Have you ever been told “your labs look normal” while your body is screaming the opposite? You’re tired, gaining weight for no reason, or just know something isn’t right. In this episode of Root Cause Solutions for You, I’m sitting down with the incredible Dr. Amie Hornaman, known as The Thyroid Fixer, to unravel the hidden truths about thyroid health that most doctors aren’t talking about.

Dr. Amie shares her personal journey of being dismissed by six different doctors before finally finding answers, a story that so many of us can relate to. We talk about the forgotten thyroid hormone T2, how it impacts metabolism and fat burning, and why understanding it could be a game-changer in your health journey. You’ll also hear us unpack why standard thyroid labs often miss the bigger picture, the difference between being “normal” and being optimal, and what it really takes to get your energy, mood, and body back on track.

This episode is a blend of science, lived experience, and practical wisdom. Whether you’re struggling with Hashimoto’s, have questions about thyroid medication versus natural approaches, or just want to finally understand why your efforts with diet and lifestyle aren’t giving you results, this conversation will open your eyes.

You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of your thyroid, hope that healing is possible, and steps you can start exploring right away!

Struggling with weight management despite "doing everything right"? You're not alone. In this eye-opening conversation, Naturopathic Doctor Eleanor Duelley demystifies peptides - the natural compounds your body makes to regulate metabolism that diminish with age.

Dr. Duelley explains why GLP-1 peptides like semaglutide (found in Ozempic) have gained so much attention, distinguishing between responsible therapeutic use and celebrity weight loss headlines. "Peptides are supporting that system that I referred to as your metabolism," she clarifies, contrasting them with conventional medications that block bodily processes.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we explore how peptide production naturally declines as we age, explaining why that lightning-fast metabolism of our twenties seems to vanish despite maintaining similar habits. More importantly, Dr. Duelley shares her personal transformation - losing 34 pounds while significantly improving her metabolic markers through a balanced approach of micro-dosing peptides alongside sensible nutrition and movement.

Beyond weight management, we discover peptides that support joint function, sexual health, gut healing, and muscle preservation. Dr. Duelley addresses common concerns about peptide delivery methods, explaining why injectable peptides offer significantly higher efficacy (85%) compared to oral options (1-2%), and why micro-dosing just once weekly makes the process far less intimidating than most imagine.

Whether you're frustrated with stubborn weight issues, concerned about metabolic health, or simply curious about peptide therapy, this conversation provides practical, accessible information to help you make informed decisions about your wellness journey. Ready to restore your metabolic flexibility? This episode might just change your approach to health forever.

Dr. Vohn Watts revolutionized his functional medicine practice with a profound discovery: addressing foundational health issues often eliminates the need for complex treatments. This game-changing approach focuses on preparing the body's "terrain" before attempting to treat specific conditions – much like a farmer prepares soil before planting.

The conversation reveals how Dr. Watts transformed his clinical outcomes by implementing a four-month preparatory phase that addressed nutritional deficiencies and toxic burdens before any treatment began. Remarkably, about 60% of his patients, many with autoimmune thyroid conditions, never needed to proceed to the treatment phase as their lab markers normalized through this foundational approach alone.

We dive deep into why random supplementation can create more problems than it solves, with Dr. Watts emphasizing the importance of knowing exactly why you're taking each supplement. He shares invaluable insights about proper detoxification preparation, revealing that detox shouldn't make you feel terrible if done correctly. The discussion also covers the crucial role of liver health in thyroid function, absorption technology in supplement effectiveness, and the surprising truth about "natural flavors" on ingredient labels.

Perhaps most empowering is Dr. Watts' core message: "Health isn't complicated". While modern wellness culture often feels overwhelming with conflicting advice, the fundamental principles remain straightforward – proper nutrition, addressing deficiencies, reducing toxic burden, and supporting organ function. As he beautifully puts it, "You don't have to be smart to take your health into your own hands."

Discovering that sleep is a learnable skill can be life-changing for anyone struggling with insomnia or poor sleep quality. Mollie Eastman, founder of Sleep is a Skill, shares her transformative journey from battling severe insomnia while traveling internationally to becoming a sleep optimization expert who has coached high-stakes poker players and interviewed over 250 sleep specialists.

At the heart of quality sleep lies our circadian rhythm – a 24-hour biological clock that governs countless bodily functions. Modern life has disconnected us from natural light-dark cycles, with the average person spending 90% of their time indoors since 2001. This disconnection disrupts our internal timekeeping system, leading to sleep difficulties that conventional medicine often fails to address properly. Most doctors receive less than two hours of sleep training, and an estimated 80% of people with sleep apnea remain undiagnosed despite serious health consequences.

Mollie unpacks the concept of "zeitgebers" or time-givers – environmental cues that help keep our internal clocks calibrated. These include light exposure (the most powerful signal), temperature fluctuations, meal timing, exercise patterns, and even thought cycles. Simple strategies like getting morning sunlight, limiting evening blue light, finishing meals earlier, and maintaining consistent sleep-wake schedules can dramatically strengthen your circadian rhythm and improve sleep quality.

Perhaps most fascinating is the brain's glymphatic system – a cleanup mechanism that activates primarily during deep sleep to wash away metabolic waste. When sleep is compromised, this maintenance process can't function properly, potentially contributing to conditions like Alzheimer's and dementia. By treating sleep as a skill rather than a fixed trait, we open ourselves to tremendous improvement potential that transforms not just our nights but our entire experience of life.

Ever wondered why certain diets or supplements work wonders for some people but leave you feeling worse? The answer may lie in your genetic code – your body's unique instruction manual that determines how you process nutrients, handle stress, and even your susceptibility to certain health conditions.

In this eye-opening conversation with Chris Lippe, founder of Reveal My DNA, we explore the fascinating world of genetic testing and how understanding your DNA blueprint can transform your approach to health. Chris shares his personal journey into genetics after losing his father unexpectedly to a heart attack, discovering that a specific gene mutation affecting his homocysteine levels might have been the culprit – and how this knowledge may have saved his own life.

We dive deep into methylation, that crucial biological process affecting everything from energy levels to mood stability to detoxification capacity. Did you know that up to 45% of people have genetic variations in their MTHFR gene that can reduce their ability to process certain nutrients by as much as 60-95%? This explains why blanket health recommendations often fail – your body literally processes food and supplements differently based on your genetic makeup.

The conversation extends beyond methylation to explore connections between genetic variants and Alzheimer's risk, cardiovascular health, immunity, and even structural integrity of ligaments and tendons. Perhaps most importantly, we discuss how genetic information empowers you to take preventative action decades before symptoms might appear, potentially altering your health trajectory with targeted nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle modifications.

What distinguishes this approach from basic consumer genetic tests is the clinical-grade analysis – using next-generation sequencing that achieves 99% accuracy – and the translation of complex genetic data into practical recommendations like personalized food shopping lists based on 840 scientific studies. And unlike many genetic testing companies, Reveal My DNA maintains strict privacy standards, never selling customer data.

Kim Rogers, known to her million-plus followers as the "Worm Queen," reveals the hidden epidemic that nearly killed her after 13 surgeries and countless doctor visits failed to identify the real problem. Despite her extensive background in healthcare—two medical degrees, running 25 healthcare colleges, and authoring medical books—Kim found herself preparing for death in 2019 as her organs began shutting down from an undiagnosed parasitic infection.

When conventional medicine offered no answers, Kim took her health into her own hands, discovering that cryptosporidium parvium was at the root of her devastating symptoms. This revelation sparked her mission to break the taboo around parasites in Western medicine countries—a taboo that keeps millions suffering unnecessarily. As Kim explains, parasites don't just live in your gut; they inhabit blood, tissue, muscle, and even brain matter, holding heavy metals, mold spores, and other toxins that collectively contribute to chronic illness.

The symbiotic relationship between parasites and other environmental toxins creates a complex health puzzle that standard medical testing often misses entirely. Kim's stool sample tested negative at LabCorp but positive at an independent lab, illuminating why the CDC's estimate of 60 million Americans with parasites falls drastically short of the 95% she believes are actually affected.

Perhaps most unsettling is how parasites can manipulate our behavior and mental health by consuming serotonin and altering brain chemistry. The connection between parasites and full moon symptom flares isn't folklore—it's biology. French tradition recommends parasite cleansing before the full moon because parasites dislodge and migrate through the body during this time, riding the heightened serotonin flows to establish new colonies while literally eating away at your happiness.

Through her company RogersHood, Kim now helps others reclaim their health through regular parasite cleansing—a practice common in many countries but overlooked in Western medicine. Her message is clear: environmental toxins are driving the autoimmune disease epidemic, and understanding them is key to a true medical awakening. Whether you're grinding your teeth, experiencing unexplained pain, or feeling "off" during full moons, perhaps it's time to ask—what's really eating you?
