Description

Hey friend, 




Have you ever been told your thyroid is “fine” even though you still feel awful?


Could fatigue, brain fog, or weight struggles be linked to labs that aren’t showing the whole picture?


What if “normal” isn’t really optimal?




In this episode, I’m wrapping up my 3-part series on the shifts that helped me finally feel better. Today’s focus is the thyroid — and why being told “your labs are normal” isn’t always the full story.


I’ll share my own journey of years of dismissal, what happened when I finally got a full thyroid panel, and the difference between normal and optimal ranges. You’ll learn which labs to ask for, why Free T3 and antibodies matter, and how to advocate for yourself when you’re not being heard.


If you’re still exhausted and struggling with brain fog despite being told everything is fine, this episode will help you take the next step.
