In this metabolism-transforming episode, I sit down with Jay Feldman — metabolism expert and wellness educator — to expose the shocking truth about why your thyroid medication isn't working and how our modern environment is systematically destroying our metabolic health.
From revealing why T4-only medication (the 4th most prescribed drug in the world) might be making you worse to explaining how seed oils are hijacking your hormone conversion, Jay drops serious science that will make you question everything your doctor told you about thyroid health.
Whether you're struggling with unexplained weight gain, chronic fatigue, hair loss, or fertility issues, this conversation will revolutionize how you understand your metabolism and give you practical tools to reclaim your energy.
What we cover:
✔️ Why your thyroid is the master regulator of everything (energy, fertility, digestion)
✔️ The environmental assault on your metabolism (and it's everywhere)
✔️ Body temperature secrets: the simple home test that reveals metabolic dysfunction
✔️ TSH lies: why "normal" ranges are keeping you sick
✔️ The T4 medication scandal: why Synthroid fails 95% of people
✔️ Seed oil sabotage: how PUFAs block thyroid conversion (even in chicken and pork)
✔️ Reverse T3: the anti-thyroid hormone nobody talks about
✔️ Why French doctors won't prescribe T3 (and what to do about it)
✔️ Desiccated thyroid truth: natural vs. synthetic hormone replacement
✔️ The fertility-thyroid connection for both men and women
✔️ Intermittent fasting myth busted: why skipping meals kills your metabolism
Jay doesn't just diagnose the problem — he provides a roadmap for healing your metabolism naturally while navigating the broken medical system that's failing thyroid patients worldwide.
