In this exciting new series, we’re diving deep into “Barriers to Healing,” tackling common misconceptions about root causes of health issues and uncovering what truly supports our body’s ability to heal.
False Root Causes Explained
Many of us focus on hormones, thyroid, adrenals, or even genetics as the root causes of our health struggles. While these play a role, they’re often symptoms of deeper imbalances. Here’s a glimpse of what we discussed:
- Hormones
Hormones often get blamed, but the real issue might lie in receptor site sensitivity or gland health. For example, stressors like blue light exposure and toxins disrupt cortisol and melatonin, throwing off the entire hormonal system. - Thyroid
Thyroid issues are usually linked to conversion problems, such as inactive thyroid hormone not converting properly in the liver. Addressing stressors on the thyroid and its connections to the adrenals is key. - Genes
Your genetics may predispose you to certain conditions, but it’s how your genes are expressed—epigenetics—that truly matters. Factors like diet, toxins, and methylation processes impact gene expression far more than the genes themselves. - Adrenals
Adrenal health is crucial, but if your adrenals are overworked due to chronic stress, simply supporting them won’t fix the problem. The real question is: what’s driving your stress response?

Gut Health: A Key Consideration
Gut health hovers between a false root cause and a critical factor. It’s influenced by other barriers, like stress and toxins, and plays a major role in overall healing. Stay tuned as we dive deeper into this in future episodes.
The Bigger Picture
Healing isn’t about chasing symptoms—it’s about addressing the underlying factors disrupting your body’s balance. In this series, we’ll help you uncover and tackle the real barriers to your health and well-being.
