Summary

There is an absolute epidemic of people struggling with thyroid problems, yet it's a quite story that most people never talk about. Today we are targeting one of the biggest health issues facing our world today. Thyroid problems can be the underlying cause for everything from tremendous weight loss hardships to extremely low energy levels (aka chronic fatigue.) Today brings the hope of many breakthrough moments for so many people who've been living a quite life of desperation. There are solutions available. And it starts with finally understanding the underlying cause. Not only are you going to uncover what's at the root of most thyroid problems, but you're going to have a comprehensive approach to testing, an entirely new understanding of how your diet relates to your thyroid function, and how things like exercise and stress also play a strange, key role that you may have never realized before. We are fortunate to have on renown physician Dr. Jillian Teta to help us understand the remarkable thyroid and gut health connection, and I promise you this will be a total game changer. In this episode you'll discover: What the thyroid really is and why it's so important. How your thyroid works and what can go wrong with its function. What can block the conversion of your thyroid hormone from "inactive" to "active". How your gut health profoundly impacts the function of your thyroid. What the difference is between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Grave's disease. Why heavy metals can be a big problem for your thyroid gland. The surprising way that thyroid hormone impacts your gut lining. How constipation can influence your hormone function (this is critical to know!). How thyroid hormone helps to regulate your immune system function. How to ensure that you have healthy gut motility. Why you need to be careful with goitrogens in this healthy class of foods if you have thyroid problems. Why sleep and de-stressing is so important for digestive health. How gluten is directly related to autoimmune diseases. Why thyroid medications like Synthroid work for some people but not for others. What labs you need to get done for a more comprehensive look at your thyroid function. How chronically elevated stress can contribute to autoimmune diseases. How to exercise intelligently to help support normal thyroid function. Items mentioned in this episode include: Onnit.com/Model <== Get your optimal health & performance supplements at 10% off!

0:14.6	Welcome to the Model Health Show, this is Fitness and Nutrition expert Sean Stevenson,
0:18.5	and I am flying so low yet again today. But I've got a special guest on. Very, very special guest,
0:25.8	and she's been on the show before. She's in the elite group of people who I've had on
0:30.4	a second time because it's just so good. Last time she was on, she was talking about fixing your
0:36.6	digestion and taking us through the process of actually how does our digestion even work in the
0:41.6	first place? You know, and understanding that our health is really, this is the center. It's
0:46.5	really the center point of our health and its birth from our digestive wellness. And it was a big
0:52.3	hit, but we're back on today to talk about thyroid health. Thyroid, everybody's talking about
0:59.8	thyroid problems, but we're not really hearing a lot about solutions. And that's what we hope to

1:34.7	essential fats are for building your neuro tissue. All right, so, but where are you getting the DHA
1:40.7	in the EPA? Good question. Well, one of the best sources is going to be found in krill oil. And
1:45.5	why I really love krill oil is that it comes naturally with a compound called astazanthin,
1:49.6	which is a natural antioxidant that helps to protect this very delicate oil from becoming
1:55.0	rancid and oxidizing. All right, you're not going to necessarily find that in a lot of fish
