INSIGHT

Four Pillars Of Energy Delivery

Thyroid is one of four key parts of energy delivery: fuel (diet/gut), mitochondria, thyroid, and adrenals.
All four must be addressed in order for symptoms like chronic fatigue to resolve.

ANECDOTE

A Doctor's 40-Year Quest On Fatigue

Sarah Myhill spent four decades investigating fatigue after finding medical training focused on symptom suppression.
She pursued underlying causes and mitochondrial research to treat chronic fatigue and thyroid issues.

ADVICE

Fix Diet And Gut First

Start with diet and gut function as the foundation before treating thyroid or mitochondria.
Fix the fuel in the tank first, then repair mitochondria, then address thyroid and adrenal support.
