Lauren Papanos MS, RD, CSSD is a Functional Endocrine & Performance Registered Dietitian and former Director of Performance & Clinical Nutrition at UCLA, specializing in women's thyroid function + hormones. Lauren helps women understand why they still feel off despite 'normal' lab results, using functional nutrition to uncover the thyroid and hormone imbalances conventional testing keeps missing. Her journey mirrors what so many women in your community are experiencing. She overcame hypothyroidism, PCOS, and ovarian dysfunction, restored her health naturally, and went on to have a natural pregnancy. She has 10+ years specializing in thyroid and hormone health, with 5,000+ patients treated worldwide.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • The real differences between an underactive and overactive thyroid
  • Why workouts can leave the body wrecked for days afterward
  • What a genuinely useful thyroid panel looks like, beyond TSH
  • Mold exposure and its impact on thyroid function
  • Why low-carb diets often backfire on thyroid health
  • Postpartum thyroiditis and why it's mistaken for postpartum depression

Lauren's new book, The Thyroid Breakthrough: An Active Woman's Guide to Feeling Better When You've Tried Everything, is up for pre-order now, and releases in January 2027.
