    86. Medical Freedom Is Under Attack

    "Big Pharma has forgotten patient care and is all about profitability. That's all they're going to worry about." If you've been hearing confusing information about "counterfeit drugs"... if you're on compounded GLP-1s, peptides, or hormones and wondering if your medications are safe... if you care about medical freedom and individualized medicine... this episode is your wake-up call. Dr. Terri sits down with her husband Dan for one of the most urgent and controversial conversations yet. From FDA Commissioner Marty Makary's statements about "counterfeit drugs" to state-level bills trying to restrict compounding, this isn't just about pharmacy regulations - it's about whether you'll keep access to individualized medicine. Dan pulls no punches: "We were good enough to pick up the slack during Covid when Big Pharma couldn't make medications. Now all of a sudden, we're somehow unsafe? We're dangerous?" WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → What "counterfeit drugs" ACTUALLY means (and why legitimate pharmacies are being lumped in) → The difference between black market imports and FDA-inspected 503A compounding pharmacies → Why Big Pharma is running to state legislators to add restrictions on compounding → The first step to taking away medical freedom and individualized patient care → How compounders picked up the slack during GLP-1 shortages (and helped Big Pharma's popularity) → Who really stepped in during Covid when Big Pharma shut down (compounders saved the day) → The hypocrisy: "Good enough during the emergency, dangerous after" → Why Big Pharma forgot about patient care in pursuit of profitability → State-level bills happening RIGHT NOW in Indiana, Colorado, Mississippi, Kentucky, Georgia → How you can fight back and protect your access to compounded medications → Why individualized medicine matters (we're genetically different, not one-size-fits-all) → The truth about good compounders vs bad compounders This isn't about defending bad actors. It's about protecting legitimate, FDA-inspected pharmacies that provide individualized care when Big Pharma can't or won't. ACTION NEEDED: State bills are moving through legislatures RIGHT NOW that would restrict your access to compounded medications.

    85. Over 45? You Need Your Doctor to Test Free T3

    If your thyroid labs keep coming back "normal" but you're exhausted, can't lose weight, losing hair, and freezing all the time... if your doctor only checks TSH and tells you everything's fine... if you're terrified to start thyroid medication because "you'll be on it forever"... this episode is your wake-up call. Dr. Terri breaks down the thyroid testing crisis that's leaving 50% of her patients with lingering symptoms despite "normal" labs. This isn't your typical thyroid talk - it's the truth about why TSH-only testing is failing millions of people, why Free T3 is the hormone that actually matters, and what's really going on when your body can't convert T4 to T3. After almost two decades in practice, Dr. Terri finally cracked the code on why so many patients - especially women over 45-50 - optimize their hormones but still feel terrible. The answer? Their thyroid labs showed "normal" but their Free T3 levels were in the gutter. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → Why TSH is only a screening tool (and tells you nothing about what's happening in your cells) → The test 99% of doctors don't run: Free T3 - the ACTIVE thyroid hormone → Why you can have perfect TSH and T4 but still be fully symptomatic for low thyroid → The T4 to T3 conversion problem: why your body isn't making active thyroid hormone → What destroys your deiodinase enzymes (stress, restrictive dieting, gut issues, medications) → The "normal range" scam: why optimal levels are completely different from lab ranges → Why a 10-month-old baby has Free T3 over 10 (but your doctor says 2.5 is "normal") → The medication myth debunked: "If I start thyroid meds, I'll be on them forever" (NOT TRUE) → How thyroid medication actually works (it's a feedback loop, not permanent suppression) → Phase 2 liver detox: the missing piece in thyroid optimization → Why fixing stress, diet, and gut health can improve thyroid function naturally THE 3 TESTS YOU ACTUALLY NEED: 1. TSH - Screening tool only (tells you if thyroid gland is working) 2. Free T4*- The pro-hormone (80% of what thyroid secretes) 3. Free T3 - The ACTIVE hormone (what actually works in your cells) Without all three, you're missing the picture. --- ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Intro: Thyroid Awareness Month 1:45 - The lingering symptoms I couldn't explain in 50% of patients 3:30 - What I learned at a functional medicine conference that changed everything 5:20 - How medical school taught thyroid testing (and why it's incomplete) 7:15 - Understanding TSH: what it actually measures 9:40 - The T4 and T3 relationship (and why T3 is the active hormone) 11:30 - Why TSH doesn't detect low T3 problems 13:20 - Symptoms of suboptimal thyroid (cold hands, dry skin, hair loss, fatigue, depression) 15:45 - Why women struggle more with thyroid issues 17:30 - The deiodinase enzyme problem (T4 to T3 conversion) 19:10 - What destroys your conversion: stress, dieting, gut issues, medications 21:50 - Phase 2 liver detox and thyroid optimization 24:00 - Managing stress and diet to improve thyroid function 26:15 - The medication myth: "You'll be on it forever" - DEBUNKED 28:20 - How thyroid medication feedback loops actually work 30:00 - Why this is the #1 thing that gets missed in thyroid care --- 📚 RESOURCES MENTIONED: • Dr. Terri's Book: **Hormone Havoc** Deep dive on thyroid in dedicated chapter • EVEXIAS Health Solutions (Episode Sponsor) Website: https://www.evexias.com --- 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more episodes exploring integrative medicine, hormone optimization, and what your doctor isn't telling you. 👍 If this episode finally explained what's wrong with your thyroid testing, LIKE and SHARE it with someone who's been told "your labs are normal" but still feels terrible. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

    84. Your Thyroid Labs Are 'Normal' But You Feel Terrible - Here's Why

    *Episode Recorded live at Training. If your thyroid labs keep coming back "normal" but you're exhausted, gaining weight, losing hair, and feeling like you're falling apart... if your doctor keeps checking TSH and telling you everything's fine... if you've been on thyroid medication for years but still feel terrible... this episode is your wake-up call. Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Cassie Smith, an endocrinologist and hormone specialist, for a game-changing conversation about why the standard approach to thyroid testing is failing millions of people. This isn't your typical thyroid talk - it's the truth about why TSH alone is a useless marker after you start treatment, why 40-60% of Americans are walking around with suboptimal thyroid function, and what your doctor should actually be checking. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → Why TSH is only a screening tool (and becomes irrelevant once you're on medication) → The shocking truth: nobody's checking your Free T3 - the hormone that actually matters → Why conversion of T4 to T3 breaks down (stress, gut dysbiosis, insulin resistance) → The deiodinase enzymes that 93% of people can't optimize due to metabolic dysfunction → Why higher Free T3 levels = lower cardiovascular mortality and better outcomes → The "normal range" scam: why lab ranges are based on sick Americans, not optimal health → How your gut controls ALL hormone metabolism (thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, cortisol) → Why fixing thyroid without fixing gut health is a Band-Aid approach This isn't about ONE blood test. It's about understanding the whole system. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Intro: Thyroid Awareness Month 1:30 - Why TSH is basically irrelevant 3:00 - What your doctor should be checking (Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3) 4:15 - The T4 to T3 conversion problem nobody talks about 6:00 - Why 93% of Americans have insulin resistance affecting their thyroid 8:30 - Dr. Cassie's approach: symptoms over lab ranges 10:45 - The 2012 guidelines that haven't been updated (and why that's a problem) 12:20 - When doctors take you off thyroid meds because "labs look good" 15:00 - Higher T3 = lower mortality and better quality of life 17:45 - The gut-thyroid-hormone connection explained 20:30 - Why your gut controls estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid 23:15 - Dr. Cassie's book: The Gut-Hormone Connection (releasing April 6th) 26:40 - The microbiome crisis (even in "healthy" people) 29:10 - How gut health affects PCOS, menopause, and fertility ABOUT THE DR.
