EastWest Healing Revolutionizing nutrition for thyroid health! Another very interesting observation was the enormous spectrum by which food affected one person vs. another.

Josh and Jeanne are revolutionizing nutrition for thyroid health by teaching people how to use food as supplementation, reduce stress and build the most sound foundation for the body to heal. After many years of following the functional medicine path coupled with teaching people about “healthy” food Josh and Jeanne began to see some common trends. People began qualifying themselves by their labs, resulting in increased anxiety, hyper-focus on disease and a devastating blow to the overall health of the individual. Digging deeper into the effects of food on human physiology and the work of endocrinology and physiology masterminds such as Ray Peat, Constance Martin, Dr. John Lee, Hans Selye and a handful of others, Josh and Jeanne began to recognize the health of the metabolism and the different effects the environment can have on two different, yet similar beings. Underlying these differences are genetics, life experiences, nutrition, lifestyle habits and the effects of stress on the nervous system; the story. And underlying this story, working very hard to maintain health, is the living cell.

“For us to understand disease we must first understand the living cell.”- Dr. Bieber. The role of thyroid hormone in every single cell in the body signifies the importance in having a healthy, functioning thyroid. Inspired by the work of Dr. Broda Barnes, Josh and Jeanne were able to develop a very effective and comprehensive approach to creating the perfect nutritional foundation aimed at restoring energy metabolism. Using food as supplementation Josh and Jeanne have transformed the lives of hundreds of people around the world by working with them to create the perfect nutrition plan. They do not believe in fixing or suppressing symptoms, but do believe when you provide the body adequate resources to meet the demands of that individual body, the intelligence of the human body takes over and healing unfolds. They believe the greatest defense one has against the ever-changing environment is the health of the metabolism. When the metabolism is strong and the thyroid is functioning, all systems are working in synergy, just as they are meant to. Josh and Jeanne pride themselves on their individualization and attention to detail. They believe unless the time is taken to listen to individual stories, to hear the story, to acknowledge the story and to respond appropriately to the story, health will be lost. To achieve optimal health they have learned it is imperative we learn more about these vessels we inhabit throughout our lives and how to support them. Josh and Jeanne are giving people back what is rightfully theirs, their health and their lives. Health is simple, so why is it so few have it? Because as a society we have been trained to look to someone or something to heal us and abandoned the simple laws of nature. Josh and Jeanne are teaching people how to use food to resource their body in new ways, which in turn is building a bridge for complete mind, body and spirit growth and transformation. They have spent the past 15 years building an approach to healing grounded in the health and innate properties of nature. They both have very different stories but have found by applying what they are going to teach you, have achieved greater health today then ever before in their lives. They believe that the best coach is one that has walked the walk. As Albert Einstein said, “the only source of knowledge is experience.”

Josh and Jeanne have been in the shoes of their clients. They have walked step by step and live their lives based on the philosophy they teach. They know it works first hand and are excited to get to share what they have learned with you.

When researchers compared women with PMS to women without it, their hormone levels looked the same.

What was different was how their bodies responded to the normal monthly rise and fall.

Same hormones. Different sensitivity.

Here’s what’s actually changing that week:

Mood. After ovulation, progesterone becomes a calming brain chemical that works on GABA. Late in the cycle, it falls. A nervous system that’s already on high alert feels that drop the most.

Your calm signal. The part of your nervous system that settles you naturally dips before your period.

Sleep. Progesterone raises your body temperature day and night and blunts the nighttime cool-down. Many women feel they sleep worse that week.

Hunger. You genuinely need a bit more fuel, around 170 extra calories a day. Your hunger is telling the truth.

This is not the week to diet.

And stress stacks on top. In one study, the most stressed women reported much more moderate-to-severe PMS the following cycle.

On high-stress days, women had slightly lower progesterone and higher odds of a skipped ovulation.

So what shapes that sensitivity? The same three questions your body asks all month: What time is it? Do we have enough? Am I safe?

Track two or three cycles, sleep, mood and hunger by cycle day, and you’ll start to see your own pattern.

Your body is just sensitive. And sensitivity can change.

Leptin is usually called the fullness hormone. That undersells it badly.

Leptin’s real job is to report to your brain how much energy came in, and to decide what that energy gets spent on.

When your brain hears leptin clearly, it reads safety: enough fuel to build, repair, ovulate and reproduce.

When the signal goes quiet, your brain reads famine. And a body that believes food is scarce doesn’t spend its resources on a cycle. It spends them on getting you through today.

Reproduction isn’t the only thing it cuts. Thyroid conversion, tissue repair, a warm, fast metabolism.

They’re the first programs a body trims when it thinks there isn’t enough.

What silences leptin usually isn’t a lack of food. It’s the shape of the day: No morning sun. Late meals. Blue light at night. Training too late. More red light panel time than outside time 😉

Four ordinary habits, and the brain starts reading abundance as scarcity.

There’s striking research on what happens when that signal is restored. In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, women who had lost their cycles to an energy deficit were given leptin.

Their brain’s reproductive pulses picked back up, follicles grew, estradiol rose, and their thyroid and growth hormone axes improved too.

A follow-up trial saw menstruation return.

Nobody treated their ovaries.

Nobody prescribed estrogen or progesterone.

That’s not a case for leptin shots. It’s a case for the signal. You can’t take leptin, but you can change what your brain hears.

The cycle wasn’t missing a s*x hormone. It was waiting on a signal.

This Wednesday the 28th - today, live inside TNNS Program, Jeanne and I are walking through the three questions your hormones are always answering:

What time is it? Do we have enough? Am I safe? From your luteal phase to menopause.

A $1,000 red light panel, or stepping outside at sunrise?

I’m not saying red light can’t help.

For some people it absolutely does.

But if you’re just starting out, and you’ve already spent a small fortune on practitioners, supplements and programs, why not start with the one that’s free?

Nature gives you red and near-infrared every single day.
☀️ Sunrise
☀️ Late morning → midday

These wavelengths:
• Boost ATP
• Support collagen & repair
• Reduce inflammation
• Steady the nervous system

And sunrise gives you something a panel can’t: the signal that sets your clock. The sun sets the rhythm.

So, should you use red light in winter? The answer has a few layers.

Biology isn’t linear. Rigid protocols create rigid results. Your body works in rhythms, not checklists.

If your redox is low (low mitochondrial charge), winter hits harder: less sun, more indoor living, slower energy.

For some people, red/NIR gives the system a real boost. And some get so energized from even a small dose that they start having sleep issues.

Not a failure, just a timing or dosage fix.

“But isn’t red light in winter a circadian mismatch?” Technically, yes. Winter means less light, lower intensity and shorter days.

Artificial red/NIR can confuse things if the rest of your environment is mismatched.

Red light is a support, not a replacement.

Nature is the foundation.

So if money is tight, don’t buy a red light.

Go watch the sunrise. 😉

Eating every 90 minutes to keep your adrenals calm isn’t healing them.

The idea makes sense on the surface.

Blood sugar drops, your liver’s reserves run low, your adrenals release adrenaline to cover the gap.

So you eat a little something every hour and a half to stay ahead of it.

But nobody asks the real question: why does your blood sugar keep dropping in the first place?

Leptin controls insulin, not the other way around. Leptin is the hormone that tells your body it has fuel in reserve and when to stop driving blood sugar down.

It goes quiet when you never see the morning sun, when you eat after dark, when you scroll in bed.

Your hypothalamus reads that as famine. Your adrenals step in, because keeping you alive is their job.

The adrenaline isn’t the problem.
It’s the messenger.

A snack every 90 minutes answers the alarm without ever turning it off.

And it costs you: constant low-grade insulin, no rest between meals, and a gut that never gets its repair window.

That’s patching an energy leak. It works right up until you miss a snack, which is exactly when you find out nothing underneath has changed.

The food in the tin isn’t the problem. Greens, fruit and minerals are great. Needing them every 90 minutes to function is the message.

Your symptoms are messengers.

Your body is trying to tell you something.

It’s responding accurately to broken signals.

If you struggle with adrenal and or blood sugar issues and ready to fix those broken signals…

You’ve probably heard that iron is quietly killing your progesterone.

It’s one of the most repeated claims in the mineral world. Part of it holds up. Part of it is a leap.

Here’s how we separate them.

What’s solid: Copper runs your iron.

Ceruloplasmin, the copper protein your liver makes, has to load iron before it can travel in your blood.

When ceruloplasmin is low, iron stops moving and sits in your tissues, where it oxidizes. Think rust.

And a thread almost nobody mentions: the corpus luteum, the gland that makes progesterone after you ovulate, collects iron as it breaks down at the end of your cycle, along with rising oxidative stress. Iron really is part of the picture where progesterone production winds down.

What’s a leap: ferritin lowers your progesterone has never been shown as a cause-and-effect pathway in people. The best-documented arrow runs the other way.

Progesterone raises hepcidin, the hormone that locks iron away, so after ovulation, when progesterone peaks, the iron in your blood tends to fall. The hormone steers the mineral.

So chasing your ferritin to fix your progesterone pulls the wrong lever.

What holds up: Iron never works alone. Your lab’s storage number isn’t the whole story.

And a body flooded with iron it can’t move isn’t set up to make progesterone well.

Which brings it back upstream.

Chronic stress spends your copper and magnesium. Broken rhythm silences melatonin, the mother hormone of progesterone.

Fix the stress, the light and the rhythm, and you’re working on what moves both.

If you find yourself struggling with iron, ferritin, and or hormone issues…

Her cycle was never missing a hormone. It was waiting on a signal.

There is striking research on what happens when that signal comes back. In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, women who had lost their cycles to an energy deficit were given leptin.

Their brain’s reproductive pulses picked back up. Follicles grew. Estradiol rose. Their thyroid and growth hormone axes improved too.

A follow up trial saw menstruation return.

Nothing in that study replaced a s*x hormone.

Leptin is usually called the fullness hormone, and that undersells it badly.

Its real job is to report to your brain how much energy came in, and to decide what that energy gets spent on. When the brain hears it clearly, it reads safety.

What silences leptin usually is not a lack of food. It is the shape of the day. No morning sun. Late meals. Blue light at night. Training too late.
Four ordinary habits, and the brain starts reading abundance as scarcity.

Your hormones are not the problem.

They are the messengers.

And firing the messenger has never once changed the news.
