Hippocrates said that, “All disease begins in the gut.” Sure there are some other potential factors for the onset of illness, but for the man considered to be the father of modern medicine to say this, it’s definitely something that we need to stop and think about.

He knew then what we know now, which is the human gut is literally the foundation for our lives. This is the place that food cells get converted into you cells.

Your thyroid is the master regulator of your metabolism. Any endeavors for healthy weight loss or weight gain are all governed by your hyper-intelligent thyroid gland.

Today, more than ever, there’s a war being waged against your thyroid gland. Environmental pollution, nutrient deficiencies, and unchecked stress are all putting a dire burden on this critical gland. Millions of people are being stricken with thyroid issues, and conventional medicine doesn’t have a solution for it.

The standard approach is to counterattack the thyroid gland using dangerous medications, removing your thyroid gland, or even destroying your thyroid gland with radiation as a method of “treatment”.

If the thyroid is already being attacked by our abnormal conditions today, what sense does it make to attack the thyroid even more? Why wouldn’t we support the thyroid and help it to perform normally? Why wouldn’t we focus on removing the underlying cause of the thyroid condition so that there’s nothing to battle in the first place?

That’s where Dr. Amy Myers comes in.

Amy Myers, MD is a renown leader in functional medicine and author of the New York Times bestselling book The Autoimmune Solution. She’s been a pioneer in helping the public at large truly understand thyroid function and how to safely and naturally reverse even the most difficult thyroid issues. What’s even more powerful is that Dr. Myers is teaching all of us from firsthand experience as a thyroid patient herself. She’s here today to share her story and to share with you how to have amazing, vibrant health by optimizing the function of this remarkable gland.

• How Dr. Amy Myers’ own thyroid struggles transformed her life and shifted her career.
• How conventional medicine treats hyperthyroid and hypothyroid conditions.
• Why having a functioning thyroid enables your body to respond to your lifestyle.
• What Grave’s disease is and the symptoms it causes.
• How conventional physicians tend to misdiagnose and mistreat thyroid conditions.
• Why normal thyroid labs doesn’t necessarily mean you have healthy thyroid function.
• What your various thyroid hormones are and what they do (this is important!).
• What can cause your reverse T3 to go out of optimal range.
• Why thyroid conditions are far more prevalent today.
• Which nutrient deficiencies can cause thyroid problems.
• How your gut health deeply impacts your thyroid function.
• The surprising ways that stress can cause severe thyroid problems.

How can a society with access to infinite information struggle so mightily with an issue like weight loss? I think that one major reason is that knowledge of the body and how it works is advertised to be complex and difficult to understand. We, as a society, are led to believe that our own bodies (that we call home!) are far too confusing that only a small percentage of people seem to understand the truth about them.

Well, I’m here to share with you that the truth surrounding how your body and metabolism works is simple, attainable, and your birthright to know about. Galileo said, “All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.” Today we have the incredible Dr. Jade Teta on to help you discover how your amazing metabolism works so that you can be empowered to create the body and life you want.

• What hormones actually are.
• The amazing things that can happen when “passion bumps into purpose”.
• Why the way we think about metabolism is terribly wrong.
• What The Law of Metabolic Compensation is.
• Why muscle is expensive for your body to carry.
• How fat and muscle release “metabolic smoke”.
• What Metabolic Multitasking is (this is powerful!).
• What the heck HEC is and how it impacts your body.
• The 4 different ways to shift your ratio of diet and exercise to keep your metabolism responding.
• Why “structured flexibility” is so important to changing your body composition.
• How woman can cross-train their menstrual cycle for better fitness results.

There’s a wonderful quote from Carl Jung that says, “The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.”

Our deepest relationships transform us. And which direction that chemical reaction goes can make all of the difference in the world. You can end up with a beautiful reaction that breathes life into everyone who’s around it, or a not-so-good reaction that can smother everyone in the room. The thing is, we don’t have to sit idly by and just hope that things will mix well together. We can actually uncover which things work great together, and put them into action for ourselves!

There will be nothing that impacts your life more than the quality of your most intimate relationship. Becoming a great “relationship chemist” will bring you more health, happiness, and success than you can even imagine.
