What if your bloating, fatigue, or constipation isn’t just “gut-related”… but a thyroid clue?
Dr. Heather Finley explains why low stomach acid, sluggish bile flow, and post-food poisoning symptoms can be red flags in thyroid cases. She shares how conventional approaches miss the deeper causes behind SIBO, constipation, and nutrient deficiencies and how gut issues can slow thyroid hormone conversion. We also touch on practical tools like stool testing, mineral analysis, and even burp tests that offer insight when standard labs fall short. Her approach is rooted in rebuilding function, not restriction.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
