Thyroid People!

1. Had a client who was told by her MD that TPO Ab's of 900 was normal.
2. She was told it "might" indicate Hashimoto's.
3. She was told they would "just watch it" and retest in 3 months.

Here is my take... That is absolutely ridiculous! The max TPO Abs should be is 5.6. That is 16,973% highter than normal.
YEA
You have Hashimoto's.
And that's not normal, And you can do something about it.

Do You Have Anxiety?

A comment on one of my anxiety videos stopped me.
Someone went on antibiotics for something totally unrelated. Their anxiety vanished. Like, gone. A few weeks later, it came flooding back.
They're now convinced their anxiety is tied to their gut.

They're right.

Here's what actually happened: the antibiotic wiped out their gut bacteria — good and bad. Whatever bacteria were driving the anxiety got knocked out too. For a little while, they felt amazing. Then the bacteria grew back, settled right back into the same imbalanced pattern, and the anxiety came home with it.

Your gut bacteria aren't just riding along. They're steering your mood. When they're out of balance, anxiety often isn't its own problem — it's a symptom of something downstream.

This is why a trip to the GI usually doesn't fix it. You walk out with a Miralax recommendation and a "good luck." Not because your GI is bad at their job. Gut-brain balance just isn't what they're trained to look at.
So what actually drives that bacterial balance?

Mostly what you eat. Every single day.

Do You Have Anxiety?

Here is a comment from one of my YouTube videos about Anxiety.

Someone told me they went on antibiotics for something unrelated — and their anxiety disappeared. Like, gone. Then a few weeks later, it came flooding back.

They're now convinced their anxiety has something to do with their gut. They're right.

Here's what happened: the antibiotic nuked their gut bacteria. All of it, good and bad. For a little while, whatever bacteria were driving the anxiety were knocked out too. Then the bacteria grew back, settled into their same old imbalanced pattern, and the anxiety came right back with it.

Your gut bacteria aren't just along for the ride. They're actively influencing your mood. When they're out of balance, anxiety and low mood are often the result — not a separate issue, a downstream one.

This is why a trip to the GI doc usually doesn't fix it. You get a recommendation for Miralax and a "good luck." That's not because your GI is bad at their job — gut-brain balance just isn't what they're trained to look at.

What actually drives that bacterial balance? Mostly what you eat. Every single day.

Not tired like "I need coffee" tired. Tired like your body forgot how to have energy. That was Michelle before we found what was actually driving it. Turns out chasing fatigue is a lot like fishing — you're not going to catch anything if you're using the wrong bait. Full story in the video https://youtu.be/stQA9_l4t1Q

Your doctor checked your thyroid. It came back fine. So they told you it's stress, or aging, or "just life." That's not the answer. There's a reason your body is holding onto inflammation — and it's not something more sleep fixes. Watch how we found it https://youtu.be/stQA9_l4t1Q

Everything came back "normal" on your labs. So why do you still feel like you're dragging a boat anchor through your afternoon? Michelle thought she was broken too — turns out her body was doing exactly what it was designed to do. Just not for the reason she thought. Full video https://youtu.be/stQA9_l4t1Q

If you have endometriosis, you know it’s not just the pain.

It’s the depression, the anxiety, the mood swings… like being on a roller coaster you can’t get off.

The good news? We’ve helped clients calm their mood swings by fixing the root cause first.

When your gut and liver are working properly, your mood swings often improve — because you’re addressing the reason behind them, not just masking symptoms.

If this resonates, share your experience below or pass this along to someone who needs it ❤️

A lot of people think endometriosis is only a hormone problem.
But what I see in the clinic is a bit different.

Your body already knows how to handle extra estrogen — the liver is designed to package it up and move it out.
But when that system is overwhelmed with sugar, processed oils, inflammation, or chronic stress… the “janitor” can’t keep up.

And that’s when estrogen starts to feel like it’s building up, making symptoms flare again and again.

One of the simplest things you can do right now?

Start adding more cruciferous vegetables to your meals.
Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts — they contain compounds that help support the detox process naturally.

These aren’t quick fixes.
But they are the kinds of daily habits that support long-term relief and better balance.

I’d love to hear from you — what lifestyle change has made the biggest difference in your health so far?

If you’ve ever microwaved leftovers in a plastic container, you’re definitely not alone — most of us grew up doing it without thinking twice.

But if you're dealing with hormone-related symptoms or endometriosis, here’s something worth paying attention to.

When plastic is heated, it can release xenoestrogens — compounds that act like estrogen in the body. And if you’re already dealing with estrogen-related symptoms, that can add more stress on your system day after day.

This is something we see all the time in the clinic.
Not because people are doing anything “wrong,” but simply because no one taught us better options.

One of the simplest changes you can make?

Warm your food on a plate or in a glass container instead of plastic.
Store your leftovers in glass or metal when you can.

Small shifts like this don’t fix everything but they can reduce the daily hormone load your body has to manage.

If you’ve struggled with endo or hormone imbalance, I’d love to hear what small lifestyle change helped you most.

If your endometriosis pain has been getting worse, here’s something most people never think about:

your cooking oil.

Inflammation plays a major role in endo flare-ups, and certain oils can push inflammation even higher.

The common seed oils (canola, vegetable, soybean) are loaded with omega-6 fats, and when that balance gets too high, the body becomes more reactive — which means more sensitivity and more pain.

The good news?
There’s a simple way to support your body: swap your oils.

We’ve seen so many women feel a difference after switching to options like olive oil, avocado oil, butter, or beef tallow. They contain fats that help calm inflammation instead of adding to it.

Small changes really add up, especially when you’re living with daily pain.

If this is something you're dealing with, you’re not alone.
