#228 How we are missing subclinical hypothyroidism: "Your labs are fine, but you're not fine" thyroid edition with Christa Biegler, RD

Send us Fan MailHair loss, cold hands and feel and feeling tired are the big three for a sluggish thyroid. But relapsing gut issues, slow motility, sleep disruption, brain fog, slow metabolism, inflammation, low mood or anxiety, and dry skin can all be symptoms of a sluggish thyroid.  In this episode, we talk about how we’ve had to change how we’re approaching thyroid health in practice to ensure clients feel their best and maintain their results.  We talk about “dead ringers” of thyroid symptoms, blood versus tissue labs, thyroid nutrient cofactors and steps to take if you’re checking the boxes but not getting answers yet.  If you’re experiencing the issues mentioned in this episode (tired, gut symptoms, etc) and want testing + support, you can get it from our program Food Sensitivity Solutions & The Fatigue Fix. In it, we correct imbalances in the gut with testing and fill in the nutrient gaps (based on testing) depriving the thyroid of working properly.  ****Learn more & apply here: https://www.christabiegler.com/fss  This episode is sponsored by RUPA Health, my favorite lab concierge service that brings over 25 different functional medicine labs to one dashboard and saves me loads of time with it’s amazing interface and saves my clients money by being a low cost blood lab facilitating option.  If you're a health practitioner, get a free account at https://www.rupahealth.com and let them know I sent you! Books mentioned: Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms by Datis Kharrazian   Overcoming Thyroid Disorders by David Brownstein, MD Stop the Thyroid Maddness II, compiled and edited by Janie Bowthorpe
