116: McCall McPherson: Hashimoto’s, Weight, and What Your Labs Aren’t Telling You

Ever feel like you’re doing everything right, lifting, eating clean, getting your sleep, but you’re still tired, foggy, and your body just won’t cooperate? Yeah, same. In this episode of BROADS, I sit down with McCall McPherson, thyroid and hormone expert and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic and Modern Weight Loss, to figure out why so many women feel “off” even when the labs say they’re fine. We talk about what your doctor might be missing, the difference between “normal” and optimal, and how to restore your energy, balance your metabolism, and feel more like yourself again. McCall breaks down the truth about Hashimoto’s, how food and stress play a massive role, and why sometimes the smartest move is to lift less and listen more.
