by Dr. Rachel Vong, ND
Have you been told your thyroid labs look "normal," but you still feel exhausted, struggle to lose weight, have brain fog, hair loss, bloating, anxiety, or just don't feel like yourself anymore? You're not imagining it, and you're certainly not alone. Welcome to The Empowered Thyroid Podcast, where we go beyond TSH and thyroid medication to uncover what's really driving hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's. I'm Dr. Rachel Vong, a naturopathic doctor who has spent more than a decade helping women with thyroid disease uncover the root causes behind their symptoms. Every week, I'll break down complex thyroid topics into simple, practical conversations that actually make sense, so you can better understand your body and finally feel empowered to take control of your health. We'll cover topics like: • Why you still feel terrible on thyroid medication • Hashimoto's, thyroid antibodies, and the immune system connection • The full thyroid panel your doctor probably isn't running (and what the numbers actually mean) • How gut health, liver function, blood sugar, hormones, and stress all impact your thyroid • Weight loss with hypothyroidism • Fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum thyroid health • Fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, hair loss, and more Most importantly, this podcast is here to remind you that there is always a reason why you feel the way you do. Because when you understand your body, you can advocate for yourself with confidence and that's where healing begins.
