Love It or Leave It: Women's Hormone Health Edition

Your Thyroid Is on Fire and Your Doctor Has No Idea

Your doctor checked your thyroid. They ran one test, saw a normal number, and sent you home. But that one test tells almost nothing about what your thyroid is actually doing. In this episode Dr. Jennifer Hopkins brings back insights from the Beyond Biohacking Conference and breaks down the thyroid conversation most doctors are not having. The labs you actually need, the optimal ranges nobody shared with you, and why undertreated thyroid dysfunction is directly linked to heart attack, dementia, insulin resistance, and early mortality. If you have ever been told your thyroid is fine while your body says otherwise, this episode is for you. 00:00 Normal Isn’t Optimal 00:15 Meet Dr Hopkins 01:15 Why Thyroid Gets Missed 01:57 How Thyroid Works 02:47 TSH Isn’t Enough 04:31 Reverse T3 Explained 06:40 Optimal Lab Targets 11:07 Antibodies And Hashimoto’s 13:31 T4 Only Treatment Trap 15:30 Risks To Heart Brain Metabolism 20:53 Conversion Blockers And Fixes 26:37 Right Tests To Request 27:33 Treatment Options With T3 31:31 Eight Step Action Plan 36:15 Listener Q And A 41:11 Final Takeaways And Wrap

Body, Breath and Somatic Healing

Dr. Jennifer Hopkins welcomes Sarah Felco to discuss mind-body-spirit alignment and how unprocessed emotions and trauma are stored in the body. They explore practical ways to calm the nervous system and clear mental chatter through breathwork, yoga, qigong, tapping, time in nature, and reflection on bodily signals like digestion and pain. Sarah explains somatic vocal sound healing (“scream therapy”) and other release practices such as singing, shaking, dancing, and orgasm, emphasizing that moving energy can create lightness and reduce triggers that may show up as migraines, gut issues, anxiety, or depression. The conversation also covers forgiveness, boundaries, relationship dynamics, and spiritual tools including working with archangels and the violet consuming flame.
