Why You Still Don’t Feel Well: Thyroid, Gut Health & Autoimmune Disease with Dr. Jen Mann
What if your thyroid labs look “normal”, but you still don’t feel like yourself?
In this episode of Unscripted, I sit down with Dr. Jen Mann to talk about thyroid health, autoimmune disease, hormones, gut health, and why getting to the root cause of your symptoms matters.
Dr. Jen shares her own journey with autoimmune disease and Hashimoto’s and explains why traditional thyroid testing may not always tell the whole story. We talk about the connection between the gut and immune system, how chronic stress can affect your health, and the role nutrition and lifestyle can play in healing.
We also dive into the differences between conventional and naturopathic medicine, what comprehensive thyroid testing can look like, elimination diets, hormone balance, and why treatment should never be one-size-fits-all.
In this episode, we discuss:
Dr. Jen’s personal journey with Hashimoto’s and autoimmune disease
Why TSH alone may not provide the full picture of thyroid health
The connection between gut health and autoimmune conditions
How stress can affect hormones, thyroid function, and overall health
Conventional vs. naturopathic approaches to treatment
Nutrition and elimination diets
The importance of finding and addressing potential root causes
Whether autoimmune conditions can go into remission
Why personalized treatment matters
If you’ve ever felt like something is “off” despite being told your labs are normal, you’ll want to hear this conversation.
