. Transit Time Matters: Find out why pooping daily isn't enough—you need to understand your transit time for true gut health. Thyroid's Surprising Role: Get the scoop on how sluggish thyroid function can slow things down and lead to major bloating (and exactly which labs to ask your doctor for!). Enzyme & Stomach Acid Secrets: Discover Tara's favorite enzyme supplement, plus the critical role of stomach acid (and how to spot signs of deficiency). Testing, Not Guessing: Why stool testing is THE gold standard for uncovering the real root of your bloating—and how to choose the right practitioner.   Watch on Youtube HERE.    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **BLACK FRIDAY SALE** Save up to $400 on a TPS Quick Start testing package.

I don't define myself by my past, but it's a big part of my story. In 2010, my five-year-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer, and just a year later, I was too, but with thyroid cancer at 41. Fast forward to now, at 55, I'm navigating menopause and constantly learning what it truly means to thrive - body, mind, spirit and soul - to this next chapter of my life.Along the way, I went back to college, became a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, earned numerous certifications, and started this podcast just before the pandemic. I come to you not only as a practitioner and a podcaster, but as a woman who's lived it, someone driven by passion over profit, and a genuine desire to help others heal, grow, and live with more vitality, purpose, and joy.I break down DHT's role in scalp thinning and the telltale clues like new facial hair, acne flares, mood changes - then share practical interventions you can discuss with your practitioner. You'll learn how to vet red light therapy for real results (the right wavelengths, power, and session cadence), when a follicle can be rescued versus when a transplant is the only option, and why consistency matters more than hype. We also tackle the big “hidden” drivers: chronic stress, medication-induced nutrient depletions, and blood sugar dysregulation that inflames the scalp and nudges androgen pathways in the wrong direction.The goal isn't a one-size-fits-all supplement; it's a personalized plan built on bioindividuality.Follow, leave a rating & review & share it with someone who needs clarity.

What role does thyroid artery embolization play in contemporary thyroid cancer care? Dr. Juan Camacho, an interventional radiologist from Sarasota, Florida, joins host Dr. Sabeen Dhand to discuss how this emerging technique is reshaping the management of thyroid malignancies. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Camacho shares his experiences establishing a multidisciplinary team at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center dedicated to the management of thyroid malignancies, highlighting the critical role of collaboration in the successful implementation of this emerging treatment. He details key procedural techniques, emphasizing the importance of recognizing anatomic variations that can influence technical success. He also examines how arterial supply and lesion location inform procedural planning and decision-making, and outlines his technical approach to thyroid artery embolization, including the use of a radial artery access, catheter selection strategies, and the application of cone-beam CT for procedural optimization. Finally, he reviews his pre- and post-procedural management strategies, including the role of beta blockers in optimizing patient outcomes. The discussion concludes with illustrative case studies demonstrating substantial reductions in thyroid volume and symptomatic relief, notably achieved without post-procedural hypothyroidism. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction03:31 - Pioneering Thyroid Ablation at Sloan Kettering06:53 - The Need for Thyroid Artery Embolization25:08 - Pre-Procedural Planning32:41 - Embolization Technique and Procedure44:48 - Choosing the Right Catheter for the Job45:43 - Ensuring Patient Comfort and Safety47:09 - High-Stakes Imaging and Safety Protocols47:55 - Innovative Techniques and Case Studies51:02 - Post-Procedure Management and Follow-Up56:30 - Engaging with Endocrinology and Surgeons01:00:00 - Case Studies and Practical Applications
