In this episode of Thyroid Answers, Dr. Eric Balcavage sits down with pharmacist and bestselling author Dr. Izabella Wentz to revisit one of the most misunderstood conditions in modern medicine — Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

They explore how new research and clinical experience are reshaping what we know about autoimmune thyroid disease, why so many women still struggle with fatigue, weight gain, and brain fog despite "normal" thyroid labs, and what it really takes to recover thyroid function from the inside out.

Dr. Wentz and Dr. Balcavage break down the differences between managing Hashimoto's with medication and restoring thyroid health through the Adaptive Thyroid Model™, focusing on root causes suc as gut health, inflammation, hormone balance, and stress physiology.

Key Topics:

What most doctors miss about Hashimoto's and autoimmune thyroiditis
The connection between stress, sleep, gut health, and thyroid autoimmunity
Why "normal labs" can hide ongoing thyroid dysfunction
How estrogen, cortisol, and inflammation alter thyroid hormone conversion
The role of diet, supplements, and lifestyle in reversing Hashimoto's patterns
How to know if your low T3 is adaptive — not failure
And more ...
