In today’s episode, we’re unpacking a little-known issue affecting hormone health: numbed-out hormone receptors. This is an issue that most hormonal problems seem to have as a common denominator, impacting how well our cells receive and respond to hormones, yet very few people talk about it!

We’ll have a special focus on thyroid function today.

If you’ve been dealing with hormonal issues but your blood work looks perfect, there may be more going on beneath the surface. We’ll dive into the root causes—from stress and diet to liver health, supplementation, and even parasites—and touch on epigenetics!

Let’s decode why your body might be missing these critical messages and create better circumstances for your hormonal system to start functioning again.
