And that is what I talk about in a thyroid fix. Welcome to the Thyroid and Hormone Fixer podcast.

Of course, the last one in the series is how to fix your thyroid. Because isn't that what we all want? Isn't that what the thyroid fix is about? The book that is releasing today, May 12th. So you're gonna wanna go out and get a copy. Go to ThyroidFixbook.com or Amazon or Barnes and Noble or Target and get Your copy today. This is going to be. This is really going to revolutionize women's health because as I've stated over and over again, we have abundant books on perimenopause and menopause, and that's fantastic. I just recently interviewed a couple ladies that have books coming out right now as we speak on perimenopause and menopause. However, we are missing the biggest piece of the puzzle. There is the thyroid. The master gland. The master controller from head to toe. It runs the show. If you do not fix your thyroid first, your GLPs won't work, your bioidentical hormones won't perform like they should. All of the gut healing protocols, the detox remedies that you're tossing at yourself, all the supplements won't work because your master switches off. You know, it's like I'm recording this from a hotel room, right? And over on the wall it literally says master switch. And unless that switch is on, all these other lights around the room, all the other switches don't work. They actually don't turn on a light unless that master switch is on. That is your thyroid. That is your thyroid. Having control over your glucose, over your insulin, over your testosterone, your estrogen, your progesterone, your cortisol, the thyroid has the final say. So all of your efforts could be for naught. In fact, you could be wasting boatloads of money on GLPs, on supplements, on protocols, on integrative and functional wellness physicians that you're hoping will have the answer because they got functional in the title. Meanwhile, there's a jack of all trades, master of none. You have to fix your thyroid. In this episode, I'm going to give you the highlights of my new book, the Thyroid Fix and what you need to do. And I'm also going to tell you a little bit more about the book because there's nothing out there like it. Listen, when I went to write the Thyroid Fix, I knew that there were other thyroid books out there, but I also knew what was in them and I knew what was missing and I knew that we needed to get away from these promises of fairy dust sprinkling and magically improving your thyroid. Or all we have to do is do this gut healing protocol or this detox, or the adrenal protocol and your thyroid will be fine. All you have to do is take these multi level marketing products and you'll be fine. And it's so much more complex, but yet simple at the same time. Here's what we really need to do. Okay, first we need to look at the host of symptoms that you're dealing with. Now, I'm just going to read some off to you. I want you to listen and just kind of mentally take note. Now, I have a full self assessment in the book, but we're going to mentally take a note here. Okay, you ready? And just you start counting on your fingers. Right? Hair loss, weight gain, weight loss, resistance. We talked about that in a previous episode. When you're doing all the things and nothing is working to take the weight off, it just keeps coming on. Fatigue, constipation, loss of the outer corners of your eyebrows. Obviously, hair loss, hair thinning, I said that in the beginning. But hair breaking off, that's very common as well. Bloating, like you're nine months pregnant. Bloating, hurt, palpitations, low heart rate, low body temperature. You are cold when everybody else is normal, or you're hot when everyone else is comfortable. Frozen shoulder muscle pain, joint pain, low libido, sleep issues. These are just some. These are just some of the hypothyroid symptoms that you may or may not have. If you have more than three, you have hypothyroidism. Congratulations. Now, of hypothyroidism, low and slow thyroid function, we know that 95% is autoimmune. What triggers an autoimmune condition? Well, ladies, if you're listening to this, and all of those symptoms came on after pregnancy, it was pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations. If all of those symptoms came on after the age of 40, congratulations, you're in. Thyro pause. And we talk about that in the book as well. Thyros is when your thyro gland shits the bed after the age of 40 due to fluctuating hormones. Those fluctuations and hormones are going to trigger a thyroid problem. It's going to turn that switch from the opposition to the opposition. So we start with symptoms, right? So if you listen to me, check, check, check. Yes, I have three or more symptoms. Okay, now we move on to testing. Now we have to test. Don't guess. Now, I am simplifying big time. I mean, listen, the amount of information in this book, and I joke, you know, it's not. Well, I joke, but I'm serious. It's not a diet book. It's not a recipe book. It's not a workout book. It's not a how to heal your thyroid naturally book. We've been there, done that. We have enough of them. It's not overly clinical where it's written by this high fluten doctor. I'm not high. Fluten. Why is it does nothing but clinical speak where you can't understand exactly what they're saying, you know? And then we have Antonio Bianco, who I did interview on the show for his book. But damn, I mean, if you didn't catch my podcast where I broke down his interview with Peter Ratia, I don't know what this dude is saying. I don't know if he's on our side or on conventional medicine side. It's. It's so split down the middle. It's all over the place. So we don't really know for sure. I wanted to write a book that was like you and I sitting down for coffee. Like, I'm your best friend, but, you know, your best friend just happens to be a thyroid expert, too. Bonus for you. And I wanted to be able to walk you through, step by step, everything that you need to do to fix your thyroid. And listen, even if you're listening to this and you're like, I don't know, but I have a thyroid problem. Well, good. Okay, we're going to figure that out together, too. Start with that assessment. Start with just again, mentally counting or counting on your fingers the old school way. How many of those symptoms that I said do you have right now? So that alone gives you direction. Okay, then we have to move on to testing. Now, of course, you all know that I love hormones. I love me some hormones. But in the thyroid fix, I really wanted to focus on the thyroid. Yes. We bring in hormones, we bring in menopause, we bring in thyropause, we bring in cortisol, we talk about insulin, because all those play a role, and all of the hormones play together with the thyroid. They all play together. It's like one big sandbox. But when we're looking at testing the thyroid, that's really what I wanted to focus on and really break it down. When we look at testing the thyroid, it has to be thorough. And, you know, it's. I will admit something to you, full disclosure on the show. It's a downfall of mine that I tend to think because I have talked about something for so long over and over again, I have this tendency to think like, well, y' all know this, right? Y' all have heard me say that again over and over, over, over, over. But there are new people being diagnosed every day. There are new ladies out there, and they may be your friends, they may be your neighbor, they might be your daughter or your sister coming to you saying, now you listen to me. So, you know, but what about the other ladies, they're coming to you saying, hey, Sally, I want to talk to you. That's kind of personal. You know, I just, I don't know what's going on with my body here. Like, I guess it could be perimenopause or menopause, but there's some wild going on. You know, my, my, my weight's just going up. I don't know what the heck. I'm tired all the time. I'm drinking more Red Bulls than ever before, and I don't even like Red Bull. And what about the hair? My hair? Like, do you have a good hairdresser? What do you do for your hair? Oh, are those extensions? Isn't there some serum I can get? And the symptoms are there, but these people, men and women, it's mainly ladies, but men and women, these people are being dismissed every single day by their doctor, by their conventional doctor. And that's such a disservice to you. It's such a disservice to them. So that's another reason why I wrote the Thyroid Fix. Because it totally brings in and loves on those who don't even know if they have a thyroid problem, those who have been told, no, your thyroid is normal. Everything is fine. I need to talk to every woman who's been told that your labs are normal while your body is screaming at you and rebelling against you. Fatigue, brain fog, the weight that will not come off, mood swings, hair loss, feeling dismissed, frustrated and confused. I get it. And that is exactly why I wrote my new book, the Thyroid Fix. The no nonsense Guide to Fix fatigue, fogginess, and Fat that won't budge. That just says it all. And it is now available for pre sale. So I need your help to spread the message. I am giving you an ask as my listener and a promise at the same time. If you pre order the thyroid fix, my promise to you is to continue delivering all kinds of free advice, information, content, education, empowerment, because that's what I love to do, whether it's here in the Just Fixture Thyroid Facebook group or I'm on live. I will give you everything I possibly can if you do me one favor, which will be a favor for yourself as well. And pre order the thyroid fix. Now, this book is not another list of supplements, vague advice. It's not a diet plan. It's not filled with recipes. It is a clear, honest guide. It is the thyroid Bible. It is the last thyroid book that you will ever need because it teaches you how to read your own labs. No other book has done that. It teaches you what medication and dose you need. No other book has ever done that. It will help you to understand why you are being misdiagnosed, why you're being under treated and why you can't talk about hormones, weight loss or menopause without talking about the thyroid. I called it Thyroid Bible because like I said, this is going to be the thyroid book of the next few decades. When you pre order, you're not just supporting me, you're telling the publisher this message matters and it needs to get out to the world and it needs to get into the hands of women who have been ignored for far too long. So will you go to thyroid fixbook.com and pre order a copy of yours today? It'll be shipped to you on May 12th and you will get free entry to our all day live event where I will be there answering your questions live, teaching live, and bringing in amazing guests for you to also connect with and ask your questions too. So thyroid fixbook.com pre order yours today. I actually before recording this, I got off an interview with Ian Suplee. I don't know if you know him, we pro, you know him if you don't know the name. So he has an incredible podcast called American Gluttony and it's all about weight and weight loss and he's a Hollywood actor. I mean you've seen him in American History X. Remember the Titans. My name is Earl Wolf of Wall Street. Love this guy. Well, he's very open about, you know, losing, gosh, what was it, over 200, 300 pounds? 300 pounds maybe over the course of his career. And we were talking and I was asking him because I, I do want to see his labs so I'm gonna get him to send them to me. But he said, yeah, my thought, I prayed for a thyroid problem before. I prayed that it was my thyroid, but I was told that it was normal. And then through the course of the conversation we figured out that yeah, your doctor tested one lab marker too, just like all the rest of them do and he didn't know. So here we have a Hollywood actor who you would think would have access to the best of the best care. Top level docs, right? Top level functional medicine, top level. And yet in his recollection he's like, yeah, I'm pretty sure it was only one test. And then I saw another guy, maybe he did like two tests, but he's like, I, I, I don't know. He's like, I was told I was normal. I'm like, Ethan, I bet money that you have a thyroid problem, and we're going to find out. So the thyroid fix is also for every single person in your life who has those symptoms, who you have heard complain about those symptoms, and they just don't know what's going on. They're being medically gaslit. They're being told they're normal. Maybe it's you. You're being medically gaslit, you're being told you're normal. Everything is fine. Nothing to see here. Just eat less and exercise more. And that's simply not the case because our symptoms point us in a direction. Our symptoms give us an A to B linear line where we go, okay, because of these symptoms, we are going to check these markers. And then when we check those markers, oh, by the way, we're also going to look at them from an optimal lens. And not just a normal lens. Normal setting on the dryer. Remember that if your doctor says you're normal, just tell them that's a setting on the dryer. I don't ever want normal to explain me and my body chemistry and my labs. But we go through your labs together in the book and we look at them from that optimal standpoint. Are they optimal? So let's just take a hypothetical, because I give scenarios in the book as well. I built the book to be like one of those, choose your own adventure books. Remember those from back in the day where if this, then this. Well, same thing. If you have symptoms and we test and your lab say this, well, then let's go to the next column and say, okay, are you on thyroid medication? So if you're on thyroid medication, let's say you're on T4. T4 only, which we know doesn't work. Then let's look at your reverse T3. Oh, your reverse T3 is a 20. Okay, then we're going to go over here and do this with your thyroid medication, or you are going to request that your doctor do this with your thyroid medication based on what you've learned. Based on that, step by step by step process, free T3 is low, reverse T3 is high. Go here. Free T3 is low, reverse E3 is high. I'm on 25 micrograms of Synthroid. Go here. I'm on 100 micrograms of Synthroid. Go here. This is what you need in order to properly fix your thyroid. So when you saw the title of the podcast, did you think that I was going to give you a how to fix your thyroid naturally, like all you have to do is take vitamin D and selenium, some magnesium and do a rain dance every day and praise the sun and ground and get good sleep and you'll be fine. I'm like, no freaking no. I'll tell you what, you tell that to a person who has just put on 45 pounds and is going bald, they're gonna punch you in the face like that's the last thing they need. You know, I joke in the book, we don't need another green smoothie, right? Yeah, we don't as thyroid patients, we don't need another adrenal healing protocol, we don't want to drink another kombucha, we don't want to drink another cup of bone freaking broth, okay? We want something that's going to get us out of this hole, that's going to get the weight off, that's going to give us our life back maybe and something that is actually going to work. And that is what I talk about in a thyroid fix. So when we're talking about thyroid hormone replacement, you have to be open minded. Now if you're on thyroid hormone replacement right now, it's even more important for you to be open minded because you might need a change up. I don't know if you've seen a couple of the posts I've done or the last episode, well, many, many episodes ago where I talk about teeth or only contributing to cancer. And it's not that the medication itself causes cancer or is carcinogenic, it's that T4 only will down regulate your immune system. T4 only is not going to get you optimized. It won't, it won't, it won't. So when you're taking Synthroid or Levo and that's all and you're not properly testing or you're not looking at your reverse T3 from an optimal lens, you're just seeing if it's in the normal range. You're looking at your free T3 in the normal range, not from an optimal lens, then yeah, yeah, you're gonna suffer. You are absolutely going to stay stuck. And longevity wise, you are at an increased risk of all cause mortality, type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes, rather heart disease, high cholesterol, fatty liver, Alzheimer's, dementia and cancer. So if the weight and the hair loss doesn't wake you up, doesn't slap you in the face, then maybe the fear of Alzheimer's and cancer will, maybe that will light the fire under your ass to finally affect your thyroid, to get properly tested, to properly Treat. But when we think about hormone replacement. This is where I'm going with it. When we think about hormone replacement, we have to think about it from exactly that standpoint. Hormone replacement. We're replacing hormones that your body is no longer making. Yes. I know, you know, some of you out there, like, I want to do it naturally. Okay, well, then give it a try. And I'll see in six months when you're 10 pounds heavier. Like, I mean, listen, if you're in your 20s, and we talk about this in the book too, if you're in your 20s and you're catching this really early, really early, like, you just started showing signs of Hashimoto's. Antibodies are just kind of popping up right now. We gain under five pounds. You're not that tired. You're fine. You can get through the day. Okay, well, then we can add on some Hashimoto support by the fixer, black cumin C. That's going to lower antibodies. We can give you a little bit of T2, give you some thyroid fixer. That's going to help with conversion, the L tyrosine, and it's going to help produce more. Help your thyroid gland produce more T4 and T3. The T2 in it will help convert T4 to T3. Yeah, we could totally do it supplementally, make sure you're taking magnesium, all that fun stuff. But if you're far down that path and you've been dismissed and you've been told that you're normal and everything is fine and you're still suffering with the symptoms, then it's time to step up. It's time to wake up and step up and do things that are actually going to fix your thyroid. And yeah, that might mean thyroid hormone replacement, but when it's done properly, in the right ratio, in the right amount to optimize you, you're gonna be like, oh, why did I have this mental block to this beautiful hormone or these beautiful hormones before? Why did I think it was bad? Why did I try to do this naturally? Why was I spinning my wheels? My God, it's like a hamster just going around and around. Yes. I promise you that when it's done correctly and when you actually fix your thyroid the right way, personalized to you, it works. And you will never, ever say to me again, ah, I just don't want this thyroid medication, these thyroid hormones. I don't want that little orange bottle sitting on my bathroom counter. I want to do it. Oh, natural. Now. You're not going to say that anymore. I promise. You that when you get your life back, you're gonna be like, yeah, you're gonna have to pry these thyroid hormones out of my dead, cold hands. That's what I always say. Like, the last day of my thyroid hormone replacement will be the day I go in the grave. Same with hormones. Same with bioidentical hormones. Now, do I also talk in the book A about ways to eat, about supplementation to support your thyroid, about working out? What about GLPs and biohacks? Yes, yes, that all comes into play. I wanted this to be. And it is the thyroid Bible. It is the last thyroid book you will ever need. You're not going to need five of them on your shelves anymore, just one. Because it goes over everything. So, yes, we absolutely talk about diet, lifestyle, peptides, biohacks. Yes. But I'm also honest with you, and I never try to sell you a bag of horseshit that just changing your diet, taking supplements and doing some biohacks like standing in front of a red light or putting a red light on your neck is going to improve your thyroid function to the point where you're not going to need thyroid hormone replacement. I'm not. Ever. I will never, I promise you this. Ever, ever. Bullshit you. It's not going to happen. I love you too much for that. We'll never bullshit you. So grab your copy of the Thyroid fix today because we can fix your thyroid together. It's going to take that assessment, testing, figuring out the thyroid hormone replacement. If you're on right now, you're probably not on the right kind of. You're not on the right combination, you're not on the right dose for you. You might have too much T4 in the mix. You might not have any T3 in the mix. You might be on natural desiccated thyroid medication and it's causing an autoimmune flare. How about that? Just because it has the word natural in the title doesn't mean it's the best for you. You might be working with a doctor that has a cap on T3, and you're only getting 10 micrograms twice a day. And that's it. This is going to open your eyes on so many different levels, is going to shed so much light on your current situation and your symptoms. It is going to light up your brain and it is going to make the buttholes of many a doctor pucker because they're not going to believe their minds are going to explode. They're not going to believe that I actually talk about medication. They don't believe that you are smart enough to learn what your body needs. Do you know that? Do you realize that your doctor thinks that you are a dipshit and that there's no way that you can possibly even know what thyroid hormone, let alone the dose that you could possibly know what dose you need? But I am here to tell you that I can teach you that, and I do. In the Thyroid Fix, you're going to be the most powerful patient to walk this planet. After you read this book, you are going to have power coming out of your fingertips and you will never, ever, from this point on, ever be a victim of medical gaslighting again. Whether it's thyroid hormones or catastrophic disease that you encounter down the road, this book will empower you because it starts with a thyroid. It starts with empowering you. There's and then you are going to be that badass human that you're meant to be in all areas of your life. And you will see your relationships improve, your marriage improve, your work productivity improve. You're going to see your bank account go up, I promise you. So yeah, a $30 book or whatever it is on audible, 17 bucks, whatever. One credit will literally put more money in your bank account.
