About this episode
If you've been dealing with fatigue, weight gain, brain fog - and you're convinced that your thyroid is the problem…you might be starting in the wrong place. In this episode, I break down why the thyroid is sometimes not the first domino to fall, and why jumping straight to thyroid medication can sometimes backfire.
We're talking about the real upstream drivers:
- high HbA1c and insulin resistance
- mismanaged HRT (especially in perimenopause/menopause)
- low iron and poor thyroid conversion
Because if those are off, your thyroid is trying to function in chaos, and no amount of "perfect dosing" will fix that. If you've been chasing thyroid answers and not getting results, this episode will connect the dots and give you a smarter order of operations.
