Dr Eric Balcavage joins me to discuss his new book (co-authored with Dr Kelly Halderman), The Thyroid Debacle.

The topics we cover in this discussion are:

The mainstream medical model and functional medical approach to thyroid health.
How to think of thyroid health as a spectrum disorder.
Tissue/cellular hypothyroidism (see Ep58 too) and how cells are being protective (not attacking).
Thyroid antibodies and how they aren't like pac-man gobbling up thyroid tissue but more like a clean up crew clearing debris.
Thyroid antibodies cause little to no damage to the thyroid gland according to research.
Lowering antibodies shouldn't be the goal in itself but may well be the consequence of reducing stress.
How can you test for cellular hypothyroidism?
T3 is made in peripheral tissue as well as in the thyroid, liver and gut.
You need to look at the different systems in the body to see where cellular hypothyroidism is taking place.
Multi-System Adaptive Disorder - your system isn't BROKEN, it's ADAPTING.
The solution to most chronic issues.
The a cell is in danger/defence mode, it's not in repair/regeneration mode or not in repair/regeneration mode tor long enough.
Your fitness 10 categories determines your overall fitness (we discuss 1 in a little detail - Respiratory Fitness)
