If you've been told your labs are “normal” but still feel bloated, tired, cold, constipated, or losing hair—this episode is for you. Liz and Becca break down why most thyroid issues aren't actually thyroid issues, and why medication alone often doesn't fix the problem. They dive into the real root causes behind symptoms like hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's, thyroid resistance, under-conversion, and pituitary dysfunction—and explain how stress, gut health, liver function, nutrient deficiencies, and hormone imbalances all play a major role. You'll learn what most doctors miss, how to read beyond the standard TSH test, and what to do if you've been stuck in thyroid limbo for years. ***

Hey Friend, Have you ever walked out of the doctor's office with this phrase stuck in your head?

Could your unexplained thyroid symptoms be traced back to a brain injury you barely remember?Dr. Eric reveals the link between brain trauma and thyroid dysfunction that most medical professionals overlook. TBIs can compromise the brain's control center for thyroid function, leading to central hypothyroidism and impaired recovery. Beyond direct damage, brain injuries trigger inflammatory responses that potentially initiate autoimmune processes affecting thyroid health. If you've ever suffered a concussion or head trauma, this is an episode that you can't miss. Understanding the connection between brain injuries and thyroid health could be the answer to your healing journey.Episode Timeline: 0:01 – Podcast Intro0:34 – Opening the Q&A on Brain Injuries and Thyroid Health0:52 – Examining the Link Between Brain Injuries and Autoimmunity1:13 – Key Insights From "The Role of Autoimmunity After Traumatic Brain Injury"1:30 – How TBI Damages Brain Cells and Disrupts the Blood-Brain Barrier2:20 – Can TBI Trigger Autoimmune Reactions?

Episode #197 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: Is the transition from peri-menopause to post-menopause without using HRT easier if you are eating holistically and lowering insulin? [01:52] I've just joined the TFM Community and feel like my learning curve is vertical! Should I learn the science behind it all first and then start with TRE, moving onto some 24s before joining a coaching group, and then dive into therapeutic fasting, or would it be better to join a coaching group from the start? [04:47] I read that it is difficult to avoid loose skin using autophagy when you have gained and lost weight repeatedly. Is this true? [08:18]  Are there any special tricks or accommodations that I need to include in my fasting schedule when I have thyroid issues? [11:04]  I've read your blog post about who should avoid fat bombs, but how does that apply to a fat fast? How many grams of fat should we be eating per meal, per day on a fat fast? [14:27] Last summer, my DEXA scans went from osteopenia to osteoporosis. Since then, I've been weight training two to three times a week. What is the best way to fit my workouts in around my fasting schedules? [20:46] Which fasting protocols would you recommend for the last 5% of a weight-loss goal?

“You can't isolate the thyroid from the rest of the endocrine system.” - Dr. Dana GibbsThyroid health issues commonly go beyond the endocrine system and involve the metabolic and immune systems. The siloed nature of conventional medicine specialties combined with inadequate testing means that many women continue to live their lives in suboptimal health due to undiagnosed thyroid conditions.Today, I'm excited to share my conversation with board-certified ENT and hormone expert Dr. Dana Gibbs. Dr. Gibbs has a fascinating story of how her healing journey came about after realizing she had never felt completely well in her entire life. Like so many of us, once she learned about the root causes of these issues, her whole career trajectory changed.Our stories ignited our passion for healing others, but one individual's experience is not enough to safely support the healing of others without further education. We need many people practicing with a broad lens, reading the literature, sharing our stories, sharing our cases, and learning from each other so that we can better serve our clients who are falling through the cracks of a system that is too hyper-specialized.In this conversation, Dr. Gibbs and I discuss the complexities of thyroid health, her surprising self-diagnosis with thyroid issues, the limitations of conventional medicine specialties, why she transitioned away from her traditional practice, the need for comprehensive thyroid evaluations, common symptoms of thyroid issues, the impact of lifestyle changes, how to create sustainable habits, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/breaking-out-of-the-traditional-healthcare-system-to-heal-thyroid-issues-from-the-root-cause-with-dr-dana-gibbs/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).

What is the thyroid and what does it do?  -A small butterfly shaped gland at the front of your neck.  -Produces ‘thyroid hormone' which is very important in regulating the body.  -Does a range of things from: keeping us warm, to regulating heart, brain, muscles, bowels.     What happens when your thyroid slows down and becomes underactive?  -We start to get a range of symptoms affecting all parts of the body, that are often very subtle and difficult to pick up.  -In particular weight gain and tiredness and feeling cold.  -Other symptoms may be constipation, dry skin, hair loss, muscle pain, depression, cholesterol issues.     Who gets it and what are the causes?  -More common in women over 50.  -Also more common those with issues such as Type 1 Diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.  -However, anyone can develop an underactive thyroid including babies (very rare) and children.  -Most commonly caused by immune disorder called ‘Hashimoto's Disease' where body turns off the thyroid and starts to shut the thyroid down.  -Other causes include some medication, previous thyroid treatment, iodine deficiency,     How do you diagnose and treat?  -Your GP will do a simple blood test on how your thyroid is working.  -Sometimes if the changes are very small so we just monitor.  -However, if it's causing symptoms it's treated with thyroid medication to replace the missing thyroid.  -Often need to take medication for life with periodic blood tests and medication may need dose changes.    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You know those ads you see on social media or in your YouTube sidebar? The ones that tell you they have all the secrets to weight loss, optimal health, healing your thyroid, or fixing your autoimmune disease? Heather decided to investigate! She clicked, watched, and studied. Today she reveals what she learned, how the answers were the same, and how they were different. Today's show tackles the challenge of how we all want to take care of our health and steward our bodies well, but how easily manipulated or over-whelmed we can be by influencers who have the programs and solutions that are supposed to fix us. Today Heather explores how we reconcile this tension between being responsible and taking care of my health and being obsessive and feeling like it's all on me to make sure I keep my body as healthy as possible to live a long healthy life. She also talks about the temptation we face when we start fantasizing about how great life will be if we can follow the plan and get optimally healthy and avoid all struggle. And, how eerily similar this is to the same game many of us played around trying different diets that promised to solve our weight "problems." Today Heather talks more specifically about the ways these influencers approach the  “science” and the “root cause” of our thyroid, autoimmune, or weight loss issues. And how their solutions varied.

Everyone knows the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, but did you know that the thyroid is the powerhouse of the body?

Could a yeast, or candida issue be the reason for your gut issues, your chronic fatigue and even your low thyroid? What about your weight gain and cravings? Most of my listeners are well-educated people who have heard about or even dealt with candida since it has become a more widespread issue for many in the last couple of decades. In fact, Candidemia is one of the most common bloodstream infections in the United States according to the CDC.

He is a professional member of the International and American Association of Clinical Nutritionists, The American College of Nutrition and is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for the Clinical Nutrition Certification Board. He is listed in “The Directory of Distinguished Americans” for his research in Nutrition and Physiology. He has worked with Nasa and is the creator of BioCybernetics, a cutting edge, unprecedented computer software program that is able to study blood work, mineral tests and many other lab tests to determine exactly where your body is imbalanced. In this episode, we are discussing the thyroid and how yeast, fungus and candida greatly affects it. As well as gut issues, weight gain and also how to get rid of candida once and for all. And the answers may surprise you since Dr Biamonte has cracked the code on how to end the battle of gut and thyroid distress from candida with simple recipes and protocols, so let's get into Dr B..

Why You Might Want to Stop TTC when Dealing with Fertility Issues, especially High NK Cells, Thyroid Issues & Re-occurring Miscarriages “I truly believe that most pregnancies are written in the stars, meaning that when you get pregnant, there's little to nothing you can do to make or break the pregnancy.” Topics Discussed:

Dealing with thyroid symptoms or related issues, like Hashimoto's? In this episode, we sit down with Ryan Monahan of the Mindful Nutrivore to talk about how to holistically address the root causes of thyroid issues. We explore 4 key aspects of thyroid dysfunction: infections, toxin exposure, nutrient deficiencies, and stress. The main takeaway? It's not just about quick fixes; it's about understanding and supporting your thyroid health with longterm nutrition and lifestyle shifts.Ryan Monahan is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) Level III, clinical advisor, nationally board certified with the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches, and certified Autoimmune Protocol Coach with a passion for uncovering hidden stressors that contribute to thyroid disease. Ryan spent over 10 years visiting more than 40 health professionals to find answers to his chronic health complaints until being diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 2012. Since then, his mission has been to change the dialogue about chronic disease towards a holistic, functional approach. With the help of cutting edge functional lab work, Ryan helps his clients to identify the true root causes of their primary health challenges so that they can stop wasting time and resources, and start living their best life. Typically, his clients are those who have struggled with finding relief from their autoimmune symptoms. Oftentimes, they feel that they've “tried everything”, and that traditional medicine hasn't served them. In his experience, there is a better way.In this episode, you'll learn more about:4 key areas of thyroid dysfunction and supportUnderstanding thyroid testing and markersWhy thyroid medications impact everyone differentlyConnect with Ryanhttps://www.themindfulnutrivore.com/Instagram: @TheMindfulNutrivoreThank you to Funk It Wellness for sponsoring this episode!Use code LEAH15 for 15% off at Funk It WellnessThank you to Paleovalley for sponsoring this episode!Use code LEAH for 15% off at Paleovalley.....All of Leah's favorite productsApply for 1:1 coaching You can join our private facebook group Balancing Hormones NaturallyFollow us on Instagram @balancinghormonesnaturally The recommendations presented in this podcast are not a substitute for medical advice from a qualified doctor.

In the last episode, we met Justine. As a reminder, here are a few details about her case. The Case:  Justine is 44 and dealing with sudden abdominal weight gain. She is also experiencing brain fog which is causing her stress. Her PMS is getting worse and she just doesn't feel like herself. She saw her gynecologist who suggested birth control and antidepressants.    The Investigation If you didn't hear the first part of this story, please go back and give episode 153 a listen. In that episode, I spoke about Justine's case with Emily Sadri, an expert in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and achieving hormonal harmony. Emily is a good friend to the show having previously shared her insights in episodes 141 on Semaglutide (like Ozempic) and Weight Loss and 107 on Birth Control Use with Thyroid Issues. In the last episode, we talked about the many misconceptions around hormones during perimenopause and menopause. Now, let's pick up where we left off in the last episode by looking at the timing for hormone support and the physiological restoration protocol (PR protocol).  When to Start Hormonal Support A question many women ponder is when to start supporting their hormones, especially as they transition into menopause. Emily noted that the dosage and timing of hormone support depend on whether a woman is still having a menstrual cycle regularly or if is their cycle has become irregular, for example, every 3-6 months. For instance, women who are still cycling (i.e., ovulating) might only need a minimal dosage of estrogen (1-2 milligrams) transdermally daily, while others might require more substantial support. The key is to start with a little bump up and track and monitor for changes.  The Importance of Monitoring Hormones One alarming revelation was the number of physicians who prescribe hormone replacement therapy without regular testing. Traditional doctors are often focused on resolving a singular symptom. So, if the dosage reduces, say hot flashes, then the doctor considers the problem solved. But, solving one symptom is not equal to being in optimal health. Emily and I both believe in the value of consistent monitoring. After all, our bodies are ever-changing, and what worked two years ago might not be effective today. Estrogen and Progesterone: Misunderstood Roles A common misconception is that only progesterone affects sleep. However, Emily pointed out that estrogen plays a vital role in our circadian rhythms and sleep cycles. In fact, estrogen is a precursor to serotonin, which in turn is essential for producing melatonin, our sleep hormone. It's crucial to maintain a balance between estrogen and progesterone for optimal health. All the more reason to be monitoring hormone levels once treating them, because the individual may misinterpret or miss the symptoms of a hormone imbalance. And, off-balance hormones can work against each other. Physiological Restoration: Embracing the Natural Rhythm Physiological restoration is all about mimicking the body's natural hormonal rhythms. This method called the Physiological Restoration Protocol (PR protocol), can be especially beneficial for women in perimenopause or those transitioning into menopause. This method requires the woman to adjust their daily dosage according to where they are in their cycle but it is not as complicated as it sounds since there are generally just two topical treatments to manage. There is an app that helps make it quite easy. The key is understanding that our bodies are all changing and treatment needs to flow with those changes. It's a spectrum - we're not robots, explains Emily. It's all about understanding and supporting the body's innate processes. Utilizing tools like the Dutch test can offer profound insights into hormonal health. For those navigating perimenopause, the cycle mapping feature can be especially enlightening, painting a picture of your hormone fluctuations throughout the month. However, Emily says that the simple Dutch can be misleading, so you want to also look at the organic acids section to get the full picture.  Starting Hormonal Support Later in Life If you're approaching your 50s or have already transitioned into menopause, hormonal support may still be a consideration for you, says Emily.  While earlier intervention can often provide smoother results, starting hormonal therapy within a decade of your last period can still be advantageous. Estrogen Metabolism: It's Not Just About Detox There's been a lot of talk among functional medicine practitioners about having patients detox when starting an estrogen protocol. This might include supplements like DIM or Calcium D-Glucarate. However, it's crucial to first understand an individual's estrogen metabolism before diving into detoxification. Emily likes to make sure that patients have proper methyl donation and magnesium levels. She may also look at glutathione but more for those in perimenopause (and takes caution with anyone in full menopause, being sure to monitor symptoms). Supplemental support can be important, but every woman is unique, and what works for one might not be effective for another. Supplements that Emily considers for perimenopausal and menopause on HRT include: Fish Oil B Vitamins (based on methylation) Zinc Sulforaphane In addition to the previously mentioned supplements for peri and menopause: D-Glucarate Magnesium Glutathione  DIM  Calcium D-Glucarate Mystery Solved - Getting Answers from Hidden Hormone Imbalances Taking in everything that Emily shared, it was time to solve Justine's hormone health mystery. She was thrilled to hear that there was an explanation for everything that she was experiencing. For so long, she thought she was crazy! She didn't realize that even small changes in her estrogen can cause such significant symptoms. If you're going through something similar, please know that you are not alone and you're not crazy either.  Justine's symptoms led us to explore her hormone levels in detail. We decided to conduct a Dutch test, but not just any run-of-the-mill one-day snapshot. Instead, we opted for a cycle mapping test through Dutch. This involved collecting urine samples daily throughout her menstrual cycle, creating a comprehensive picture of her hormone fluctuations. It was like doing a pregnancy test each day, but with a special card that captured vital data. What's unique about cycle mapping is that it doesn't just show us hormone levels on one specific day; it reveals the entire hormonal pattern throughout the cycle. We tracked estrogen and progesterone, observing when they surged, dipped, and in between. Additionally, we cross-referenced this data with serum tests, which analyzed her blood for total estrogen and estrogen on specific days (day 12 and day 21) and progesterone on day 21. The results were illuminating. Justine's estrogen levels were relatively good on day 12, right before ovulation, indicating that her initial hormonal signals were functioning correctly. However, the concern arose when we saw that her estrogen levels didn't rise as expected around day 21. They did increase slightly but lacked the robust curve we typically observe. Interestingly, her progesterone levels were within an acceptable range, albeit a bit on the lower side. This data highlighted a deficiency in estrogen as the primary issue. To address this, we collaborated with Justine's healthcare provider to prescribe a microdose of estrogen, administered throughout her entire menstrual cycle. This approach aimed not only to boost estrogen levels but also to stimulate estrogen receptors, ultimately supporting the production of progesterone. Typically, when women experience hormonal changes, especially in perimenopause, they're often offered progesterone without comprehensive testing. However, as Justine's case demonstrated, simply supplementing with progesterone isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. Testing is crucial to understand precisely what each woman's body needs. Factoring in Thyroid Function to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Understanding that hormones and thyroid function are intricately linked, we decided to delve deeper. We conducted a full thyroid panel, which revealed that Justine had suboptimal T3 levels. She wasn't efficiently converting T4 to T3, placing her in the category of a "low T3 thyroid type." Her T3 levels weren't low enough to warrant T3 medication, but we recognized the importance of enhancing her conversion process. To achieve this, we focused on optimizing her gut and liver health and ensuring she had the necessary minerals, particularly zinc, which is pivotal in hormone conversion. In parallel, we made dietary changes by introducing anti-inflammatory foods. We also examined her personal care and cleaning products for harmful chemicals, shifting toward natural alternatives. Finally, we addressed her hormone metabolism by supporting methylation using Methylated B Complex and Calcium D-Glucarate. One standout addition to our approach was BrocoProtect, a sulforaphane supplement. Unlike some alternatives that lower estrogen levels, BrocoProtect helps direct estrogen toward the favorable two-hydroxy pathway while minimizing the less desirable four-hydroxy pathway, which can lead to free radical damage and DNA issues. Happy Ending - Hormone Balance Restored, Symptoms Mitigated The results were promising and swift. By Justine's next menstrual cycle, she noticed positive changes. Her energy levels improved, stress diminished, and she even observed a reduction in abdominal fat. This initial transformation gave her motivation and a clear plan for the road ahead. Hormone support can indeed yield rapid results, and our journey with Justine serves as a testament to the power of personalized care. We continue to monitor her levels, making necessary adjustments to maintain optimal hormone balance.

In this episode, I am speaking with Dr. Eric Balcavage, who is a renowned thyroid health expert and author of the Thyroid Debacle. He also lectures around the country on various health topics including stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine, thyroid dysfunction, methylation dysfunction, and more. 

The Case:  Justine is 44 and dealing with sudden abdominal weight gain. She is also experiencing brain fog which is causing her stress. Her PMS is getting worse and she just doesn't feel like herself. She saw her gynecologist who suggested birth control and antidepressants.  Medications are often the solution offered by traditional medicine but Justine wasn't interested in going directly down that path. So, she came to me. I noted that she was still getting her regular cycle but suspected that the hormonal changes of perimenopause might be at play here.  The Journey to Hormone Balance My first step in helping Justine manage her changing hormones was to explore the connection between her symptoms and her hormonal changes. I reached out to Emily Sadri who is an expert in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and achieving hormonal harmony. You may remember Emily from past episodes, including 141 on Semiglutide (like Ozempic) and Weight Loss and 107 on Birth Control Use with Thyroid Issues.  The Fundamentals: Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause Despite the fact that half the population goes through menopause, there's very little information available (and as Emily pointed out, this really should be something taught in school). So, let's lay the foundation with a basic understanding of hormones. Emily does a great job of explaining this in the episode. She shed light on the lifespan of hormones, highlighting that girls typically begin menstruating around the age of 11, which signifies a culmination of a year-long process where the brain and ovaries coordinate to initiate this significant change. Intriguingly, she drew parallels between menopause and puberty, suggesting that they are two sides of the same hormonal coin. Emily went on to discuss a fascinating aspect of hormonal decline, indicating that there's approximately a 10-year period before menopause when significant hormonal changes occur. She mentioned that the average age of menopause in the United States has been decreasing, from 51 to possibly 49, although precise data can be challenging to obtain due to various factors like contraceptive methods and hysterectomies. She stressed the unpredictability of when an individual might stop menstruating, emphasizing the importance of tuning into one's body and being attentive to subtle changes. Furthermore, she pointed out the availability of straightforward methods to test estrogen and progesterone levels, which can provide valuable insights into hormonal health. This knowledge gap in medical education, particularly regarding hormone testing, was an eye-opener for both of us during our conversation.  One of the most important things to note, with regards to Justine's case, is the concept of hormonal acceleration, commonly observed between ages 41 and 43, where hormones can undergo rapid changes, often triggered by life events and stress, making it crucial for women to recognize the connection between these symptoms and hormonal fluctuations. Deciphering Hormone Replacement Therapy Hormones are the invisible architects of our well-being, influencing energy levels, sleep patterns, and even our emotional states. Achieving the right hormonal balance is paramount for optimal health.  One of the ways that women may choose to do this is with Hormone Replacement Therapy also known as HRT. At its core, HRT involves replenishing hormones that our bodies may no longer produce in sufficient quantities. Emily goes into a lot more detail in this episode, so I encourage you to give it a listen.  Why You May Want to Consider Replacing Hormones As with everything to do with our bodies, we are all different. When it comes to replacing hormones, the choice is up to the individual woman going through menopause. Emily and I discussed several reasons women may want to consider HRT. Here are a few:  Hormonal Decline: This could be at any time during the 10-year period prior to menopause when there's a significant hormonal decline. Women may experience various symptoms during this time. Acceleration of Symptoms: As mentioned, between the ages of 41 and 43, there can be an acceleration of symptoms. This acceleration can manifest as a sudden and pronounced change in hormonal symptoms. Stress-Related Symptoms: Stress can play a role in exacerbating hormonal symptoms. Emily mentions that women who have had babies in their early 40s often experience an acceleration of symptoms, possibly due to both age and the stress of childbirth. Exploring the Varieties of Hormone Replacement Therapy We dove deep into the various options for HRT, including a frank conversation about the biased studies that have left a lot of women fearing HRT. If you are considering it but have some concerns, I highly recommend you listen to this conversation.  If you are exploring the options of HRT, there are two main types of HRT to consider:  Bioidentical Hormones: Bioidentical hormones are hormones derived from plant sources, such as soy or yams, and are designed to have the same molecular structure as hormones naturally produced by the human body, like estrogen and progesterone. They are used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) because they can be customized to address an individual's specific hormonal imbalances and symptoms. Customization ensures a more tailored and effective treatment under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Synthetic Hormones: Synthetic hormones, unlike bioidentical hormones, have a molecular structure that is not identical to hormones naturally produced by the body. These hormones are often used in conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) but may come with more standardized dosages and less flexibility in addressing individual hormonal needs. The use of synthetic hormones can sometimes lead to side effects or limited effectiveness since they don't precisely match the body's natural hormones.  Striking the Balance:  Three Approaches to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) There are three primary approaches to hormone replacement therapy (HRT), each with its own delivery methods and timing. The first approach is called "static continuous," where individuals take a small amount of estrogen and progesterone every day. This can be administered through methods like patches, transdermal creams, or even oral forms. It's often used to alleviate symptoms and can be suitable for post-menopausal individuals.  The second approach involves taking estrogen daily but adding progesterone for only 12-14 days each month. This approach is essential for those with a uterus to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer associated with unopposed estrogen. Some women prefer this method as they find progesterone can make them feel sleepier or moodier when taken continuously.  The third approach is less common but involves a transdermal method that mimics the natural menstrual cycle. It starts with low hormone doses from days one to five, gradually increasing from days five to twelve, then slightly decreasing on days 13 and 14. With the introduction of progesterone, there's another peak around day 21, followed by a decline. Because this approach mirrors the natural hormonal fluctuations of a menstrual cycle it is known as "rhythmic hormone replacement" or "physiologic restoration." The physiological protocol is more complex and requires thorough testing but aims to replicate the peaks and troughs of estrogen and progesterone that play crucial roles in processes like heart health, inflammation and bone turnover. Exploring Natural Alternatives We can't talk about hormone intervention without exploring the role food, supplements, and lifestyle might play in the solution. Emily's insights into alternative approaches, such as lifestyle modifications and natural remedies to manage hormone-related symptoms, align perfectly with our collaborative perspective. Dietary adjustments, stress management techniques, and regular exercise all play a role in promoting hormonal well-being, as Emily elaborated in this episode. To Be Continued…Case Not Closed My conversation with Emily was so enthralling that we lost track of time and just kept chatting away. I want to share the entire conversation with you because the information is so important and valuable to all women. However, I know how busy you are and I didn't want to drop an extra-long episode on you.  So, please join us again next time as we continue to unravel the mysteries of menopause. We'll dive deeper into the PR protocol, and I'll share how Justine and I solved her health mystery.  Eliminating Hormone Health Mysteries Like Justine, many women suffer through perimenopause and menopause because they don't have the information or a place to ask questions. Let's change that. You can start by sharing this episode and the next with any woman in your life over 40 who has not experienced menopause.  This may be the missing clue in your (or someone else's) health mystery!  Links: Resources mentioned Thanks again to my guest Emily Sadri.  You can connect with her on Instagram or check out her website.   Related Podcast Episodes: 141 The Honest Truth about Semaglutide for Weight Loss and Thyroid Health 107 Demystifying Prolonged Use of Birth Control Pills + Thyroid Connection 129 How to Lose that ‘Menopot' and Sail Through Menopause 096 Demystifying Hormones for Perimenopause and Menopause 110 Demystifying Hormones for Perimenopause and Menopause (Part 2) Thanks for Listening If you like what you heard, please rate and review this podcast.

The Case:  Donna has had hypothyroidism for 10 years Medication helped at first but lately, she's experiencing fatigue and weight gain.  She was finally diagnosed with Hashimoto's which sent her on a Google frenzy and left her overwhelmed by information.  She's got 4 kids, a full-time job, and is trying to manage Hashimoto's with diet, exercise, and supplements - it's all too stressful.  When I met Donna and heard about her busy life and her health struggles, I knew the two things were connected. She was doing a lot right by supporting her nervous system and immune system through diet, exercise, and supplements but in truth, they were no match for the stress she was under. Taking care of herself became the straw that broke the stress-camel's back.  I knew exactly where to look to help her solve her mystery.  The Stress of ‘Never Enough Time' One of the greatest challenges we face in our lives is managing our time effectively. It often feels like there are never enough hours in a day to accomplish everything we need to do. That's why I was thrilled to have Megan Sumrell, a time management expert, on this episode of Health Mysteries Solved. The first thing we tackled is the concept that there is never enough time in the day.  Megan believes that there is a lot at play here. While many people rush to blame inadequate time planning for their unfinished tasks, our present-day world presents distinct challenges compared to the past. The expectations we impose on ourselves, as well as those imposed by others, have significantly evolved over the years. Looking back on her own journey, Megan acknowledges the tremendous increase in the number of responsibilities she now juggles compared to 15 years ago.  To overcome this hurdle, Megan suggests that we find a balance between the influx of tasks and our capacity to handle them. It's crucial to reassess how we plan and manage our time, distinguishing between what is realistically achievable and what is not. Why Managing Tasks Can Be Challenging in Today's World Megan sheds light on two primary reasons that our task lists never seem to get done. First, she emphasizes the onslaught of distractions, particularly in the form of technology and all of these beeps, bings, and message notifications. She reminds us that, while technology has its benefits, if we don't learn to control it, it can easily control us. Additionally, the instant gratification culture we live in contributes to the perception that we have more to do, even if it's not the case.  The second reason Megan highlights is the "just in time living" mindset many people operate in, where they only focus on their daily to-do list. Without systems in place to accommodate unforeseen events or changes, any disruption can lead to a cascade of delays and overwhelm. This was exactly Donna's experience. She found herself buried under an ever-growing pile of to-do lists. Interestingly, Megan challenges the traditional notion of relying solely on to-do lists. While they have their time and place, she doesn't recommend solely depending on them. Megan acknowledges the satisfaction of checking off tasks but suggests that creating a list just to check it off may not be the most effective approach. Transforming a Task List into an Effective Plan Megan emphasizes the crucial distinction between a task list and a plan. While a traditional to-do list may contain all the tasks we need to accomplish, it lacks the essential elements of when and how long each task will take. Megan draws an analogy by comparing it to a shopping or grocery list without knowing how much money you have. Similarly, without turning our task list into a plan, we risk over-committing ourselves and not considering the feasibility or efficiency of our tasks. Megan highlights the importance of budgeting our time just as we would money. By incorporating time constraints and prioritization into our planning process, we can make more informed choices about what tasks to tackle and when. This approach allows us to maximize efficiency, consolidate errands, and focus on what truly matters. Without this level of organization and prioritization, we may find ourselves perpetually trapped on a hamster wheel, feeling busy but not truly productive. And that is stress-inducing! Mastering Prioritization and Overcoming Overwhelm Understanding how to prioritize tasks can be challenging, especially when dealing with health issues or experiencing overwhelming thoughts. Megan suggests using a prioritization matrix that combines various approaches. When we find ourselves in a state of panic or anxiety, it's crucial to recognize that it's not a reflection of our intelligence or capabilities. Our brain's chemical reactions during these moments can lead to irrational decision-making.  Listen to this episode to hear about Megan's practical exercise that allows us to operate at our highest capacity. This includes a time-limited approach to creating a list and then identifying what truly needs to be done within the next 24 hours and has negative consequences if not addressed. By narrowing down the list to these critical tasks, we can create a focused action plan. Consulting our calendar, we can determine when to tackle these priority tasks. This approach helps us break free from the overwhelming feeling of urgency by taking a step-by-step approach. By calming our brain, focusing on specific tasks, and creating a plan, we can overcome overwhelm and maintain momentum. Designing the Perfect Planner: Seeing the Whole Week When it comes to effective time management, finding the right planner is key. Megan emphasized the importance of using a planner that provides a week-at-a-view layout with hourly slots. This design allows us to see our entire week at a glance, empowering us to assess our available time and commitments. By visualizing the bigger picture, we can strategically plan our days and make informed decisions about our priorities. Having a holistic view of the week enables us to stay organized and focused on what truly matters. This includes your food. I always talk to my patients about planning the weekly menu. When you do this, you can buy fresh produce and cook in bulk. This saves time and reduces decision fatigue. I also recommend using those daily pill containers for your supplements to keep them straight and streamline the process.  Planning for Success: Balancing Predictability and Flexibility  The beauty of weekly planning lies in its ability to strike a balance between predictability and flexibility. By creating a weekly plan, we gain clarity and can allocate dedicated time for important projects and tasks. However, life is full of unexpected changes and challenges. Megan emphasized the need to plan for uncertainty. Whether it's a sudden health issue or a last-minute travel plan, we must be adaptable. Megan's advice was to allocate flexible time blocks or leave room for unexpected events. This approach allows us to manage our time effectively while still being able to adapt to unexpected circumstances. The To-Don't List: Letting Go of Unnecessary Tasks One of the most transformative concepts Megan shared was the idea of the to-don't list. It involves identifying tasks that we don't enjoy doing or that can be delegated to others. By starting with these tasks, we can explore creative solutions to eliminate or outsource them. This practice liberates our time and energy, allowing us to focus on what truly matters. It's essential to let go of tasks that don't align with our values or bring us joy. By doing so, we can create more space in our lives for the activities that contribute to our well-being and happiness. Prioritizing Self-Care: Health and Well-Being First In our pursuit of productivity and success, we often neglect our own well-being. Megan emphasized the importance of prioritizing self-care and allocating dedicated time for it. Whether it's exercise, healthcare appointments, or practices that support our well-being, our health should always come first. Megan reminded us that it's okay to let some tasks slide temporarily. Just like a new mom focuses on her newborn and lets other things go, we need to prioritize our healing and well-being. When we give ourselves permission to focus on what truly matters, we can navigate life's challenges with more resilience and grace. The Power of Making Wiser Choices Mastering time management is about making wiser choices with the limited resource we have: time. By embracing the power of weekly planning, using a planner that suits our needs, planning for uncertainty, and creating a to-don't list, we can find greater balance in our lives. It's essential to prioritize self-care and give ourselves permission to focus on what truly matters. In doing so, we'll experience less stress, greater fulfillment, and the ability to achieve our goals while maintaining our well-being. To help you implement these insights into your own life, here are some practical tips for effective time management: Start with a planner that provides a week-at-a-view layout with hourly slots. This allows you to see your entire week and allocate time strategically. Prioritize your tasks and commitments. Identify the most important ones and allocate dedicated time for them in your weekly plan. Plan for uncertainty by leaving flexible time blocks or creating buffers in your schedule. This will help you adapt to unexpected events or changes. Create a to-don't list. Identify tasks that you don't enjoy or can delegate to others. Find creative ways to eliminate or outsource them, freeing up your time for more meaningful activities. Remember to prioritize self-care. Allocate dedicated time for activities that support your well-being and make you feel nourished and energized.   By implementing these practical tips, you'll be on your way to becoming a master of time management, finding balance, and experiencing greater fulfillment in your daily life. Remember, effective time management is a journey, and it requires practice and self-awareness. Embrace the power of weekly planning, make intentional choices, and prioritize self-care. By doing so, you'll create a life that is both productive and fulfilling, where you have the time and space to focus on what truly matters. Next Steps To help Donna get past her feelings of overwhelm and daily stress, we started with reframing her approach to task management.  But first, we had to figure out the exact diet and supplements that she needed based on her thyroid type and Hashimoto's triggers (based on her test results). We also came up with ways to better plan ahead so she wasn't planning day to day. From weekly food shopping to laying out her supplements 1-2 weeks in advance to actually understanding that she needed more time for herself, it all really made a difference.  She never gave herself the permission to shift her priorities so doing this really helped. She was also shocked at how much her older kids were able to take on.  Happy Ending Donna's shift in perspective gave her more peace of mind and that allowed her nervous system to calm more and as you know, the calmer your nervous system the quicker your body can heal. Eliminating Health Mysteries For Donna, we were able to find that missing piece of the health puzzle and help her regain her health.

The American Thyroid Association estimates that five to eight women are affected with Hashimoto's for every one man. The ATA also estimates that one in eight women will be affected with Hashimoto's or another thyroid disorder at some point in their lives. So, if you're a woman, and you probably are if you're listening to this podcast… and you're not CURRENTLY dealing with thyroid issues… then there's a good chance that you will be dealing with a thyroid issue. Which also means that it's a good time to start making some shifts to have that NOT be the case.  But the bigger question is WHY?! Why does it seem like we all know a woman (or we are that woman) who has thyroid issues? In this episode, we're talking about some of the reasons (or, more aptly put- theories) why women deal with thyroid disease at a much higher rate than men… and of course, I have a few simple shifts that you can do to start making an impact in this area today..  to work towards reducing that statistic.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker, and Paleovalley.My job as a Functional Medicine doctor is to be a medical detective—to investigate and address the root causes of problems (not just the symptoms), help people fix the underlying problems that cause their symptoms, and recreate balance in the whole system. Rather than ask “what drug should I use to treat the symptom?” I ask “what is causing the symptom in the first place?”In today's episode, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Boham, Dr. Steven Phillips and Dana Parish, and Dhru Purohit about why it's important to thoroughly investigate to get to the root cause of symptoms.Dr. Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing.Dr. Steven Phillips is a renowned, Yale-trained physician, international lecturer, and media go-to expert. Well-published in the medical literature, he has treated over 20,000 patients with complex, chronic illness from nearly 20 countries. Dr. Phillips experienced firsthand the nightmare of an undiagnosed, serious infection after nearly dying from his own mystery illness. He figured out how to save his own life when 25 doctors could not.Dana Parish developed Lyme-induced heart failure as a result of being improperly diagnosed by some of the “top” doctors in the country—and had her life saved by Dr. Phillips. A chart-topping Sony/ATV singer/songwriter who has written songs for artists like Celine Dion and Idina Menzel, she has become a major voice in the world of chronic illness. Her popular column on Huffington Post has been read by more than one million people globally.Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry.
