Episode description

I sit down with Izabella Wentz to unpack why thyroid dysfunction is so often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated. We'll explore why most "low thyroid" cases are actually autoimmune in nature, how gut health, liver detoxification, stress, and toxins drive symptoms long before labs turn abnormal, and why so many people feel terrible despite being told their tests are "normal."

This conversation is a deep dive into systems-based healing, designed to help you recognize red flags, ask better questions, and understand when self-experimentation ends and professional support becomes essential.
