Some, if not many, roadblocks behind thyroid healing have a covert driver that only a few doctors ask about: unresolved trauma.
Trauma can keep the nervous system in a constant state of high alert, which may cause the immune system to remain overactive and antibodies to stay elevated. Even if you’re eating well, supporting your gut, and managing stress today, past trauma can still influence how your body responds.
This doesn’t mean trauma is always the root cause and the answer, but it’s often overlooked in both conventional and functional medicine. In this episode, I share how trauma may affect thyroid health and why addressing it could open new doors for healing when efforts seem to no avail.
Tune in to discover how processing old trauma may be the answer in lowering thyroid antibodies and moving your healing forward.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
