    Oct 8 2025

    In this final episode of the 3-part thyroid series, Dr. Annette Schippel dives deep into the two most misunderstood pieces of the thyroid puzzle: iodine and stress.

    You'll learn:

    • Why iodine was once used to treat every thyroid condition—and why it's now feared

    • How halogens like fluoride, bromide, and chlorine block iodine from doing its job

    • The myth of iodine "allergies" and the real reason some people react

    • Why your thyroid may not be the problem at all—it could be your adrenals

    • How chronic stress, poor sleep, and blood sugar crashes hijack your endocrine system

    • The role of adaptogens, tonics, and quality herbs in restoring balance

    • Practical steps to build resilience, restore thyroid health, and support your hormones naturally

    This episode challenges conventional wisdom and explains how your body works as a system, not in isolated parts. Whether you've been diagnosed, dismissed, or just want to understand your health better—this episode will connect the dots.
