    611: How to Heal Your Thyroid and Address Weight Resistance in Midlife with McCall McPherson

    Feeling drained, gaining weight in new places, or dealing with nagging brain fog—but chalking it up to “just midlife”? 

    You might be missing a key piece of the puzzle: 

    Your thyroid.

    I know this firsthand. 

    Before I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in my 30s, I spent years powering through exhaustion, thinning hair, unexplained weight gain (over 30 pounds!), and mood swings—thinking it was just life catching up with me. 

    But ignoring the signs only made things worse.

    That’s why I’m thrilled to welcome McCall McPherson, founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic and Modern Weight Loss, to this week’s podcast. 

    McCall’s journey from frustrated thyroid patient to one of today’s top hormone experts fuels her innovative, no-stone-unturned approach. 

    She’s helped thousands of women heal their thyroids, balance hormones, and reclaim their energy—without guesswork.

    In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

    • Spot the real signs of a thyroid issue your doctor might miss.
    • Advocate for a full thyroid panel beyond standard labs.
    • Balance hormones and metabolism through targeted treatments.
    • Discover how GLP-1 medications reduce inflammation and support long-term health.

    If you’ve ever wondered if something deeper is going on or whether your thyroid could be to blame...

    Tune in now for real answers and expert-backed solutions!

    IN THIS EPISODE

    • The often-overlooked symptoms of thyroid dysfunction that mimic “just midlife” struggles—like fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight gain, thinning hair, cold hands and feet, low libido, and mood swings
    • How perimenopause can trigger or worsen thyroid issues.
    • The must-have thyroid labs your doctor probably isn’t running.
    • Why “normal” labs might not mean your thyroid is healthy.
    • Surprising ways GLP-1 medications reduce inflammation and reverse Hashimoto’s.
    • How to maintain muscle mass, boost energy, and balance hormones—even in midlife.

    QUOTES

    "By the time you're hitting perimenopause, you really need to be screening yourself annually in an in-depth manner because most likely you have a thyroid issue." 


    "Both thyroid and perimenopause hormone dysfunction are two things that can very readily be addressed and fixed in so many women. It’s not something to just blow off and live with." 


    "When you have low functioning thyroid, you start to lose progesterone and testosterone early on. It’s like a seesaw—once progesterone drops, estrogen becomes too heavy, making balance difficult without proper support." 


    "Midsection fat gain during perimenopause isn’t just frustrating—it’s a direct health risk, linked to higher morbidity, earlier death, and chronic inflammation. It's common but should never be considered normal." – McCall McPherson


    "It's damaging to tell women to 'eat less and exercise more' when they have underlying hormone or thyroid issues. Many women are doing everything right and still can't lose weight because deeper imbalances are at play." – McCall McPherson

    No matter how many times we hear it..

    When our hormones begin to shift, it can still feel like no one prepared you for what’s coming. 

    I’ll never forget the moment I realized I was officially in perimenopause: 

    At 44, I felt an overwhelming sense of dread, bouts of rage I couldn’t explain, and the exhaustion of crawling through mud just to get through the day. 

    As someone who has supported thousands of women through midlife transitions, I knew exactly what was happening—and yet, I wasn’t prepared for how destabilizing it would feel.

    In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

    • Recognize the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of early perimenopause.
    • Reclaim the belief that you deserve to feel good—and how to make it happen.
    • Build rituals that bring more joy, energy, and presence into your daily life.
    • Set fierce boundaries and let go of what no longer serves you.
    • Use this window of opportunity to lay the foundation for your healthspan and longevity.

    607: The Hidden Gut & Metabolic Dangers of Microplastics with Dr. Vincent Pedre

    Imagine if hundreds of tiny particles you can’t even see were making their way deep into your body’s tissues—affecting everything from your hormones to your weight, mood, gut health, brain, and more. 

    Every. Single. Day. 

    This isn’t some weird sci-fi movie plot. 

    It’s the reality we’re living with microplastics.

    Which is why I’m SO excited to welcome Dr. Vincent Pedre to my podcast this week!

    Dr. Pedre, an integrative gut health expert, author, and my go-to resource for all things microbiome, is here to bring you up to speed on the hidden threat of microplastics on your well-being. 

    From that “harmless” coffee lid to the convenient food containers you use every day, microplastics are everywhere.

    And they’re hijacking your gut and wreaking havoc on your hormones, weight, mood, and brain.  

    But don’t worry—we’ve got your back. 

    You’re about to hear ALL the latest science, solutions, and practical steps you can take to reduce your exposure and restore your gut NOW.

    So if you’re ready to get ahead of the game when it comes to protecting yourself and your family from this invisible invader…

    Tune in now for this life-changing conversation!

    IN THIS EPISODE

    • The everyday sources of microplastics—like coffee cups and takeout containers—that may be affecting your health
    • How microplastics act as endocrine disruptors and mimic estrogen, throwing hormones out of balance
    • The surprising role of microplastics in gut health issues like dysbiosis and leaky gut

    • Real-life tips from Dr. Pedre to reduce your exposure to microplastics every day
    • How making a few key changes in your routine can make a huge difference for your hormone and gut health

    QUOTES

    "Microplastics are the rising hidden danger that is a threat to our health, to our metabolism, to our hormones, that is right under our noses...and they are being consumed without people realizing it."

    "Every time you drink a hot beverage through a plastic lid, you’re absorbing microplastics that can act like estrogen in the body—scrambling your hormones and disrupting everything from weight to mood."

    "Microplastics break down the gut’s mucus layer, overgrow harmful bacteria, and eventually lead to leaky gut. Once you have leaky gut, the pathway to inflammation is wide open."

    "We’re exposed to microplastics everywhere. So the best line of defense is to be really mindful—use glass, use stainless steel, and avoid heating food or drinks in plastic."

    "Even our coffee makers can be a source of microplastic exposure. If your coffee maker has plastic tubing or a plastic reservoir, hot water is leaching microplastics into your coffee every day."

    Menopause isn’t just a biological milestone—it’s a whole-body shift. The truth is, your hormones don’t stop affecting you; they just change how they interact with your body.”


    For so long, women have been told to ‘just deal with it.’ But that’s a huge myth. There are real options out there to make this stage of life vibrant and powerful.”

    Have you been on the fence about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and unsure which—if any—options are even right for you? 


    You’re not alone.


    And you don’t have to navigate it blindly.


    In this week’s podcast, we’re diving straight into what most doctors aren’t telling women about HRT. 


    Whether it’s static versus cyclic dosing, the benefits of bioidentical hormones, or how to get the most out of progesterone and estrogen

    Certified hormone expert Karen Martel is here to help you cut through the confusion.


    She’s revealing why the one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for hormone therapy, especially during perimenopause and menopause.


    And how you can tailor HRT to meet your specific needs. 

    Together, we’ll uncover the pros and cons of different HRT options, ways to maximize your body’s natural rhythm, and essential questions to ask your practitioner to get real results.


    If you’ve been waiting for clarity and confidence to make your decision around HRT…

    QUOTES

    The reality is that most practitioners aren’t trained in bioidentical hormones, yet they’re the ones deciding what’s ‘safe’ or ‘effective.’ They’re making calls about our hormones without really understanding what women actually need.”


    Hormone therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every woman deserves options that are tailored to her unique body, especially through perimenopause and menopause.”


    Don’t let anyone dictate what you should feel during perimenopause. Test, experiment, and advocate for yourself—it’s your life, your body, and your hormones.”


    Women are often afraid of hormone replacement, but bioidentical hormones are identical to what our bodies naturally make. They’re as natural to us as our own biology.”
