671. The Truth About Your Gut and Thyroid That No One Told You

Laura Frontiero (0:00)

You don't have to have a digestive symptom to have a gut problem. Your symptom could be energy crashes every single day between 1 and 3 p.m. It could be getting a full night's sleep and waking up feeling tired. It could be migrating inflammatory issues on your skin. It could be joint pain, migraines. It could be completely not something that you'd associate with your digestive tract, where your gut microbiome lives.

So if you're listening because you're exhausted, you're gaining weight for no reason, losing your hair, getting really frustrated, or you've been told that everything looks normal, when you know deep down something isn't right, I want you to know that I see you. I've been where you are, and that's exactly why I created this podcast. My mission is super simple, to give you the information, the hope and the tools that I wish someone had given me years ago. So my goal is you get to stop wondering what's wrong with your body, and finally start getting your life back. So if these episodes have helped you at all, would you do me one small favor?

Every follow and every review helps this podcast reach another person who's lying there awake at night wondering why they don't even recognize themselves anymore when they look in the mirror, wondering what's happened to this amazing, energized, full of life person they used to be. You're helping them.

Think of it as your insider pass. So thank you for letting me be part of your journey and thank you for your time. Now, let's get into today's episode.

Okay, let me ask you a question. Do you fully realize and comprehend the importance of your gut and the role that it plays in your overall health, in longevity, in your thyroid function? Do you know how the thyroid and the gut play together? Now, you may have heard some IG influencers out there talking about it, doing their 60-second reel, or you may have unfortunately bought and participated in a gut healing protocol, quote unquote, that did not work, or maybe even felt worse. Or let me ask you, are you one of those people where you have digestive enzymes and probiotics on your counter and you're taking it religiously, and either they're not working or you might actually feel worse?

Is that pinging you just a little bit? Then you're going to have to continue listening to this episode, because my guest today, friend and colleague, Laura Frontiero, she's the founder and CEO of Bio Radiant Health. She's created six online functional medicine health summits. She's served thousands of patients in her clinic and her virtual setting. She's a nurse practitioner for 25 years, but her work in the health industry just brings together beautifully traditional and functional medicine. She's actually known by her community and my community as the energy lady, because Laura and I, we refer back and forth together. We work on cases together. Her people are my people, my people are her people, because guess what? The gut and the thyroid go together when it's done right. Now, I would never send any of you to any other practitioner out there for your gut outside of Laura. She's the one I trust. She knows what she's doing. She makes sense of it. And when you listen to this episode, there are things that are going to click in your head that are going to just amaze you, surprise you and piss you off, because the information that you've been given by all of those BSIG influencers out there, trying to sell you a gut healing protocol, has done you a disservice. And Laura and I say, enough, enough. We want to give you the real information, the information you know that's actually going to help you go figure, because isn't that why you listen to these shows? You want real info that's going to help you. So you keep listening because this is the best, damn, gut thyroid, maybe the only gut thyroid episode that I've done that I learned on. It enlightened me.

I feel like just way more educated in the importance of the gut and the proper way to actually, and I'm not even going to say heal your gut. That's so cliche. The proper way to actually change your gut terrain so that you do poop every day, so that you eliminate toxins, so that you prevent disease, so that you lower your reverse T3, so that you improve your thyroid and your hormones. This one is going to blow you away.
