Weight loss resistance... everything is in line, we are optimizing your thyroid, your hormones are on track, your insulin is low, and everything looks perfect on paper BUT you're still not losing! The big question is WHY??! Let me be real with you here. Some call it TOUGH LOVE! If you are working with me, we must look at everything that you are putting in your mouth. I mean everything. All the bites of here and bites of there. Yes, everything. Your labs won't lie to us. All we have to look at is your insulin and you A1c. They will tell us the truth.

For those of you that are not a patient of mine, you gotta get your thyroid optimized period...bottom line! You need to be working with someone who is experienced with thyroid and hormones and be sure to get your hormones optimal...especially testosterone (both males and females). Insulin and A1c need to be monitored and of course track your food to be the most accurate for your daily intake.

I hear it so often, I'm doing all of the things, why won't my weight budge? It is multi-faceted. Food intake, thyroid and hormone optimization, insulin, A1c, sleep etc. We have to put the whole picture together and then results will come.

Is your thyroid medication helping you or hurting you? Wrong meds, wrong combination of meds, and not taking into consideration ALL the contributing factors involved may be the reason(s) you remain in a hypo state. All of this needs to be considered. So here in this episode, let's take a look at your thyroid meds, at your symptoms and understand really what it is that you are actually taking and if you are even taking it correctly. So many categories of medication to consider. We have T4, T3, a combination of T4 + T3 (I call these Biosynths), and NDT medications. Let me break each of these down for you.

Let's do a real quick breakdown of ALL the different labs that you should get if you are gaining weight, fatigued, having hair loss, constipated and more. Take notes and order these labs yourself or take this list to your doctor and ask for each and every one of these. As you listen, you will be able to understand the why behind why each of these labs is needed. And remember, if your practitioner will not order ALL these labs for you, you are seeing the WRONG DOCTOR! Find a doc that wants to work with you to help you find the answers you are searching for.

Grab this epidsode's where I interview Kyle Gillett MD. Dr. Gillett and I resonate on so many levels including our thoughts on obesity and hormones...so much so that I wanted to bring him on my podcast so you, the listener, can hear the similarities in our thoughts on a insulin, intermittent fasting, SHBG levels and more.

Dr. Gillett enjoys providing holistic individualized care to his patients. His practice includes preventative medicine, aesthetics, sports medicine, hormone optimization, obstetrics and infertility, integrative medicine, and precision medicine including genomics. He believes that each human is a unique creation that requires attention to their body, mind, and soul. He uses shared decision-making and an evidence-based approach. He firmly believes “food is medicine” and “exercise is medicine”. Dr. Gillett describes the “7 pillars of health”: exercise, diet, sleep, stress, social, sunlight, and spirit. These are more powerful than any medication or supplement.
