Episode 5 - The Gut-Thyroid Connection With Dr. Valerie Gettings


Listen Later

Welcome to Modern Women’s Wellness — the podcast for women who are done feeling dismissed, confused, and frustrated when it comes to their health.

Is your thyroid quietly disrupting your hormones, energy, and fertility? For many women, the signs are subtle — weight that won’t budge, thinning hair, constant fatigue or bloating — and often dismissed. But behind the scenes, your gut and thyroid are in constant conversation, and when that connection breaks down, everything else follows.

In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor sits down with Dr. Valerie Gettings, a naturopathic doctor specializing in thyroid and gut health, to unpack how gut imbalances, inflammation, and even everyday products can quietly disrupt thyroid function and hormonal balance.

Dr. Gettings shares her journey of healing from chronic seizures and digestive issues by addressing root causes through naturopathic care. Together, they explore overlooked signs of thyroid dysfunction, why food sensitivity tests often mislead, and the key nutrients and habits that can help restore balance.

We’ll dive into:
✔️ How gut health affects thyroid hormone production and absorption
✔️ Why skin issues, brain fog, and fatigue often stem from the gut
✔️ The link between histamine, high estrogen, and reacting to “everything”
✔️ When food sensitivity testing works — and when it doesn’t
✔️ How toxins and personal care products can impact thyroid function

If you’ve been doing all the right things but still feel off, this episode will help you uncover what’s really going on — and how to take clear, empowered steps toward feeling like yourself again.
