Are you worried about pesticides on your produce? Do you want to eat healthy but can't always afford to buy organic? Do you worry that the chemicals that farmers use are compromising your health? I want to help you understand the real danger of pesticides and GMOs from the perspective of someone who has been on both sides of the argument. My guest today was previously opposed to pesticides and GMOs, but after increasing her understanding of farming practices by becoming one herself, has become an advocate for GMO practices and works to inform consumers about the truth behind pesticides.

I'm joined today by Michelle Miller, also known as The Farm Babe, a keynote speaker, online influencer and farmer who raises sheep, beef cattle and grows over 2,000 acres of corn and soybeans in Northeast Iowa. Michelle herself is a mythbuster that works to connect consumers and farmers. She explains her own journey from myth-believer to mythbuster and explains in clear and simple terms the truth about the practices of both conventional and organic farmers, the pesticides and practices they both use, and what these facts mean for the health and safety of consumers.

Key Takeaways:

[1:08] Today's topic is the truth about GMOs and pesticides.

[2:24] Michelle explains the reasons she ate non-GMO and organic foods in the first place and the experiences that started to shift her understanding.

[7:41] The amount of herbicides sprayed on a GMO field per year is equivalent to two beer cans — Michelle explains how different that looks from the chemicals farmers were using in the 1960s.

[9:08] A comparison of the relative toxicity of glyphosate — also known as RoundUp — compared to the table salt in your kitchen.

[11:22] The importance of eating more fruits and vegetables will always outweigh the net effects of pesticides, and a look at what non-GMO labels have to gain by selling to consumer fears.

[13:44] What precautions do farmers take to ensure pesticides don't harm butterflies and bees? And how can everyone benefit from keeping an open mind to all science and medicine?

[20:00] Dr. C shares his farming background, the life experiences that led him to naturopathy, and his desire to keep all people as informed as possible.

[25:33] Is it possible that you're not feeling well because you ate GMOs? Consider your diet, exercise and sleep habits before you draw any conclusions about GMOs.

[27:32] Consumers need to choose to not be intellectually lazy when seeking to understand their health problems — "Dr. Google" is not going to give you the full picture of what exactly is going on.

[30:03] Which pesticides are actually dangerous, and in what amounts? Even organic and home-gardened food does not provide pesticide-free options.

[33:14] An overview of sustainability, using science for agriculture and the difference between attempting to produce purely organic produce now from 100 years ago.

[35:20] Does it really make sense for farmers to destroy their soil and crops with harmful pesticides? Michelle explains the risks farmers aren't willing to take when using pesticides.

OH, 💩! BY DR. MARISOL ND, BA

Between the latest online fads and the crazy media headlines, it's easier than ever to get confused about your health. If you want to make better decisions about your health today so you can feel better and live longer, you've come to the right place.

We've discussed the topic of low TSH levels on the podcast before, and I've shared with you my own perspective and the testimonials of healthy patients with varying TSH levels. Too commonly misdiagnosed as a pituitary disease or thyroid hormone resistance, low TSH levels can play a major role in the struggle to overcome sleep disturbances, weight loss or low energy levels.

I wanted to get one more angle on the topic, this time from conventionally trained endocrinologist and thyroidologist Dr. Brittany Henderson. Dr. Henderson has an integrated approach to care and sees the value in lifestyle and diet changes, but she is also no stranger to the harm of misdosing patients with thyroid medications. She has answers to some of the questions that I hear most often regarding TSH levels and thyroid disease, including how to reach optimal dosage levels and how to proceed when your thyroid levels aren't where they should be. Dr. Henderson's career evolved from hospital and research to clinical care as she really listened to the stories from patients who were struggling, and her expertise may offer the answers you've been looking for. This final conversation on TSH levels is one that you won't want to miss.

Key Takeaways:

[1:07] Today's topic is low TSH levels and the true effect they can have on your journey to optimal health.

[2:17] Dr. Henderson explains the data behind 'normal' and low TSH levels, and why this hormone has to be optimized along with all of your other hormones.

[6:00] The actions of TSH are not limited to just stimulating thyroid hormone production and actions in the fat cell and lipolysis, and TSH should not need to be suppressed.

[8:18] How can TSH levels be relevant when T3 and T4 levels are on the low end of the desired scale? Dr. Henderson explains.

[11:48] Understanding the scenario in which TSH levels can be tested as low while hormone levels are fluctuating, and the expected time it will take for the TSH levels to start moving after pituitary has been overly suppressed.

[13:44] What if you only feel well when your TSH levels are low? Dr. Henderson explains how she adjusts dosage to maximize wellness and the side effects that prove it's not safe to continue with low TSH levels.

[17:58] A look at 'subclinical' thyroid disease and its relationship to diabetes and chronic heart disease as well as the imperfect tools that have to be used to optimize thyroid function.

[21:10] The history of and critical need for correct thyroid hormone dosage amounts to avoid toxicosis.

[25:54] The reasons that you will not find much research on double-blind studies regarding Hashimoto's disease, and where you can get reliable information instead.

[27:49] Dr. Henderson shares the reason for her shift from hospital and research career to clinical care, and offers encouragement for anyone that is wondering how to proceed with their thyroid care.

[33:20] Dr. C concludes with a reminder of the goals and intentions of the conversations that take place on the Medical Myths, Legends, and Fairy Tales podcasts.
