I'm joined today by Dr. Heather Stone, a top functional medicine practitioner who has spent over twenty years helping women navigate the complexities of hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s. We dive deep into why the conventional medical system often brushes off thyroid symptoms and how you can use a functional approach to uncover the real triggers behind your fatigue and weight gain. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge to stop feeling like a hypochondriac and start taking actionable steps toward reclaiming your vitality and aging powerfully.
What you’ll learn:
(00:02) Why most women diagnosed with hypothyroidism actually have Hashimoto’s.
(06:04) How “normal” lab ranges are created—and why they can be misleading.
(09:29) The most common symptoms women experience that often get dismissed.
(10:42) Why thyroid problems are usually autoimmune—not just hormonal.
(14:33) The key lab markers and tests needed to properly assess thyroid health.
(20:24) How thyroid hormone conversion happens outside the thyroid.
(27:29) The biggest mistakes doctors make when treating thyroid issues.
(41:37) Why mindset and belief systems are foundational to true healing.
