The Thyroid Fixer

Bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, food fear, and the never-ending cycle of “I treated it… so why is it back?” If that sounds familiar, this episode is a must-listen. In this conversation, I sit down with Angela Pifer, widely known as the “SIBO Guru,” to break down what Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth really is, why it’s so commonly missed or misdiagnosed, and why so many people relapse after treatment.

We dig into the different types of SIBO (hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide), why knowing the type matters, and how SIBO is often confused with IBS, food sensitivities, or general gut dysbiosis. Angela explains the biggest mistakes people make when trying to treat SIBO, including overusing probiotics, fiber, or antimicrobials without addressing the real drivers underneath.

We also talk about how SIBO impacts hormones, especially thyroid function, estrogen balance, and cortisol… and why motility, bile flow, and nervous system regulation are non-negotiables if you want real, lasting healing. This episode will challenge a lot of common gut health advice, but if you’ve been stuck in the SIBO loop, it may finally explain why nothing has worked long-term.

Inflammation isn’t just a buzzword, it’s often the quiet culprit behind fatigue, autoimmune flares, stubborn symptoms, and chronic disease. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Shivani Gupta to unpack what inflammation really looks like in the body (and mind), why food alone isn’t the magic fix, and how chronic stress quietly keeps the fire burning. We explore the powerful connection between mental inflammation and physical breakdown, plus why ignoring your circadian rhythm and lymphatic system can sabotage even the cleanest lifestyle.

You’ll also hear how Ayurveda offers a refreshingly practical lens on healing, including why turmeric deserves its gold-star reputation as an anti-inflammatory powerhouse. From daily self-care rituals to stress resilience strategies you can actually stick to, this conversation is a reminder that inflammation is not inevitable... it’s preventable, reversible, and very much within your control when lifestyle, mindset, and biology work together.

Food shouldn’t feel like a full-time job... especially when your thyroid already has opinions. In this episode, I cut through the diet chaos and talk honestly about what actually matters when you’re dealing with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s. Carnivore, keto, paleo, Mediterranean... I'm breaking them all down, the good, the bad, and the “why did this ever become a thing?” I explain why gluten is a hard "no" for autoimmune conditions, how grains can quietly stir up inflammation, and why overcomplicating food is often the fastest way to end up frustrated and stuck.

I also get into why protein becomes non-negotiable as we age, why healthy fats are essential for hormones (yes, you need them), and how different diets can impact the thyroid very differently depending on the person. I introduce the Paleto diet... my thyroid-friendly blend of paleo and keto as a realistic, balanced approach that supports blood sugar, hormones, and sanity. This episode is all about simplifying, personalizing, and finally eating in a way that works with your thyroid instead of against it.

Hormones are having a moment, and not always for the right reasons. In this episode, three top doctors: Dr. Julie Taguchi, Dr. Jenn Simmons, and Dr. Lindsey Berkson weigh in on one of the most misunderstood topics in women’s health: hormone replacement therapy. They unpack what hormones actually do, why the Women’s Health Initiative study created decades of fear and confusion, and how progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone impact bone health, metabolism, and overall quality of life.

This conversation moves past fear-based headlines to look at what really influences breast cancer risk, including metabolic health and lifestyle factors. These doctors discuss why hormone therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, when bioidentical hormones can be safe and effective, and why women deserve informed, individualized care... especially during menopause or after a breast cancer diagnosis.

Diet culture has been messing with women’s heads for decades, and midlife only makes the noise louder.

In this honest, eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Natalie Jill to cut through the chaos of modern weight-loss advice and talk about why so many women feel confused, frustrated, and stuck despite “doing everything right.”

We unpack where dieting went off the rails, why today’s nutrition trends feel so contradictory, and why defining your personal health goals matters far more than chasing the latest plan or protocol.

We also get real about vegetables, carbs, and common protein myths, along with the overlooked impact stimulants can have on metabolism and hormones. And yes, we dive into the rise of GLP medications for weight loss, what women actually need to understand, what’s often missing from the conversation, and why education and balance matter more than quick fixes.

If you’re tired of extremes, mixed messages, and one-size-fits-all advice, this conversation is for you. It’s about clarity, perspective, and getting back to what actually supports long-term health.
