Angie came to me doing all the “right” things—working out, trying every clean diet—and still felt foggy, inflamed, and frustrated.

Once we focused on her hormones, her nervous system, nutrient balance and calming inflammation, everything changed.

She’s now energized, clear-headed, and thriving…finally able to really crush it as a busy realtor and single mom with kids!

“YOUR THYROID IS NORMAL” BUT YOU FEEL AWFUL? 🦋⁠
⁠
You’re tired, gaining weight, brain foggy, have thinning hair, brittle nails, run cold...but your doctor “tested your thyroid” and your TSH is “normal.”⁠
⁠
Sound familiar?⁠
⁠
Here’s the thing: TSH is a pituitary hormone, not a thyroid hormone. ⁠
⁠
Simply checking TSH to assess thyroid function is like seeing an idling car sitting on a lot and assuming it works well. Or checking the thermostat in your room for the temperature rather than actually feeling the temperature.⁠
⁠
Yet this is the standard approach in medicine.⁠
⁠
What you actually need tested to properly assess thyroid function:⁠
⁠
- TSH⁠
- Free T3 & T4 -> actual thyroid hormones!⁠
- Reverse T3⁠
- Thyroid antibodies⁠
- Symptoms inventory -> Your symptoms matter MORE than your numbers, especially as you get older! ⁠

🤩 Met the brilliant Dr Paul Stamets last night, an absolute LEGEND in mycology 🍄‍🟫….and psychedelic spaces.
Thank you, Dr Stamets, for a beautiful, inspiring and hopeful speech. It moved me deeply.

Also loved connecting with (my dear, long-time friend, Mark Haden. His research and tireless efforts have brought the therapeutic use of psychedelics & entheogens into the mainstream, verging on legal. Hooray! We have such interesting chats when we hike. 😊

Thank you to all who helped execute the Psychedelic Association of Canada’s fundraiser in Vancouver, BC!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

😍 Incredible to rub elbows with such a switched-on community of change-makers, whose intentions were clearly rooted in greater good of society as a whole. Refreshing.

…and an interesting juxtaposition with our federal election on the same night. 🙃
