In this episode of the Radiant Revolution Podcast, Kim takes a deep dive into one of the most overlooked and misunderstood pieces of women’s health: thyroid function.

She breaks down what the thyroid actually does, why so many women in perimenopause and menopause experience thyroid related symptoms, and why standard thyroid testing often misses the bigger picture. Kim also explains the powerful connection between thyroid health, cortisol, estrogen, gut health, and metabolism, and why so many women are told they’re “fine” when they feel anything but.

This episode is packed with practical education around thyroid symptoms, proper testing, optimal lab ranges, and root cause strategies to support thyroid function naturally and effectively.
