by Amy Myers, MD
Conventional Medicine Failed Me and It Is My Mission to Not Have It Fail You Too℠ Are you tired of being dismissed by your doctor, told it's all in your head, or that your fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and mood swings are just a normal part of aging? Perhaps you've been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, a thyroid condition such as Hashimoto's or Graves' disease, leaky gut, Candida overgrowth, SIBO, parasites, toxic mold exposure, or Lyme disease — and your doctor still cannot get to the root cause. You are not alone, and you are in the right place. Dr. Amy Myers, MD is a former ER physician, functional medicine pioneer, and living proof that another way is possible. In her second year of medical school she was diagnosed with Graves' disease, placed on suppressive medication, and ultimately had her thyroid ablated with radioactive iodine I-131 — experiencing firsthand exactly what conventional medicine gets wrong. That loss became her life's mission. Dr. Myers has since helped millions worldwide reverse their chronic health conditions through her two New York Times bestselling books The Autoimmune Solution™ and The Thyroid Connection™, her proven protocol The Myers Way®, and her physician-formulated supplements line AMMD™ by Amy Myers MD®. Each week, Dr. Myers brings you solo episodes and candid deep-dives with the world's leading experts in functional medicine — translating cutting-edge science into tools you can use. This podcast will give you the knowledge and tools you need to Take Back Your Health®.

51. Beyond Weight Loss: GLP-1s, Inflammation, and Thyroid Health With McCall McPherson, PA-C
What if the GLP-1 conversation is bigger than weight loss? In this episode, I sit down with McCall McPherson, PA-C, thyroid expert and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic. We have a candid, nuanced discussion about GLP-1 receptor agonists, the clinical questions that extend beyond the scale, and why safety, nutrition, medication sourcing, and individualized follow-up must stay at the center of the conversation. McCall shares the clinical observations that led her team to explore low-dose approaches with some thyroid patients, including questions around inflammation and autoimmune symptoms. We also discuss what is established, what remains under study, and why an episode conversation should never replace a personal discussion with a licensed clinician. Important clinical note: The episode includes discussion of microdosing and possible anti-inflammatory applications. These ideas may be outside FDA-approved uses and are not a plan for self-treatment. Do not start, stop, split, or change a prescription medicine without guidance from a qualified prescriber. 🔥What you will learn in this episode: 📍 What GLP-1 receptor agonists are designed to do and why product-specific labels matter 📍How McCall defines microdosing in her clinical practice and why this approach requires clinician oversight 📍Why inflammation, thyroid symptoms, nutrition, muscle health, and side effects need to be considered together 📍How to approach the thyroid cancer boxed warning with a thoughtful risk-benefit conversation 📍What the FDA-approved cardiovascular indication for Wegovy does and does not tell us about other health claims 📍Why the episode treats cancer, autoimmune disease, and brain-health topics as active areas of discussion and research rather than promises of treatment 📍Why unverified online sources and do-it-yourself dosing can create avoidable safety risks The FDA has approved Wegovy, a semaglutide product, for chronic weight management in certain patients and for reducing the risk of cardiovascular death, heart attack, and stroke in adults with established cardiovascular disease and overweight or obesity, when used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. The FDA also warns that unapproved versions of GLP-1 medicines do not undergo its premarket review for safety, effectiveness, and quality. Discuss your options with a licensed clinician and use a state-licensed pharmacy. About McCall McPherson: McCall McPherson, PA-C, is a thyroid expert, functional medicine practitioner, and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic. As a former thyroid patient herself, she brings both clinical expertise and personal experience to thyroid, hormone, and metabolic-health conversations. She is a TEDx speaker, host of the Modern Thyroid & Wellness podcast, and author of Take Back Your Thyroid.

50. Your Labs Are Normal But You're Sick – The Hidden Truth About Chronic Illness with Melissa Schreibfeder, RN
What if the fatigue, inflammation, and mystery symptoms you have been experiencing are not in your head, but hidden in an immune system that is simply overwhelmed? This week, we explore why standard medical testing often misses the true root cause of chronic illness. You will hear how hidden infections, toxic mold exposure, and daily stress can compound over time until your body can no longer compensate. Founder of the Functional Nurse Academy, Melissa Schreibfeder, joins me to share her personal journey from debilitating postpartum fatigue to complete recovery. From the limitations of conventional thyroid care to the hidden burden of Lyme disease and toxic mold, Melissa reveals the unconventional interventions that finally worked. If you have ever been told your labs are normal while you still feel exhausted, this conversation will help you take back your health with clarity and hope. What you'll learn in this episode: Why a standard lab result does not automatically mean your body is functioning optimally The "cup overflowing" concept and how Lyme, toxic mold, and stress compound to trigger chronic illness How a functional nurse can help you access comprehensive lab testing outside the confines of insurance The 17-year gap between medical research and standard clinical guidelines Why healing is rarely linear and how to interpret a Herxheimer reaction during recovery The surprising role that faith, purpose, and stress management play in physical immune resilience How to build a collaborative healthcare team that focuses on prevention before disease develops The exact steps Melissa took to go from severe chemical sensitivity to living a vibrant, symptom-free life About Melissa Schreibfeder: Melissa Schreibfeder, RN, is a registered nurse, approved provider of continuing nursing education, board-certified functional medicine practitioner, and founder of the Functional Nurse Academy. After navigating Hashimoto's, chronic Lyme disease, toxic mold-related illness, and debilitating fatigue, she built a functional medicine practice focused on root-cause education and health promotion. She later established the Functional Nurse Academy to help nurses apply functional medicine principles within their legal scope of practice. She also founded the Christian Functional Medicine Academy to expand access to root-cause training for other healthcare professionals and certified health and wellness coaches.

49. Epigenetic Testing for Personalized Health: The Missing Clues in Your Diet, Detox, and Stress Response with Becca Roses
🚨 Special offer: 🚨 Click the link below to learn how you can save 20% off on AMMD™️ products! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJA6zhB3TZs What if the answers to your chronic stress, stubborn symptoms, and “mystery” food reactions have been inside you all along, hidden in plain sight in your DNA? This week, we break down the buzzword of epigenetics into something you can actually use. You’ll hear how daily inputs such as food, toxins, movement, relationships, and even the state of your nervous system can flip genetic “switches” that either work for you or against you. Founder of MindBodyGenes, Becca Roses, joins me to show how a guided genetic blueprint can replace guesswork with clarity. From stress resilience and detox capacity to carbs, fats, and protein needs, Becca reveals the surprising patterns that matter most without creating more overwhelm. If you’ve ever been told your genes are your destiny, this conversation will help you take back your health with precision and confidence. 🔥 What you'll learn in this episode: 📍 The simplest way to think about epigenetics and why your daily inputs can shift genetic “switches” 📍 Why hyper-focusing on one SNP can backfire, and the pattern-based approach Becca uses instead 📍 How the COMT “warrior/worrier/mediator” spectrum can shape your stress, mood, and even your relationship with caffeine 📍 The hidden detox “bottleneck” that happens when Phase 1 outpaces Phase 2 (and what most reports miss about Phase 3) 📍 How genetics can clarify your ideal carb, fat, and protein mix (and why many women feel worse on ultra–low-carb) 📍 The glutamate/GABA seesaw, what GAD1 variants may reveal about focus, anxiety, and “wired” kids, and how to support balance 📍 Why a cheek-swab blueprint can help families personalize nutrition and routines for each child 📍 When to use existing raw data from 23andMe or Ancestry versus when to get a coach, plus what a 90-minute guided blueprint session looks like About Becca Roses: Becca Roses is the Founder of MindBodyGenes and a Certified Epigenetics Human Performance Coach. She helps clients translate their genetic blueprints into personalized, practical wellness strategies across nutrition, detox, sleep, exercise, hormones, and nervous system support. After navigating her own Hashimoto’s journey and seeing the power of pattern-based genetics in her life and work with clients, Becca created the MindBodyGenes Blueprint and the Gene Queen Certification to train coaches and practitioners to interpret DNA with a human-first, epigenetics-driven approach. 🔗 Resources and People Mentioned: 🧬 MindBodyGenes Genetic Blueprint and guided interpretation: https://mindbodygenes.com/ 🧬 Gene Queen Certification (for coaches and practitioners): https://mindbodygenes.com/gene-queen-certification/ 🧬 Existing raw genetic data from 23andMe and AncestryDNA ⭕️ Dr. Myers’ Inner Circle: https://www.drmyersinnercircle.com/founding-member 📰 Dr. Myers’ Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/pages/newsletter 🔗 Connect with Dr. Myers: 🛜 Website: https://www.dramymyers.com/ 💻 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dramymyers 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dramymyers 🔗 Connect with Becca Roses: 🛜 Website: https://mindbodygenes.com/ 📸 Instagram: @mindbodygenes 📸 (https://www.instagram.com/mindbodygenes) 📧 Email: becca@mindbodygenes.com 🚨Special offer 🚨 ⬇️ Click the link below to learn how you can save 20% off on AMMD™️ products! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJA6zhB3TZs

48. Could Your Airway Be the Root Cause of Your Child's ADHD, Your Exhaustion, and Your Sleep Apnea? with Dr. Hilary Fritsch, DMD
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Hilary Fritsch, DMD, an airway and biological dentist specializing in jaw development and non-surgical treatment of sleep and breathing disorders. We cover three audiences I care deeply about: parents of children showing signs of airway dysfunction, women in perimenopause who are exhausted and being missed by standard sleep testing, and adults who have been managing symptoms with a CPAP and want to know if there is a better path. Dr. Fritsch explains how mouth breathing, tongue ties, and underdeveloped palates are silently driving ADHD, anxiety, autoimmune disease, and chronic fatigue. She also shares the recent Harvard research on CPAP risks for low-risk patients that genuinely surprised me and why myofunctional therapy alone can cut apnea in half. I share my own journey and my daughter Elle's experience with palate expansion. This episode is packed with actionable information you will not want to miss. What You Will Learn: Why underdeveloped jaws and mouth breathing are a root cause of ADHD, anxiety, and chronic fatigue in children and adults The specific signs of early airway dysfunction in infants and children — and why acting early changes everything Why women are systematically underdiagnosed with sleep apnea and how perimenopause dramatically increases airway collapse risk How non-surgical palate expansion works for adults — no jaw surgery required Why myofunctional therapy is essential for lasting results and can reduce apnea severity by up to 50% What recent Harvard research reveals about CPAP risks for low-risk patients and what to do instead About Dr. Hilary Fritsch Dr. Hilary Fritsch, DMD, is an airway and biological dentist with nearly two decades of clinical experience specializing in jaw development, tongue-tied infants, and the non-surgical treatment of sleep and breathing disorders. She is the founder of Saddle Peak Dental and Western Sleep Solutions in Bozeman, Montana, and she trained extensively under Dr. Kevin Golz, a pioneer in adult palate expansion with over 6,000 cases completed.

45. Love, Loss, and Faith: How Grief, a Cancer Scare, and a Spiritual Journey Transformed My Life
Season 2 is here and I am starting it with the episode I have needed to record for a long time. The last few years have been the hardest of my life. My sister died of triple negative breast cancer at 31, I faced my own cancer scares, I went through toxic mold exposure and PTSD, and somewhere in the middle of all of it, I found my way back to faith. In this solo episode, I walk you through all of it honestly: the mammogram callback that started a two-year testing spiral, why I stopped circulating tumor cell screening, what EMDR did for my nervous system that nothing else could, and how Dr. Joe Dispenza meditations and clarigenic medicine gave me back a relationship with something greater than myself. I also talk about my daughter Elle and the bullying that quietly dismantled her confidence, and the school change that gave her back to me in less than a week. And I share what is coming: a revised The Autoimmune Solution™ with new sections on trauma, COVID, and long COVID; a new website; and the Dr. Myers Inner Circle. I have missed you. I am back.

About Take Back Your Health
Conventional Medicine Failed Me and It Is My Mission to Not Have It Fail You Too℠ Are you tired of being dismissed by your doctor, told it's all in your head, or that your fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and mood swings are just a normal part of aging? Perhaps you've been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, a thyroid condition such as Hashimoto's or Graves' disease, leaky gut, Candida overgrowth, SIBO, parasites, toxic mold exposure, or Lyme disease — and your doctor still cannot get to the root cause.

That loss became her life's mission. Dr. Myers has since helped millions worldwide reverse their chronic health conditions through her two New York Times bestselling books The Autoimmune Solution™ and The Thyroid Connection™, her proven protocol The Myers Way®, and her physician-formulated supplements line AMMD™ by Amy Myers MD®.
