Today I’m joined by an amazing guest, Missy Beavers. Missy is the founder of The Healthy Solution, helping women end the exhausting thyroid battle.
Anyone who has experienced a chronic health condition knows how hopeless it can feel. Missy was diagnosed with Hashimoto Thyroiditis as a child and was made to believe by doctors that she’d be on medication for the rest of her life. As an adult, with a Masters in Nutrition, she created a program that reversed the condition and allowed her to step away from medication.
In this episode, Missy and I dig deeper into why the thyroid is so crucial to your health. We talk about the different signs and symptoms and why you shouldn't settle for "normal" thyroid results when you know something isn't right.
You don’t want to miss:
- Why your thyroid is a BIG deal (Hint… You have thyroid receptors in every single cell in your body!)
- Signs and symptoms that something is off with your thyroid
- Different presentations of thyroid disorders and Missy’s incredible story - weighing in as a high school student at 125kg, despite having a healthy diet
- Why your blood tests might come back as “normal”. What tests you need to have done and why we need to look at the optimal range - the “normal” range is too wide. And the need to push for a full thyroid panel test.
- What your thyroid does.

Thyroid Blood Tests...
If you're off to your GP, here’s a list of thyroid tests that give you a full picture of what’s going on… Always ask for a copy of your results!
- Remember to stop taking any supplements 48 hours before your blood tests to give a true reading
- Continue with any prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your GP....
- TSH, T3, T4
- Anti thyroglobulin (anti-Tg) antibodies
- Antithyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO)
** GP’s don't like to order a full thyroid panel, but this is the simplest way of detecting autoimmune thyroid conditions. If you are showing signs and symptoms, or have a family history, it's certainly worth pushing for!
