On the thyroid function optimization and circadian health
Podcast episode spanning thyroid hormones, sleep, quantum biology and my personal mission to help families overcome fear of sunlight and fear of the dark alike
The first time I ever heard of the thyroid was when one of my grandfathers told me he always eats a half-sheet of nori with his breakfast because thyroid issues run in our family.
It wasn’t until years later that I could even point to where in the body the thyroid was (on the front of your neck), or describe what it did (epigenetic timekeeper via the release of thyroid hormones).
Lately, I’ve found myself passing my grandfather’s advice along, because these days, it seems more and more common to hear of thyroid issues.
Why is the thyroid such a problem these days?
The thyroid is an endocrine sensor positioned vulnerably at your throat, constantly absorbing temperature, light, and vocal vibrations.
My recent appearance on the Compromized to Alchemized podcast with Dr. Neel Bulchandani began by tracing how this single gland acts as timekeeper for your entire system, translating circadian rhythms into an epigenetic fingerprint that should be optimizing you for your local environment.
But what happens when your thyroid is hearing “noise” rather than a clear signal?
Here’s where you can tune in (be aware, there were some mild technical and connectivity issues but they shouldn’t interfere too much—ironic given the subject matter 😉):
Neel and I will be doing a Substack Live where you can attend and ask us questions in real time on February 3rd. RSVP for free here:
Dr. Neel is a specialist in floor of the mouth, tongue ties and fascia.

My friend Amanda Conta Steencken recently hosted a thyroid webinar that helped put even more of the pieces together about this important biological hub:
My friend and colleague Carrie Bennet also has a course on the thyroid that offers another layer of depth for those that need it.
And I wrote a quick post in 2024 after I encountered a piece of research that finally clicked it all in place for me:
