In this powerful Wellness Wednesday episode, host Jenny sits down with functional health practitioner Holli to explore one of the most misunderstood and underserved areas of women's health: thyroid dysfunction and autoimmune disease. Holli shares her deeply personal journey from weighing just 89 pounds — battling celiac disease, mold toxicity, SIBO, and thyroid issues — to becoming a thriving functional health practitioner who has helped hundreds of clients reclaim their health. 

The conversation digs into the why behind thyroid conditions: what lab markers actually matter (TPO and thyroglobulin antibodies), the wide range of symptoms that often go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, and the many root causes that drive autoimmune dysregulation — from leaky gut and chronic stress to environmental toxins, Epstein-Barr virus, parasites, and nutritional deficiencies like selenium and vitamin D. 

Jenny and Holli also discuss the difference between traditional supplementation and cellular activation — and why addressing health at the cellular level is what made the difference when nothing else would. They close with practical, accessible lifestyle tips and a heartfelt reminder that healing is possible, and that sharing your story can change someone else's life.
