“You can’t be in trauma mode and healing mode at the same time.” - Dr. Irene CopWhen most people think of trauma, they think about abuse, war, or other major life-shifting events. In truth, at a fundamental level, trauma is any time we feel overwhelmed, powerless, out of control, vulnerable, and afraid.Traumatic experiences can come from chronic stress that has worn you right down, the sudden stress of a massive car accident, or any other seemingly minor incident left without getting healed or resolved. These experiences, whether major or minor, have been linked to serious health conditions and can’t be overlooked on the healing journey.Today, I’m excited to be joined by Irene Cop, MD, DC, founder and CEO of the Success S.H.I.F.T. Institute. Because of her catastrophic burnout and near-fatal experience, Dr. Irene developed an innovative protocol to heal against all odds that she uses with clients worldwide to help them bounce back from setbacks and live their most successful lives. Dr. Irene believes there's no use trying to heal your thyroid without healing your nervous system and neurophysiology.In this conversation, Dr. Irene and I discuss different types of trauma, the importance of addressing trauma at a physical and neurological level, how trauma can impact physical health and hinder healing, what you can do to start healing your unresolved trauma, how to become stronger and more resilient, and more.

“You can’t have a symptom or a diagnosis, whether it's chronic or autoimmune, without having an imbalance in one, two, or three of these core systems.” - Stephanie GrosvenorWhen we’re working towards optimal health, there are three core systems we need to focus on: the detoxification system, gut and digestive system, and immune system. While they are three different systems, they’re very closely linked - when one is affected, there are knock-on effects on the other two.The good news is that once we start to heal one of these systems, you’ll also see improvements in the other two.Today, I’m very excited to be joined by Stephanie Grosvenor, a holistic nutritionist and functional medicine Health Coach specializing in simplifying health for you so that you not only live a life that improves the way you look, live, feel, and age but one that you are excited to wake up to and live, every day.In this conversation, Stephanie and I discuss her health journey, the three core body systems that can help reverse thyroid autoimmunity, why you need realistic expectations in the healing process, how you can support and rebalance these systems, the role of stress management, sleep, and nutrient deficiencies in thyroid health, and more.

“Having a healthy diet will prevent disease down the road.” - Dr. Melinda RingIntegrative medicine always starts with lifestyle.

“I want my exercise to be efficient. I want it to be effective.” - Dr. Emily KiberdMuscle is essential to help convert thyroid hormones from T4 to T3. Unfortunately, it’s hard to build muscle for many people with thyroid conditions. At the same time, two of the biggest struggles for those dealing with hypothyroidism are chronic fatigue and losing weight.Feeding the muscle tissue with resistance training is often the best bet to tackle these issues since the more muscle we have, the more calories we burn at rest. Despite the cultural mindset of running and restricting fat intake, doing consistent resistance training and consuming enough protein can make a substantial positive difference to your health.To explore this topic further, I’m joined by Dr. Emily Kiberd today. Dr. Emily is a chiropractor, mama to Elvis and Brooklyn, and the creator of Thyroid Strong, the only doctor-designed exercise program for women with Hashimoto's to learn to work out without burnout. She has been featured in Vogue, Women's Health, Self magazine, and Fortune for her expertise in strength training, injury prevention, and ergonomics.In this conversation, Dr. Emily and I discuss the importance of exercise for individuals with thyroid conditions, her journey into helping people with muscle mass and exercise, the benefits of resistance training, recommendations for protein intake, the importance of proper form and technique, how to find the right exercise program for you, and more.

We can learn a lot by looking at the levels and the ratio of the main thyroid hormones tested these days, T3 and T4. When both are low, the most common cause is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, which occurs when the immune system damages the thyroid gland. However, if T3 is low and T4 is within the normal or optimal range, there are several factors we need to explore.Today, I’m sharing the main causes of low T3 levels in the presence of normal T4 levels.In this episode, you’ll learn about:- Main thyroid hormones that are tested- The most common causes of low T3 and T4- What’s usually below low T3 alongside normal T4 levels- Case study of my recent Graves’ patient who started with elevated levels - Optimal thyroid hormone levels I aim for with my patients- Factors that can cause a conversion of T4 to T3- The role of the liver and gut in the conversion of T4 to T3- Inflammation as a factor in thyroid disease- What you need to know about nutrient deficiencies and thyroid hormonesAs always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!To learn more, visit the show notes at https://savemythyroid.com/podcast/causes-of-low-t3/.Do You Want Help Saving Your Thyroid?

We all have stress in our lives, whether physical, chemical, emotional, or microbial, and how we deal with that stress makes a huge difference in how our bodies respond. A lot of what we see with thyroid physiology is an adaptive response to some type of excessive stress response.Getting well is not about how many supplements you take; it’s about finding a balanced approach to diet, nutrition, sleep, respiration, and exercise. We can support thyroid recovery by identifying and reducing the underlying stressors and addressing the foundational elements of good health.Today, I’m excited to discuss thyroid physiology with Dr. Eric Balcavage. Dr. Eric Balcavage is the owner and founder of Rejuvagen, a functional medicine clinic in Chadds Ford, PA, and a nationally recognized speaker and educator on various health-related topics, including thyroid physiology, bile physiology, detoxification, oxidative stress, methylation, and chronic illness.In this conversation, Dr. Eric and I discuss his journey into functional medicine, his perspective on thyroid health, the importance of identifying and addressing underlying stressors, limitations of the allopathic approach to treating thyroid disorders, Dr. Eric’s approach to thyroid hormone testing, the role of breathing and carbon dioxide in oxygenation, why we must look at lab markers in a bigger context, and more.
