Unfortunately most doctors don’t do thorough thyroid lab panels, causing many to suffer with a very treatable condition.

And just as frustrating many are taking thyroid medications that aren’t working. In fact, for some these synthetic medications are actually more harm than good.

In this podcast Dr. Rodger Murphree discusses low thyroid symptoms, causes, testing and treatment.

Of all the health challenges people face one of the toughest is chronic pain.

It is a fact that if you have chronic pain, only another person with chronic pain can truly understand how it feels. For many of you, it is frustrating to know you have pain but have little hope of a diagnosis, let alone relief. Many chronic conditions such as tension headaches, fibromyalgia, IBS, migraines, and myofascial pain may be a result of CSS (Central sensitivity syndrome).

It can also cause widespread and persistent pain and pain from touching (allodynia). This is one of many causes of pain. But there are numerous other causes that are often missed or mistreated. In an individual without chronic pain, receptors in our ligaments, muscles, skin, and joints detect tissue damage. This damage can be from inflammation, injury, or disease. Numerous neurotransmitters that exist in each cell send electrical impulses from the pain receptor, through the peripheral nerve, up the spinal cord, finally ending at your brain.

When you suffer an injury, you may develop acute or “short-term” pain from inflammation or damage. Eventually, the acute pain subsides though the length of time it takes to heal varies based on your injury. The cause of acute pain is known and, therefore, the course it will take is usually predictable. If you think about a needle pricking your finger, you can see that the sensation is always the same. The pain goes from your finger, up your arm, and to your brain in relatively the same way. This is not the case with chronic pain.

However, for many, the source of and answer too their chronic pain isn’t known.

There are numerous causes of chronic pain. Many go unchecked and untreated.

If you have issues with chronic or acute pain please take time to watch my interview with pain specialist Leslie Parran. Leslie has an incredible medical background, one that allows her help those with chronic pain and inflammation find the source and appropriate treatment for their chronic pain.

Bloating, Gas, Constipation, Loose Bowel Movements, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Heartburn

One estimate is that 40% of the US population has some degree of esophageal reflux, with 20% of adults complaining of weekly episodes of heartburn and 7–10% complaining of daily symptoms. Esophageal reflux occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter malfunctions, allowing the backward flow of acid, bile, and other contents from the stomach into the esophagus.

Fortunately there are some tried and true NATURAL remedies for heartburn.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Over 40 million Americans who have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bowel movements are an important topic. Some experts report that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects approximately 10–20% of the general population. Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by a group of symptoms in which abdominal pain or discomfort is associated with a change in bowel pattern, such as loose or more frequent bowel movements or diarrhea, and/or hard or less frequent bowel movements or constipation.

Gender plays a clear role as more than 80 percent of IBS patients are women between 20 and 55 years old. The financial burden of IBS is high. In the United States IBS results in an estimated $8 billion in direct medical costs and $25 billion in indirect costs annually.

Again, fortunately there are some proven natural remedies for IBS. We discuss these in the podcast.

Could your chronic pain, fatigue, weight gain, headaches, anxiety, depression, IBS, brain fog, high cholesterol, and other symptoms be from low thyroid function?

In fact, low thyroid function is a common cause of theses numerous other unwanted symptoms.

And unfortunately conventional “standard” blood tests (TSH and Total T4) aren’t thorough enough to catch low thyroid problems.

In this podcast, I’m going to share the importance of optimal thyroid function.

• The symptoms associated with hypothyroidism.
• How too properly diagnosis a problem with your thyroid.
• How you can self-test to uncover if you have a low thyroid function.
• And most importantly proven protocols for correcting low thyroid to boost your mental and physical energy, reduce or eliminate chronic pain, anxiety, depression, excess weight, headaches, high cholesterol, brain fog, IBS, and more.

It’s estimated that 1% of the population is suffering from hypothyroidism. This number is widely disputed. *Many scientist, researchers and physician’s believe as many as 40% of the population has hypothyroidism. Every cell in the body depends on having enough thyroid hormone. If your thyroid gland becomes dysfunctional, every cell in the body suffers.

About My Guest, Inna Topiler:

Inna is the Founder of Complete Nutrition and Wellness – an integrative nutrition practice – and the host of Health Mysteries Solved Podcast.
Inna is also the Co-Founder of Pregnaceuticals, a prenatal nutrition line and the Co-Founder of My Custom Cleanse. 

As a little girl, she remembers always being sick and not feeling well. By 20, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, suffered from several digestive disorders, had major skin issues and was chronically exhausted. With all those issues though, doctors were not able to tell her where they came from or offer many treatments aside from heavy duty medications.
She did not want to commit to a lifetime of drugs only to treat her symptoms. After many stops to a myriad of specialists (who by the way never talked to each other) and several years of frustration and feeling like she was not any closer to discovering answers, she found a clinical nutritionist and a functional medicine practitioner that helped her figure out the root causes of her issues and how they were all interrelated. She learned she had major mercury toxicity (she has 16 amalgams and was vaccinated twice after moving to America at the age of 9), her adrenals were shot, her thyroid was not supported properly, she had parasites and candida, she was sensitive to gluten and dairy and had a multitude of vitamin and mineral deficiencies all leading to the health ailments she was experiencing.

She was so impacted by her recovery that she changed her career. After her original business degree, Inna completed a master’s program in human nutrition at the University of Bridgeport and went on to complete a food based program at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. She got certified as a nutrition specialist by the American College of Nutrition and constantly maintains her degree with various courses to stay current with the newest research and continually expands her knowledge.

Since starting her practice in 2006, she has helped thousands of patients get to the root of their underlying health issues and reclaim their health. Inna has been featured in various publications such as Fitness, Elle and the New York Times and is often referred by various medical doctors who seek her help. She is sought after not only in New York but also nationally and internationally. With the ease of phone consultations, Inna works with patients all over the globe.
