207: What Your Doctor Doesn’t Check | Thyroid, Hormones, and Getting Real Answers by Ashley Cruz Arata
Hello friends!
I have a new podcast episode live, and today we’re talking all about thyroid health, hormones, and why so many women are told they’re “fine” when they really aren’t.
I’m talking with my friend Ashley Cruz Arata, a certified integrative health practitioner and hormone expert. For years he was dismissed by doctors who told me everything was fine because “all the labs were normal.” At the time, she was dealing with 35 pounds of weight, chronic joint pain, brain fog and crippling fatigue. She finally cured herself and is now helping highly successful women 35+ find the real answers their doctors were missing. I think you will like him.
Check out what we’re talking about:
- Why the common thyroid test only looks for two symptoms and why that is a big problem for millions of women
- Labs you should be ordering, including free T3, reverse T3, TPO antibodies, cortisol, and sex hormones
- Why moderate fasting and increased cardio can make thyroid dysfunction worse
- The truth about thyroid medication and why taking it doesn’t mean you’re done
- Two free, easy home practices that support your thyroid and cortisol rhythm every day
- A protein-before-coffee routine that can completely change the way your day feels
- How stress silently wreaks havoc on your hormones and Ashley’s Sunday night ritual to keep you in check without adding more to your plate
Many more!!
