#49 Plasma Donations and Protein

Case Study: Plasma Donations and Proteins What could go wrong with simply donating plasma for the purposes of money and a very good cause of helping those who have a need for plasma? There are counter risks to donating plasma at such a frequency that your body suffers with protein deficiency. This episode is about a real scenario that happened with one of my most least likely patient’s to have a protein problem, or even the type of injury sustained from a situation he would typically be able to perform with his eyes closed and one hand behind his back. The science and physiology behind the role protein plays in homeostasis is paramount, extremely overlooked in the fitness/health space and can manifest in many ways.

The Thyroid Truth: Beyond TSH and T4 — "Why Two Tests Just Don’t Cut It”

In this enlightening and mildly entertaining episode, Dr. Wade Anunson pulls back the curtain on one of the most overlooked areas in modern health care—the incomplete thyroid panel. If you’ve ever been told your thyroid is “normal” but still struggle with fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, or hair loss, this episode is your aha moment. Most doctors check only TSH and T4, a narrow snapshot of a much more intricate hormonal orchestra. Dr. Wade explains why this limited view can miss the real upstream causes of thyroid dysfunction—like adrenal stress, nutrient deficiencies, poor liver conversion, and cellular resistance. He dives deep into the downstream effects of a sluggish thyroid on metabolism, mood, and mitochondrial health, painting a vivid picture of how interconnected your endocrine system truly is. You’ll learn what a comprehensive thyroid panel should include—free T3, reverse T3, thyroid antibodies (TPO & TgAb), and even the overlooked macronutrient foundations. With Dr. Wade’s signature clarity and humor, you’ll discover how to think functionally, test smarter, and finally connect the dots between your symptoms and the deeper imbalances driving them. Whether you’re a clinician seeking clarity or a listener on a mission to reclaim your energy, this episode redefines what it means to “check your thyroid.” It’s not just about numbers—it’s about restoring balance, vitality, and confidence in your body’s innate intelligence. Full Thyroid Panel: TSH, T3, T4, T3 Uptake, Free T3, Reverse T3, Free T4, FTI, Thyroglobulin Ab, Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) 🔗 Listen now on Life Force Radio — and learn why the right testing can change everything.
