Summary

Happy Tuesday Heal Squad! Today we are welcoming back functional medicine physician Dr. Amy Myers for an incredible 2 part interview that will leave you ready to take charge of your health once and for all. In this episode, Dr. Amy Myers delves into a range of important health topics that disproportionately affect women. From the often-overlooked link between thyroid issues and digestive problems like SIBO to the hormonal shifts of perimenopause that can trigger autoimmune conditions, Dr. Myers shares crucial insights into our medical system. She also emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy, pointing out how doctors may mistakenly dismiss women's symptoms, and provides guidance on navigating tricky imaging tests like mammograms, MRIs, and alternatives that expose patients to less radiation. Trust us when we say, you will leave our conversation with a deeper understanding of how to take a proactive, comprehensive approach to your health and wellbeing. Healers and Heal Liners: One of the main causes for more autoimmunity in women than men is due to fluctuations in their hormones - specifically with estrogen. If you have one autoimmune condition you are three times more likely to get another one. Having one mammogram gives the radiation equivalent of 100 X-rays. Melatonin at low doses makes you tired, but at high doses can prevent metastasis and inflammation. A few alternatives to mammograms include Thermograms, QT scans, and blood tests to check for circulating tumor cells.
