Explore Dr. Eric Balcavage’s revolutionary insights into thyroid health, cellular stress, and the misunderstood root causes behind hypothyroid symptoms.

Dr. Jen Pfleghaar speaks with Dr. Eric Balcavage, a nationally recognized educator and founder of a functional medicine clinic, about "The Thyroid Debacle." They dive deep into why both conventional and functional medicine often misinterpret thyroid symptoms, delaying diagnosis and leading to mismanagement. Dr. Balcavage explains how chronic stress triggers an adaptive response at the cellular level that mimics hypothyroid symptoms, long before the gland itself is damaged. Learn about the cell danger response, why blasting the body with thyroid hormones can backfire, and how to truly address the root causes of hormonal and metabolic dysfunction.

Dr. Eric Balcavage owns and founded Rejuvagen, a functional medicine clinic in Chadds Ford, PA. He is a licensed chiropractor, author of The Thyroid Debacle, and host of the Thyroid Answers Podcast. Dr. Balcavage is a nationally recognized speaker on thyroid dysfunction, cellular health, and metabolic disorders. His work centers on identifying stress-induced adaptations in the body that drive chronic illness, especially hypothyroidism and autoimmune conditions.
