Listen to this episode from The Wellness Collective with Nat Kringoudis on Spotify. Have you ever felt bone-deep exhaustion that no one could explain? Like your body was begging for help, but your blood tests kept coming back 'normal'? That was McCall McPherson's reality until she discovered the truth about her thyroid.After struggling with debilitating thyroid symptoms and being told her labs were normal, she finally found answers that transformed her health.McCall, founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, explains why so many thyroid conditions are overlooked, the difference between normal and optimal lab ranges, and the tests that are essential for an accurate diagnosis. She shares how thyroid health connects to hormones, mood, metabolism, and fertility, and offers clear steps women can take to support their thyroid and feel better.Key TakeawaysThyroid Symptoms are Often Missed – Fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, brain fog, anxiety, and depression can all be linked to thyroid issues.Optimal Ranges Matter – Lab ranges are often too broad, and optimal levels provide a more accurate view of thyroid health.Comprehensive Testing is Essential – A full thyroid panel with TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, and antibodies gives the clearest picture.Thyroid Health is Linked to Hormones – Low thyroid function can disrupt hormone balance, fertility, and the transition through perimenopause.Lifestyle Choices Make a Difference – Managing stress, eating nutrient-dense foods, and addressing inflammation can support thyroid health.Advocating for Yourself is Powerful – Asking for the right tests and seeking informed care can change your quality of life.Where to Find Our GuestMcCall McPherson’s Website: https://www.modernthyroidclinic.com/McCall McPherson on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mccallmcphersonpaMcCall McPherson on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mccallmcpherson The Complete Thyroid Lab Guide: Understand Your Numbers, Take Back Control: https://gift.modernthyroidclinic.com/ Links & Resources🎁  Nook Sauna Sale: Extra $100 Off for Better Sleep & RecoverySauna-curious?
