561. My Honest Opinion About...Everything I Can Fit into this Episode Part 1

September 16, 2025·32m

What’s the truth behind GLP medications, thyroid testing, iodine, and hormone replacement therapy—and what should you really believe? In this episode, I’m giving you my honest opinion on some of the most controversial topics in the thyroid and hormone space. From the polarizing debates around GLP-1 medications to the truth about free T3 testing, iodine supplementation, and whether HRT increases cancer risk, I break down the science, share real patient experiences, and call out the misinformation that’s keeping women stuck. You’ll hear why blanket “good” or “bad” labels don’t work, how to know if you’re using the right tests at the right time, and why iodine may be the missing link in protecting your thyroid and overall health. If you’ve ever felt confused by the noise online or pressured by doctors, influencers, or even friends, this conversation will give you clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of how to make the best decisions for your body.
