You’ll hear us dive into the power of mindful eating, recognizing the signals your body sends, and why it’s essential to address the root causes behind emotional eating.

In this episode, I dive deep into the crucial relationship between levothyroxine—a common medication for hypothyroidism—and magnesium and iron supplements. You'll learn how taking these supplements too close to your medication can interfere with absorption, potentially leading to deficiencies. I emphasize the importance of addressing hypothyroidism holistically by focusing on gut health, nutrient-dense foods, and the right food combinations.

I also share practical tips on how to naturally boost your magnesium and iron levels through food, along with the best timing to take supplements—waiting four to six hours after levothyroxine. Additionally, I explore the impact of a diverse diet on thyroid health and your gut microbiome, encouraging you to prioritize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fermented foods while minimizing ultra-processed options.

Throughout our conversation, I highlight the significance of probiotics, prebiotics, and fiber-rich foods in supporting gut health. Managing stress, getting quality sleep, and practicing self-care are also key elements I discuss for maintaining overall well-being. By the end of this episode, I hope to inspire you to prioritize your health and never give up on your journey to wellness. Have we connected on Instagram yet?

You know that feeling when you’re just not feeling right, but your lab results come back saying everything’s "normal"? Yeah, that’s frustrating, right? Well, I get into that in our chat. The problem isn’t you—it’s the scale Western medicine uses, which is really only based on the average white male American. Seriously, where does that leave the rest of us?

I also dive into some common symptoms like PCOS, psoriasis, and insomnia—not as diagnoses but as little red flags waving at us, saying, "Hey, there’s something off here!" The key is to dig deeper and figure out what’s really going on. That’s where the magic of focusing on root causes comes in, and let me tell you, understanding how nutrition, the right ratios, and supplements can work together is a game-changer for your health.

And here’s the cool part—I also talk about how Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) can be your secret weapon. It’s all about spotting those hidden imbalances and crafting a healing plan that’s totally personalized to you. Because let’s be real, one size definitely doesn’t fit all when it comes to health!
