The Dr. Josh Axe Show

Dr. Amy Myers was diagnosed with Graves' disease within a year of losing her mother to pancreatic cancer — and after having her thyroid ablated in medical school, she's spent two decades helping people reverse the autoimmune conditions most doctors say you'll have for life. In this conversation, Dr. Myers and Dr. Axe break down why autoimmunity so often starts with leaky gut and a stressful event, the nutrients your thyroid needs to turn T4 into active T3, and the labs most doctors skip — including antibodies that can show up six to ten years before a diagnosis. Dr. Myers also shares the four pillars of her revised book, The Autoimmune Solution, and how toxic mold, PTSD, and a cancer scare taught her that healing trauma is part of healing the body. If you've been curious about Hashimoto's, Graves', thyroid labs, gut health, or the mind-body side of healing, this episode gives you a root-cause roadmap that most doctors have never mentioned.

Feeling tired even after a full night’s sleep, or wondering why your blood sugar keeps creeping up? Fatty liver disease can go unnoticed, even when routine blood tests look normal.

He also shares the drink he recommends each morning and discusses how food, herbs, supplements, movement, and spiritual practices fit into his approach to liver health.

Bloating, gas after meals, unexplained sugar cravings, and lingering fatigue—what could be behind your symptoms? In this solo episode, Dr. Josh Axe explores parasites and gut health, sharing his recommended 30-day parasite cleanse and the reasoning behind each step.

Brooke reflects on the changes she made to her nutrition and lifestyle, the role of prayer in her life, and why she refused to let a diagnosis define her future. Together, they explore the power of the words we speak over ourselves, taking an active role in our health, and finding peace amid uncertainty.
