    637. If I Only Had 90 Days to Fix My Thyroid From Scratch

    09/06/2026 | 30min
    What would I do if I had just 90 days to improve my thyroid health and had to start from scratch? In this episode, I walk through the exact framework I would follow if I had limited resources and needed to focus only on the things that matter most. We talk about why so many women feel stuck despite doing everything they have been told to do, and why more effort is not always the answer. Instead, I share a practical roadmap built around creating stability, supporting thyroid function, and giving the body the conditions it needs to respond.

    I break down the three phases I would focus on over a 90-day period, including where lab testing fits in, how thyroid hormone conversion impacts symptoms, and why consistency often matters more than intensity. This conversation is about simplifying the process, setting realistic expectations, and understanding how to work with your body instead of constantly pushing against it.

    What you’ll learn:


    Why the sequence of your healing strategy can matter more than the number of things you are doing


    The first steps I would take if I were rebuilding my thyroid health from the ground up


    How stress and nervous system regulation influence thyroid function


    Why thyroid medication is only one piece of the puzzle


    The role hormones play in energy, metabolism, and thyroid health


    How under-eating and overtraining can interfere with recovery


    What realistic progress looks like during the first 90 days


    The common mistakes that keep women stuck in a cycle of frustration and trial-and-error

    If you have been wondering where to focus your energy or feeling overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, this episode offers a clear and practical place to start.

    636. How to Titrate Up Your T3 the RIGHT Way

    05/06/2026 | 31min
    In this episode, I’m answering one of the most common questions I receive from patients: how do you actually titrate T3 safely and effectively? We walk through the practical side of increasing both natural desiccated thyroid medications and T3 medications like Cytomel or liothyronine, including why the process looks different for different people. I explain how T3 works in the body, why sensitivity varies so much from person to person, and what symptoms can signal that you’re moving too quickly - or not quickly enough.

    I also discuss the realities of thyroid optimization, including why progress is rarely linear and why patience is often one of the hardest parts of the process.

    What you’ll learn:


    Why T3 titration is rarely a one-size-fits-all process


    How natural desiccated thyroid medications differ from standalone T3 medications


    The role sensitivity to caffeine, stimulants, and medications may play in determining dosing strategies


    What symptoms can suggest you’ve increased your dose too quickly


    Why reverse T3 is an important marker to monitor during thyroid treatment


    How to think about dose increases when progress feels inconsistent


    The potential drawbacks of remaining on very low doses of T3 long term


    Why thyroid optimization often requires ongoing adjustments rather than a fixed protocol

    If you're currently taking T3, considering adding it to your treatment plan, or wondering why thyroid medication hasn't produced the results you expected, this episode will help you better understand the titration process and the factors that can influence how you respond.

    635. The Truth Behind Medical Gaslighting

    02/06/2026 | 28min
    In this episode, I’m talking honestly about why so many patients leave doctor’s appointments feeling dismissed, unheard, or stuck in a cycle of “normal labs” despite ongoing symptoms. I walk through the structural issues inside both conventional and functional medicine that shape how providers diagnose, prescribe, and communicate with patients, especially when it comes to thyroid and hormone health. From insurance reimbursement models and medical school training to pharmaceutical influence and malpractice fears, I explain why many well-meaning doctors still operate inside rigid systems that leave little room for nuance, curiosity, or individualized care.

    I also discuss the growing frustrations patients experience when navigating chronic and complex conditions, and why symptoms are often minimized when they don’t fit neatly inside standard lab ranges or insurance-approved treatment protocols.

    What you’ll learn:


    Why thyroid and hormone patients are often told their labs are “normal” despite persistent symptoms


    How insurance reimbursement influences which tests doctors are willing to order


    The role medical school training plays in shaping treatment decisions


    Why many providers are hesitant to prescribe T3 or order advanced thyroid panels


    How fear of audits, lawsuits, and professional consequences affects patient care


    The difference between true specialization and “jack of all trades” functional medicine


    Why symptoms often appear long before standard lab markers become abnormal


    How to advocate for yourself without assuming every doctor has bad intentions

    If you’ve ever felt frustrated trying to get answers about your health, this episode will give you more context for how these systems operate and why so many patients feel stuck navigating them.

    634. Why 'Pushing Through' Is Wrecking Your Hormones with Kerstin Lindquist

    29/05/2026 | 1h 9min
    I sit down with wellness coach and former QVC host Kerstin Lindquist to unpack the hidden ways stress is silently destroying women’s health. From dementia and hormone imbalance to gut issues, weight gain, burnout, and sleep disruption, we connect the dots between the nervous system, the brain, and the body in a way every woman needs to hear. Kerstin shares the heartbreaking story of losing her mother to stress induced dementia and how that experience completely transformed the way she approaches health, rest, and healing.

    We dive into the dangerous “hurry culture” women are trapped in, why rest feels so uncomfortable for so many of us, and how fear and overcontrol may actually be blocking healing in the body. We also talk about the biohacking obsession happening in midlife women right now and why more is not always better when it comes to fasting, cold plunges, supplements, and stress on the body.

    What you’ll learn:


    Why stress may be affecting your brain more than you realize


    The hidden “healthy habits” that can actually backfire in perimenopause


    What your constant rushing and over scheduling might really be doing to your nervous system


    The surprising connection between fear, control, and chronic symptoms


    Why some women still feel stuck even when “everything looks good on paper”


    The small daily habit that could dramatically change your sleep and hormones


    How your body responds differently to stress in your 40s and 50s

    This is one of those conversations I truly believe every woman needs to hear and share.

    633. The Cortisol Loop, Hidden Inflammation & Why Your Thyroid Won't Heal with Dr. Taz Bhatia

    26/05/2026 | 56min
    In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Taz Bhatia to unpack her deeply personal journey from being a conventional ER physician dismissed by the very medical system she worked in, to becoming one of the leading voices in integrative medicine. After struggling with hair loss, weight gain, brain fog, PCOS, hypothyroidism, and years of medical gaslighting, Dr. Taz realized the answer was never going to come from a one size fits all prescription pad. 

    Together, we dive into the real root causes behind hormone dysfunction, the dangerous “cortisol loop” keeping so many women inflamed and exhausted, and why your gut may be the missing piece no one has looked at yet.

    We also get into some seriously fascinating territory around the emotional and energetic side of healing, including the connection between thyroid disease and the throat chakra, why so many women lose their voice before they lose their health, and how ancient medicine may have understood the body better than we do today. 

    What you’ll learn:


    Why “high cortisol” is rarely the full story


    The hidden connection between PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, and hair loss


    How gut health quietly controls your hormones behind the scenes


    The surprising hormone patterns tied to different female personality types


    Why some women crash harder during perimenopause than others


    The overlooked emotional component of thyroid disease


    What Dr. Taz really thinks about pellets, online hormone clinics, and GLP-1s


    How to know if your body is stuck in an inflammation loop

    Healing is not supposed to happen in isolation, and conversations like this are how we start changing the future of women’s health together.
