Autoimmunity starts in the gut, sometimes fifteen years before it gets a name.

This week on The Medical Disruptor, Dr. Izabella Wentz joins me to talk about the connection between IBS, autoimmunity, and every hormone in the body.

She is a pharmacist and four-time bestselling author who lived with IBS for years before her Hashimoto’s diagnosis, and who got her husband’s ulcerative colitis into remission in six to eight weeks. We get into the three things that have to be present for autoimmunity to develop, why the gut is the starting point, and what to do if IBS has been the only answer you have been given.

The whole point of the Medical Disruptor is to bring you the clinicians who kept asking questions after everyone else stopped.

This week that is Dr. Brittany Henderson, a fellowship trained thyroid specialist from Duke who built her entire practice around the patients conventional medicine kept sending home with normal labs and no answers.

Your TSH is not enough. By the time your standard thyroid test looks off, your body has often been struggling for years. And if you are on levothyroxine and still dragging, still gaining weight, still losing hair, still freezing, that is not in your head.

That is medical gaslighting.

In this episode Dr. Henderson breaks down why the standard thyroid panel misses so much, why the T4 to T3 conversion matters more than most providers know, and why your muscle mass has everything to do with whether your medication is actually working.

This is one of those conversations that will make you question every thyroid appointment you have ever had.

What if the hormone you have been told to avoid is the one you needed all along?

This week on The Medical Disruptor, Dr. Cassie Smith joins me to talk about why estrogen has spent decades on the wrong side of the conversation.

She is a Harvard-trained endocrinologist who built her practice around the science of what hormones actually do in the body, including the ones we have been taught to fear.

We get into why the cancer narrative does not hold up, what hormones actually do for your heart, brain, and bones, and how to think about replacement when you are told it is too risky.
