33. The One That Makes You Rethink Thyroid Health with Victoria Gasparini

Thyroid health affects your energy, metabolism, mood, and more—so it gets blamed a lot when we feel tired and heavy.

In this myth-busting episode, Dr. Sarah sits down with Victoria Gasparini—naturopathic medical graduate, thyroid patient, and the force behind @thefedupthyroid—to unpack the truth about thyroid health. From misunderstood lab results to diet culture traps and misinformation on social media, this conversation will help you see your thyroid (and your body) in a whole new light.

Whether you've been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, are living in the land of “normal” TSH but still feel awful, or just want better energy and metabolism support—this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways:

We dig into why so many women are told their thyroid is “fine”, even when they feel anything but.
We break down the labs that actually give you answers—and the ones your doctor might be missing.
We challenge a lot of the fear-based food advice around thyroid health (spoiler: gluten and goitrogens aren’t the enemy).
We unpack the truth about thyroid meds, weight loss, and why more medication isn’t always better.
And Victoria shares her personal thyroid prescription—the simple shifts that helped her reclaim her energy and feel like herself again.

Victoria Gasparini is a naturopathic medical graduate with a passion for thyroid health and sustainable weight management. After being diagnosed with thyroid disease herself, she created the popular Instagram page @thefedupthyroid to share evidence-based information, lived experiences, and practical tools for those navigating similar challenges.

Victoria’s clinical and personal interests center around helping individuals understand the connection between thyroid function and weight. She is deeply committed to providing supportive, realistic, and science-informed strategies to help people feel empowered in their bodies.

She is also the co-host of the Girls Gone Wellness Podcast, a show dedicated to breaking down wellness myths and exploring evidence-based naturopathic care in a real, relatable way.
