Thyroid markers to test:
- TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): A brain hormone that signals your thyroid gland to produce more or less thyroid hormone.
- Free T4 (Free Thyroxine): The main storage hormone produced by your thyroid that is active, unbound, and available for your body to use.
- Free T3 (Free Triiodothyronine): The highly active form of the thyroid hormone that directly controls your metabolism and cellular energy production.
- TPOAb (Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies): An autoimmune marker used to detect if your immune system is mistakenly attacking your thyroid gland.
- TgAb (Thyroglobulin Antibodies): An antibody marker tested alongside TPOAb to help identify autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's or Graves' disease.

![The Mineral Disaster Making People Sick [Iodine, Magnesium, Copper]
The mineral disaster is making people sick with Morley Robbins. Head to http://DrinkLMNT.com/theprimalpodcast to get your free sample pack with any purchase.
Is your healthy supplement routine actually causing mineral imbalances? Today, we are joined by Morley Robbins, creator of the Root Cause Protocol, to expose the systemic mineral dysregulation that is driving modern chronic illness.
While many focus on iron levels, Morley reveals why the real mineral disaster lies in copper deficiency, magnesium depletion, and the vital role of bioavailable iodine. We break down how iron toxicity and copper dysregulation sabotage your mitochondria and lead to the exhaustion, metabolic issues, and health crises we see today.
In This Episode, We Reveal:
- The Root Cause Protocol: Why modern health issues are often rooted in mineral metabolism rather than just bad genes.
- The Iron-Copper Connection: The critical role of ceruloplasmin and why simple iron supplementation may be causing more harm than good.
- The Magnesium Gap: Why 90% of the population is deficient and how it impacts cellular energy production.
- Iodine Deficiency: Why this essential trace element is the missing link for thyroid and adrenal health.

![Dr Jason Fung: NEW Scientific Way To Burn Fat [EAT THIS]
The fastest way to lose weight is not about calories, it’s about hunger with Dr Jason Fung. Head to http://DrinkLMNT.com/theprimalpodcast to get your free sample pack with any purchase.
Dr. Jason Fung discusses the misconceptions surrounding calorie counting and weight loss, emphasizing the importance of understanding hunger mechanisms, the role of insulin, and the impact of ultra-processed foods. He advocates for fasting as a natural and effective method for weight management and highlights the significance of community and mindset in achieving lasting change.
Takeaways
* Calorie restriction has a high failure rate for long-term weight loss.
* Understanding the root causes of hunger is crucial for effective weight management.
* The advice to cut calories often leads to fat shaming and blame on individuals.
* There are three types of hunger: homeostatic, hedonic, and conditioned hunger.
* Fasting can help reset hunger signals and reduce overall appetite.
* Ultra-processed foods contribute to obesity by maximizing hedonic hunger while minimizing satiety.
* Community support plays a vital role in successful weight loss journeys.
* Mindset shifts are essential for changing eating behaviors and habits.
* Insulin and hormones significantly influence body fat storage and hunger.
* Eating whole foods and avoiding refined carbohydrates can help manage weight effectively.
