The Thyroid-Adrenal Connection: Unlocking Your Body’s Energy


Listen Later

Dr. Rodger Murphree—board-certified nutritional specialist, chiropractic physician, and functional medicine expert—breaks down the vital link between thyroid health, adrenal fatigue, and overall metabolism. Drawing on 34 years in practice and two decades specializing in fibromyalgia, he explains why millions of Americans suffer from undiagnosed thyroid dysfunction, how chronic stress and nutrient deficiencies block hormone conversion, and what natural interventions can restore vitality.

Dr. Murphree simplifies complex biochemistry into practical insight—covering everything from the roles of T3, T4, and reverse T3 to the impact of gut health, liver function, and cortisol regulation. Listeners will learn self-tests for thyroid and adrenal health, the importance of proper lab work, and evidence-based steps for balancing hormones naturally.
