In this episode I had the chance to talk to Christina Thomas, president and co-founder of My Self Wellness, and co-founder of Warriors of Consciousness, on how Ketamine and other psychedelics can be efficacious and beneficial for addressing mental health issues, including clinical depression. In this conversation I also mention a study performed back in the 1960's by the UK military on LSD and how it impacted the soldiers, here is that video;

Here is a study also showing how Ketamine cures depression by reducing serotonin and increasing dopamine;

327 Understanding Ketamine for mental health with Christina Thomas

I had the brilliant Keith Littlewood B.Sc., PgD, M.Sc. on the podcast to go deep on Thyroid function, hypothyroidism, hormones and their influence on metabolism, liver health and lots more. We made several references to Dr Ray Peat, Dr Broda Barnes, and Georgi Dinkov. This conversation was excellent and I learned so much. 
Prepare to put your thinking hat on and take lots of notes! Let us know how you like this conversation and what you learned in the comments. [Chapters on my YouTube channel too.]
Keith will be back on the podcast in a few months, but in the meantime you can follow his work here;

#330 Thyroid, metabolic hormones, liver stagnation and more with Keith Littlewood.

Recently I had the chance to catch up with Reed Davis, the Founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN). We discusses the different aspects of functional diagnostic nutrition and testing, and how these differ from conventional health recommendations and testing ranges. Also how conventional medicine can often overlook a lot of the root causes driving a persons symptoms. We hope you really enjoy this conversation, like we did! Let us know if you have any feedback in the comments. :)

#331 Functional diagnostics, adrenal fatigue, and more with Reed Davis.

This masterclass was recorded live in my Facebook Biohacking group. We discussed the basics of the thyroid and how it influences the body. Also the downstream effect that low thyroid function has on all metabolic systems and organs. I hope you find this helpful and if you have any questions at all, please reach out!

SPECIAL; Thyroid Masterclass - thyroid basics and how low thyroid function effects the body.

With all the talk around Thyroid health, we often forget or overlook the "Parathyroid". This is a mistake because PTH can be directly influenced by stress and in turn can cause leaching of calcium from the bones and increase swelling or fluid retention in the body. The research also shows us that people with with an overactive parathyroid, also have issues with their weight.
Take a listen to this solo episode to understand the parathyroid more, and understand your body more!

#332 What is the "Parathyroid" and why should you care?

Its very common that I speak to someone who believes they have low thyroid function or "hypothyroidism", and they are not getting help from conventional medicine. You may get TSH tested, which is almost irrelevant, and then sent home after being told "everything looks normal". But I believe many of us know our own body better then any doctor - we have lived here for many years. 
So I wanted to remind you of these tests that I have spoken of before. These 4 tests can be done at home with low cost and are non invasive/pain free. You can do these tests, track your data and then discover your thyroids health for yourself. Then you can take action on supporting your body, confidently, after listening to what it is trying to tell you. 
These tests have been used since the 1800s by many experts in the field of thyroid health and are deemed to be better then serum testing.

#337 4 at home tests you can do to assess your thyroid function.

In this episode we are learning about TOFI - thin on the outside and fat on the inside. Just because someone in slim or "skinny" does not mean that they are healthy. Especially if that person does not have a lot of muscle. TOFI can be a high risk factor for several metabolic diseases and sometimes the only way to find out if you are at risk is through testing. Find out more in this podcast episode.

#343 TOFI - thin on the outside, fat on the inside.

In this solo episode I had intention to focus only on undereating but it naturally took a turn into how under eating effects the thyroid. This then helped to highlight the different symptoms people experience when under eating including low energy and hair loss...which are actually signs that your thyroid is struggling. I hope you find this helpful and be sure to also listen to EP173 which is the first podcast episode I did on under eating and compliments this episode in a more symptomology way.

#345 Under-eating and your thyroid.

I am so excited to bring you my friend and colleague Paul Robinson in this podcast episode to discuss the many problems with the current ways we treat and test for low thyroid or hypothyroidism. Paul also shared some of his story with us and how being undertreated for hypothyroidism basically destroyed his life. We also got into the specifics of T4, T3 and Reverse T3 to hopefully help you understand and take more control of your thyroid and health issues. And what do you do if your doctor won't help you. Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback in the comments. 

Paul Robinson became ill with hypothyroidism in his late twenties. Over the next thirty-plus years, Paul accumulated a wealth of knowledge on thyroid and adrenal dysfunction. His scientific background enabled him to fight through the morass of misinformation and recover his health, and help many many others.

At first, Paul was put on the most common thyroid treatment - Levothyroxine (also known as Synthroid or T4). However, the majority of his symptoms remained, much like they do for many on T4-therapy. Over time he became even more ill, with both low cortisol and low thyroid symptoms. This then spurred Paul to put everything he learned on paper - writing his 3 books. Paul wrote 'The CT3M Handbook' as a companion book to 'Recovering with T3' to explain more about raising cortisol levels if needed. And Paul wrote his third book ‘The Thyroid Patient’s Manual’.  This book covers all types of thyroid medications (T4, T4/T3, NDT, and T3).
