"If you want to feel well, you've got to let your body know that it's safe." - Dr. Izabella Wentz There are only two hormonal issues that are life and death: thyroid and adrenals. Unfortunately, when it comes to adrenals, what you think you should be doing is probably the opposite of what you should be doing. Whether you identify with the burned-out Saboteur or the Workaholic who's constantly pushing, you're not alone. Today I'm happy to be joined by Dr. Izabella Wentz, author of the upcoming book, The Adrenal Transformation Protocol, and one of the books I recommend to all my Hashimoto's patients, Hashimoto's Protocol. Izabella takes a whole-body approach to healing, with nutrition and lifestyle changes alongside mindset and self-care shifts. In this episode, Izabella and I discuss her Hashimoto's journey, her decision to develop a healing protocol for herself and how it led to helping others, why she made the transition from focusing on the thyroid to adrenals, what you need to know about adrenal fatigue, how you can start taking steps to turn the ship around, and more. If you're struggling with thyroid issues or burnout, you're not alone. Izabella is a wealth of knowledge and experience and has so many resources you can tap into. I really enjoyed this episode, and I know you will too. Highlights Izabella's snowballing symptoms and her frustrating search for answers The motivation behind writing The Root Cause Why many doctors prescribe medications like Synthroid over desiccated glandulars and other options Izabella's whole-body Hashimoto's protocol and why she focuses on approaching it as an autoimmune condition Why Izabella shifted her focus from thyroid to adrenals, despite her initial disbelief of adrenal fatigue How Izabella developed her adrenal protocol that's helped thousands of people, including herself Symptoms of burnout and adrenal dysfunction Self-care and mindset work are crucial for improving your adrenal health Why you might need to step back to move forward when it comes to weight loss Simple tips you can use to start heading in the right direction Targeted supplementation and adaptogens that can help to find pleasure in your day-to-day life Connect with Dr. Izabella Wentz Website | ThyroidPharmacist.com https://thyroidpharmacist.com/ This episode is sponsored by Örlö Nutrition Örlö Nutrition has the best supplements to supercharge your health and immune system.
