Trauma can be a root cause of our health issues and can create barriers between us and the healthy changes we're trying to make. If we have deep wounds under the hood of our health issues and we overlook or ignore them, we’re likely going to struggle to make the healthiest choices, reach our health goals, and thrive. Despite doing all the things on the surface (food, exercise, supplements, sleep, etc.), turmoil below the surface can sabotage your progress, and addressing it can be a gateway to profound healing.   

That's what we're going to explore in episode 62 of the Thyroid-Healthy Bites podcast with my special guest, Mandy Harvey.   

Mandy Harvey is a leader in the field of trauma healing and an in-demand inspirational speaker. Mandy’s extraordinary story of transforming her own life and courageously healing from devastating childhood trauma and a near-death experience is the inspiration behind her bold mission to teach others that it is possible to do the same.  

Whether you've experienced big "T" or little "t" trauma in your life, this moving interview will show you how old hurts can manifest in physical ways and how to overcome them. So, hit that play button, and let's dig in.

In this episode of Thyroid-Healthy Bites, we're tackling a crucial topic: Medical Gaslighting and its impact on thyroid patients. Many thyroid patients express feeling unheard, frustrated, and dismissed by the medical system. We're often misdiagnosed, under-medicated, or incorrectly medicated with symptom-masking drugs like anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds while our thyroid imbalances go unaddressed. Additionally, many of those drugs come with serious risks and dependencies that patients aren't made fully aware of until it's too late. 

In this important and deeply personal conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Teralyn Sell, PhD, and licensed professional counselor Jenn Millard-Schmitz. As co-hosts of The Gaslit Truth Podcast, these mental health professionals are passionate about shedding light on medical gaslighting and its ripple effects. Together, we'll explore the impacts of this problematic phenomenon and provide practical tips for avoiding it. 

Get ready for an unfiltered conversation that delves deep into the heart of the matter. You'll hear how my guests have witnessed this phenomenon in countless patients and in their own medical treatment and how it ultimately led them to course-correct their careers to try to make a difference. Dr. Teralyn and Jenn aren't holding back, so grab your headphones, and let's dive in.
