I know what you all are thinking: “Six episodes into this series and he hasn’t even once talked about hormone replacement - does this guy even know what he’s talking about?” My short answer to that question: maybe. For a more nuanced take on hormone replacement, make sure to give today’s episode a listen, because I’ve got three reasons why I think hormone replacement likely is not the right move for you when looking to heal your thyroid. It may not be the most popular take, but in this episode I drop some knowledge on all of us about how our vitamins and supplements might not actually be doing anything in the first place, the gut bugs that many of us may be overlooking, and the mysterious subject of autoimmunity that we all might want to take a second look into.
