Listen Later

Your thyroid might be small — but its impact on your hormones, energy, and overall health is massive.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Micaela Gregory, ND to unpack one of the most misunderstood areas in women’s health: the thyroid. We talk about how thyroid issues like hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s often go undetected, what symptoms to look for, and how they can affect everything from your period to your mood and metabolism.

Dr. Micaela shares her clinical insights and compassion-first approach to treating thyroid dysfunction — with a focus on getting to the root of the problem, not just treating lab numbers.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How your thyroid affects your hormones, energy, cycles, and mood
  • The difference between hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and Hashimoto’s
  • What symptoms to watch for — even if your labs are “normal”
  • Why many thyroid cases go undiagnosed or undertreated in women
  • How irregular periods, heavy bleeding, and fertility are linked to thyroid health
  • What a full thyroid workup should really include
  • When to look beyond TSH levels for a clearer picture
  • Lifestyle, nutritional, and medical strategies that support thyroid balance

This episode is for you if...
