- Paradigm Shift in Healthcare: Empowering Self Health and the FDA Unraveled (00:39:14)
Discover the complexities surrounding the FDA's role in regulating health products, particularly compounded medications and dietary supplements. Dr. Lori breaks down the differences between FDA-approved drugs and those that fall outside its approval process, emphasizing the agency’s lack of authority in regulating the safety and efficacy of many supplements and compounded drugs. With a focus on the growing influence of companies like Hims & Hers, the conversation highlights the tension between traditional pharmaceutical practices and the new wave of healthcare options that empower individuals to take charge of their own well-being. This episode also tackles the issue of food labeling regulations, revealing how the FDA's minimal oversight can lead to misleading claims and confusion among consumers. With recent developments like the ban on certain food dyes, Dr. Lori critiques the FDA’s inconsistent enforcement of food and supplement regulations, raising questions about the agency’s relationship with large pharmaceutical companies and its true impact on public health. We challenge all listeners to rethink the role of regulatory bodies in healthcare and advocate for more informed choices, transparency, and innovation in the pursuit of better health!
- Anti-Aging Unraveled - Liver Detox (00:24:27)
Discover the critical role the liver plays in overall well-being, emphasizing its function as the body’s primary filter. The liver processes toxins, drugs, and chemicals, converts food into energy, and is essential for glucose metabolism, protein production, and cholesterol regulation. This podcast highlights how liver dysfunction, particularly from poor diet and high sugar intake, contributes to conditions like fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, and diabetes. Explore how environmental toxins, lifestyle factors, and even emotional stress can burden the liver, leading to dysfunction. With a focus on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, Dr. Lori encourages a holistic approach to liver health, stressing the importance of addressing both liver and metabolic imbalances.

- The Difference Between Hypothyroid and Hashimotos (00:21:03)
Explore the distinction between traditional low thyroid or Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's disease. Gain insight on how traditional hypothyroidism does not typically involve antibody production, while Hashimoto's thyroid disease is characterized by the presence of antibodies. Discover the complexities of Hashimoto's thyroid disease, which can result from both under-active and sometimes overactive thyroid function. Understand that insufficient hormone production can be attributed to a variety of factors such as Hashimoto's, medication-induced low thyroid, radiation therapy, iodine deficiency, and even surgical removal of the thyroid gland. Note that Hashimoto's disease can only be definitively diagnosed through bloodwork that includes antibody level testing. Without detecting the specific antibodies associated with Hashimoto's, it cannot be confirmed as the cause of thyroid dysfunction. Learn how our comprehensive "bug workup" enables us to identify Hashimoto's and develop an appropriate treatment plan. By addressing the underlying autoimmune response, we aim to normalize antibody levels, reduce overproduction, and enhance the efficiency of the immune system.
- The Thyroid Cortisol Connection (00:36:42)
In this insightful three-part series, we delve into the intricate relationship between the thyroid and cortisol. The first part sheds light on the vital role of the thyroid in our overall well-being, acting as our body's "gas pedal" that drives energy, metabolism, weight management, and more. While conventional thyroid tests typically focus on TSH levels, there is a crucial need to also assess T3 and T4 hormones to truly understand thyroid health. The second part of this series delves into cortisol regulation, adrenal fatigue, and their connection to autoimmune thyroid disease. Dr. Lori shares a personal journey of developing autoimmune thyroid disease unexpectedly during residency, experiencing various symptoms like thin skin and fruit allergies post-pregnancy, and the subsequent challenges faced. Exploring the complexities of hormone production and conversion processes within the body, attention is drawn to the significance of factors like iodine and cofactors in the creation of active thyroid hormone T3. Moreover, the discussion highlights common thyroid medications such as levothyroxine (t4) and the limitations posed by poor absorption and the body's capacity to convert T4 to T3. Through this series, valuable insights are shared about the interplay between thyroid function, cortisol levels, and overall health, offering clarity on optimizing thyroid health and understanding the intricate mechanisms governing our body's energy and vitality.
