Lizzie Ens Show

Peptides for beginners starts with one simple truth: not all peptides are GLP-1s, and your body already makes its own natural peptides. If you keep seeing peptides all over your feed and you still don’t know what they are, what they do, or whether they are safe, you are not alone. Here’s the thing. Jumping in without the right education, the right provider, or the basics in place can waste your money and cause real damage inside your body.Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, gets real about the peptides that made the biggest difference in her own health, all used under the guidance of her doctor, Dr. Sabrina Solt. You will hear how an eight-week cycle of thymosin alpha 1 brought her Hashimoto’s antibodies, once over 300, down close to remission, and how pairing BPC-157 and TB-500 with KPV calmed her gut inflammation within two days. Lizzie also breaks down oral peptides versus injections, why cycling matters, why she will never hand out dosages in her DMs, and why growth hormone peptides fall flat when cortisol and thyroid issues go unaddressed. If you want peptides to be the cherry on top and not a shortcut, start here.In this episode, you’ll learn:What peptides for beginners really means, including why not all peptides are GLP-1s and how your body already makes natural peptides that these simply build on.Why oral peptides and injections both have a place, and why BPC-157 as a capsule can be a strong option if you hate needles and deal with gut or joint issues.How an eight-week cycle of thymosin alpha 1, an immune modulator, helped bring Lizzie’s Hashimoto’s antibodies down from over 300 to near remission, with her doctor guiding every step.Why pairing BPC-157 and TB-500 with KPV for leaky gut led to looser rings and less lower belly inflammation within two days, plus how KPV calms luteal phase histamine reactions.Where to find trusted peptides for beginners education, including Dr. Sabrina Solt’s peptide course, and why cycling on and off matters more than most people realize.Why growth hormone peptides and GLP-1s become a waste of time and money when high cortisol, thyroid issues, poor sleep, and nutrient deficiencies are still running the show.We talk about:00:00 Peptides for beginners and what peptides actually are00:49 Oral peptides vs injections, which one should you choose01:29 BPC-157 capsules for gut, joints, and muscle soreness02:15 How peptides lowered Lizzie’s inflammation and high cortisol04:00 Can thymosin alpha 1 lower Hashimoto’s antibodies05:01 Why Lizzie will never give you peptide dosages06:00 BPC-157 and TB-500 for muscles, joints, and gut07:38 KPV for leaky gut and a high zonulin result09:41 How KPV calms histamine reactions in your luteal phase10:33 Are all peptides GLP-1s or something different11:00 Do the basics before you ever start peptides12:00 Why peptides fail when cortisol and thyroid are offReady to stop guessing and start healing at the root?

What causes Hashimoto's? Hashimoto's is an autoimmune condition where your immune system attacks your thyroid, and one of the most overlooked root causes is trauma you never got to speak about. If you feel exhausted all the time, your hair is thinning, foods that never bothered you now do, or you ride a roller coaster of good days and crash days, your thyroid antibodies could be the reason. Here's the thing: most doctors only check your TSH and maybe your free T4. They skip your antibodies, so you end up guessing instead of testing.On this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, gets real about her own experience with Hashimoto's and what she sees again and again with her clients. You'll learn why your immune system gets confused and starts attacking your thyroid, how unspoken trauma and abuse keep your nervous system under attack, and how much family history plays a role. Lizzie walks you through the Hashimoto's symptoms she watches for, why gluten and raw vegetables can flare you up, and how the peptide thymosin alpha 1 took her antibodies from around 300 down to close to reversal. You'll also hear why she never says "I have Hashimoto's," and why the words you use about your body matter for healing from the inside out. Test, don't guess, and start using your voice.In this episode, you’ll learn:What causes Hashimoto's, and why Lizzie sees trauma, abuse, and a suppressed voice as one of the most common root causes, both in her clients and in her own thyroid history.Why most doctors only test your TSH and free T4, and why you need your Hashimoto's antibodies tested to know if you are dealing with hypo, hyper, or autoimmune.How Hashimoto's actually works: your white blood cells mistake your thyroid for a foreign invader and attack it, sometimes leaving the gland with holes or nodules.Whether Hashimoto's can be passed down from your mom or grandma, and why family history does not mean you have to accept the same outcome for your own body.Why Hashimoto's fatigue often shows up as false energy followed by a multi-day crash, and how pacing yourself at events, on vacation, and during busy weeks protects you.How to lower Hashimoto's antibodies with nervous system regulation, daily vitamin C, cutting gluten, cooking your vegetables, and the immune modulator Moducare, plus why you have to troubleshoot.Why Lizzie's antibodies dropped from around 300 to close to reversal on thymosin alpha 1, and why antibody levels swing with stress, travel, and toxic fragrances like dryer sheets.We talk about:00:00 What one thing can lead to an autoimmune condition00:29 Why doctors rarely test your Hashimoto's antibodies02:34 Hashimoto's symptoms and how severe they can get03:18 How your immune system attacks your thyroid04:23 What causes Hashimoto's in the first place05:05 Trauma, abuse, and suppressing your voice05:29 Can Hashimoto's be passed down genetically07:01 How unspoken trauma keeps your nervous system under attack08:26 Hashimoto's exhaustion and the false energy crash11:16 How to bring your Hashimoto's antibodies down13:03 Thymosin alpha 1 and why antibody levels swing14:50 Why your diagnosis does not define youReady to stop guessing and start healing at the root?

Hypothyroidism symptoms with normal labs happen when your thyroid blood work falls inside standard lab ranges but is still far from optimal for your body. You feel exhausted, foggy, cold, and nothing like yourself. Your hair is falling out, your skin is dry, and your voice feels strained by the end of the day. Then your doctor tells you your thyroid is fine. Here's the thing: normal does not mean optimal, and that gap may be exactly why you feel dismissed.On this episode of The Lizzie Ens Show, Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, walks you through the signs of hypothyroidism she sees most often in her clients and lived through herself. Postpartum and breastfeeding, Lizzie assumed her exhaustion was just new mom tiredness until she was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism and a TSH in the 20s. She likes to see TSH between two and three, while standard lab ranges often stretch to five or six. You will learn how TSH, free T3, and free T4 fit together, why you might be colder than everyone around you, how skipping meals slows your metabolism even more, and why magnesium can help with thyroid-related constipation. Lizzie also shares why suppressing your voice and losing touch with your purpose can show up in your thyroid. If your body keeps telling you something is off, it is time to listen from the inside out.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why hypothyroidism symptoms with normal labs are so common, and how standard lab ranges built around what is normal can miss what is actually optimal for your thyroid.What subclinical hypothyroidism means, and why Lizzie's TSH in the 20s was so far above the two to three range she likes to see.How TSH, free T3, and free T4 work together, including why free T3 is the active thyroid hormone that keeps your metabolism, your inner furnace, running warm.The signs of hypothyroidism most women brush off as stress or postpartum, including brain fog, always feeling cold, dry itchy scalp, brittle nails, hair loss, and thinning outer eyebrows.Why a low appetite with hypothyroidism leads so many women to skip meals, and how undereating slows your metabolism and digestion even more, often causing constipation.How a strained voice and achy throat by the end of the day can point to your thyroid, and why suppressing your voice matters for thyroid healing.Why going to bed instead of lounging on the couch supports healing, and how knowing your purpose makes it easier to wake up motivated every morning.We talk about:00:00 Can you have hypothyroidism with normal labs00:38 Postpartum exhaustion that was really my thyroid01:49 Subclinical hypothyroidism and a TSH in the 20s02:35 Why your voice feels strained by the end of the day03:00 Dry skin, brittle nails, and thyroid hair loss03:37 Why normal thyroid labs are not always optimal05:00 Why are you always colder than everyone else05:31 Reading your TSH, free T3, and free T406:57 Low mood, anxiety, and brain fog with hypothyroidism09:00 Skipping meals, slow digestion, and constipation10:41 How suppressing your voice affects your thyroid12:00 Why finding your purpose is part of thyroid healingReady to stop guessing and start healing at the root?

Signs of hyperthyroidism are easy to miss, especially when they show up as heart palpitations, unexplained heat, or exhaustion that will not go away. If your heart has started racing for no clear reason, you feel hot when everyone around you is comfortable, or you wake up from a full night of sleep still tired, an overactive thyroid could be the reason. Hyperthyroidism symptoms get mistaken for anxiety, perimenopause, or plain burnout more often than not, which is almost exactly what happened to Lizzie Ens.Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, walks you through the exact signs of hyperthyroidism she started noticing when her own thyroid swung from subclinical hypothyroidism into hashitoxicosis. Using her real blood work, including a free T3 level of 13 when healthy range tops out around four or five, and her Oura Ring heart rate data, Lizzie breaks down what was actually happening inside her body. You will hear why heart palpitations, feeling hot to the touch, insane nighttime itching, and constant fatigue can all point to an overactive thyroid, plus the theory she has connected it back to something deeper, suppressing your voice. If something in your body feels off and you cannot explain why, this is where you start paying attention.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why heart palpitations that wake you up at night, especially without anxiety, can be one of the clearest signs of hyperthyroidism rather than stress or caffeine.How a simple blood panel revealed Lizzie's free T3 level had climbed to 13, more than double the healthy range, and what that number actually means for your metabolism.What hashitoxicosis is and why a sudden swing from Hashimoto's antibodies into hyperthyroid territory can happen even years after a hypothyroidism diagnosis.Why feeling hot to the touch, insane nighttime itching, and looser stools can all be overactive thyroid symptoms most people never connect to their thyroid at all.How to tell the difference between hyperthyroidism fatigue and normal tiredness, including why a full night of sleep can still leave you feeling like you worked out.Lizzie's theory that hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's are tied to suppressing your voice, and why finally speaking up may have pushed her thyroid the other direction.Why using an Oura Ring to track heart rate and HRV helped Lizzie catch that something was wrong before her symptoms became a bigger problem.We talk about:00:00 Hyperthyroidism versus hypothyroidism and the signs ahead00:24 Why Lizzie is talking about hyperthyroidism from personal experience01:14 What hyperthyroidism actually does to your metabolism03:24 The moment Lizzie knew something was wrong at an event04:29 Getting an EKG after weeks of heart palpitations06:09 Blood work results and a free T3 of 1307:31 What is hashitoxicosis and why her antibodies swung so high08:00 The full list of hyperthyroidism signs to watch for09:00 Why hyperthyroidism can leave you exhausted despite a full night's sleep11:14 Getting a thyroid ultrasound and what it showed13:59 Could suppressing your voice be connected to thyroid imbalance18:38 What to do if you think your thyroid is offReady to stop guessing and start healing at the root?

Still feel fat after losing weight? Lizzie Ens says the scale was never the problem, your relationship with yourself is. If you have done the six-week program, hit your protein goals, or even used a GLP-1 and the number finally moved, but you still see yourself as overweight, not enough, or stuck repeating old patterns, this episode explains why. Self-sabotage after weight loss, body image struggles after a real transformation, and the urge to keep chasing a smaller number all trace back to the same unfinished work: the relationship you have with yourself.Lizzie Ens, functional nutrition coach, business owner, author, and speaker, walks you through why your mind, not your meal plan, decides whether results stick, using a real client story of a postpartum mom who lost almost 30 pounds in Lizzie's six-week Undiet You program and came off her postpartum depression medication for good. You'll hear why a friend who dropped significant weight still saw herself as overweight years later, why growing up Amish taught Lizzie that shame and true freedom cannot coexist, and why the only thing actually holding you back from the body and life you want is you. If you are ready to stop settling for mediocre, this is where you begin.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why losing weight on a GLP-1 or any plan does not fix a bad relationship with yourself, and why the number on the scale can drop while your self-image stays exactly the same.How to tell if your identity is still attached to your old body, using the real story of a friend who lost significant weight but still saw himself as overweight.Why your relationship with yourself, not your food or your workouts, decides whether weight loss actually sticks or whether you end up right back where you started.A real client story of a postpartum mom who lost almost 30 pounds in the six-week Undiet You program and came off her postpartum depression medication for good.How growing up Amish, wearing shame around every emotion, and eventually leaving the religion taught Lizzie what true freedom actually requires.Why the excuse that you do not have time for your health is really a decision, and what to do instead if money or time feel like the real obstacle.Why the only thing actually holding you back from the body and life you want is yourself, and how to finally stop settling for mediocre.We talk about:00:00 Why so many people stay stuck and never take control of their health01:41 Why most people resist changing even when they are miserable03:24 Inside the six week Undiet You program and how to still join04:13 A client's nearly 30 pound postpartum transformation08:05 Growing up Amish and why nothing today compares to the farm10:11 How your 30s set the stage for your 40s and 50s11:10 What is your mind really telling you13:46 Why your relationship with yourself is the most important one14:46 Why you can lose weight on a GLP-1 and still feel broken16:21 Growing up in shame around every emotion in the Amish community19:07 What is really holding you back from true freedom22:42 Why the only thing stopping you is youReady to stop guessing and start healing at the root?
