Episode 2: The Supplement Graveyard

You've tried everything. Dose increases. Medication switches. Gluten-free, Paleo, AIP. Supplements that did nothing—or worse, made you nauseous. Maybe you even spent thousands on functional medicine protocols that delivered minimal results.

In this episode, we explore why all of these solutions failed—not because you did them wrong, but because they were never designed to solve the actual problem.

In this episode:

• Why dose increases and medication switches often hit a ceiling
• The truth about diets and lifestyle changes (they help, but can't fix cellular depletion)
• Why most organ supplements cause nausea and end up abandoned in your cabinet
• The expensive functional medicine trap
• Why 78% of endocrinologists close the book after normalizing TSH

Key insight:

Medication gets hormone TO your cells. But something else is needed to get it INSIDE.

Resources mentioned:

• American Thyroid Association treatment resistance data
• Clinical practice pattern surveys in thyroid management
• Supplement quality and bioavailability research
