📣 Lori Hill spent years chasing one diagnosis after another before she found the thread connecting all of it. Her Hashimoto's didn't start with her thyroid. It started with a virus nobody had mentioned to her before.
📋 Lori Hill is a personal trainer, nutrition coach, and the founder of MetFix Method, a metabolic health gym built on the belief that chronic disease can be rolled back, not just managed. Robyn met Lori at the Menlo Park screening of The Cholesterol Code — and this conversation is what happened when they finally sat down together. Lori walks through the long, layered version of her health story: undiagnosed insulin resistance from childhood, a body that nearly didn't survive childbirth, a misdiagnosed parasite infection that went untreated for nine months, and an autoimmune thyroid condition she traced back to a latent Epstein-Barr infection. She also talks about perimenopause, hormone replacement done right, and how a carnivore reset became an unexpected turning point in her 49th year.
🔑 What You'll Learn
- How a latent Epstein-Barr infection can drive autoimmune thyroid disease
- What an undiagnosed parasite infection can do to gut health and mental clarity over time
- Why hormone replacement without progesterone can backfire for women in perimenopause
- What changed when Lori tested a carnivore approach on herself before recommending it to clients
- How MetFix and the Broken Science Initiative are training coaches to address root cause, not just symptoms
