Today, Susan and Kate welcome back one of the podcast’s most-loved guests Dr. Eric Balcavage, internationally recognized thyroid expert and co-author of The Thyroid Debacle. This conversation is raw, energizing, and packed with clarity as we break down what most people never get told about functional medicine, thyroid health, and the difference between truly recovering your health vs. just managing symptoms.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed by “normal labs,” overwhelmed by Google rabbit holes, this episode will feel like a grounding exhale. Dr. Eric breaks down complex physiology, while Susan and Kate connect it to mindset, trauma patterns, stress, and the psychology behind why so many people stay stuck. It’s empowering, eye-opening, and fun, just what everyday people need to finally understand their health.
In This Episode:
- The real difference between allopathic, integrative, and functional medicine
- Why symptoms are meaningful messages—not random annoyances
