If you've been told your thyroid is “fine” but you're still exhausted, gaining weight, losing hair, feeling cold, constipated, or struggling with brain fog, there may be more to the story.In this episode, Dr. Taz explains why a single TSH result may not capture the full picture of thyroid health, and why symptoms can sometimes appear before traditional lab markers begin to shift.She breaks down six common warning signs of thyroid dysfunction and explores the factors that may be driving them, including Hashimoto's, chronic stress and cortisol, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, blood sugar, and environmental exposures.You'll also learn which thyroid markers can help provide a broader picture, including Free T3, Free T4, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies, and why looking at patterns over time can be just as important as looking at a single number.In this episode:Why “normal” and “optimal” thyroid function are not always the sameWhy TSH is only one part of the thyroid picture6 common signs of thyroid dysfunctionThe connection between Hashimoto's and thyroid antibodiesHow stress and cortisol can affect thyroid functionThe role of iron, iodine, selenium, and zincHow gut health and blood sugar connect to thyroid healthWhich thyroid labs Dr. Taz looks atHow a root-cause approach connects symptoms, labs, and lifestyleIf you want to go deeper on thyroid health, listen to Dr. Taz's conversation with Dr. Amie Hornaman, The Thyroid Fixer, for a deeper discussion of thyroid symptoms, testing, and root causes.Learn more or schedule a consultation with a HOL+ provider at holplus.co/appointments.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) episode, Peter takes a deep dive into thyroid health and explains why diagnosing and managing thyroid dysfunction is unusually complex. He begins with the basic biology of the thyroid gland and three commonly measured hormones—free T4, free T3, and TSH. He explains how T4 is converted to the active hormone T3 and the important functions T3 performs throughout the body. He also explains what reverse T3 is and when it may be useful to measure it. Peter then breaks down thyroid blood tests and their limitations and provides a practical framework for evaluating suspected thyroid dysfunction. He explains why symptoms alone are insufficient for diagnosis and reviews the criteria for diagnosing hypothyroidism, along with conditions that can mimic it. He also explores how hypothyroidism can be both underdiagnosed and overtreated and how to navigate subclinical hypothyroidism. Peter discusses treatment with T4 and T3, including why some patients continue to experience symptoms despite standard T4 replacement. He also explains how thyroid medications should be taken to optimize absorption. Additional topics include Hashimoto's disease, thyroid considerations during pregnancy, hyperthyroidism, the risks of excess iodine, and supplements marketed to support thyroid function. Finally, Peter offers guidance for patients who continue to feel unwell despite apparently normal thyroid tests.

Could an iodine deficiency be the hidden reason you're struggling with your weight, feeling exhausted, or dealing with thyroid problems?Iodine plays a critical role in thyroid hormone production, metabolism, and overall health—but what happens when you're not getting enough? In this episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I explore the connection between iodine deficiency, thyroid function, unexplained weight changes, fatigue, and other common symptoms that may be easy to overlook.If you've been struggling with stubborn weight, low energy, or thyroid concerns, this conversation may help you understand an often-overlooked piece of the puzzle.Listen until the end to learn what iodine really does in the body and why thyroid health goes far beyond simply checking your thyroid levels.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Acceleradine® Iodine https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/acceleradine-iodine-supplement • Accelerated Liver Care® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-liver-care • Accelerated Thyroid® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-thyroid-supplement • Accelerated Ancient Salt® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-ancient-salt-4-oz Not sure what food to eat and avoid?

I'm breaking down the clinical clues I pay attention to when someone struggles with migraines and why certain vitamins, thyroid function, blood sugar, hormones, and gut health may all play a role depending on the person. I'll also talk about why the timing of your migraines matters. If your headaches changed around the same time as your digestion, menstrual cycle, energy, thyroid symptoms, or other changes in your health, those patterns may offer important clues.And if you've been experiencing symptoms that seem completely unrelated to your migraines, your gut may be part of the bigger picture. My 2-Minute Gut Health Check can help you identify whether your digestion could be contributing to more of what you're feeling than you realize.This episode will help you think differently about migraines and understand which questions may be worth asking next.

Some practitioners warn that iodine, especially higher-dose forms such as Lugol's iodine, may trigger thyroid dysfunction, Hashimoto's, or hyperthyroidism, while others argue that iodine deficiency is widespread and often overlooked. In this episode, Judy Cho examines the Wolff–Chaikoff effect, iodine's role beyond the thyroid, and why iodized salt may not provide enough iodine for optimal health.The deeper history raises an even more important question: are we blaming supplemental iodine while ignoring other exposures that may have affected thyroid health for generations? Judy explores radioactive iodine, nuclear fallout, contaminated food supplies, and the historical events that may have shaped today's fear around iodine. She also explains why the distinction between nutritional iodine and radioactive iodine matters before deciding whether iodine is helpful or harmful.Is iodine dangerous for your thyroid?The Wolff–Chaikoff effect explainedIodine deficiency, bromide, fluoride, and chlorideThe forgotten history of radioactive iodine exposureWhat government research found about thyroid riskRadioactive iodine exposureUnderstanding the difference between supplemental iodine vs. radioactive iodine_____EPISODE REFERENCESThyroid Dose and Risk Calculator for Nuclear Weapons Fallout for the US PopulationExposure of the American People to Iodine-131 from Nevada Nuclear-Bomb TestsCDC Fallout Study Table of ContentsChapter 8 of CDC Results US Before and After exposureHow to Take Iodine Episodes Lynne Farrow InterviewIodine EpisodesFree Iodine Guide _____WEEKLY NEWSLETTER

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky explores mushrooms and thyroid health, with a particular focus on Graves' disease and Hashimoto's. One common concern is whether mushrooms “boost” the immune system and therefore should be avoided by people with autoimmune conditions. Dr. Eric explains why it may be more accurate to think of mushrooms as immune modulators and discusses how their polysaccharides, beta-glucans, and other compounds may influence regulatory T cells and Th17 cells involved in autoimmunity.Dr. Eric also looks at the potential benefits of mushrooms for the gut microbiome and compares culinary mushrooms with concentrated medicinal mushroom supplements. He takes a closer look at reishi, cordyceps, lion's mane, maitake, chaga, shiitake, and turkey tail, including research suggesting cordyceps may have potential benefits for thyroid antibodies. He also discusses what to consider when choosing a mushroom supplement, including extracts versus powders, third-party testing, fruiting bodies versus mycelium, beta-glucans, and precautions for certain individuals.Ultimately, mushrooms shouldn't be viewed as a treatment for Graves' disease or Hashimoto's or as a replacement for identifying triggers, healing the gut, and addressing other underlying factors. However, both culinary and medicinal mushrooms may have a place in a whole-body approach to supporting gut and immune health.

Can someone really look into your eyes and learn something about what's happening inside your body?I've been fascinated by iridology for years, so I invited naturopath and iridologist Dr. Angel Hill to finally help me understand it.Angel is a second-generation naturopath who has studied thousands of eyes during her career. She explains how iridology works, what she looks for in the iris, and why she considers it a non-invasive, non-diagnostic tool for helping her clients understand their bodies.We also get into a much bigger conversation about taking responsibility for our health and learning some of the signals our bodies may be giving us.In this episode, we talk about:• What iridology is and how Angel uses it• What an iridology chart looks like• What Angel calls “stress lines” in the eyes• The connection between iridology and homesteading• Gut health and why Angel considers it foundational• Cortisol, insulin, thyroid, and what Angel calls “Hormone Heaven”• Why protein matters, especially with your first meal• Getting outside in the morning and evening• Minerals and electrolytes• Simple ways to become more observant and proactive about your health• Why learning about our bodies can be another form of self-relianceAngel also shares three simple practices she recommends people start with:Get about 30 grams of protein with your first meal.Spend at least 10 minutes outside in the morning.Make sure you're getting adequate minerals and electrolytes.This conversation reminded me of something I believe deeply about homesteading: self-reliance isn't just about growing food, preserving the harvest, or preparing for emergencies. It's also about learning how to care for the body God gave us.Connect with Dr. Angel HillWebsite — https://angelhillonline.com/Book a consult — https://drangelhill.practicebetter.io/YouTube — https://www.youtube.com/@AngelEyes32570Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/angeleyes32570Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/angeleyes32570/Angel also has a video explaining iridology, including examples of eyes and some of the things she looks for.

If you have Hashimoto's but still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or like your body just isn't functioning the way it should, your thyroid may only be part of the story.Hashimoto's is an autoimmune condition, which means the real question isn't just, “What is my TSH?” It's also: What may be keeping my immune system activated in the first place?In this episode, I uncover the warning signs your body may be sending, why treating the thyroid alone can leave important pieces unanswered, and the often-overlooked connections.And make sure you listen to the end, because one hidden trigger may be helping keep the autoimmune response going.

Send us Fan MailThyroid Talk with Dr. Angela Mazza, DOShow Notes Episode 50; Recorded: August 8, 2026The Iron Paradox: Iron, Thyroid Health, and FerroptosisHost: Dr. Angela Mazza, DOCo-host: Dawn Sheffield I'm Dr. Angela Mazza, D.O., a thyroid, endocrine, and metabolism specialist with a private practice in Central Florida. My goal for this podcast is to define and demystify the thyroid gland, and thyroid-related medical conditions. By providing information in an easy-to-understand format, we hope to help patients better understand the ways in which their bodies work, and to help them thrive. My goal is to help us live more fulfilling lives by taking control of our health, to feel our best. I do this podcast to provide life-saving education and encourage patients to see a doctor in time to prevent or minimize damage. That's deeply fulfilling. I enjoy helping folks understand how all aspects of their lives are tied to both thyroid and overall health. That's why I went into endocrinology. It's a medical art that combines science with the study of our lives—and all that they encompass. Here's some of what we covered in episode 50, not necessarily in this order: · Iron is involved in some of the most fundamental processes in human physiology.· What is ferroptosis? Is it science fiction--or science fact?· Iron may play a big role in inflammation, oxidative stress, aging biology, & longevity.· Iron is an essential mineral that the body requires for survival.· Iron helps us form hemoglobin--the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body.· When iron levels are inadequate, cells may struggle to produce energy efficiently.· Symptoms of low iron may mimic those of hypo--that is, low--thyroid. · Iron deficiency can directly affect thyroid physiology itself.· Who tends to be most vulnerable to iron deficiency?· And best of all we learned that we CAN impact our thyroid health!My book, Thyroid Talk: An Integrative Guide to Optimal Thyroid Health, is available on Amazon.

What if your low energy, anemia, premature gray hair, and sluggish metabolism aren't separate problems—but clues pointing to the same underlying mineral deficiency?In this episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I explore the surprising connection between mineral deficiencies, iron metabolism, thyroid function, hair pigmentation, energy production, and metabolic health. You'll learn why simply taking iron may not always address the root cause and what essential mineral could be missing from the bigger picture.Your symptoms may be trying to tell you something.Listen until the end to discover the mineral connection that could change the way you think about anemia, gray hair, and a slow metabolism.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Accelerated Scalar Copper® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-scalar-copper • Accelerated Thyroid® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-thyroid-supplement • Accelerated Liver Care® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-liver-care Not sure what food to eat and avoid?

What if your low energy, stubborn weight gain, brain fog, poor recovery, mood changes, and stalled progress aren't simply signs that you need to work harder—but clues that your thyroid isn't functioning optimally? Dr. Amie Hornaman, author of The Thyroid Fix, joins us to explain why she considers the thyroid the body's "master gland" and why standard thyroid testing may not tell the entire story. They break down TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3 and thyroid antibodies; the difference between "normal" and optimal lab results; Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism; and when thyroid hormone replacement may be appropriate. Amie also explains how gluten, over-exercising, chronic under-eating, nutrient deficiencies and aggressive GLP-1 use may affect thyroid health and metabolism. Plus, she explains the importance of iodine, selenium, magnesium, protein and dietary fat, detoxification, and so much more!

Are you struggling with adrenal fatigue, chronic stress, blood sugar imbalances, or symptoms that seem to get worse no matter what you do? Could an overwhelmed stress response system be affecting your thyroid health, hormones, energy, sleep, metabolism, and ability to heal?In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Andrew Neville to take a deeper look at what we commonly call “adrenal fatigue” and what's actually happening inside the body when we've been under too much stress for too long. We talk about how your adrenals, nervous system, limbic system, and thyroid are all connected, and why stress is about so much more than simply feeling overwhelmed.Dr. Neville breaks down the idea behind the “stress bucket” analogy and why physical, mental, emotional, and environmental stressors can build on one another over time. When that bucket gets too full, your nervous system can become increasingly sensitive and stuck in fight-or-flight, which may help explain why seemingly small stressors begin creating much bigger reactions in the body.I especially wanted to dig into the connection between chronic stress and thyroid health because this is something I see so often in women with Hashimoto's. We talk about how the stress response can affect thyroid hormone production and conversion, why simply supporting the thyroid may not address the entire picture, and how cortisol and stress can also influence blood sugar, insulin resistance, weight, energy, and cravings.Most importantly, this conversation is about understanding why your body may be responding the way it is and finding ways to create more capacity for healing. Dr. Neville shares practical places to start, including focusing on reducing the stressors we can control, supporting more rest-and-digest activity, meditation and nervous system regulation, and keeping blood sugar more stable. You don't have to eliminate every source of stress from your life, but you can start by creating a little more space in your “stress bucket” and supporting your body in the areas you can control.Disclaimer: This information is being provided to you for educational and informational purposes only.

Why are thyroid disorders, hormone imbalances, and certain chronic illnesses becoming more common? In this episode, Dr. Jen speaks with integrative medicine pioneer Dr. David Brownstein about iodine deficiency, thyroid health, environmental toxins, natural hormone therapy, and the limitations of symptom-focused medicine. Dr. Brownstein shares how his father's dramatic improvement with thyroid and testosterone treatment changed the course of his medical career, eventually leading him to investigate iodine's role throughout the body. They discuss how bromide and fluoride may interfere with iodine, why iodized salt may not provide enough for every tissue, how iodine status can be assessed, and why individualized, root-cause care remains central to long-term health. Dr. David Brownstein, MD, is a board-certified family physician, Medical Director of the Center for Holistic Medicine in West Bloomfield, Michigan, and a leading voice in integrative medicine. After recognizing that conventional medications often failed to address the underlying causes of chronic illness, he shifted his practice toward nutrition, hormone balance, thyroid care, environmental medicine, and individualized treatment. Dr. Brownstein is the author of numerous books, including Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It, and is widely known for his clinical work involving iodine, natural thyroid therapy, salt, hormonal health, and environmental toxins.Website: https://www.drbrownstein.comPODCAST: Thank you for listening please subscribe and share!

Hashimoto's, thyroid dysfunction, and hormone imbalance — Sophie Shepherd, founder of She Talks Health and host of the She Talks Health Podcast, joins Freddie Kimmel to break down why "balancing your hormones" is usually the wrong starting point. A Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner who works primarily with women navigating Hashimoto's, thyroid issues, and mystery symptoms like fatigue, bloating, anxiety, and brain fog, Sophie shares her own decade-long health story — from unexplained teenage digestive pain to a hypothyroid diagnosis dismissed as "normal labs" — and the path that led her out of theater and into functional medicine. The conversation covers hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) testing, why mineral balancing (especially copper, zinc, and manganese) can restore fertility and regulate cycles without directly touching hormones, the limits of hormone panels like the Dutch test for irregular cycles, and why chronic stress — emotional, physical, and environmental — is the upstream driver hiding behind most "hormone problems." Sophie and Freddie also get into red light therapy for thyroid inflammation, an honest take on cold plunging for women with Hashimoto's, subconscious rewiring tools like the quantum time technique, and a candid conversation about trust, bio-individuality, and the sponsorship-driven infighting in the health influencer space.

Your thyroid may be small, but it plays a major role in your energy, metabolism, hormones, mood, and overall health. In this conversation, Dr. Michelle Robin and Bayleigh Soza sit down with Dr. Alicia Johnson to discuss common thyroid conditions, why symptoms can occur even when labs appear normal, and the importance of looking beyond surface-level answers. Together, they explore how stress, nutrition, blood sugar, hormones, vitamin D, and environmental factors can impact thyroid function. Dr. Johnson shares practical strategies for supporting thyroid health and explains how small, proactive steps can help prevent bigger health challenges in the future. Key Takeaways: Your thyroid influences every cell in your body, impacting energy, metabolism, mood, hormones, digestion, and overall health. Thyroid symptoms can occur even when standard thyroid lab results appear normal, making comprehensive testing important. Stress, blood sugar imbalances, environmental toxins, hormone fluctuations, and nutrient deficiencies can all affect thyroid function. Prevention matters—tracking health markers early can help identify issues before they become major health challenges. Simple lifestyle habits such as eating whole foods, maintaining healthy vitamin D levels, managing stress, and supporting key nutrients can improve thyroid and endocrine health.

Is magnesium glycinate really enough to support your thyroid? Magnesium glycinate is often praised for its benefits—but when it comes to thyroid health, taking magnesium alone may not address the bigger picture.In this episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I explore why magnesium glycinate won't “fix” your thyroid by itself, what your thyroid actually needs to function properly, and the often-overlooked factors that could be affecting thyroid hormone production, conversion, and overall metabolic health.If you're struggling with low thyroid function, fatigue, weight changes, brain fog, low energy, or stubborn symptoms despite taking supplements, this is an episode you don't want to miss.Listen until the end to discover what may be missing from your thyroid-support strategy.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Acceleradine® Iodine https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/acceleradine-iodine-supplement • Accelerated Thyroid® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-thyroid-supplement Not sure what food to eat and avoid?

Struggling with Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism and wondering whether thyroid medication could actually help you feel better? How do you know which thyroid labs to test, whether you need T3 or T4, and if medication belongs in your thyroid healing journey?In this episode, I'm sitting down with Dr. Jen Mann, a naturopathic doctor who understands this struggle on a deeply personal level. Jen and I both experienced thyroid and gut issues from a young age, and we talk about what it's like to spend years pushing through fatigue, depression, brain fog, digestive problems, and other symptoms before finally getting answers.We also dive into thyroid medication, a topic that is usually surrounded by a lot of confusion for women with thyroid disease. We break down the differences between T3 and T4, synthetic and compounded options, what your thyroid labs can tell you, and why how you actually feel matters just as much as the numbers on a piece of paper. Our goal is to take away some of the shame around needing medication and remind you that thyroid support doesn't have to be all-natural or all-medication. It can be both.And as always, we're looking beyond the thyroid itself. We talk about gut health, stress, hormones, nutrition, rest, and the other pieces that can influence how your body feels and functions. If you have Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism and you're tired of wondering whether you're doing the "right" thing, this episode will help you better understand your options and feel more empowered to find the approach that works for your body.Disclaimer: This information is being provided to you for educational and informational purposes only.

Sometimes the symptoms we experience are not the real problem. They are messages from the body asking us to pay attention. In this reflective episode, Dr. Michelle Robin and Bayleigh Soza unpack the powerful lessons from their recent series on self-violation, trauma, stress, and finding your voice. Together, they explore how chronic stress, suppressed emotions, unresolved experiences, and daily habits can influence physical health, particularly thyroid function. Through personal stories and practical examples, they challenge listeners to become more curious about what their bodies may be trying to communicate. The conversation highlights the importance of viewing health through the lens of the Four Quadrants of Wellbeing: mechanical, chemical, energetical, and psycho-spiritual. From gut health and nervous system regulation to emotional honesty and self-awareness, Dr. Robin shares how seemingly unrelated symptoms may be connected to deeper patterns in our lives. This episode serves as an invitation to slow down, listen to your body, speak your truth, and embrace a whole-person approach to healing and long-term wellbeing. Key Takeaways: Your body is constantly communicating through symptoms, and curiosity is often the first step toward healing. Chronic stress, unresolved emotions, and lifestyle habits can influence thyroid health and overall wellbeing. Looking at health through the Four Quadrants of Wellbeing helps uncover root causes instead of only treating symptoms. Speaking your truth and becoming honest with yourself can be an important part of emotional and physical healing. Small daily habits like quality sleep, movement, blood sugar balance, and nervous system regulation can significantly impact long-term health.

Could new FDA rules change what happens with your thyroid medication? If you take thyroid medication—or rely on prescriptions to manage thyroid symptoms—there are important changes you need to understand.In this episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I break down the FDA's new thyroid medication rules, what they could mean for patients, and why simply managing thyroid numbers may not address the root causes of thyroid dysfunction.Your thyroid affects far more than your energy. It can influence metabolism, weight, hormones, body temperature, mood, and overall vitality—which is why understanding the bigger picture matters.Listen until the end to learn what this FDA update could mean for you and why looking beyond medication may be the key to supporting your thyroid long-term.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Acceleradine® Iodine https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/acceleradine-iodine-supplement • Accelerated Thyroid® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-thyroid-supplement Not sure what food to eat and avoid?

I am honored to connect with Dr. Eric Osansky today. He is a chiropractic physician, clinical nutritionist, and functional medicine provider. He is also an author who loves to write about hyperthyroidism and a lifestyle-focused approach to it. In today's conversation, Dr. Osansky unpacks his own Graves diagnosis in 2008 and highlights the typical symptoms of hyperthyroidism, the unique physiology of thyroid dysfunction, and specific risk factors. We explore traditional treatment pathways, the influence of low-dose naltrexone and other immunomodulatory supplements, and the gut-thyroid axis. We also discuss how most of our immune system is located in the gut, the influence of leaky gut and autoimmune disease, perimenopause as a trigger window for symptoms, and how these often overlap with thyroid health. Stay tuned for an interesting and insightful conversation on thyroid health, Graves' disease, hyperthyroidism, and more. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: What Graves' disease is, and how it differs from other causes of hyperthyroidism The first symptom of Graves' disease that Dr. Osansky experienced, and other common symptoms of Graves' disease Genetics, environmental triggers, and other factors that could contribute to autoimmune thyroid disease Conventional treatment options that are available for Graves' disease, how they work, and why treatment decisions should be individualized Why Dr. Osansky recommends continuing to support immune and gut health after radioactive iodine or thyroid surgery How low-dose naltrexone may help some people with Graves' disease modulate their immune systems Foods, lifestyle measures, and supplements that can support immune regulation alongside appropriate medical care The relationship between the gut microbiome, intestinal permeability ("leaky gut"), and autoimmunity How thyroid symptoms and hormone changes during midlife can overlap, and why laboratory testing is important when symptoms overlap Bio: Eric Osansky Dr. Eric Osansky is a chiropractor, clinical nutritionist, and certified functional medicine practitioner who has been helping people with hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's since 2009. He is the author of the books "Natural Treatment Solutions for Hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease", "The Hyperthyroid Healing Diet", and "Hashimoto's Triggers", and is the host of the Save My Thyroid podcast.

Send us Fan MailThyroid Talk with Dr. Angela Mazza, DOShow Notes Episode 49; Recorded: August 9, 2026The Birth Control Pill: Helpful Hormone Tool or Hormone Disruptor?Host: Dr. Angela Mazza, DOCo-host: Dawn Sheffield I'm Dr. Angela Mazza, D.O., a thyroid, endocrine, and metabolism specialist with a private practice in Central Florida. My goal for this podcast is to define and demystify the thyroid gland, and thyroid-related medical conditions. By providing information in an easy-to-understand format, we hope to help patients better understand the ways in which their bodies work, and to help them thrive. My goal is to help us live more fulfilling lives by taking control of our health, to feel our best. I do this podcast to provide life-saving education and encourage patients to see a doctor in time to prevent or minimize damage. That's deeply fulfilling. I enjoy helping folks understand how all aspects of their lives are tied to both thyroid and overall health. That's why I went into endocrinology. It's a medical art that combines science with the study of our lives—and all that they encompass. Here's some of what we covered in episode 49, not necessarily in this order: · How birth control pills work in the body;· Why some patients struggle with side effects;· How birth control pills help some patients feel better;· What birth control pills are used for beyond contraception;· Birth control pills are both hormone helpers and hormone disruptors;· What birth control pills and an integrative endocrinology approach look like;· Hormones influence many systems in the body, which is why thoughtful conversations about risks, benefits, and individual responses are so important.· And best of all we learned that we CAN impact our thyroid health!

Is your thyroid really the problem... or is cortisol secretly sabotaging it?If you're doing everything right—eating healthy, taking thyroid medication or supplements, exercising, and still struggling with stubborn weight gain, exhaustion, brain fog, anxiety, or hair loss, your stress hormone cortisol could be the hidden reason.In this eye-opening episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I uncover the powerful connection between cortisol and thyroid health and explain why chronic stress may be slowing your metabolism, disrupting hormone balance, and preventing your body from healing. Learn how elevated cortisol can interfere with thyroid hormone production, conversion, and cellular function, leaving you feeling stuck despite your best efforts.Whether you're dealing with hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's disease, adrenal dysfunction, chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalance, or unexplained thyroid symptoms, this episode offers science-backed insights and practical strategies to help you reclaim your energy and optimize your health.Listen until the end to discover the warning signs of high cortisol, how it impacts your thyroid, and the simple lifestyle changes that can help restore balance naturally.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Acceleradine® Iodine https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/acceleradine-iodine-supplement • Accelerated Thyroid® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-thyroid-supplement • Accelerated Ancient Salt® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-ancient-salt-4-oz Not sure what food to eat and avoid?

We often think of health interventions as inherently good or bad. But according to Dr. Eric Balcavage, the better question is whether an intervention matches the current state of your body. In this episode of Thyroid-Healthy Bites, Dr. Balcavage explains why an intervention has to match the physiology of the person receiving it. A body that's well-rested, adequately nourished, and resilient may respond very differently than one that's under chronic stress, under-fueled, or already struggling to adapt. This is the foundation of what he calls State-Based Medicine—a framework that helps explain why the same intervention can help one person but backfire in another. Together, we discuss: What State-Based Medicine is, and how it changes the way we think about hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's Why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to thyroid health Why thyroid symptoms can persist despite medication How stress, sleep, blood sugar, nutrition, exercise, and gut health influence thyroid physiology When "healthy" habits like restrictive dieting or overexercising can actually increase stress on the body Signs you may be under-fueling or placing too many demands on your body The importance (and limitations) of comprehensive testing If you've been searching for the "perfect" thyroid protocol, this conversation offers a refreshing new perspective. Instead of asking, "What's the best diet, supplement, medication, or treatment?" Dr. Balcavage encourages us to ask a different question: What state is my body in, and what does it need right now?
Are you taking thyroid medication but still struggling with fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, hair loss, or low energy? You're not alone. Many people assume their medication should fix everything—but the real issue may go much deeper.In this eye-opening episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I uncover why thyroid medication alone may not be enough and explore the hidden factors that could be preventing you from feeling your best. From nutrient deficiencies and gut health to inflammation, hormone balance, and the emerging role of peptides, you'll discover why so many people continue to experience hypothyroid symptoms despite "normal" lab results.If you've ever wondered, "Why do I still feel awful even though I'm taking thyroid medication?" this episode is for you.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Acceleradine® Iodine https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/acceleradine-iodine-supplement • Accelerated Liver Care® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-liver-care• Accelerated Thyroid® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-thyroid-supplement Not sure what food to eat and avoid?

I have something SO amazing for you. Our mineral-heavy water started impacting my skin the moment we moved, and I had never experienced eczema or skin issues in my life. Hard water can strip natural oils, disrupt the microbiome, and weaken the skin barrier — leaving you inflamed, reactive, and stuck in flare-ups. That's exactly what happened to my neck, and within almost two weeks of using Herbal Face Food, my eczema is almost gone. This stuff is legit — and I only share my favorite things that actually work. Their formulas are made with ultra-potent, organic, whole-plant botanicals rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and phytonutrients that calm inflammation, rebuild the skin barrier, and fight visible signs of aging instead of masking symptoms. The Cure is their most targeted antioxidant treatment designed to visibly improve stubborn concerns like eczema, melasma, rosacea, scarring, sun damage, and deeper signs of aging.

What if the GLP-1 conversation is bigger than weight loss? In this episode, I sit down with McCall McPherson, PA-C, thyroid expert and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic. We have a candid, nuanced discussion about GLP-1 receptor agonists, the clinical questions that extend beyond the scale, and why safety, nutrition, medication sourcing, and individualized follow-up must stay at the center of the conversation. McCall shares the clinical observations that led her team to explore low-dose approaches with some thyroid patients, including questions around inflammation and autoimmune symptoms. We also discuss what is established, what remains under study, and why an episode conversation should never replace a personal discussion with a licensed clinician. Important clinical note: The episode includes discussion of microdosing and possible anti-inflammatory applications. These ideas may be outside FDA-approved uses and are not a plan for self-treatment. Do not start, stop, split, or change a prescription medicine without guidance from a qualified prescriber.

Today, Brooke shares the story behind a major evolution in The Well Nourished Mama and why she's narrowing her focus to helping women navigate Hashimoto's, thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune conditions, and the root causes that often drive them. After her own challenging health journey, Brooke began noticing a troubling pattern—not just in her personal experience, but in the lives of countless mothers she was working with. Women were experiencing debilitating symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, digestive issues, mood swings, low milk supply, hormone imbalances, and weight changes, only to be repeatedly dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told their symptoms were simply part of motherhood. For many, answers didn't come until they received a sudden autoimmune diagnosis, often after months or years of being told everything was "normal." Even then, many mothers were left feeling hopeless after being told there was little they could do, especially while breastfeeding. In this episode, Brooke shares why she's passionate about helping women uncover the root causes behind their symptoms, how thyroid and autoimmune conditions are often connected to deeper imbalances in the body, and why motherhood shouldn't mean settling for survival mode. If you've ever felt like your symptoms were ignored, your concerns weren't taken seriously, or you've been told to "just wait until you're done breastfeeding," this conversation is for you.

WATCH ON YOUTUBE HERE. Have you ever looked at your HTMA results and thought: "Okay... but what does any of this actually mean?" If so, today's episode is for you. I'm joined by women's health dietitian and HTMA expert Amanda Montalvo for a deep dive into one of our favorite parts of the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test: significant ratios. Inside Nourished Fertility, HTMAs have completely transformed how we support women with period loss, fertility struggles, thyroid symptoms, and hormone imbalances. These tests allow us to see deeper than standard blood work and understand how stress, metabolism, nervous system function, thyroid health, and mineral status are impacting your fertility journey. In this conversation, Amanda breaks down exactly what significant ratios are, why they matter, and how they help us understand what's happening behind symptoms like: Missing or irregular periods Fertility challenges Low energy and burnout Thyroid symptoms Blood sugar instability Anxiety and overwhelm Difficulty recovering from stress We also discuss why hormone imbalances are often the last thing to show up in the body—and why minerals may be the missing piece you've been overlooking. If you've completed an HTMA, are considering one, or simply want a better understanding of how minerals impact fertility, this episode is a must-listen. Ready to Restore Your Fertility? If you have a missing or irregular period and you're ready to uncover the root cause, we'd love to support you inside Premier Period Recovery for Fertility.
Could your “normal” labs be missing the real reason you feel exhausted, foggy, or stuck? I'm joined by Dr. Amie Hornaman, known as The Thyroid Fixer, to talk about why so many women over 40 are told their labs are normal while still feeling tired, foggy, inflamed, and unable to lose weight. We dig into thyropause, Hashimoto's, reverse T3, thyroid medication, and the exact labs women should ask for if they want real answers. My hope is that this episode helps you stop blaming yourself and start testing, advocating, and getting the support your body actually needs. What you'll learn: (06:28) Why Dr. Amie Hornaman believes “thyropause” deserves more attention for women over 40. (07:56) Why standard thyroid testing often misses what is actually happening inside the body. (11:20) How Hashimoto's, hormonal shifts, stress, toxins, and autoimmune triggers may contribute to thyroid issues. (13:15) Why TSH alone may not tell the full story of your thyroid health. (14:43) How reverse T3 can push the body into a survival-mode state that slows metabolism. (17:22) Which thyroid labs Dr. Hornaman recommends asking your doctor to run. (24:30) How thyroid symptoms and perimenopause symptoms can overlap and influence one another. (43:35) How GLP-1s, inflammation, and thyroid optimization may intersect when used appropriately.
