Summary

In this week’s episode, Morgan explores the intricacies of thyroid health with subject matter expert and fellow podcast host Elle Russ. A bestselling author and coach, Elle is a proponent of searching for underlying causes of thyroid problems rather than simply following the conventional practice of treating symptoms. Follow along as Elle takes a deep dive into the differences between hypo- and hyperthyroid conditions, common and outlying symptoms (including fertility issues), testing options, and the potential benefits of adopting a Primal diet. She also shares confidence-boosting tips with Morgan from her latest book, Confident as Fu*k.
