In this episode, Karen breaks down why so many people are told their thyroid is “normal” when something is clearly off. We talk about how standard blood work often misses the full picture—and how a deeper dive into thyroid labs can reveal what’s really going on with your energy, metabolism, mood, and weight.

Karen also explains how cortisol, hormones, and inflammation are all connected—and why true healing means looking at the whole system, not just one number. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, tired, foggy, or inflamed but told “everything looks fine,” this one’s for you.
