    How can the thyroid affect the kidneys?

    How can the thyroid affect the kidneys?

    When hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism negatively impacts thyroid function, there’s often a knock-on effect on kidney function. This effect can often be seen in the three primary kidney markers in a comprehensive metabolic panel: blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and eGFR.

    Today, I’m sharing how thyroid disorders impact the kidney, what to look out for with the three markers, and why digging deeper into the root cause is crucial.

    In this episode, you’ll learn about:
    - The three main kidney markers in a comprehensive metabolic panel
    - Optimal ranges and significance of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and eGFR
    - How hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism impact kidney function and each of the three markers



    As always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!

    What Your Thyroid Says about the Rest of Your Health (feat. Reed Davis)

    What Your Thyroid Says about the Rest of Your Health (feat. Reed Davis)

    We want the answer for our symptoms. If you’ve ever felt like you’re searching for the answer or if your doctor says “everything is fine,” but you know it’s not, listen to this!

    On today’s episode Jenn is talking with Reed Davis, the founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition®. Reed is a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP) and Certified Nutritional Therapist (CNT) who utilizes lab work to help his clients make the invisible visible. He shares with us what he looks at when reviewing a lab report that doctors may not be seeing. Reed discusses the importance of thyroid health, but also what clients should focus on before fixating on the thyroid. We then hear the general guidelines for each of his D.R.E.S.S steps and how to focus on whole body health. Tune in today to learn more about what might be being missed when it comes to your health. 

    The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let’s dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.
     

    IN THIS EPISODE: 

    ●  [4:50] How did environmental law lead Reed to the work he does today?

    ●  [13:32] What are the labs that Reed is looking at and how can he see what the doctors aren’t seeing?

    ●  [16:38] How would Reed look at a thyroid test vs how a physician might look at the same test?

    ●  [21:59] What should be looked at before the thyroid is treated?

    ●  [23:58] What are the preferred tools as far as the labs go to look at these elements?

    ●  [30:27] How does Reed in his own life balance everything he knows with functioning in the real world?

    ●  [32:26] How do you remove the neuro-toxins?

    ●  Your lab tests might look “fine” to your doctors, but a functional medicine doctor may be able to see areas that you need to focus on to create optimal health. 

    ●  D.R.E.S.S stands for: Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress Reduction, Supplements. These are the main areas that people need to focus on to create a balanced mind and body. Grab Reed’s free guide here!

    “It’s ridiculous how much stress we’re under. We’re not meant to be living like this.” - Reed Davis

    “We make the invisible, visible.” - Reed Davis

    "You lived yourself into it, you can live yourself out of it.” - Reed Davis

    162// Constipation Remedies Not Working? Find Constipation Relief with These 4 Lab Tests

    162// Constipation Remedies Not Working? Find Constipation Relief with These 4 Lab Tests

    Back in May, I had 15 students join me for the first round of Better Belly Blueprint, my online course + group coaching program that teaches you how to end bloating and constipation - for GOOD.

    These women showed up with months to years of bloating and constipation behind them along with dozens of diets, doctor visits, and natural (or not-so-natural) constipation remedies that they had tried. In my course, I taught them how to order and analyze functional medicine lab tests that came straight to their homes. They also learned how to create a personalized health plan that would help them finally end their gut health problems, balance their hormones, and clear up their skin.

    As I re-open the doors TODAY to the Better Belly Blueprint, I want to share with you EXACTLY what my students found on their labs. One of the most common reservations I find in men and women looking to heal their gut is, "But what if I don't find anything on my labs?"

    If you are tired of that lame excuse from a doctor that "your labs look normal", and you're afraid you'll waste time and money and end up MORE frustrated than before by doing more lab work, then buckle up, because I'm going to share with you exactly HOW MUCH my students found and how YOU can find the same things and heal your gut permanently and find bloating and constipation relief.

    Beyond Thyroid Blood Tests

    There are so many great tests out there that can give us so much information on our health. While it might seem like a great idea to do everything, it’s best to prioritize the tests we really need.

    When working with patients, it’s my job to help each person make an informed decision. There are some tests I commonly recommend and others I’ll suggest based on their cases.

    Today, I’m sharing the tests I most commonly recommend to my patients and the other tests that sometimes provide helpful insights and when and why I would recommend them.

    In this episode, you’ll learn about:
    - The standard tests I commonly recommend and why
    - Why I often recommend adrenal testing and how the results determine the treatment plan
    - Saliva versus dried urine (DUTCH) testing
    - Benefits and limitations of hair mineral analysis testing
    - My thoughts on food sensitivity testing
    - What we can learn from comprehensive stool testing and organic acids testing
    - Testing for SIBO, chronic infections, and toxins

    How Do You Know if You Have Mold in Your Home with Michael Rubino

    How Do You Know if You Have  Mold in Your Home with Michael Rubino
    The Root Cause Medicine Podcast is created by Rupa Health, the best way to order, track & get results from 30+ lab companies in one place. In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Michael Rubino, Founder and President of HomeCleanse. They discuss how mold and mycotoxins in your home could secretly be the reason behind your brain fog, hormone issues, and autoimmune diseases and what you can do about it. Key Takeaways: 1. How Can You Tell You Have Mold in Your House? Typically, the gold standard for identifying mold is an air test. But recent studies show that an air sample three feet away from a mold source misses it. The best way is to screen the house by testing the dust. 2. Minimizing the Mold Impact. Inhalation is one of the most exposed systems of our bodies. People inhale diverse particles all the time, including mold ones. It's impossible to protect ourselves 100%. But we should be aware of these issues and find the best solutions to limit high levels of mold exposure. The goal is not zero, but to keep it under control. 3. What to Look for When Replacing the Filter in Your HVAC System? Every filter has an efficiency rating. You can trace that efficiency down to how small a particle will limit from coming in. MERV 16 filters will stop the smallest particle possible at this current stage. The challenge with HVAC is the thicker the filter, the more it restricts the airflow, which can cause other problems. So, you need something that allows the air to pass through and stops different particle sizes. 4. The Correct Remediation Approach. Remediation is basically making the necessary repairs and improvements to a home that will stop and prevent issues from happening. It also includes removing the living organisms, producing particles and toxins, reproducing rapidly, and then removing those particles and toxins from your environment. As the President of HomeCleanse, formerly known as, All American Restoration and Author of The Mold Medic: An Expert's Guide on Mold Removal, Michael focuses on giving people the resources they need to overcome poor air quality and create a safe home environment. His proprietary Home Detox method is an alternative remediation protocol that removes mold sources and contamination.

We discuss how conditions that are “common” in modern health should by no means be considered “normal”  and the difference between a doctor who labels you with a diagnosis code and a practitioner who identifies your opportunities to heal. Reed and I get into concepts like individualized micronutrient metabolism testing, why Reed no longer uses the phrase “root cause” when it comes to health and we talk about Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. This is one of the more unique, eye opening conversations I’ve had on the podcast and I can’t wait for all of you out there to hear it!

    Action Plan

    This weeks action plan could easily be to get your bloodwork done… again. But that was your action plan last week and I’m confident you all went out and got that done right away! So, this week’s action plan is simply take stock of Reed’s 5 categories of wholistic health - his DRESS Principle:

    Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress Reduction and Supplementation.

    Rate yourself 0-10 on category and write down 3 concrete steps you can take to raise your scores.

    Simple. Actionable. Health.

    What's Next - Make sure you tune in next week for our episode with Ebenezer Samuel and a conversation about the intersections of technology and fitness, why the fun factor is key to exercise adherence and how global accessibility to coaching is changing the game for both coaches and clients. I hope you’ll join me!

    Until next time - we wish you Strength and Good Health.

    86// Overcome Infertility with Sarah Clark of Fab Fertile Inc.
    • Does pregnancy seem like an impossible goal for you?
    • Have you been struggling with fertility, trying method after method to get pregnant - and nothing seems to work?
    • Do you ever feel like you don’t know if you can have hope to get pregnant? Or, do you wonder if you’ll have to rely on an external method, such as donor eggs, to get pregnant?

    Infertility, unfortunately, is becoming more and more common. 

    According to recent studies in 2022, up to 1 in 8 couples will have trouble getting pregnant or sustaining pregnancy in their lifetime. And an estimated 9-11% of men and women will struggle with fertility problems. Infertility is becoming common, but that does not mean it is normal. 

    On today’s episode, I am joined by Sarah Clark, integrative health coach and founder of Fab Fertile Inc. Sarah is an expert in all things fertility, and on today’s episode, we discuss the method behind Sarah’s Signature Fertility Coaching Program and how they help their clients not only heal from infertility but find the root cause of their infertility journey. 

    Almost an entire year ago, I recorded this podcast episode with Sarah Clark, the founder of Fab Fertile Inc., discussing what is causing couples to struggle with infertility. And oddly enough - it’s a lot of the same things that our clients at Better Belly Therapies come to us with who are struggling with gut health problems.

    Intrigued? I know I was!

    Whether or not you have struggled with or are currently struggling with infertility, many of us know someone who is (or will) struggle with it. 

    So I invite you - come, listen, and learn on today's podcast!
