Hello friends!
We’re streaming new podcast episodes live. Today we’re talking about thyroid health, hormones, and why so many women are told they’re “okay” when they absolutely aren’t.
I’m talking with my friend Ashley Cruz-Arata, a certified integrative health practitioner and hormone specialist. For years, she was dismissed by doctors as saying everything was fine because “all the labs were normal.” During that time, she gained 35 pounds, suffered from unrelenting joint pain, brain fog, and extreme fatigue. She ultimately cured herself and now helps high-achieving women over 35 get the real answers their doctors were missing. I think you’ll definitely like her.
Check out what we chat about:
Why traditional thyroid tests only look at two markers, and why that’s a big problem for millions of women Which tests you should actually order, including free T3, reverse T3, TPO antibodies, cortisol, sex hormones, and more Why intermittent fasting and increased aerobic activity can significantly worsen thyroid dysfunction The truth about thyroid medications and why taking them isn’t the end of the world Supporting your thyroid and your thyroid gland 2 1 Free and Easy At-Home Habits for Your Daily Cortisol Rhythm The Pre-Coffee Protein Habit That Will Completely Change Your Day How Stress Quietly Disrupts Your Hormones and Ashley’s Sunday Night Habit to Manage Stress Without Adding It to Your Diet
There are many others!!
