539. Rapid Recovery Tools: My 5 Keys to Healing After Cancer Surgery (or any surgery)
I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing my own cancer surgery recovery playbook—my 5 rapid recovery tools that helped me bounce back faster than my doctor thought possible. You’ll get the real story about my hysterectomy, the emotional rollercoaster of a cancer diagnosis (yep, I’m officially cancer-free!), and the exact science-backed strategies I used to speed heal, crush inflammation, support my immune system, and get back to the gym way ahead of schedule. If cancer, surgery, or just flat-out “I need to heal now” vibes are on your radar, this is the badass protocol you’ve been waiting for.
Trust me, you don’t want to miss this one. I break down my top tools—from black cumin seed oil (a total inflammation-buster and cancer-fighting powerhouse), to red light therapy, to grounding with the Aligned Mat, optimizing hormone health with my go-to supplement, and of course, strategic use of cutting-edge peptides. Whether you’re facing a tough diagnosis or just want to bulletproof your body, these tactics aren’t just for post-op—they’re for life and prevention, too. Listen in to get the actionable steps, the “why” behind each one, and your first-class ticket to never hearing that C word. Prevention, healing, and next-level thriving—all inside this episode!

538. Does T4 - Synthroid Cause Cancer?
Is your Synthroid (T4) prescription quietly sabotaging your health or maybe even worse? Is it hiking up your cancer risk? In this episode, I rip apart the social media fear-mongering and take you on a science-backed deep dive through the headline making claims about Levothyroxine, Synthroid, and all things T4. You’ll hear the truth behind those scary “T4 causes cancer” statements, what the research actually says, and why so many docs lean on T4-only treatments that can leave you fat, foggy, and, yes, increased risk for cancer if they’re not paying attention to critical lab markers like reverse T3.
I'll break down the difference between T4, T3, and why reverse T3 (the notorious antithyroid hormone) matters way more than your doctor might admit. Learn how a sluggish thyroid protocol can suppress your immune system, fuel cancer-promoting pathways, and what you can do about it. If you’ve ever worried about your morning thyroid pill or wanted legit answers that empower rather than terrify, this episode is your no BS guide to optimizing your thyroid and putting another layer of armor between you and “the big C.” Block out the nonsense, let’s get you educated on T4 medications.

537. Five Minutes to Boost Thyroid and Burn Fat
In this episode, I team up with Ulrich Dempfle—the brain behind the Carol bike—to shatter the “cardio queen” myth once and for all. We get into the science of why endless hours on the treadmill aren’t just pointless, they could be sabotaging your thyroid, spiking cortisol, breaking down muscle, and making your body hang on to fat for dear life. Instead, Ulrich and I reveal how short, AI-powered, resistance-based sprints (just two bursts of 20 seconds!) can supercharge your VO2 max, metabolic health, and actually transform your body composition—especially if you’re sick of feeling inflamed or stuck in a fat-loss plateau.
You’ll hear my personal shift from marathon cardio to quick, intense workouts and why I feel better than ever at 51. We dig into why this approach is a metabolic and mitochondrial game-changer (especially for my Hashimoto’s warriors!), how it supports muscle, reduces inflammation, and is way easier to recover from. Plus, you’ll learn how to score a risk-free trial of the Carol bike and never need to dread another hour-long cardio grind. If you’re ready for the smarter way to slim down and get your energy back, this is the episode for you!

536. Cancer Wasn't in the Plan: How I Found Out and What I'm Doing About It
In this seriously personal episode, I'm flipping the script and taking you behind the scenes of my own cancer diagnosis, a twist that was never in the plan. I'm sharing every detail, from how I accidentally stumbled onto my uterine cancer (no, I wasn’t bleeding!) to the boatload of questions, second opinions, unconventional protocols, and tough-as-nails decisions that followed. I break down not only the roller coaster of emotions, but also the exact hormone strategies, labs, interventions, and healing protocols I’m doing now to support my recovery and kick my cancer risk to the curb for good.
If you’ve ever wondered how a hormone and thyroid expert thinks through the mess of modern cancer rates, prevention, treatment options, and post-surgery recovery, or if you just want the real, unfiltered truth about hormone replacement, cancer screening, and taking control in a toxic world, this is your must-listen episode. Whether you’ve faced that "C word" yourself or you’re all about next-level health hacks and prevention, this story is packed with honesty, practical takeaways, and the hope you need to stay fierce no matter what. Trust me, you’ll walk away smarter, empowered, and maybe even a little more badass.

534. 60 Days to Total Mind-Body Transformation: Become More YOU
I'm diving head-first into something totally different, and much deeper, with my guest and friend Ryan Riley. We’ve all heard the classic advice: get your hormones and thyroid balanced, clean up your diet, ditch the toxins. But what about those stubborn health plateaus that just won’t budge, no matter how “optimized” your labs look? That’s exactly why I brought Ryan and his transformative 60-Day More Health, More Life, More YOU Challenge to you. We break down why true healing, lasting, body-wide, glow-up level healing, can’t just be a surface job. Ryan shares his own journey from tech-world burnout and unhealthy habits to thriving health, empowered relationships, and a level of energy most 50-somethings only dream about. And he’s not a doctor or a coach... just someone who’s been through “the real stuff” and built an actionable blueprint for the rest of us.
Tune in for tons of ah-ha moments, some seriously moving transformation stories, and why cracking the code to health sometimes means unpacking emotional roadblocks, not just your supplement cupboard. We go deep on how this 60-day challenge isn’t about quick fixes, but how it’s about going “below the surface” to finally become MORE of yourself. Plus, if you’re curious about stem cells and what they really mean for aging, healing, and bouncing back from surgery, Ryan explains the science and his incredible real-life success stories. Ready for a mind-body reset that’s personal, practical, and maybe a little bit spiritual? Hit play. This episode is your next step towards whole-body vitality and a more powerful YOU.

533. THE BEST Skincare Routine for Midlife Women: How to have the Skin of a 25 Year Old
In this episode, I'm joined by Amitay Eshel, CEO and founder of Young Goose, to share all the secrets behind having glowing, youthful skin... yes, even in midlife! If you’ve been bouncing between skincare lines and feeling underwhelmed by promises and airbrushed claims, this conversation delivers the real deal. Amitay and I dive deep into why midlife skin changes seemingly overnight (hello, hormones and thyroid!) and how your skin is a true window into what’s happening inside your body. We go way beyond the basics, breaking down exactly how ingredients like NAD, spermidine, and copper peptides can revitalize not just your complexion, but your skin’s actual biological age. We even geek out on why you need to ditch basic vitamin C serums and which powerhouse molecules can flip the switch on cellular cleanup and collagen support.
If you’re overwhelmed by the endless skincare options out there, worry not! We get super specific about building your optimal anti-aging skincare routine, whether you’re deep in perimenopause or just starting to see those "mom" genes creeping in. Expect real talk about prepping your skin before lasers, the best products to build your foundational routine, and why “prejuvenation” should be your new favorite word. By the end, you’ll not only know how to get your glow back, but you’ll actually understand the science behind it. Dive in and discover how to get the skin (and confidence) you deserve, all backed by passion, science, and the obsession for results you know I live by!

532. The Silent Epidemic That's NOT in the NEWS
I’m pulling back the curtain on “the silent epidemic” that your doctors (and the nightly news) are avoiding like the plague: undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, and downright dismissed thyroid dysfunction. With over 20 million Americans on thyroid meds (and millions more suffering in silence), I lay out exactly why being foggy, fat, and fatigued isn’t “just getting older”, it’s your body whispering (and then screaming) for help. We get into the medical gaslighting that keeps you trapped in a body that doesn’t feel like your own, debunk why “normal labs” mean nothing, and why that 2 pm energy crash and sudden hair loss are NOT about willpower or Red Bulls.
I’m getting real about the failures of cookie cutter medicine and the dangers of those "one size fits all" telehealth clinics. Your thyroid deserves more than being funneled through an algorithm! You’ll hear why early and optimal testing are game-changers (hint: TSH is NOT a thyroid hormone), how untreated thyroid issues can spiral into diabetes, infertility, and even cognitive decline, and why no amount of green smoothies or meditation will magically replenish depleted T3. If you’re ready to turn whispers into answers, demand real help, and reclaim your energy, this eye-opening episode is your first step out of thyroid limbo. Tune in because living with thyroid dysfunction is NOT your new normal!

531. The Poison You Consume Daily that is Making You Gain Weight, Get Cancer and Lower Thyroid Function... and it's Not Glyphosate
I’m diving deep with James Swanwick—a true pioneer in the alcohol-free movement—to expose the real poison in your glass that’s tanking your metabolism, wrecking your thyroid, screwing up your sleep, fueling inflammation, and yes, making it almost impossible to lose weight. And spoiler alert: it’s not glyphosate, it’s ALCOHOL. We unravel the deeply ingrained cultural conditioning that makes you think alcohol is “normal” and even “healthy”—while in reality, even just one drink a night can cause brain shrinkage, hormone disruption, thyroid slow-down, and a total beauty sabotage (hello, aging skin and crow’s feet!). James shares his personal story of breaking free from nightly drinking and how that single shift transformed his body, health, and confidence in ways most people only dream of.
We bust through the misleading studies, social pressures, and alcohol industry marketing that keep you stuck in the cycle—and lay out the science on why your fat-burning engine can’t run when you drink. If you think your one glass of wine is “no big deal,” brace yourself: we’re talking lost beauty, tanked metabolism, blood sugar chaos, and yes, a higher risk of cancer.

530. My Cancer Diagnosis and The DUTCH Test: How It Helps to Customize Hormone Protocols
In this powerhouse episode of The Thyroid Fixer Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing something deeply personal: my recent uterine cancer diagnosis. But this isn’t just a story about me—it’s about everything I’m uncovering for YOU as I navigate the tough questions about hormone replacement, cancer risk, and bioidentical hormones. I brought in the hormone whisperer herself, Betty Murray, to break down my DUTCH test results and show you how this test can reveal critical pieces of your hormonal puzzle, from estrogen metabolism to those sneaky detox pathways that even most practitioners don’t see coming. If you've ever wondered how to personalize your hormone replacement and avoid the cookie-cutter clinic approach, this episode is your must-listen cheat sheet.
We’re diving deep on why no woman should settle for an algorithmic approach to hormone therapy—because you are not an algorithm! You’ll hear exactly how genetics, lifestyle, and even environmental toxins can impact your estrogen metabolism and overall cancer risk. We’ll talk about what those DUTCH test dials really mean for your thyroid, testosterone, cortisol, and most importantly, your long-term health. Whether you’re already on HRT, battling fatigue, have a family history of cancer, or simply want to bulletproof your future, this episode will arm you with the knowledge to advocate for your own body...plus, you’ll get some never-heard insights into how I’m customizing my post-cancer hormone protocol.
