In this episode I talk more about thyroid metabolism and how to support with a systemic approach. As well as a focus on nutrients in, toxins out.

Hair analysis shows additional and different information about thyroid activity than blood tests do and I feel it's incredibly valuable. Blood thyroid tests do not reveal much about thyroid physiology or metabolism. They usually only measure circulating hormones (T3 and T4) and pituitary stimulation of the thyroid (TSH). HTMA is excellent to help assess thyroid difficulties. It can indicate imbalances in many steps involved in thyroid hormone metabolism. 

Imbalances can occur at any stage of the production or utilization of thyroid hormone. The concepts of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are incomplete and often misleading as they only relate to hormone production and release.

There’s a quiet intelligence in your body that knows how to heal, if you remember how to listen. Rewilded Wellness is a conversation about returning to that conversation-the one between you and the natural world that shaped our biology. Host Lydia Joy guides these explorations, moving beyond generic advice to examine personalized, nature-inspired approaches to well-being. Episodes weave together functional nutrition, mindful movement, and mental resilience practices, all through the lens of our inherent connection to the environment. You’ll hear discussions on how seasonal eating aligns with our internal rhythms, why physical movement is more than just exercise, and ways to cultivate a mindset that supports sustainable health. This isn’t about adding more complexity to your life; it’s about stripping back the noise to access the foundational wisdom we all carry. The podcast operates on the core idea that vibrant health is an active partnership with the wildness within and around us. Tune in for grounded, thoughtful dialogues that reframe healing not as a destination, but as a daily practice of realignment and trust in your own capacity.
