  • Full of misinformation and half truths

    These women are completely out of their depth. I was so excited to listen but was quickly let down. They don’t cite data. They don’t provide research. They aren’t experts in anything. “Doing research” is not reading Instagram posts about vaccines from a chiropractors. Do better.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why your thyroid levels are off with Lauren Papanos
Q: What role does iodine play in thyroid health and how should moms approach iodine supplementation?
Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, but iodine should be introduced after antioxidant support and under guidance, as excessive iodine or improper forms can worsen inflammation; balance with selenium and vitamin C to support utilization and prevent goitrogen-related issues.
Why your thyroid levels are off with Lauren Papanos
Q: How does pregnancy affect thyroid function and what should moms track postpartum?
During pregnancy the thyroid becomes more active to support fetal growth; postpartum there is a sharp hormone drop that can trigger postpartum thyroiditis, potentially causing anxiety and hair loss, and requiring careful monitoring beyond standard ranges.
Why your thyroid levels are off with Lauren Papanos
Q: What are the essential labs that every woman should consider in their annual blood work?
FreeT3 is crucial because it shows the active thyroid hormone, and checking thyroid antibodies (TPO and TG) helps identify autoimmune drivers; other markers like MPO and 8-OHdG give insight into oxidative stress; addressing these root causes often reveals why traditional tests miss the problem.
Child Trafficking, Smart Cities & California’s Future with Lewis Herms
Q: For moms listening, why vote for you?
Herms argues parental rights must be at the core of education policy, advocating for greater parental involvement in schools, support for school choice, and expansion of homeschooling as options for families.
What No One Told Millennial Women About Birth Control, Dr. Halie Schoff
Q: What signs should women look out for in their cycle that might indicate hormonal or other systematic health issues?
Look for subtle cycle-related signs like mood shifts, changes in sleep, appetite fluctuations, and energy levels, which can indicate underlying detox, blood sugar, or hormonal imbalances that merit lifestyle or functional testing.
