I sound like a broken record, but this is happening SO much in my practice lately, so I had to talk about this again!

‼️ Hair loss + fatigue are often linked to deeper thyroid issues—yet so many crucial labs get skipped. 🚨

✨ Here’s what else to check (besides TSH):

🦋 Free T3 – your active thyroid hormone

⚡ Reverse T3 – blocks Free T3 when your body’s under stress 😮

🔄 Free T4- Thyroid hormone that requires selenium, zinc, iodine, iron, magnesium + B vitamins to properly convert T4 → T3

🛡️ Thyroid antibodies – often overlooked, but key for spotting Hashimoto’s which is an autoimmune disease. These are anti-TPO and anti-thyroglobulin.

You may see naturopathic doctors talk about this a lot—and that’s because it’s so important. We can’t get the full picture of what’s driving your symptoms without this data.

👉 If you’re struggling with sluggishness, fatigue, hair loss, dry skin/hair/nails, constipation, high cholesterol, depression, anxiety, or hormonal imbalances—make sure you get these labs tested.

🚩 If your doctor won’t run them, that’s a red flag. Seek out a provider who will look at your whole picture.

We help uncover the why behind your illness and guide you through personalized, root-cause healing ❤️‍🩹

This is 40 💕💝

Halloween- where you can be anyone you want to be… no limits… with no judgment. This should be our daily reality.

Birthdays bring a ton of reflection and going into this new decade, my goal is surrender more and control less.

Thank you to ALL of you who continue to support me.
Forever grateful.

GI issues are so incredibly common with symptomatic hypermobility conditions such as EDS/HSD.

We need more research to determine the exact prevalence, but some small studies have found as many as 87% of those with hEDS struggle with GI symptoms.

In fact, for me .melissakoehl.pt this was the area I struggled the hardest with in my health journey and is why I’m so excited to collaborate with Dr. Susan Cucchiara, ND .susanc on this post!

Working with skilled providers that understand the complexity of connective tissue disorders AND functional GI conditions can be so incredibly helpful.

However, access to these people isn’t always easy. But thankfully there are several self care strategies we can do to best support our digestion.

Gut motility, including the clean up waves of the migrating motor complex (MMC) is often impaired in EDS/HSD and if I had known that years ago it would have been a huge game changer!

For example ginger lemon tea is one of my all time favorite drinks, and using ginger in food, juices, smoothies etc can be one simple way to help support that gut motility.

Have you found any self care strategies that support your digestion?

From Dr. Melissa Koehl PT .melissakoehl.pt

I’m so trilled to collaborate on this post with .susanc because one of the things that has been significantly helpful in my health journey is working with a good Naturopathic Doctor.

The Ehlers Danlos Syndromes (hEDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) affects connective tissue that can be found pretty much everywhere in the body (skin, bone, cartilage: tendons, ligaments, fascia and more).

It’s a whole body systemic issue that the current medical system that is highly focused on specialties, is sometimes not well suited to address.

Many of us, myself included, go to providers for years and struggle to find answers to fatigue, brain fog, GI issue, dizziness, and more.

Adding an ND onto my care team was something I was reluctant to do at first because I had the (incorrect) perception that the only advice I might get would be to “eat healthy” and “hydrate” or to be sold a bunch of expensive supplements I don’t need.

It can feel a little bit like stepping out into the wild west when looking for some help outside of the standard medical model of health care. And you are right to be cautious and do your research here!

But, when working with someone reputable, you’ll see the approach is tailored to your needs, which while may involve supplements, I found this ultimately saved me $ in the long run because I was only buying high quality supplements that based on testing, were what I actually needed, instead of just randomly throwing supplements at my health issues and seeing what worked.

Another thing that can give you more confidence in working with a Naturopathic Doctor is understanding the extraordinarily high level of education they have, especially in regards to treating the body as a whole, and understanding the role of lifestyle, diet, nutrition and more.
