027 Solving the Thyroid Mystery w/ Inna Topiler

The Case:

This episode, we’re not looking at just one case, we’re looking at many.

  • More than 12% of the population will develop a thyroid condition in their lifetime.
  • Thyroid symptoms vary but may affect energy levels, weight, and mood.
  • Women are more likely to suffer from a thyroid condition.

The Investigation

There’s so much confusion around the thyroid. Symptoms can often be explained away as other things - like poor sleep, poor diet, poor exercise habits. The sad part is, these easy explanations can be a part of the missed symptoms.

And, conventional medicine tends to diagnose thyroid issues using only one test. This means that many people, including those with Hashimoto’s may be misdiagnosed or not have the full picture.

In order to truly understand the thyroid and solve thyroid issues, you need the whole picture and you need to get to the root of the problem.

Thyroid Expert

Over the years, I’ve become very familiar with this issue because of the countless clients who come into my office complaining of symptoms I know are related to their thyroid but they tell me that their doctor has told them that their levels are normal. I also know all about it because I personally went through it too. I went through the frustration of being told my thyroid was fine. I went through the doctor’s failing to diagnose my Hashimoto’s. And, I went through years of not properly treating this condition.

Hypothyroidism 101

In this episode, I’m demystifying hypothyroidism and giving you everything you need to know about having an underactive thyroid gland. Many people think that thyroid issues only affect your energy levels. In fact, the thyroid impacts everything in the body including your hair, skin, digestion, brain, and bones. The thyroid can also affect your fertility and how well your organs functions - especially your liver. Thyroid hormones are needed for every cell in your body - so we should never underestimate how it can impact our wellbeing if it’s not functioning properly.

Symptoms of an Underactive Thyroid

The most common symptom, and the one most people think of is fatigue or a general lack of energy. There are many other potential symptoms of an underactive thyroid including dry skin, brittle nails, thinning hair, sensitivity to cold, constipation, brain fog, irregular menstrual periods, weight gain, hoarseness of the voice, muscle aches and cramps, low blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, fertility challenges, and sleep irregularities. There are other symptoms too but these are the most common. However, not all hypothyroid patients will experience all of these symptoms. In fact, it’s common for them to have a variety of symptoms that could change over time.

Misdiagnosis of Hypothyroidism

Many people who have hypothyroidism are misdiagnosed or a diagnosis is just plain missed. This happens because doctors have a strict set of guidelines for diagnosis (which is different depending on where you live). Doctors who have patients that don’t fall into the guidelines, will often rule out a thyroid issue without doing any further testing. There are a number of additional tests that should be run, but these don’t fit into the conventional approach to diagnosing thyroid conditions. I go into detail as to why and how this happens in this episode.

Understanding TSH

Anyone who has ever had their thyroid tested has to try to make sense of a hormone called TSH. This is often where confusion sets in. In this episode, I explain all the T’s involved in thyroid function including the TRH (the activation signal from your brain to your pituitary gland), TSH (the signal from your pituitary to your thyroid) and the T3 and T4 that the thyroid makes in response. T3 is the active hormone that is needed by the body and can be absorbed and used by your cells while T4 is called a pro hormone which has to be converted to T3 in order to be used. A lot can go wrong with the production and absorption of these two hormones and signals can get crossed - triggering the thyroid to stop or slow down production.

Get the Right Tests for Hypothyroidism

Conventional blood tests for hypothyroidism only looks at the TSH level. This can result in misleading information. The result is that up to 50% of patients with hypothyroidism are misdiagnosed or given treatment plans that don’t address the real issues. That’s usually when they end up at my office. We have to look at the whole picture.

Here is what I recommend patients get tested (either through their family doctor or alternative health practitioner):

  • TSH
  • Total T4
  • Total T3
  • Free T4
  • Free T3
  • REVERSE T3
  • Thyroid Antibodies

Assessing Your Lab Results

So often, a doctor will tell you that your test results are ‘normal’. That means that according to their guidelines, they fall into the normal range. You may have subclinical hypothyroidism but you won’t hear it from them. It’s important that you see your results. Here are the optimal ranges you should be in:

  • TSH
  • 1.8- 3.0 though if you are on thyroid medication, this should be even a bit lower, from around .8 to 2
  • Total T4
  • 6.0-12.0
  • Total T3
  • 100-150
  • Free T4
  • 1.0-1.5
  • Free T3
  • 3.0-4.0
  • REVERSE T3
  • Less than 17
  • Thyroid Antibodies
  • Undetectable or as low as possible

Be Your Own Health Advocate

My aim is for the information in this episode to empower you to take control of your health. Use it to ask the right questions, get the right tests, and understand the results. You can’t fully diagnose or manage hypothyroidism if you don’t have the whole picture.

Eliminating Health Mysteries

If the symptoms we talked about in this episode feel familiar, make sure you dig deep enough to solve your own health mystery. If these symptoms or medical frustrations sound like someone you know, make sure you share this episode with them.

196 Why Positive Thinking Can Backfire with Hashimoto’s with Anat Peri

196 Why Positive Thinking Can Backfire with Hashimoto’s with Anat Peri

In this powerful episode, Inna is joined by transformational leader and inner child expert Anat Peri to explore an unexpected twist in the Hashimoto’s healing journey. Together, they dive into the case of Jessica, who was doing all the “right” things, following the AIP diet, taking supplements, working on her mindset, but still felt exhausted and stuck. Her symptoms weren’t improving, and her doctor’s solution was to increase her medication yet again.The turning point came when she uncovered something deeper. Jessica was trying so hard to stay positive, think positive, do her affirmations because that is what she was told she should be doing. However by doing that, she was unintentionally overriding her true emotions and it made her feel way worse.Anat explains how this kind of forced positivity can be a detriment because it can actually create stress in the nervous system, keeping the body in a chronic state of fight, flight, or freeze. This episode unpacks how overriding your feelings can actually worsen autoimmune symptoms and why true healing starts with emotional safety.Anat also shares the science behind how the nervous system reacts faster than the conscious mind, how inner child work helps create safety, and why nervous system regulation must come before mindset work can truly be effective. From breathwork to sensation naming to reparenting tools, you’ll learn how to create space for your emotions and support your healing from the inside out.This episode is an essential listen for anyone who has tried it all and still feels like something is missing. It might not be about doing more. It might be about feeling more.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/positive-thinking-hashimotos-anat-peri/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Hashimoto’s at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

195 The Surprising Empath–Thyroid Connection with Kristen Schwartz

195 The Surprising Empath–Thyroid Connection with Kristen Schwartz

If you have Hashimoto’s, there’s a very real chance you’re also an empath and you may not even realize it.This matters more than you think. Because when you’re highly sensitive and constantly absorbing everything around you (other people’s energy, emotions, even stress), your nervous system takes the hit. And when the nervous system is in overdrive, it becomes very hard to heal, no matter how clean your diet is or how many supplements you take.In this episode, Inna is joined by trauma-informed coach and empath expert Kristen Schwartz to talk about something that’s rarely discussed in the Hashimoto’s world: how being an unrecognized empath can be one of the biggest hidden blocks to healing. Kristen breaks down how fatigue, overstimulation, anxiety, heart palpitations, and even sleep issues can all trace back to nervous system dysregulation and how this shows up differently in sensitive people.You’ll learn how to tell if this is what’s really happening in your body, how to start regulating (without adding more to your to-do list), and how to gently reconnect to yourself without pressure or performance. Kristen shares simple but powerful shifts that help you reclaim your energy, feel safe in your body again, and finally get unstuck.If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but still feel wired, tired, or anxious, this conversation could be the missing link. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of what’s really going on under the surface and what to do about it.----------For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/empath-thyroid-connection-kristen-schwartz/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Hashimoto’s at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

194 Conflicting Hashimoto’s Advice: How To Find Your Path to Healing

194 Conflicting Hashimoto’s Advice: How To Find Your Path to Healing

When you’re living with Hashimoto’s,  it’s easy to end up overwhelmed, especially when you’re getting conflicting advice from different practitioners. In this episode, Inna shares a real-life case where a client was stuck in that very situation, caught between protocols and unsure how to move forward.

Together, they talk about how tuning into your intuition can help you navigate confusing symptoms, make better health decisions, and even uncover emotional patterns that might be affecting your thyroid.They dive into what intuition really is (and why we all have it), how it relates to the throat chakra and the thyroid, and why emotional triggers such as indecision or self-doubt can sometimes do just as much damage as physical ones.

193 Root Canals, Cavities, and Hashimoto’s: What Your Dentist Isn’t Telling You with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen

193 Root Canals, Cavities, and Hashimoto’s: What Your Dentist Isn’t Telling You with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen

When a patient has tried every clean-eating plan, every supplement protocol, and every practitioner,  but is still exhausted, anxious, and foggy  it’s time to look where no one else has. In this episode, Inna teams up with functional dentist Dr. Michelle Jorgensen to explore a very overlooked trigger and aggravator for Hashimoto’s symptoms: your mouth.Through the case of “Cindy,” a Hashimoto’s patient who did everything right but still wasn’t getting better, Inna and Dr. Michelle reveal how hidden dental infections, past root canals, and even the materials used in old dental work can silently drive inflammation and autoimmune flares. What looks like “perfect” dental health on X-rays might actually be masking deep, ongoing issues that most conventional dentists never catch.Dr. Michelle brings her unique insight as a dentist-turned-health detective, showing how problems like cavitations, mixed metals, and even mouth breathing can create a ripple effect on the immune system, the microbiome, and the thyroid. She also explains how to safely investigate and address these issues  and why healing often requires asking the questions no one else is asking.This episode opens a powerful new conversation for anyone with Hashimoto’s who still doesn’t feel well despite doing “everything right” and exactly what you can do to explore what your mouth is trying to tell you.----------For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/root-canals-cavities-hashimotos-dentist-dr-michelle-jorgensen/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Hashimoto’s at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall
