In this episode, JJ talks with thyroid and metabolic health expert McCall McPherson about the powerful connection between GLP-1 medications, inflammation, and thyroid function. Together they reveal why these therapies are about far more than weight loss and how they can unlock vitality, restore balance, and protect long-term health. This conversation will open your eyes to the overlooked truth about thyroid testing, the real benefits of GLP-1s, and practical strategies to age powerfully.

So you took perfectly healthy women as you stated, then gave them stomach paralysing Gila Monster Venom……. Ok
The link for McCall McPherson’s optimal thyroid panel list goes to “404 page not found.” 😢
Thank you ladies for being brave enough to discuss these topics. I try to stay open minded to all modalities to obtaining and maintaining a healthy mind and body. 25 yrs of working clinically in the health field, 33 yrs of interval training and eating whole foods, 7yrs of being diagnosed with BII,chronic lyme disease, hypothyroidism, etc . I am currently in a great state physically and mentally but I have learned not to judge or dismiss information, only to learn from it. BTW, I quit having health insurance long before my health was challenged because I was disgusted at how it seemed to dictate patient and physician care. Again, I truly appreciate you both!
