Speaker 2 (00:44):
Good afternoon, Happy Saturday. Welcome to the Ask Doctor Earned
Show hates to show where pounds areshed, disease is dead
and where you get to be set free from your
health problems and live life to your fullest health potential.
My name is doctor Aaron Ernst, and today we're going
to be discussing and addressing one of the most common
questions that I get from patience, from friends, and even
(01:06):
from listeners like you, Why am I so tired all
the time? Maybe you wake up exhausted despite sleeping all
the way through the night.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Maybe you hit that three pm wall.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
You guys know what I'm talking about, right, all of
a sudden where it's like I just can't can't even
keep my eyes open, and you try to push through
it with caffeine and energy drinks. Maybe you're constantly dragging
through life wondering if this is what it's like to
get older, And I'm here to tell you absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Did you know this?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Fatigue is now the number one most widespread complaint of
Americans going to their physicians. The CDC estimates that fifty
percent of adults are feeling chronically tired. Even while we
study what we struggle with exhaustion, a hundred million people
(02:01):
are complaining that they are running on an empty tank.
They've been told by their doctors that their blood work
looks perfect and normal. There's no explanation for their fatigue.
But here is the raw truth. If you feel tired
all the time, there is something deeper happening inside of
your body. Fatigue is not caused by a lack of
caffeine or naps, or motivation or even energy drinks. It
(02:25):
is your body's check engine light, and that light is
warning you that something's going on physiologically and fundamentally inside
your body. And unfortunately, here's the reality. Conventional medicine, as
you know this, rarely asks why. Instead, they're gonna throw
out things like, oh, it's chronic fatigue syndrome, or it's
(02:47):
a dreanal dysfunction, or more than likely it's depression, and
you'll leave with your hands full of prescriptions. That's not healing, guys,
that's just covering up the signals. So what we're going
to talk about today is why why am I tired
all the time? Why does it need constant simulation for
my body to seem to stay awake when it shouldn't be,
(03:08):
Like you should be waking up fully refreshed, energized, ready
to go, No two three four o'clock crashing. The answer
to this question of where does all this fatigue come from?
Is actually going to help you to start activating your
self healing system. So today we're going to discuss the
top three you heard this right, the top three functional
(03:30):
causes that I see every single week with patients coming
in thyroid dysfunction, adrenal dysfunction, and toxic overload. Those right there, guys,
those are the hidden triggers of the energy drainers that
conventional testing is always going to miss. And I'm here
to tell you a secret. They are one hundred percent reversible,
(03:51):
which means boom, you can have your energy back. And
because one of them has to do with your thyroid,
we are hosting an event called the Thyroid Heild they
Self Master Class. I'm gonna be blunt. Ninety percent of
people listening to my voice right now that are saying,
I'm so tired. There's something going on with your thyroid,
even if your doctor says your labs look perfect. So Saturday,
(04:14):
December thirteenth, Yes, this is the early bird registration is
my Thyroid Heal they Self Masterclass. I'm also handing out
today a free Thyroid Healed they Self ebook.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
It shows you how.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
To solve this epidemic of energy drain and fatigue and
thyroid dysfunction. Because the number one challenge that causes us
to be so tired is our thyroid is out of
balance and we didn't know it. So if you'd like
to have your energy back, if you'd like to lose weight,
if you'd like to be resilient, text the word thyroid
plus your name and email to seven oh four nine
(04:45):
zero six two zero nine four. As you know, all
the master classes I host, hundreds of people join them,
and we see massive transformations in those who attend. I've
gotten testimonials of people losing twenty to thirty pounds, getting
off metays, having their life come back. But it always
starts with taking action. So you're listening to our show today,
(05:06):
good for you, But pick up your phone, dial that
number into your messaging app seven O four nine zero
six two zero nine four, hit the word thyroid with
your name and email. We'll get you connected and will
get you vibrant and alive and energetic and healing the
way that you were created. Okay, cost number one? Why
(05:26):
am I tired all the time? Thyroid is function and
a condition known as reverse T three dominance.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
There is a very.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
High likelihood if you're fatigued, if you're struggling to lose weight,
if your hair is thinning, if you're feeling you know,
just like you're not yourself. It's a thyroid challenge. Your
thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland that's inside of your neck,
and you know this right. Hopefully it controls your metabolism,
It regulates your temperature, but most importantly, it regulates your energy.
(05:55):
So if your thyroid is functioning properly, every cell in
your body, man, it's work in the way that it should.
But if your thyroid isn't working properly, then everything slows down.
Here we go ready, sluggishness, weight gain, cold hands, cold feet,
brain fog, and fatigue the number one symptom that shows up.
(06:18):
Yet millions of Americans are told every year that their
thyroid is within the normal limits because conventional physicianry checks
TSH and T four and they're looking for only just
the superficial end. The problem lies in the way this
conventional testing is done. Most doctors measure TSH primarily as
the gold standard method of thyroid functionality. Thyroid stimulation hormone TSH.
(06:44):
Yes it's out there, and yes it exists, but it's
not a direct thyroid response. It's your brain sending a
hormone to the thyroid to say, hey, thyroid work. Then
your thyroid has to make T four. Now it is
an inactive hormone, and it has to be converted into
the active thyroid hormone within the liver. So where the
real magic happens is the process of how your liver
(07:06):
takes inactive T four and turns it into active T three. Now,
if this is working properly, then you're gonna be vibrant and.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Full of energy.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
But for a lot of you, the hidden fatigue factor
is right here. When your liver is under stress, be
that from toxins or diet or medications or inflammation, it
starts to convert T four inactive into a hormone that
could be considered a counterfeit hormone called reverse T three.
It looks exactly like T three, but metabolically it's a decoy.
(07:39):
It fits into the receptor for thyroid hormones, but it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Do what T three does.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
It blocks the ability for the T three to make
you energetic and make you lose weight and make you
vibrant and alive. So even though your blood work could
be normal with tsh and normal with T four, you
could be dealing with the condition known as reverse T
three dominance. It's existing. It's a functional hypothyroid condition where
(08:07):
your body has lots of thyroid hormones, but it can't
use it. So this is why so many people feel
terrible even though their labs look perfect. Their cells are
being tricked into thinking that they have enough thyroid hormone.
This reverse T three issue is extremely common, and especially
people that are chronically stressed eating low caloric and low
(08:30):
nutrient based diets. If you've been exposed to environmental toxins,
it's your body's way of slowing down your metabolism because
it's a survival mechanism that often backfires. If you want
some more information about reverse T three and how you
can get simple testing to have that diagnostic found, text
the word thyroid plus your name and email to seven
(08:51):
O four nine zero six two zero nine four. The
Thyroid Heal they Self ebook contains all of the information
on how to get the right kinds of testing, how
to solve this naturally. It's yours free along with the
masterclass Saturday, December thirteenth. Just text the word thyroid plus
your name and email to seven O four nine zero
six two zero nine four. So how do we fix this? Well, first,
(09:15):
you have to identify it. It means you have to
have an actual, real thyroid panel done. I've done all
the work for you. The full thyroid panel with all
the biomarkers that you can ask your doctor for is
in the Thyroid Ebook. It's yours free again. Your name,
your email, and the word thyroid to seven O four
nine zero six two zero nine four. I'll listen for you. TSH.
(09:38):
We have to look at it. Free T four we
have to see how much T four your thyroid's producing.
Free T three we have to see are you actually
making the active thyroid hormone. And of course we want
to look at reverse T three, and we want to
look at thyroid an to bodies, thyroglobulin and thyrod proxidase.
If your reverse T three is elevated and you're T
(10:00):
three is dropping, there is a conversion issue and it's
the source of why your body's.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Getting sucked with energy.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
So now we have to start supporting your liver because
your liver is the conversion factory.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
For your thyroid hormones.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
So if your liver's congested, the process starts to break down.
This is why we use liver supports, milk thistle, dandelion root,
in acetyl cystein. These are all phenomenal nutrients that can
help to upregulate the function of your liver. They open
up detox pathways, and they help you to naturally take
(10:35):
your T four and convert it properly into T three.
So remember this. If you remove the cause of the problems,
watch this man. Your blood sugars can stabilize, your blood
pressure can stabilize. If you get enough proteins and fats,
your stress can start to come down. When you reduce
inflammation within the liver, reverse T three levels start to
come down. And then watch this man. Your energy comes
(10:57):
back as if you're like a flooded rocket. People are
going to be asking you how did you do this,
and you're gonna say, you know, I actually ran some tests.
I found out I had a THYROI dysfunction. I use
some functional medicine, I got it fixed, and bam, I'm
healing from within. We see this over and over and
over again. So again, if you're looking for a way out,
I have a masterclass for you. Well, I'll show you
(11:19):
how to do this. It's on December thirteenth. Yes, it's
a couple weeks away from today, but do this. Download
the Thyroid Heal Thyself ebook and implement the protocols found
in here, and you could hop on that masterclass as
a testimony, going whew, I no longer need caffeine, I
no longer need energy drinks. I'm vibrantly alive because I
took care of myself. Text the word thyroid plus your
(11:40):
name and email to seven O four nine zero six
to zero nine four. Guys, Trust me, it's really not
as complicated as it sounds. You just need to find
out for yourself. Do you have an imbalance? If you do,
the corrective methods of fixing it are in the ebook. Okay,
cause number two, why am I so tired all the time?
If you go, if you run a thigh roid panel,
(12:00):
even the expansive one, and it's perfect. Then we next
look to your adrenal glands. The second major cause of
chronic fatigue is what's known as adrenal dysfunction.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
So here we go.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Your adrenal glands sit on top of your kidneys and
they are your body's energy thermostats.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
They produce cortisol.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Your primary stress response, which helps to regulate things like
your blood sugar and your inflammation and even your sleep
wake cycles. So when your adrenal glands are in sync
when they're working. Cortisol rises in the morning to help
you wake up, and it falls at night to help
you rest. But here's what's happening for most of you.
(12:39):
Cortisol is super low in the morning, so you can't
seem to wake yourself up, and guess what, it's high
in the latter parts of the day into the evening,
and you're kind of like, man, I'm so just wired,
Like I can't fall asleep. I'm so tired, but I
can't sleep. If you're that tired but wired individual, start thinking.
Adrenal glands stress, be it physical, emotional, or chemical, which
(13:03):
is a big one, are the main disruptors of your
adrenal gland function. Whether it's financial stressors or a relationship conflict,
or you haven't been sleeping very well. Your body perceives
all of these things as a dangerous threat. Over time,
your brain and your adrenals start losing connection. There's something
known as the HPA axis. It's how your hypothalamus, your
(13:28):
pituitary gland, and your adrenals talk to each other with hormones.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
And here's the best part, guys.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Twenty twenty five, we have tests that can actually measure
the HP axis and find out is your adrenal gland
working properly? Is your brain working properly. In the early stages,
here's what happens. Cortisol stays super high. This is the
I'm wired, but I'm tired individual, anxious, unable to relax,
can't fall asleep at night, but is so fatigued during
(13:56):
the day. Does that sound like you remember adrenal glands.
But as this goes on, cortisol production starts to actually
come down. So now it's like you're barely able to
get up and going. You're gonna crave salt and sweet
foods because your body needs those to stimulate the adrenal response.
And you hit this wall of mega exhaustion, like around
(14:18):
two to four o'clock in the afternoon, you feel like
you're running on fumes. This is when most people start
turning to energy drinks, caffeine drinks, whatever. Unfortunately, what we
don't realize is that the stress we're under is often constant, right,
So your body was never designed to be in this
constant state of fight or flight. So when your chemistry
(14:39):
becomes out of balance, your energy takes a toll. So
how do we restore all of this balance. Well, the
first is to re establish base rhythm. We need to
make sure that when you wake up in the morning
or as the sun starts to come out, you're getting
natural sunlight exposure to your eyes, so like as soon
as the sun rise, if you can do this, get outside,
(15:02):
walk around, let the natural sunlight start to kick and
reset your metabolic clock.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
We have to stop.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Using energy drinks and caffeine. Yes, they're going to temporarily
make you feel good, but they're drainers for your adrenal glands.
We need to start prioritizing your sleep. This is where
we start asking you to be able to sleep schedule,
so in bed no later than ten thirty, making sure
you're getting us solid eight hours dark out your room,
(15:31):
use blackout shades, cool it down. You need to be
sleeping like around seventy to sixty nine degrees in your room.
If your brain is getting constant stimulation from light, your
cell phones, your TVs, even your clocks that are giving
off light, acques your brain that hey it's not nighttime,
it's actually daytime, and so your adrenal glands start to
(15:53):
turn on.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Nutrient wise, well, here we go.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Your adrenal glands love ready for this item in C,
vitamin B five, magnesium, and they like herbs like ashwaganda
and rodiola and holy basil. These nutrients can help to
buffer what cortisol is doing and can sometimes even reset
your natural rhythm. It's also vital that you understand that
(16:20):
many times your blood sugars can often disrupt adrenal function.
Every time your blood sugars crash, your body releases cortisol
because it helps to push sugar out of the liver.
So if you are skipping meals for long periods of time,
if you're not watching your blood sugars and you're letting
them go too high or too low, your adrenal glands
can go into overdrive to try to keep you stable.
(16:41):
So we want to make sure we're eating a clean,
healthy protein, high fat diet. Inside the Thyroid Healey self ebook.
I have an entire protocol for you that helps to
reset your adrenal glands. It helps reset your thyroid, it
helps you to get your body back, and guys, it's
absolutely free. Just text the word thyroid plus your name

Speaker 3 (17:13):

Outside of the energy it takes for you to move
your thumbs and text that number. There's no other cost involved.

to get your energy back again. The number seven O

how to restore your energy, get your thyroid back on
track again, get you losing weight, get your feeling great.
This will be a great pre early end of the
year gift for you. Think of it like a total
body makeover, one hundred percent free all for you. Merry
Christmas early okay. Cause Number three toxicity. This is a
(17:59):
mad that's your cause for fatigue in the US today,
every single day we're exposed to chemicals in the food
we eat, in the water we drink, and the air
we breathe, and yes, in the stuff you guys keep
slathering on your bodies. All of these toxins start to
build up inside of your liver, and that disrupts the
liver functionality, and thus we see reverse T three levels
(18:20):
start to climb.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Do you see it.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
We start to store all these toxins in our fat
cells because toxins are generally fat soluble. Your brain is
made of fat, cholesterol, and other molecules. So when you
start to get toxins in your brain, it blocks mitochondrial function,
It can disrupt your hormones, and here we go. It
sucks the life out of your energy. Think of your
(18:43):
body as like a city. Your liver is the waste
management department. So when garbage is piling up faster than
it can be removed, things start to back up. And
imagine if your street didn't have the trash men coming
for the next four weeks, I mean, it would just
get to be. So this is what happened with toxicity.
You remove your drainage pathways naturally because your liver and
(19:07):
your kidneys and your gut are overburdened, and this overwhelm
will halt energy production. So toxins like pesticides in your food,
heavy metals in a lot of your personal care products.
So you guys know that most deodorants are loaded with aluminum,
which when absorbed into your body, stresses out your lymphatics
and drains you from energy. So what if it's your
(19:29):
deodorants sucking the life out of your energy. What if
it's the lotions and the creams and all the stuff
that you use, plastics from your food products, even mold.
All of these things can hijack your immune system and
cause inflammation. So the thyroid receptor, the insulin receptor, the
cortisol receptor can become blocked or choked out because heavy
(19:54):
metals tend to land on those things. So the end
result is you feel fun, you feel tired, you feel
fatigued and inflamed. Obviously, the first way to fix this
is got to get your body draining, open up the
drainage pathways. Before doing any detox, you want to make
sure your body is physically able to get stuff out. So,
(20:14):
are you're having bowel movements easily or your lymphatics moving well?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Are you hydrated?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Seventy five percent of Americans are chronically systemically dehydrated and
their bodies can't flush. So we just get you drinking
really good water, We get you moving your bowels. Then
we got to go back to your liver again, because
your liver is your primary detox organ We mentioned them before,
milk thistle, glued tothione, nac. These are all healthy nutrients
(20:42):
to help to support your liver and.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Flush it out.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Now that we have toxins moving, we need to get
them out of you, and these are binders, activated charcoal, bentonite, clays, corilla,
and spillinas. These are all great things you can use
to grab toxins so they come out through your digestive
system and your urine air tract. The most importantly, of course,
(21:06):
it's finding the source and removing your exposure. So we
want to avoid plastic containers and plastic food products. We
want to step up our personal care products to become
more clean and less toxic, and we want to of
course eat organic food as much as you can. Even
those tiny things can reduce your toxic burden, and so
your body starts to feel better, heal better, and energy
(21:27):
starts to go up. So again we have an entire
detox pathway inside the thyroid heel. They self ebook why
is it titled thyroid? Because eighty percent of people that
I work with that are chronically fatigued have a subclinical
thyroid problem and they didn't even know about it.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
So we need you to understand.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
It's hormones for energy more than anything else. So let's
recap this as I only have this segment. Guys, Unfortunately,
there's a football game or something that's about to come
on and they're gonna say stop, doctor Arnch. They gave
me twenty five minutes, so let's recap it. Fatigue is
not nor. It is a message. It's your body's way
of saying, hey, wake up, something is out of balance.
(22:06):
It could be your thyroid producing too much reverse T
three due to your liver being stressed out. It could
be your adrenal glands misfiring from chronic stress. It could
be your body being weighed down from toxicity. The messages
are clear. It's simple. You can get testing done to
find out which of these you have. So you don't
(22:29):
need caffeine or naps or salty sugary sweets. You just
need balance, nourishment to your body and detoxification. I'm gonna
tell you a bold statement. When your thyroid's working properly
and your adrenal glands are synchronized, your detox systems are open.
Energy is something that you don't chase anymore. You are
energy Remember, fatigue is not our destiny. We weren't designed
(22:52):
to be tired. It's a teacher. It's a way of
your body showing you. Wait, you need to pay attention.
Listen up. I'm not working to my fullest potential. So
if this message resonates with you, text in the word
thyroid plus your name and email to seven oh four
nine zero six two zero nine four. I'm gonna shoot
you an ebook that shows you how to solve this
epidemic of energy issues, weight loss, resistance, fatigue, all the
(23:18):
just right hair loss. I feel like I'm getting older.
And then you can join me for a free live
masterclass on Saturday, December thirteenth. This is the early bird
registration guys is gonna fill up fast, so grab a
seat for this online event now. And remember, we don't
guess with the astoct turans networks. We like to test

design a recharge plan to fix it naturally. So if
you're ready to stop surviving and start thriving, text over

Good afternoon, Happy Saturday. Welcome to the Ask Doctor Earned
Show hates to show where pounds areshed, disease is dead
and where you get to be set free from your
health problems and live life to your fullest health potential.
My name is doctor Aaron Ernst, and today we're going
to be discussing and addressing one of the most common
questions that I get from patience, from friends, and even
(01:06):
from listeners like you, Why am I so tired all
the time? Maybe you wake up exhausted despite sleeping all
the way through the night.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Maybe you hit that three pm wall.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
You guys know what I'm talking about, right, all of
a sudden where it's like I just can't can't even
keep my eyes open, and you try to push through
it with caffeine and energy drinks. Maybe you're constantly dragging
through life wondering if this is what it's like to
get older, And I'm here to tell you absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Did you know this?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Fatigue is now the number one most widespread complaint of
Americans going to their physicians. The CDC estimates that fifty
percent of adults are feeling chronically tired. Even while we
study what we struggle with exhaustion, a hundred million people
(02:01):
are complaining that they are running on an empty tank.
They've been told by their doctors that their blood work
looks perfect and normal. There's no explanation for their fatigue.
But here is the raw truth. If you feel tired
all the time, there is something deeper happening inside of
your body. Fatigue is not caused by a lack of
caffeine or naps, or motivation or even energy drinks. It
(02:25):
is your body's check engine light, and that light is
warning you that something's going on physiologically and fundamentally inside
your body. And unfortunately, here's the reality. Conventional medicine, as
you know this, rarely asks why. Instead, they're gonna throw
out things like, oh, it's chronic fatigue syndrome, or it's
(02:47):
a dreanal dysfunction, or more than likely it's depression, and
you'll leave with your hands full of prescriptions. That's not healing, guys,
that's just covering up the signals. So what we're going
to talk about today is why why am I tired
all the time? Why does it need constant simulation for
my body to seem to stay awake when it shouldn't be,
(03:08):
Like you should be waking up fully refreshed, energized, ready
to go, No two three four o'clock crashing. The answer
to this question of where does all this fatigue come from?
Is actually going to help you to start activating your
self healing system. So today we're going to discuss the
top three you heard this right, the top three functional
(03:30):
causes that I see every single week with patients coming
in thyroid dysfunction, adrenal dysfunction, and toxic overload. Those right there, guys,
those are the hidden triggers of the energy drainers that
conventional testing is always going to miss. And I'm here
to tell you a secret. They are one hundred percent reversible,
(03:51):
which means boom, you can have your energy back. And
because one of them has to do with your thyroid,
we are hosting an event called the Thyroid Heild they
Self Master Class. I'm gonna be blunt. Ninety percent of
people listening to my voice right now that are saying,
I'm so tired. There's something going on with your thyroid,
even if your doctor says your labs look perfect. So Saturday,
(04:14):
December thirteenth, Yes, this is the early bird registration is
my Thyroid Heal they Self Masterclass. I'm also handing out
today a free Thyroid Healed they Self ebook.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
It shows you how.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
To solve this epidemic of energy drain and fatigue and
thyroid dysfunction. Because the number one challenge that causes us
to be so tired is our thyroid is out of
balance and we didn't know it. So if you'd like
to have your energy back, if you'd like to lose weight,
if you'd like to be resilient, text the word thyroid
plus your name and email to seven oh four nine
(04:45):
zero six two zero nine four. As you know, all
the master classes I host, hundreds of people join them,
and we see massive transformations in those who attend. I've
gotten testimonials of people losing twenty to thirty pounds, getting
off metays, having their life come back. But it always
starts with taking action. So you're listening to our show today,
(05:06):
good for you, But pick up your phone, dial that
number into your messaging app seven O four nine zero
six two zero nine four, hit the word thyroid with
your name and email. We'll get you connected and will
get you vibrant and alive and energetic and healing the
way that you were created. Okay, cost number one? Why
(05:26):
am I tired all the time? Thyroid is function and
a condition known as reverse T three dominance.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
There is a very.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
High likelihood if you're fatigued, if you're struggling to lose weight,
if your hair is thinning, if you're feeling you know,
just like you're not yourself. It's a thyroid challenge. Your
thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland that's inside of your neck,
and you know this right. Hopefully it controls your metabolism,
It regulates your temperature, but most importantly, it regulates your energy.
(05:55):
So if your thyroid is functioning properly, every cell in
your body, man, it's work in the way that it should.
But if your thyroid isn't working properly, then everything slows down.
Here we go ready, sluggishness, weight gain, cold hands, cold feet,
brain fog, and fatigue the number one symptom that shows up.
(06:18):
Yet millions of Americans are told every year that their
thyroid is within the normal limits because conventional physicianry checks
TSH and T four and they're looking for only just
the superficial end. The problem lies in the way this
conventional testing is done. Most doctors measure TSH primarily as
the gold standard method of thyroid functionality. Thyroid stimulation hormone TSH.
(06:44):
Yes it's out there, and yes it exists, but it's
not a direct thyroid response. It's your brain sending a
hormone to the thyroid to say, hey, thyroid work. Then
your thyroid has to make T four. Now it is
an inactive hormone, and it has to be converted into
the active thyroid hormone within the liver. So where the
real magic happens is the process of how your liver
(07:06):
takes inactive T four and turns it into active T three. Now,
if this is working properly, then you're gonna be vibrant and.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Full of energy.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
But for a lot of you, the hidden fatigue factor
is right here. When your liver is under stress, be
that from toxins or diet or medications or inflammation, it
starts to convert T four inactive into a hormone that
could be considered a counterfeit hormone called reverse T three.
It looks exactly like T three, but metabolically it's a decoy.
(07:39):
It fits into the receptor for thyroid hormones, but it doesn't.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Do what T three does.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
It blocks the ability for the T three to make
you energetic and make you lose weight and make you
vibrant and alive. So even though your blood work could
be normal with tsh and normal with T four, you
could be dealing with the condition known as reverse T
three dominance. It's existing. It's a functional hypothyroid condition where
(08:07):
your body has lots of thyroid hormones, but it can't
use it. So this is why so many people feel
terrible even though their labs look perfect. Their cells are
being tricked into thinking that they have enough thyroid hormone.
This reverse T three issue is extremely common, and especially
people that are chronically stressed eating low caloric and low
(08:30):
nutrient based diets. If you've been exposed to environmental toxins,
it's your body's way of slowing down your metabolism because
it's a survival mechanism that often backfires. If you want
some more information about reverse T three and how you
can get simple testing to have that diagnostic found, text
the word thyroid plus your name and email to seven
(08:51):
O four nine zero six two zero nine four. The
Thyroid Heal they Self ebook contains all of the information
on how to get the right kinds of testing, how
to solve this naturally. It's yours free along with the
masterclass Saturday, December thirteenth. Just text the word thyroid plus
your name and email to seven O four nine zero
six two zero nine four. So how do we fix this? Well, first,
(09:15):
you have to identify it. It means you have to
have an actual, real thyroid panel done. I've done all
the work for you. The full thyroid panel with all
the biomarkers that you can ask your doctor for is
in the Thyroid Ebook. It's yours free again. Your name,
your email, and the word thyroid to seven O four
nine zero six two zero nine four. I'll listen for you. TSH.
(09:38):
We have to look at it. Free T four we
have to see how much T four your thyroid's producing.
Free T three we have to see are you actually
making the active thyroid hormone. And of course we want
to look at reverse T three, and we want to
look at thyroid an to bodies, thyroglobulin and thyrod proxidase.
If your reverse T three is elevated and you're T
(10:00):
three is dropping, there is a conversion issue and it's
the source of why your body's.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Getting sucked with energy.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
So now we have to start supporting your liver because
your liver is the conversion factory.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
For your thyroid hormones.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
So if your liver's congested, the process starts to break down.
This is why we use liver supports, milk thistle, dandelion root,
in acetyl cystein. These are all phenomenal nutrients that can
help to upregulate the function of your liver. They open
up detox pathways, and they help you to naturally take
(10:35):
your T four and convert it properly into T three.
So remember this. If you remove the cause of the problems,
watch this man. Your blood sugars can stabilize, your blood
pressure can stabilize. If you get enough proteins and fats,
your stress can start to come down. When you reduce
inflammation within the liver, reverse T three levels start to
come down. And then watch this man. Your energy comes
(10:57):
back as if you're like a flooded rocket. People are
going to be asking you how did you do this,
and you're gonna say, you know, I actually ran some tests.
I found out I had a THYROI dysfunction. I use
some functional medicine, I got it fixed, and bam, I'm
healing from within. We see this over and over and
over again. So again, if you're looking for a way out,
I have a masterclass for you. Well, I'll show you
(11:19):
how to do this. It's on December thirteenth. Yes, it's
a couple weeks away from today, but do this. Download
the Thyroid Heal Thyself ebook and implement the protocols found
in here, and you could hop on that masterclass as
a testimony, going whew, I no longer need caffeine, I
no longer need energy drinks. I'm vibrantly alive because I
took care of myself. Text the word thyroid plus your
(11:40):
name and email to seven O four nine zero six
to zero nine four. Guys, Trust me, it's really not
as complicated as it sounds. You just need to find
out for yourself. Do you have an imbalance? If you do,
the corrective methods of fixing it are in the ebook. Okay,
cause number two, why am I so tired all the time?
If you go, if you run a thigh roid panel,
(12:00):
even the expansive one, and it's perfect. Then we next
look to your adrenal glands. The second major cause of
chronic fatigue is what's known as adrenal dysfunction.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
So here we go.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Your adrenal glands sit on top of your kidneys and
they are your body's energy thermostats.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
They produce cortisol.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Your primary stress response, which helps to regulate things like
your blood sugar and your inflammation and even your sleep
wake cycles. So when your adrenal glands are in sync
when they're working. Cortisol rises in the morning to help
you wake up, and it falls at night to help
you rest. But here's what's happening for most of you.
(12:39):
Cortisol is super low in the morning, so you can't
seem to wake yourself up, and guess what, it's high
in the latter parts of the day into the evening,
and you're kind of like, man, I'm so just wired,
Like I can't fall asleep. I'm so tired, but I
can't sleep. If you're that tired but wired individual, start thinking.
Adrenal glands stress, be it physical, emotional, or chemical, which
(13:03):
is a big one, are the main disruptors of your
adrenal gland function. Whether it's financial stressors or a relationship conflict,
or you haven't been sleeping very well. Your body perceives
all of these things as a dangerous threat. Over time,
your brain and your adrenals start losing connection. There's something
known as the HPA axis. It's how your hypothalamus, your
(13:28):
pituitary gland, and your adrenals talk to each other with hormones.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
And here's the best part, guys.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Twenty twenty five, we have tests that can actually measure
the HP axis and find out is your adrenal gland
working properly? Is your brain working properly. In the early stages,
here's what happens. Cortisol stays super high. This is the
I'm wired, but I'm tired individual, anxious, unable to relax,
can't fall asleep at night, but is so fatigued during
(13:56):
the day. Does that sound like you remember adrenal glands.
But as this goes on, cortisol production starts to actually
come down. So now it's like you're barely able to
get up and going. You're gonna crave salt and sweet
foods because your body needs those to stimulate the adrenal response.
And you hit this wall of mega exhaustion, like around
(14:18):
two to four o'clock in the afternoon, you feel like
you're running on fumes. This is when most people start
turning to energy drinks, caffeine drinks, whatever. Unfortunately, what we
don't realize is that the stress we're under is often constant, right,
So your body was never designed to be in this
constant state of fight or flight. So when your chemistry
(14:39):
becomes out of balance, your energy takes a toll. So
how do we restore all of this balance. Well, the
first is to re establish base rhythm. We need to
make sure that when you wake up in the morning
or as the sun starts to come out, you're getting
natural sunlight exposure to your eyes, so like as soon
as the sun rise, if you can do this, get outside,
(15:02):
walk around, let the natural sunlight start to kick and
reset your metabolic clock.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
We have to stop.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Using energy drinks and caffeine. Yes, they're going to temporarily
make you feel good, but they're drainers for your adrenal glands.
We need to start prioritizing your sleep. This is where
we start asking you to be able to sleep schedule,
so in bed no later than ten thirty, making sure
you're getting us solid eight hours dark out your room,
(15:31):
use blackout shades, cool it down. You need to be
sleeping like around seventy to sixty nine degrees in your room.
If your brain is getting constant stimulation from light, your
cell phones, your TVs, even your clocks that are giving
off light, acques your brain that hey it's not nighttime,
it's actually daytime, and so your adrenal glands start to
(15:53):
turn on.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Nutrient wise, well, here we go.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Your adrenal glands love ready for this item in C,
vitamin B five, magnesium, and they like herbs like ashwaganda
and rodiola and holy basil. These nutrients can help to
buffer what cortisol is doing and can sometimes even reset
your natural rhythm. It's also vital that you understand that
(16:20):
many times your blood sugars can often disrupt adrenal function.
Every time your blood sugars crash, your body releases cortisol
because it helps to push sugar out of the liver.
So if you are skipping meals for long periods of time,
if you're not watching your blood sugars and you're letting
them go too high or too low, your adrenal glands
can go into overdrive to try to keep you stable.
(16:41):
So we want to make sure we're eating a clean,
healthy protein, high fat diet. Inside the Thyroid Healey self ebook.

This will be a great pre early end of the
year gift for you. Think of it like a total
body makeover, one hundred percent free all for you. Merry
Christmas early okay. Cause Number three toxicity. This is a
(17:59):
mad that's your cause for fatigue in the US today,
every single day we're exposed to chemicals in the food
we eat, in the water we drink, and the air
we breathe, and yes, in the stuff you guys keep
slathering on your bodies. All of these toxins start to
build up inside of your liver, and that disrupts the
liver functionality, and thus we see reverse T three levels
(18:20):
start to climb.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Do you see it.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
We start to store all these toxins in our fat
cells because toxins are generally fat soluble. Your brain is
made of fat, cholesterol, and other molecules. So when you
start to get toxins in your brain, it blocks mitochondrial function,
It can disrupt your hormones, and here we go. It
sucks the life out of your energy. Think of your
(18:43):
body as like a city. Your liver is the waste
management department. So when garbage is piling up faster than
it can be removed, things start to back up. And
imagine if your street didn't have the trash men coming
for the next four weeks, I mean, it would just
get to be. So this is what happened with toxicity.
You remove your drainage pathways naturally because your liver and
(19:07):
your kidneys and your gut are overburdened, and this overwhelm
will halt energy production. So toxins like pesticides in your food,
heavy metals in a lot of your personal care products.
So you guys know that most deodorants are loaded with aluminum,
which when absorbed into your body, stresses out your lymphatics
and drains you from energy. So what if it's your
(19:29):
deodorants sucking the life out of your energy. What if
it's the lotions and the creams and all the stuff
that you use, plastics from your food products, even mold.
All of these things can hijack your immune system and
cause inflammation. So the thyroid receptor, the insulin receptor, the
cortisol receptor can become blocked or choked out because heavy
(19:54):
metals tend to land on those things. So the end
result is you feel fun, you feel tired, you feel
fatigued and inflamed. Obviously, the first way to fix this
is got to get your body draining, open up the
drainage pathways. Before doing any detox, you want to make
sure your body is physically able to get stuff out. So,
(20:14):
are you're having bowel movements easily or your lymphatics moving well?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Are you hydrated?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Seventy five percent of Americans are chronically systemically dehydrated and
their bodies can't flush. So we just get you drinking
really good water, We get you moving your bowels. Then
we got to go back to your liver again, because
your liver is your primary detox organ We mentioned them before,
milk thistle, glued tothione, nac. These are all healthy nutrients
(20:42):
to help to support your liver and.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Flush it out.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Now that we have toxins moving, we need to get
them out of you, and these are binders, activated charcoal, bentonite, clays, corilla,
and spillinas. These are all great things you can use
to grab toxins so they come out through your digestive
system and your urine air tract. The most importantly, of course,
(21:06):
it's finding the source and removing your exposure. So we
want to avoid plastic containers and plastic food products. We
want to step up our personal care products to become
more clean and less toxic, and we want to of
course eat organic food as much as you can. Even
those tiny things can reduce your toxic burden, and so
your body starts to feel better, heal better, and energy
(21:27):
starts to go up. So again we have an entire
detox pathway inside the thyroid heel. They self ebook why
is it titled thyroid? Because eighty percent of people that
I work with that are chronically fatigued have a subclinical
thyroid problem and they didn't even know about it.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
So we need you to understand.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
It's hormones for energy more than anything else. So let's
recap this as I only have this segment. Guys, Unfortunately,
there's a football game or something that's about to come
on and they're gonna say stop, doctor Arnch. They gave
me twenty five minutes, so let's recap it. Fatigue is
not nor. It is a message. It's your body's way
of saying, hey, wake up, something is out of balance.
(22:06):
It could be your thyroid producing too much reverse T
three due to your liver being stressed out. It could
be your adrenal glands misfiring from chronic stress. It could
be your body being weighed down from toxicity. The messages
are clear. It's simple. You can get testing done to
find out which of these you have. So you don't
(22:29):
need caffeine or naps or salty sugary sweets. You just
need balance, nourishment to your body and detoxification. I'm gonna
tell you a bold statement. When your thyroid's working properly
and your adrenal glands are synchronized, your detox systems are open.
Energy is something that you don't chase anymore. You are
energy Remember, fatigue is not our destiny. We weren't designed
(22:52):
to be tired. It's a teacher. It's a way of
your body showing you. Wait, you need to pay attention.
Listen up. I'm not working to my fullest potential. So
if this message resonates with you, text in the word
thyroid plus your name and email to seven oh four
nine zero six two zero nine four. I'm gonna shoot
you an ebook that shows you how to solve this
epidemic of energy issues, weight loss, resistance, fatigue, all the
(23:18):
just right hair loss. I feel like I'm getting older.
And then you can join me for a free live

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
