Izabella Wentz, PharmD, FASCP, is an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist and a licensed pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root causes of autoimmune thyroid disease after being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in 2009. She is the author of three books on Hashimoto’s, including her latest, Adrenal Transformation Protocol: A 4-Week Plan to Release Stress Symptoms and Go from Surviving to Thriving.
What you'll learn from this episode:
Common symptoms of adrenal dysfunction, including brain fog, fatigue, irritability, mood swings, light sensitivity, sleep issues, and feeling wired but tired.
How your body’s adaptive physiology has been hijacked, and why you need to assess your stressors to get unstuck from this state of constant fight or flight.
The role of carnitine in healing Hashimoto's, why you should eat grass-fed beef, and why people with autoimmune disorders should increase their protein intake.
What it means to have a secondary food sensitivity, the big three problematic allergens for people with autoimmune conditions—gluten, dairy, and soy—why you may be able to reintroduce foods when you have healed your gut, common reasons for gut impermeability, and supplements that can help!
The early symptoms of Hashimoto's—including brain fog, hair loss, miscarriages, and mood disorders—and which tests can detect it in the early stages long before TSH levels rise, so you can heal your Hashimoto’s naturally through diet and lifestyle interventions!
And so much more!
