Dr. Izabella Wentz: Recovering from Pharmaceuticals, Birth Control, and Thyroid Dysfunction

Do you struggle with symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or anxiety, even though you’re eating well, exercising, and doing everything “right?” You’re not alone, and the answers might lie in your thyroid. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Izabella Wentz, the Thyroid Pharmacist, to help uncover the truth about thyroid dysfunction and what women need to know to reclaim their health. After her own Hashimoto’s diagnosis in her 20s, she became a relentless seeker of root causes—transforming her journey into groundbreaking work that’s changed countless lives.

We explore everything from the hidden connection between thyroid dysfunction and mental health—anxiety, depression, OCD—to the everyday triggers that could be silently sabotaging your thyroid, like environmental toxins, stress, and gut health imbalances. Dr. Wentz also answers the big questions: What labs should you request to get real answers? Does diet or environment play a bigger role in healing? And what’s the deal with gluten intolerance and IBS—are they connected to your thyroid?

Even if you feel stuck or hopeless, Dr. Wentz provides actionable solutions that may hold the key to your recovery. You don’t have to settle for simply managing symptoms—this episode is packed with empowering insights to help you reclaim your energy, mental clarity, and vitality.
