Description

Angela presents a biohack episode alongside previous guest, Christa Biegler, delving into the intricate relationship between thyroid health, sex hormones and overall hormonal balance, particularly focusing on the ovarian-adrenal-thyroid axis (OAT axis).

They focus on the critical role of adrenal function in hormone production and stress response, highlighting the impact of cortisol on various bodily functions.

Key Takeaways

Understanding the ovarian adrenal thyroid axis (OAT axis) is crucial as it involves the production of sex hormones, aldosterone, DHEA, and cortisol, which play vital roles in blood pressure, blood sugar, and stress response.
The adrenal glands are essential for hormone production, especially cortisol, the "darling stress hormone," which affects energy levels, blood flow, and overall organ function.
The thyroid is closely linked to metabolism, with symptoms such as fatigue, hair loss, feeling cold, and mental health issues like depression and anxiety indicating potential thyroid dysfunction.
Pregnancy and postpartum periods can increase the demand for thyroid nutrients, leading to more thyroid-related symptoms like sluggish motility, fungal overgrowth, and dry skin.
Recognising and addressing thyroid symptoms is crucial, as they can impact various bodily systems and functions, highlighting the interconnected nature of hormonal health.

Best Moments

"If you don't have cortisol, you die. It's the most essential. And so that one is almost at the top of the triangle to me."

"I always think your symptoms matter more than your lab results because there's nothing more frustrating to a woman."

"The top thyroid symptoms, which I did not resonate with, I resonated with different ones."

"When you're pregnant and postpartum, your thyroid needs, the nutrients for the thyroid go up dramatically, of course, right?"
