About this episode
Listen while I break down the truth bomb that thyroid optimization is actually easy —when you know what you’re doing! If you’ve ever felt lost in the maze of weight that won’t budge, midday crashes, or endless hair shedding and your labs keep coming back “normal,” this one's for you. I’ll walk you through the essentials, from the critical labs (hello, free T3 and reverse T3) to why T4-only therapy is basically a fairytale for most of us. It all starts with the right testing—if your doctor isn’t running the full panel or caps your T3, run! And don’t even get me started on cookie-cutter, algorithm-driven clinics. I’ll even dive into why hormones—estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—can make or break your thyroid game, and how true optimization blends both thyroid and hormones for next-level results. You’ll hear some tough truths, lots of hope, and actionable steps to help you advocate for yourself, ditch that negative self-talk, and finally live in "optimization land." No more guessing games, just clear, nerdy fun—because this is about YOU taking charge and thriving. If you’re done settling and want to know how simple it really can be, this episode will give you the roadmap. WHAT DO MY LABS MEAN?!
