She is passionate about helping women with thyroid issues find solutions beyond medication through her 16 week program, The Healthy Thyroid System.

They emphasize the frustration of being told that their labs are normal despite feeling awful and the reliance on medication as the only solution. Missy shares her personal experience of struggling with thyroid symptoms for 28 years and her determination to find alternative solutions. The hosts highlight the importance of addressing gut health in order to uncover the root cause of thyroid problems. They explain that 80% of the immune cells in the body are made in the gut, so any issues in the gut can trigger immune system problems and lead to thyroid issues. They discuss the role of sneaky infections like yeast and mold in causing inflammation in the thyroid gland and the need to address gut inflammation to improve thyroid health. **Key Takeaways:** 1. Women with thyroid issues often struggle with symptoms despite being told their labs are normal. 2. Gut health plays a crucial role in thyroid health, as 80% of immune cells are made in the gut. 3. Sneaky infections like yeast and mold can cause inflammation in the thyroid gland and lead to thyroid problems. 4. Removing the thyroid gland does not address the underlying gut inflammation and can lead to ongoing struggles with medication absorption. 5. Birth control and antibiotic use can contribute to gut inflammation and thyroid issues. **Quotes:** - "I can't stand the thought of women being stuck with their only option, being taking a pill every day for the rest of their life." - Missy Beavers - "All disease begins in the gut." - Missy Beavers - "If you have an autoimmune disease, we've got to check your gut." - Missy Beavers - "Your body's not getting what it needs." - Stacey Price - "Your labs become a tool and a support for reaching optimal health." - Missy Beavers
