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 support
• Understanding thyroid testing and markers
• Why thyroid medications impact everyone differently

I've been raving about Eversio mushrooms for so long—they are truly one of my favorite products that I use daily. In this episode, we hear from Brandi Garden, co-founder of Eversio Wellness and Desiree Caruso, a doctor of Naturopathic Medicine and Advisor at Eversio Wellness. They're sharing about the amazing benefits of functional mushrooms, like better sleep (without side effects) and balanced hormones!

Eversio is a family-owned and operated Canadian mushroom wellness company with the mission to change lives through fungi. The fungi kingdom found Brandi after she “broke up” with a pharmaceutical she’d been prescribed for over a decade. She created Eversio with her husband and has become a passionate advocate for the daily use of medicinal mushrooms as natural preventative medicine. Her motto is, "MORE FUNGI, LESS PHARMA!"

In this episode, you'll learn more about:

• Chaga for balanced hormones & blood sugar balance
• Reishi for stress, anxiety, sleep and liver support
• The importance of taking a therapeutic dosage & label transparency

Today we're talking about something that is super important for hormone health and fertility, but needs to be used wisely: iodine! Every single cell in your body utilizes iodine in some way or another. It plays a huge role in fertility, thyroid health, fibroids, adenomyosis, heavy periods, endometriosis — the list goes on!

But the thing is, we usually aren't deficient in iodine, we just have blocked receptors, meaning our body can't properly use that iodine. It’s really important that you do not supplement iodine without closely working with a practitioner. But there are a lot of super simple and supplement-free things we can do to make sure our body is using iodine efficiently.

In this episode you'll learn more about:

• The role of iodine and how it affects our bodies
• Iodine antagonists - what could be blocking your receptors and how you can clean them out
• Signs of iodine deficiency
• Importance of working with a practitioner for iodine supplementing

I'm sharing practical tips, as well as nutrition and supplement suggestions to support your liver function. Whether you have a MTHFR gene mutation, have PCOS, or even painful periods, supporting your liver is going to be a game changer for you!
