Episode notes
Supplements Aren't A Cure-All
- You cannot supplement your way out of poor lifestyle and emotional health.
- Stress and habits are the primary drivers of many chronic illnesses, not just nutrient gaps.
Warm Foods For Thyroid Health
- Avoid cold, raw foods like salads and smoothies if you have hypothyroidism.
- Favor warm, cooked meals, soups, ginger, and warming spices to raise internal body temperature.
Thyroid Is Often The Bystander
- Thyroid symptoms often reflect upstream issues like adrenal stress, liver conversion, or gut microbiome problems.
- Addressing cortisol, methylation nutrients, and gut health often restores thyroid function.
