If you've ever taken thyroid medication exactly as prescribed… and still struggled with fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, hair loss, anxiety, or feeling "off," you've probably wondered:

"Are thyroid meds a scam?"

In this episode, Priscilla breaks down this emotionally loaded question with science, clarity, and a dose of tough love. Instead of blaming the medication—or blaming yourself—she exposes the real issue: the conventional thyroid model promises results it was never designed to deliver.

You'll learn why so many women feel no different (or worse) on medication, the six biggest "missed pieces" keeping your metabolism stuck, and how to finally create a metabolic environment where your thyroid meds can actually work.

This episode is a must-listen if you've ever been told:

• "Your labs are normal."

• "Your symptoms aren't related to your thyroid."

• "There's nothing else you can do."

• "Just take this pill and come back in six months."

Spoiler: your frustration is valid, and you're not crazy.

Medication can only replace hormone. It can't fix conversion issues, inflammation, autoimmunity, cortisol patterns, or metabolic blockers.

Including outdated TSH-only dosing, poor T4→T3 conversion, reverse T3 dominance, nutrient deficiencies, and more.

Your labs may be perfect on paper while your cells are starving for usable hormone.

Thyroid hormone doesn't fix an immune attack. (And no, your symptoms aren't in your head.)

Your physiology can't heal in a nutrient-deficit or survival state.

A smarter, more complete framework that supports your gut, liver, adrenals, inflammation, nutrient status, and hormone signaling—so medication finally does its job.

Thyroid meds aren't the villain. The incomplete treatment model is.
When you support the full metabolic system, medication becomes effective—sometimes for the first time in years.

You're not broken. You're under-supported.
