Thyroid Stories...they all have a take-away. In this episode, previous patient of mine Gabriela Calegari tells of her childhood filled with weight issues and knowing something was wrong but just didn't have the tools to figure it out. Carrying these issues into adulthood and finding her answer with working with me has been nothing short of life changing for her and her family.

Listen to Gabriela's story and the best piece of advice she offers to you..."take the chance...give yourself the opportunity to find YOUR answer and don't get held up by excuses of it costing too much or it's going to take too long". If you are looking for inspiration and the reason to jump all in, here it is with Gabriela's story of sickness + stubborn weight to now....optimization!

I love dual podcasts when two experts come together to discuss a variety of topics. This episode features Debbie Potts, low carb athlete and endurance extraordinaire. We talk about fasted exercise, endurance training and gaining weight while endurance training. Ladies, I heard your complaints, and I've heard your questions. Debbie and I also tackle timing of carbs. sometimes in the peri menopausal or menopausal states. If you are endurance training, powerlifting, or CrossFitting, it's a little bit different for you...not necessarily just low carb all the time. You can be low carb, with a little bit of carbs...now doesn't that make you want to listen?

Intermittent fasting as a hypothyroid woman, can it be detrimental? Perhaps? Let's say you choose a 16:8 fast, meaning an 8 hour eating window, you must ask yourself...In those 8 hours are you getting in enough calories, nutrients and good, animal based protein? Ladies in those 8 hours are you getting in 3 protein laden, nutritious, good fat containing meals? If the answer is NO, then you shouldn't be doing it! It is going to be detrimental to your thyroid healing! What will happen is your body will go into a starvation mode from the lack of calories, nutrition and protein and it's going to literally shut down your metabolism. And...all this intermittent fasting is going to work against you. Yep, you guessed it...weight gain. In the long run as it relates to your thyroid, your reverse T3 is going to up because your body will recognize this starvation as a stressor. This will also absolutely raise your cortisol levels which will in addition increase reverse T3. Intermittent fasting must be done correctly if you want positive results. The key is, during you window of eating, your nutrition must be impeccably perfect.

Menopause...so many women are scared of menopause or are scared of replacing the sex hormones that are so desperately needed when they become depleted. In this episode, I bring back Nurse Practitioner, Catherine Buck who will unpack why menopause should not be feared. She will break down the benefits of replacing testosterone, progesterone and estrogen to optimal levels and explain why replacement may be needed at any age. Your fears should be in not replacing these most valuable hormones because these are what the body relies on to function and to avoid disease, especially as we age.

Adrenals, stress, anxiety and that fight, flight, freeze or fawn reactions you experience at times are all tied directly into your health. How you react in these stressful, anxiety driven circumstances are directly tied into your symptoms, your weight gain and your fatigue. So my guest expert in this episode is Kate Vazquez. Many of you know her as the author of Estrogen is a B*tch and when I interviewed her a while back about estrogen dominance. Now through Kate's own struggles with anxiety and migraines, she made a shift in her life, career and business to wanting to help ambitious women overcome and understand how to cope with stress and anxiety in today's world.

Love my special guest's knowledge and information she will share in this episode. So back with me again is Karen Martel, a hormone expert who is here to break down my DUTCH test results. As you remember a few episodes ago, I compared my blood labs with my DUTCH test and the discrepancies it showed. Now you are going to get the other side of the DUTCH which is the beneficial side of this test and what my panels actually showed! So take this in and learn about these hormone tests that are available and see if they can apply to you.

Need a relatable, tearful story? In this episode, hear the real life success story of a recent patient of mine. You will hear the depth of despair this patient went through trying to find her answers. Sarah Weise's story of unbearable thyroid symptoms including weight gain and fatigue to the point of losing hope...to her now closing in on being optimized today. After Sarah's third son was born, she did not lose the baby weight as she had with her previous two pregnancies. Then the fatigue set in...in her head she thought...I'm a busy mom with 3 active boys and I'm supposed to be tired. Little did she know the path she was about to face.

Those of us who have been told we are "normal"...your lab values look normal...will be able to relate to Sarah's story. You think, where can I find answers? The solid truth of what it takes to get optimized is spoken beautifully by my guest in this heart-felt episode.
