0:25.6	Hey, everyone. Welcome back.
0:27.8	Today I thought we could discuss or kind of circle back to a concept or a few concepts
0:32.8	we've discussed on the podcast in the past, how your gut impacts your thyroid health and really the
0:39.3	fairly substantial impact these two have on one another but i'd say mostly the influence flows
0:47.1	from the gut to the thyroid including thyroid nutrients the impact of immune function and autoimmunity.
0:57.0	And also, if you're on medication, the ability to consistently absorb that medication.
1:04.1	And this is a term that we've published on.
1:07.5	I don't want to say we've coined it, but the gut nutrient thyroid access is certainly something

1:37.9	And this partially reconciles why some people may notice they kind of thrive on maybe a lower carb,
1:48.1	higher fiber and vegetable diet, whereas that will flare other people.
1:52.7	And conversely, some people do well on a lower vegetable, perhaps higher starch diet.
2:05.5	And these two gut types bacterial versus spungal helps reconcile this and gives us some direction with what we can do dietarily. The first
2:11.8	piece here I wanted to kind of put in the board, if you will, is something I came across with working with
2:22.3	Laura. She was on medication, thyroid medication, with her endocrinologist, and the dosing
2:31.1	seemed to be sufficient because her levels were normal, yet she was still complaining
