Chelsea Haines is a Gut Health and Intuition coach who "helps women finally heal their gut health so they can live their happiest and most abundant lives." On today's episode of Gut Check Radio, and our final installment of our ten-part series on how to heal your thyroid, Chelsea joins me to talk about what we all must do in order to learn how to heal ourselves. In her practice, Chelsea helps patients on a daily basis who are not only struggling with physical symptoms, but also mental, emotional, and spiritual roadblocks that stand between them and true healing. With the right perspective though, and a proper understanding of what it takes to "get out of the mud" as Chelsea likes to say, we can all start to learn how healing is truly possible - maybe just not quite the way you once thought it would be.

In today’s world, and especially in the world of health and wellness, discipline is a virtue that is often revered higher than any other. Unlike so many other coaches, doctors, or fitness influencers though, today I’m going to share how discipline, when gone unchecked, can turn into a terrible thing for you,  your lifestyle, and your health. On today’s episode, we look back on a conversation I got to have with Sam Wetherell, a very successful DC, good friend of mine, and the most disciplined man I know. Sam shares with us how his extreme discipline, while praised by others, actually led him to struggle in his fitness, his career, and his relationship, and what he did to help drastically change the way he looked at working hard and making sacrifices on a regular basis.

You may be exercising, sleeping well, and geting your nutrition dialed in, but what about your blood sugar? And what do our blood sugar levels have to do with our thyroid health anyways? In today’s episode, I dive into why blood sugar is one of the most important (and yet most overlooked) health factors, and why it can have such a big impact on our thryoid health. I share some of the tell-tale signs of an unstable blood sugar, as well as ways you can learn to regulate your blood sugar levels on a daily basis - many of which might actually surprise you!TimestampsRollercoasters and Railroad Tracks: The differences between a stable and unstable blood sugar (1:18)How does our eating environment impact our blood sugar?(8:51)Eat every meal like it’s Thanksgiving dinner (14:03)How to activate the optimal part of your nervous system during each meal (17:59)More From Dr. NickWant to learn about gut health and be entertained in under 5 minutes/per week?

Supporting our own autoimmunity might sound like a job for learned scientists and expensive medical treatments, but I’m here to tell you that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, on today’s episode of Gut Check Radio, I’m going to show you how you have so much more power than you might think to support the health of your own thyroid and autoimmune health. Through just a few simple but very effective techniques that all of us can practice, we can take control of our lives, even in the face of fear and stress.

Over the hundreds and thousands of years that humans have been studying the science of healing, is it really likely that we could ever come across any new breakthrough techniques or treatments these days? On today’s show, my guest, Brea Katrin, is here to share about the fascinating world of self-directed neuroplasticity, how this practice has helped rid her and many of her clients from all kinds of chronic illnesses, and how she believes the power to do so has actually been with us as long as humans have existed. Make sure to listen in to hear the wild story of how a house filled with mold led Brea across the country and into the desert, where eventually an encounter with God and a new insight on permanent healing would turn her life around completely.

I know what you all are thinking: “Six episodes into this series and he hasn’t even once talked about hormone replacement - does this guy even know what he’s talking about?” My short answer to that question: maybe. For a more nuanced take on hormone replacement, make sure to give today’s episode a listen, because I’ve got three reasons why I think hormone replacement likely is not the right move for you when looking to heal your thyroid. It may not be the most popular take, but in this episode I drop some knowledge on all of us about how our vitamins and supplements might not actually be doing anything in the first place, the gut bugs that many of us may be overlooking, and the mysterious subject of autoimmunity that we all might want to take a second look into.

Doesn’t it sometimes feel so good right after you’ve just finished a hard workout? What about one, two, maybe three hours later though - are you usually still feeling good? Or maybe you’ve start to hit a wall as your energy levels start plummeting, even though you’re only half way through your day - sound familiar? As familar as this scenario might seem, the way we feel after a workout is actually a very important window on if we’re choosing the right style, length, and intensity when it comes to our regular exercise. And as you might have guessed, doing too much or too little in the wrong direction here can really have some serious affects on your thyroid health! In today’s episode, we talk all about exercise, and why we ought to start making our work OUTs into work INs, and just how we can all go about doing so.

For those of you who are like me, I KNOW you have been waiting for this part of our thyroid series - today we are talking all about NUTRITION and what kinds of foods we should be eating on a daily basis to help heal and support our thyroids. In today’s episode, I share why I think INCLUDING certain foods in our diet is way more beneficial than AVOIDING others. We talk about some of the sure signs that you might be eating either too few or too many calories each day, and why almost all of us have a bad habit of eating too little protein each day as well. Lastly comes my favorite part, which is when I get to share with you all some of the most important micronutrients that we should all be incorporating into our meals and routines that can really make a big impact on the health of our thyroids and bodies as a whole.

“Cancer” may be the scariest word that a person hears their entire life. For Jacqueline Genova, a certified holistic nutritionist, wellness writer, and fellow podcaster, hearing her mom receive this diagnosis years ago certainly made an impact that would change her life forever. Thankfully for us all, Jacqueline’s story isn’t one that ends with fear and worry, but with resolve and passion, as she took the struggles her mother faced and the questions she had about the treatments that were endured and turned them into a beautiful passion - to study, practice, and share breakthrough integrative cancer treatments with patients just like Jac’s mom, who likely find themselves scared with nowhere to turn after a seemingly hopeless diagnosis.

Today, Jacqueline has channeled these passions into the creation of her wildly successful brand, WellnStrong, which helps educate and empower others to live healthy lives through holistic and integrative practices. Many of these practices may seem simple, and quite frankly, too good to be true - but the track record of near-miraculous healing that Jacqueline has witnessed throughout her journey is a testament to the power of nutrition, faith, and the sheer will and resiliency of the human body.

Dealing with stress is a guaranteed part of life. As each of us navigate the human experience, we encounter events that cause us to feel stress multiple times a day, seven days a week. Although we often hear of ways for us to reduce stress from day-to-day, I’m here to ask: Is that really the right way to go about life? In today’s episode, we talk about why reducing your stress levels may not be the answer to a healthier thyroid (and a healthier life). Instead, we focus on several ways that each of us can increase our ability to respond to stress in a healthy way. I dive into some of my favorite examples of simple activities we can all do to improve our health both spiritually and physically, and why I think these activities should be seen as such an important part of our daily routines.
