Summary
Ep | 356
Feeling off but your doctor says your labs are “normal”? This episode breaks down the often-overlooked world of thyroid dysfunction and why so many people (especially women!) are walking around with symptoms they can’t explain. Erin dives deep into what’s really going on with your thyroid, the symptoms that often get brushed off, and why the conventional model of care may not be giving you the full picture.
From stress and nutrient depletion to liver health, toxins, and hormone imbalances, Erin explains the root causes that could be holding your thyroid hostage and what to do about it.
You’ll learn what a full thyroid panel should include, why postpartum women are particularly vulnerable, and how a whole-body, functional approach (including energy medicine) is often the missing piece in healing.
In This Episode:
- (01:20) Why there is so much misinformation right now around female hormones
- (05:55) The most common symptoms of hypothyroidism
- (15:20) T3 is the key in thyroid health and it often goes untested!
- (22:08) How other hormones impact thyroid health and the importance of a comprehensive hormone analysis
- (31:25) The energy anatomy of the thyroid and the throat chakra connection

| 0:00.0 | You really should be thinking about your thyroid health because thyroid issues are very common. |
| 0:06.5 | An estimated 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease. So that's a lot of people. |
| 0:11.7 | Up to 60% are unaware of their condition. So a lot of people are walking around with thyroid |
| 0:17.8 | dysfunction and don't even know it. They're just like, I feel bad, |
| 0:20.9 | but I don't know why. And why it's really important to know if you've got thyroid stuff going on |
| 0:26.4 | is because it can influence so much in your body. I'm Aaron Holt, and this is the Functional Nutrition |
| 0:33.0 | podcast where we lean into intuitive functional medicine. We look at how diet, our environment, |
| 0:39.1 | our emotions, and our beliefs all affect our physical health. I've got over a decade of clinical |
| 0:44.5 | experience and because of that, I've got a major bone to pick with diet culture and the conventional |
| 0:49.4 | health care model. This show is for you if you're looking for new ways of thinking about your |
| 0:54.0 | health and you're ready to be an of thinking about your health and you're |

| 1:25.0 | with that hot streak, I'm also seeing a lot of really wild information |
| 1:30.0 | being thrown around on social media about female hormones. So I wanted to shine some |
| 1:35.6 | clinical perspective on this for you, my dear listeners. And that's why we're talking about them |
| 1:40.6 | so much lately. I want to share the perspective of somebody who has been working |
| 1:46.8 | with women and their hormones for a lot of years and really share the most important stuff |
