The Thyroid Fixer

What if the real reason you’re exhausted, wired, gaining weight, and feeling hormonally off… has nothing to do with your labs and everything to do with how you’re sleeping?

In this bonus episode, I sit down with triple board-certified sleep expert Dr. Meredith Broderick to unpack what’s really happening in your body when sleep is disrupted. We go far beyond the usual “just get 8 hours” advice and dive into how sleep impacts insulin resistance, cravings, stress physiology, midlife hormone shifts, brain detoxification, and even your emotional resilience. We talk about the science of circadian rhythms, why poor REM sleep can dysregulate blood sugar in days, and how sleep anxiety itself is becoming one of the biggest modern sleep disruptors.

What you’ll learn:


Why sleep may not be the “foundation” of health in the way you’ve been told


What actually happens to insulin, cravings, and metabolism after disrupted REM sleep


The hidden reason your mind races at night (and what your brain is trying to do)


How constant phone use may be sabotaging your ability to fall asleep

If sleep has felt like a lifelong battle for you, or if you know it’s the missing piece in your thyroid, hormone, or metabolic healing journey, this episode is your invitation to rethink everything. Tune in, listen closely, and start creating a sleep routine that works with your biology instead of against it. Your hormones, your brain, and your future self will thank you.

Have we overcomplicated health so much that we’ve forgotten what it actually means to nourish our bodies?

In this episode, I sit down with celebrity chef and Pluck founder, James Barry, to have a real conversation about what’s happened in the health world over the last decade. We talk about how we drifted from ancestral principles and whole, real food into biohacking gadgets, GLP-1 trends, expensive supplements, and endless noise. James brings us back to the foundations: sleep, movement, stress, and most importantly, food that your body actually recognizes. We unpack the idea that you cannot escape your humanity, that the Homo sapien body hasn’t changed in hundreds of thousands of years, and that maybe the problem isn’t that we need more hacks. Maybe we need more reverence.

We also dive deep into organ meats, nutrient density, and why flavor used to equal nutrition!

What you’ll learn:


Why you truly cannot out-supplement or out-biohack poor foundations


The ancestral principle that quietly governs appetite, satisfaction, and weight


What modern processed foods are doing to your internal signaling system


The overlooked reason organ meats were once considered sacred


Why thinking about vitamins may be keeping you disconnected from your body


The simple shift that makes digestion, satiety, and clarity easier

I want you to take one small step today: Choose one meal where you slow down, remove distractions, and eat real food that your body recognizes. Then share this episode with someone who feels overwhelmed by all the health noise right now. The more we simplify, the more we rise. And as always, if this conversation spoke to you, leave a review and let me know what hit home.

Your labs can look perfect on paper while your cells are quietly starving for thyroid action, and that disconnect is where most thyroid stories fall apart.

In this episode, I’m diving into something we have not talked about yet on the Thyroid Fixer Podcast: T2 tissue thyroid signaling and why it may be the missing piece for so many people who still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, and stuck despite being told their thyroid is “normal.” I break down how thyroid hormones actually work at the cellular and mitochondrial level, why bloodwork alone cannot explain your symptoms, and how T2 can mimic many of T3’s metabolic effects without raising blood T3. If you have been denied T3, cannot tolerate it, or feel like your metabolism is permanently stalled, this episode will completely shift how you understand thyroid function.

We go deeper into thyroid receptors, deiodinase enzymes, reverse T3, and why two people with identical labs can feel completely different in their bodies. I also explain why T2 has such a powerful impact on fat burning, energy, liver health, cholesterol, and mitochondrial output, and why focusing on tissue level signaling instead of chasing lab numbers is often the turning point. This conversation moves beyond “your labs are fine” and finally addresses what is happening where thyroid hormones actually do their job.

What you’ll learn:


Why thyroid hormones do not work in your blood and where real thyroid action happens


How T2 can drive metabolism without overstimulating your heart


The enzyme imbalance that quietly stalls fat loss and energy


Why reverse T3 is a survival signal and not a meaningless lab value


How stress and chronic dieting shut down thyroid signalingThe connection between mitochondrial health and stubborn hypothyroid symptoms


Why thyroid optimization requires more than staying in range

If this episode feels like it is describing your body, do not ignore that. Thyroid optimization is nuanced, layered, and personal, and you deserve more than dismissal and recycled advice. Listen all the way through, let the science click, and start viewing your thyroid through a cellular lens. Make sure you are subscribed, share this episode with someone who has been told they are fine but knows they are not, and come join me inside the Thyroid Fixer community. This is where clarity begins.

If you are doing “everything right” for your thyroid and still feel exhausted, inflamed, or stuck, this episode might completely reframe what you think is going on. In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Amy Myers, one of the most respected voices in functional thyroid and autoimmune health, to unpack the real reasons so many people fail to improve despite clean diets, supplements, and medication. We talk candidly about why thyroid healing is not just about what you eat or what you take, but what your body can actually digest, absorb, and convert.

Together, we dive into the controversial and urgent topics most doctors still avoid. From the FDA threat to desiccated thyroid hormone, to the realities of T4-only treatment after thyroid removal, to the overlooked role of gut infections, low stomach acid, iodine confusion, and nutrient deficiencies. Dr. Myers shares both her clinical perspective and her personal story of living without a thyroid, explaining what she has seen work, what causes harm, and where patients are being failed by outdated systems. This is a grounded, nuanced conversation meant to help you ask better questions and understand your body more clearly.

What you’ll learn:


Why a perfect diet can still leave you depleted


The quiet reason thyroid hormones often fail to work


What really breaks T4 to T3 conversion


How gut infections quietly sabotage healing


The misunderstood role of stomach acid in autoimmunity


Why iodine became so controversial and where the truth actually lives


When “normal labs” mean very little


The missing link between digestion and hormone signaling

I encourage you to listen all the way through and take notes on what feels familiar in your own journey. This is not about quick fixes or fear-based health advice, it is about understanding the foundations so you can advocate for yourself with confidence.

If you’re confused, frustrated, or quietly side-eyeing everything you’re seeing online about peptides and GLPs right now, this episode is about to change how you see the entire conversation. I sat down again with one of my favorite no-BS voices in the biohacking, longevity, and metabolic space, Jay Campbell, to unpack what’s really happening behind the scenes, why misinformation is exploding, and how people are getting pulled into dangerous rabbit holes without even realizing it.

We talk candidly about peptides, GLPs, and why the way they’re being talked about online is wildly misleading, Big Pharma’s growing grip on the market, and what that means for real humans who’ve finally found relief from food noise, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic weight struggles. This conversation goes far beyond trends and headlines. It is about access, education, ethics, and the uncomfortable truths no one on Instagram wants to say out loud. If you’ve ever wondered who to trust, what’s hype versus helpful, or why the system feels so broken, this one is for you.

What you’ll learn:


Why the peptide and GLP conversation online is more chaotic and risky than most people realize


The real reason Big Pharma is cracking down right now and who it affects most


How misinformation is spreading faster than education in the longevity space


What most people don’t understand about dosing, microdosing, and long-term metabolic impact


Why some people thrive using these tools while others end up worse off


The hidden dangers of cheap, underground, or influencer-backed peptide sources


What ethical, informed use actually looks like in a world full of shortcuts

If this episode made you think differently, challenged what you’ve been told, or helped you connect a few dots, make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss what’s coming next.
