In this episode, Juliette Austin tells Jodi-Ann about what happened to her when she disclosed her thyroid cancer diagnosis at work nearly a decade ago and just how toxic a reentry process to work can be. This traumatic experience impacted how she, many years later, chose to disclose her cancer survivor experience to Jodi-Ann, despite Jodi-Ann's own openness in publicly sharing her story. The two exchange tender moments, sharing for the first time what a difference it made in the growth of their friendship to fully see each other. This conversation explores different ways each has learned how to cope, how to decide what to share, and what people often get wrong in trying to help us through our recovery process. Even without chemotherapy and radiation, it can be painful and life-long, with its own path towards acceptance. Who shows up for you, and how you show up for yourself, makes a big difference on how you choose to survive. Post Show Goodies: Juliette encourages Jodi-Ann to trust that she'll be okay.

Years ago, Janie Bowthorpe became a hypothyroid patient. And like millions, she was put on a T4-only medicine like Synthroid and told it was would change her life. But it didn't. Janie spent the next 20 years getting worse on nothing but T4 with growing problems. And each doctor she saw said "It's not your thyroid" causing you all those problems as they did more and more tests. She was steps away from applying for Social Security Disability.  But Janie didn't buy that it wasn't her thyroid. On her own, she found out about having T3 in her treatment with natural desiccated thyroid. On her own, she found a doctor to let her get on desiccated thyroid. Then on her own, she found a second doctor to let her raise it. And her life made a complete and total turn around.   With those experiences under her belt, Janie Bowthorpe started the first and only patient-to-patient  movement called Stop the Thyroid Madness. All Janie's experiences challenged the way the medical system has been testing and treating thyroid disease. Today, Janie is the author of two life-changing, patient-to-patient thyroid books, the editor of a third book contributed by medical professionals, and the owner of the most life-changing website on treating a thyroid problem in the world.  https://stopthethyroidmadness.com For more information about Michelle, visit www.thewholesomelotus.com For information on the Wholesome Fertility Method online program visit www.thewholesomefertilitymethod.com The Wholesome Fertility facebook group is where you can find free resources and support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2149554308396504/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewholesomelotusfertility/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/

Stop the Thyroid Madness; A Patient Revolution Against Decades of Inferior Treatment. Janie Bowthorpe is a hypothyroid patient who spent nearly 20 years on Synthroid. She went from doctor to doctor for help because she wasn't feeling well, only to be told It's not your thyroid. Janie began to realize that the burden of getting well was on her shoulders and after going through so many doctors who weren't helping, she was getting to the point of preparing to apply for Social Security Disability. On her own, she found out about using T3 in her treatment, not just T4. It totally changed her life and she started a patient-to-patient movement where patients began to share their experiences with each other. Everyone had similar problems from poor thyroid treatment, poor understanding of labs, poor understanding of other issues as a result of the poor treatment. Patients started doing their own research, their own experiments, their own reading. And that birthed what Janie coined Stop the Thyroid Madness. Janie has authored 3 books on thyroid issues. Some of what we cover: Ferritin vs serum iron T4 vs T4 + T3 How reliable is the Tsh test? Adrenal function - saliva vs blood tests Cholesterol can be high due to hypothyroid Connection between thyroid and adrenal imbalance Why cortisol levels are important to balance the thyroid What is Hashimoto's There are many causes of low thyroid What has happened to prescription natural desiccated thyroid medicine.

There’s no way we can understand everything we need to know to have a healthy pregnancy and postpartum, but the more we know how the brain and body work together, the more prepared we can be.

Elle Russ chats with thyroid patient advocate and author Janie A. Bowthorpe M.Ed, who suffered at the hands of doctors for 20 years. Why? They failed to see the connection between her chronic and debilitating symptoms and forcing her body to live for conversion alone, aka T4-only like Synthroid.  The examining room responses were always along the lines of “You are normal” and “It’s something else besides your thyroid”. All the latter meant money down the drain, frustrating and false pronouncements by doctors, along with painful tests, dead ends, and the dark realization she would finally have to apply for Social Security Disability.   But Bowthorpe proved them all wrong in 2002. She switched to Natural Desiccated Thyroid, raised and found her optimal amount, and every single debilitating symptom went completely away. That change spurred her to create the movement later called Stop the Thyroid Madness, aka STTM.    What makes the Stop the Thyroid Madness movement different from other websites and books? It's near totally about 17 years of reported patient experiences in getting well, and the wisdom gained from those experiences. Janie is the author of three great books: The 2019 updated revision of Stop the Thyroid Madness: A Patient Revolution Against Decades of Inferior Thyroid Treatment - this book compiles all the patient wisdom in getting well and is often called the bible of patient experiences. Hashimoto's: Taming the Beast for those with the autoimmune Hashimoto's disease. Another patient-to-patient book, telling you first about Hashimotos, references to plenty of research, all the ways gut health issues can impact one's issues, and moves into several patient-to-patient information about frustrations, how foods affect different patients, better ways to eat, and 96 short testimonies how how Hashi's patients are taming the beast successfully. And lastly, Stop the Thyroid Madness II: How Thyroid Experts are Challenging Ineffective Treatments and Improving the Lives of Patients (aka STTM II).  Each chapter contributed by a practitioner.   SELECTED LINKS The website is https://stopthethyroidmadness.com  facebook page https://www.facebook.com/StoptheThyroidMadness/  See http://laughinggrapepublishing.com 

Between the latest online fads and the crazy media headlines, it’s easier than ever to get confused about your health. If you want to make better decisions about your health today so you can feel better and live longer, you’ve come to the right place.   On this episode we’re going to wrap up our examination of current thyroid disease issues. Have you ever wondered if it is okay to take higher doses of thyroid medication, even if your blood tests say you’re getting too much? Many patients say that they don’t feel better until their hormone levels are much higher than is recommended. I’m joined today by Janie Bowthorpe, thyroid patient activist and author who feels it is important to disregard blood test results. Her own health was compromised when she developed thyroid disease and it wasn’t until she started dosing natural thyroid medication more accurately that she started to feel better. She has joined me to share her opinions on the best way to diagnose and treat thyroid disease, and to consider the many factors that affect thyroid health, including iron levels, cortisol problems, TSH levels, and adrenal problems. Janie is passionate about her calling and I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about her perspective and experiences as an advocate for thyroid patients.    After the interview, I will follow-up on the key points of our conversation. I want you to consider the need for conducting high-quality studies and of the importance of understanding the many side effects and complications that may not be highlighted in patient-shared experiences. To do so, I will give you an overview of several studies regarding low TSH, each of which included a look at how low TSH levels can affect your body’s ability to manage free radicals, bone health, cardiovascular health, and total mortality rates. Once the facts are laid out, I will share my opinion on this important topic of thyroid disease and medication.   Key Takeaways: [:35] Today’s topic is the third of three segments on the topic of thyroid disease. [1:55] Introducing Janie Bowthorpe, who shares the health and medical experiences that led her to becoming a thyroid advocate. [5:23] The symptoms that led Janie to the diagnosis of thyroid disease only got worse over time, but she quickly she experienced a turnaround and stabilization once she started natural thyroid medication. [10:28] Janie’s calling to be an advocate for thyroid patients and a look at how her observations were reflected in large numbers of patients over time. [14:32] Defining ‘optimal doses’ in thyroid patients using dessicated thyroid means people feeling their best and staying that way. [20:27] Achieving optimal doses and identifying thyroid hormone resistance through patterns of groups of patients and genetic testing. [25:41] What are the concerns that come with TSH levels that are too low or too high? How do inadequate iron and cortisol problems play into these concerns? [30:43] Ferritin versus serum iron and considering the presence of inflammation and cortisol problems. [35:46] Are the benefits associated with TSH suppression worth the long-term health risks?  [39:40] Studies that have disregarded adrenal problems may not be as telling as patient-shared experiences. [43:54] Wrapping up with Janie Bowthorpe and her testimony of the importance of patients listening to other patients. [45:57] Should you ignore your TSH? Understanding your TSH as your pituitary gland telling your thyroid to work, and a look at what patients have experienced in trying to optimize it’s levels.  [48:47] My five criteria for reviewing evidence, and the importance of placing more weight on the evidence that is independent of the source it came from. [51:30] Understanding the treatment that thyroid patients have received from the medical community and a host of secondary problems that can contribute to feeling unwell despite thyroid stability. [54:08] What high-quality studies have been conducted to increase our understanding of what happens to people with low TSH levels?

about Stop the Thyroid Madness: A Patient Revolution Against Decades of Inferior Treatment With even more pages, a new chapter on foods and supplements, and additions throughout the entire book, this informative Second Edition of the ever-popular classic, "Stop the Thyroid Madness: A Patient Revolution Against Decades of Inferior Treatment", continues to break ground as the ONLY thyroid patient-to-patient book on the market. It addresses a 60+ year, international thyroid treatment scandal involving the use of T4-only medications like Synthroid and other T4-only meds, as well as the TSH lab test--both which have left hundreds of millions worldwide either undiagnosed or undertreated. It explains in detail: 1) what medications work far better and why; 2) which labwork is better than others, and how to read the results (i.e., it has nothing to do with just being "in range"); 3) how a huge body of thyroid patients fall into adrenal fatigue/HPA dysfunction as a result of poor treatment by doctors, plus what patients have learned in treating it; 4) a long list of causes of hypothyroidism; 5) cutting-edge treatment of Hashimotos's disease and gluten intolerance; 6) why patients need to be aware of Reverse T3, plus how to treat it; 7) how to discover and treat low levels of Vit. D, B12, ferritin and iron, iodine and more deficiencies which doctors can miss. As always, this "Bible of Thyroid Treatment", as successfully experienced by patients worldwide, strives to educate the reader in order to bring this on-going and scandal-breaking information into doctors offices worldwide, and create needed change.

Janie Bowthorpe joins us today as we are digging into the connection between the thyroid and fertility. For 20 years, Janie A. Bowthorpe suffered at the hands of doctors. Why? They failed to see the connection between her chronic and debilitating symptoms and forcing her body to live for conversion alone, aka T4-only like Synthroid. The examining room responses were always along the lines of “You are normal” and “It’s something else besides your thyroid”. All the latter meant money down the drain, frustrating and false pronouncements by doctors, painful tests, dead ends, and the dark realization she would finally have to apply for Social Security Disability. But Bowthorpe proved them all wrong in 2002. She switched to Natural Desiccated Thyroid, raised and found her optimal amount, and every single debilitating symptom went completely away. That change spurred her to create the movement later called Stop the Thyroid Madness, aka STTM. What makes the Stop the Thyroid Madness movement different from other websites and books? It's near totally about 16 years of reported patient experiences in getting well, and the wisdom gained from those experiences. The website is stopthethyroidmadness.com plus a facebook page of the same name. And there are also two books--the most widely read thyroid books on the market for years: the revised Stop the Thyroid Madness: A Patient Revolution Against Decades of Inferior Thyroid Treatment (aka STTM I), and also Stop the Thyroid Madness II: How Thyroid Experts are Challenging Ineffective Treatments and Improving the Lives of Patients (aka STTM II).

Tim Gray - Entrepreneur & Health Optimization Expert Our guest this week is Tim Gray. Tim is a seriously interesting person and deeply committed biohacker/health optimization expert. As you’ll learn, Tim and T.A. met by happenstance at Baby Bathwater—an entrepreneurial event hosted in Croatia—where they quickly realized their shared enthusiasm for science, technology, and longevity. Tim’s approach to health optimization stems from his passion and commitment to everything he does; what Tim calls his “all-in or nothing” mentality. As an entrepreneur, Tim is a specialist in psychology, neuro marketing, cognitive hypnotherapy, conversion rate optimization and SEO. His expertise in digital marketing is rooted in his own experiences as the founder of a very successful e-commerce business, and over 13 years experience of search engine marketing and psychology. He has a keen interest in body language and human behavior led him to study and gain various Oxford University recognized qualifications, including a Diploma in Cognitive Hypnotherapy (HPD), a Master Practitioner certification in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and NVQ in Business Management. His growing interest in optimal health, having a sharp and clear mind (and “biohacking”) has also led him to open the first Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy clinic in London. In this episode of How to Live to 200, T.A. explores some really interesting and less popular areas with Tim. We ask and answer questions on biohacking, mercury poisoning, gut bacteria, and more. Here’s a sample of what we cover: How Tim used the Ketogenic diet and Bulletproof Coffee to kickstart his journey to biohacking and health optimization Why Tim doesn’t like the term “biohacker” What symptoms allow him to easily detect mercury toxicity in strangers What tests Tim recommends to measure your mercury levels What foods to avoid if you’re worried about mercury toxicity What farm-raised salmon can do to your body and brain Should you have your old fillings removed? Tim’s personal gut microbiome optimization techniques What Tim data currently tracks and how he decides what to pay attention to How you can use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to thrive How do you learn to enjoy your current moment while still striving for improved health There’s so much great info packed into this episode, so don’t be surprised if you need to take a second listen to capture all of Tim’s knowledge.

Join host Elise Marquam Jahns as she chats with Janie Bowthorpe, a Thyroid Patient Activist, author of the book Stop the Thyroid Madness, and owner of “Stop the Thyroid Madness” blog.  When Janie Bowthorpe was 27 years old, she had 8 illnesses in nine months culminating with pneumonia. The same chronic illness scenario occurred 2 years later after the birth of her third child. By 31, she was diagnosed with borderline hypothyroid and put on Synthroid, but her pain and suffering continued for many more years. By 2002, she finally began the process of applying for Social Security Disability. It was during this time Janie realized the problem was most likely her thyroid. When she switched to natural desiccated thyroid, her life changed. She rapidly regained her energy and stamina and saw all her symptoms disappear--which became the impetus for the Stop the Thyroid Madness blog and book.   Janie’s goal is to be a catalyst for a complete change in thyroid treatment and management by dedicating her work to serve millions of thyroid patients all over the world.

Janie A. Bowthorpe, M.Ed, has spent years as one of the most well-known and heartfelt Thyroid Patient Advocates, fighting for better thyroid care. And what has made her different from others who claim the same title?  It's her unique focus, which has always been about reported patient experiences and the wisdom gained from those experiences ... rather than strong opinions or courting the medical establishment. Like millions worldwide, Janie was a 20-year victim of poor treatment with T4-only meds and the use of the TSH lab test, only to have a miraculous turnaround in the use of Natural Desiccated Thyroid. Those experiences propelled her to represent patients worldwide, totally based on their experiences and wisdom. She is the author of the book, Stop the Thyroid Madness. In today’s show, we talk about why women who show signs of hypothyroidism often have the hardest time getting support from their doctors; whether it's lab work or getting prescriptions for thyroid medication (other than Synthroid®). We get to the bottom of the common issue of why a woman can feel terrible even if she has "normal" lab results, and what she can do if her doctor isn't supporting her mission to get to the underlying cause. Topics discussed in today's episode What events led to Janie writing her book, Stop the Thyroid Madness? Janie talks about the common symptoms of continued Hypothyroidism Why the typical tests doctors run Hypothyroidism are not good enough Why the common treatments for Hypothyroidism don’t usually work How free T3 and T4 levels are better indicators of your thyroid health Janie’s advice about how to handle resistance from physicians with regards to testing Why the commonly prescribed medication, Synthroid®, doesn’t always help What desiccated thyroid is and how it compares to Synthroid® What can cause symptoms to get worse after taking desiccated thyroid? What are some underlying causes of Hypothyroidism and can it be cured? Janie’s advice for people who’ve had trouble finding a doctor who’ll truly work with them The one thing Janie wants listeners to know The one myth about Hypothyroidism Janie wants to address Connect with Janie You can connect with Janie on her Website and on Facebook Resources mentioned Stop the Thyroid Madness Website Stop the Thyroid Madness eBooks Stop the Thyroid Madness: Lab Values Stop the Thyroid Madness: Recommended Lab Work Stop the Thyroid Madness: Natural Thyroid 101 Stop the Thyroid Madness Facebook Page FFP 104 | Birth Control Pills From Your Doctor’s Perspective | Why Your Physician isn’t Looking at the Root Cause | Alternative Medicine for Women | Dr. Miranda Naylor Join the community!

*“Confidence does provide an evolutionary edge,” says Elle Russ.* I welcome Elle, my longtime Primal coworker and host of the Primal Blueprint podcast, to the show today. Elle has become an authority on thyroid health and wrote the best-selling book, The Paleo Thyroid Solution , but she is also a multi-talented human with a long history as a Hollywood writer and actor. In this episode, you’ll learn about Elle’s book Confident as F*ck , and and how we can all be confident as fuck too, and live a happier, more abundant existence. If you tuned in for Elle’s first appearance ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2018/08/22/elle-russ-a-journey-of-healing-health-and-helping-others/ ) on the podcast when she revealed for the first time publicly that she had a severe disability with her hands, you already know that harboring this secret for many years out of fear of being judged ended up framing lots of her life behavior and self-esteem. Elle is passionate about empowering others to become more confident, and she knows how difficult this process can be, because she actually lived through it. That’s why her book is the self-help book for people looking to level up their self-esteem and confidence, while also manifesting their dreams. Elle is also a huge proponent of the law of attraction and helpful practices like vision board building, and she clues us in on the interesting twist that comes with building confidence, which is that there are actually pitfalls to being a highly confident person. She also cautions us to not judge someone’s confidence based on their ability to do something well: “You can be confident in your ability in something, but not be confident on the inside.” She also notes that: “Confident people make others feel worthy.” In this entertaining exposé on self-esteem and confidence, you’ll learn how to identify and finally ditch bad vibes and negative people who hold you back. Elle calls this “The Downer Effect.” You’ll also learn how to clean up your past through addressing shame and self-limiting stories (about yourself and others) that are holding you back. Elle refers to this as “parental garbage,” which can be both overt and subtle. Elle also makes a good point by pointing out how frequently the most confident person in a room is also the quietest, and you’ll become inspired to speak up for yourself, and take a leap into the arena of self-examination. By the end of Confident As Fu*k , you will understand yourself and the shortcomings you need to abandon in order to kick ass and take names! *TIMESTAMPS:* Brad talks to another Primal Blueprint co-worker about her experience with thyroid problems as well as her new book on confidence. [01:28] Many doctors are ill informed about thyroid health. [06:45] Highly competent people do not want to show vulnerability or appear weak. [08:54] You can have performance confidence but no confidence on the inside. [12:43] Drawing appropriate boundaries is really important. [15:29] We repeat patterns from our childhood whether we like them or not. [16:35] The opposite of being confident is being a people pleaser. [24:05] Without realizing it, we are surrounded by “downers”. [26:51] Look to see if some of your criticisms of other people is because you want to be right. [32:45] How can we suggest things to other people out of concern without sounding critical? [36:38] In trying to be supportive, be careful about false praise. Praise the effort, not the attributes. [43:52] How does one work through the pitfalls in their daily life? Shame will disable your confidence.   [47:58] *LINKS:* * Brad’s Shopping Page ( http://www.bradkearns.com/shop/ ) * Brad’s early podcast with Elle ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2018/08/22/elle-russ-a-journey-of-healing-health-and-helping-others/ ) * Elle Russ ( https://www.elleruss.com/ ) * The Paleo Thyroid Solution ( https://www.amazon.com/Paleo-Thyroid-Solution-Fatigued-Uninformed/dp/1939563240/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1YMY9J00PN2X0&dchild=1&keywords=the+paleo+thyroid+solution+by+elle+russ&qid=1617135649&s=books&sprefix=the+paleo+thyr%2Cstripbooks%2C215&sr=1-2 ) * Confident as Fuck ( https://www.amazon.com/Confident-As-Fu-cultivate-confidence/dp/1695359682/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Confident+as+Fuck+by+elle+russ&qid=1617135681&s=books&sr=1-1 ) * Stop the Thyroid Madness ( https://www.amazon.com/Stop-Thyroid-Madness-Revolution-Treatment/dp/0615477127/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Stop+the+Thyroid+Madness&qid=1617135722&s=books&sr=1-1 ) * The Thyroid Patient Manual ( https://www.amazon.com/Thyroid-Patients-Manual-Recovering-Hypothyroidism/dp/0957099339/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=The+Thyroid+Patient+Manual&qid=1617135754&s=books&sr=1-3 ) * You Can Heal Your Life ( https://www.audible.com/ep/title?asin=B002UZLAL6&device=d&ds_rl=1263561&gclid=a31a6c8e6880189f18fc0cedead7f8ec&gclsrc=3p.ds&msclkid=a31a6c8e6880189f18fc0cedead7f8ec&source_code=MSNGBWS0805169030 ) * The Intention Experiment ( https://www.amazon.com/Intention-Experiment-Using-Thoughts-Change/dp/0743276965 ) * Mark’s Daily Apple ( https://www.marksdailyapple.com/ ) *Join Brad for more fun on:* Instagram: @bradkearns1 ( https://www.instagram.com/bradkearns1/ ) Facebook: @bradkearnsjumphigh ( https://www.facebook.com/bradkearnsjumphigh ) Twitter: @bradleykearns ( https://twitter.com/bradleykearns ) YouTube: @BradKearns ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4XXEoULD0AiiuPHdRw-Efg ) We appreciate all feedback, and questions for Q&A shows, emailed to getoveryourselfpodcast@gmail.com.
