Show notes

This really is the million-dollar question isn't it? How do I lose weight?

When you have Hashimoto's and/or hypothyroidism, weight gain and then the difficulty losing weight is so frustrating.

It's not as simple as calories in calories out. Or exercise harder (in fact that might be causing weight GAIN).

So, what do you do? What food should you eat? Not eat? What type of exercise should you do?

Aside from answering those core questions, we also cover:

Science of the adrenals and hormones
Getting to the root cause of the health issue
Possible underlying factors or common causes
T4 to T3 conversion
What are the medical tests to take to get started?
How to maintain a healthy weight

I also share my protocol to find your weight loss code.

Show notes

Lots of great questions sent in for this Q&A with Karen;

Livia

Hi Karen! I've been looking all over for info on increasing testosterone. Mine has been incredibly low. I'm 34, not menopausal, been eating keto for years, I've tested when I did carnivore a year ago and again and still low. I eat lots of red meat, liver. Not sure what else to do. DHEA was in "normal" range and so were B vitamins. Is there anything I'm missing?

Elda

Is oral progesterone or cream better

Jackie

How the heck do I get some energy back so I can eat well and exercise? It's so difficult to get motivated and the weight is piling on. PS I love you Karen, you are saving my life 😍.

Dana

Hi Karen, I'm looking forward to the Q &A Saturday. I wonder about the estradiol patch? Is it bioidentical? How often do you change? Benefits/ drawbacks? How does it compare to cream?

Gale

Is pregnenolone a good option for perimenopause?

Dayle

Are you able to discuss your thoughts on the current mRna vaccine and its potential effects on hormones?
