You’ve done everything right. You’ve changed your diet, taken the right supplements, maybe even tried thyroid medications… but you still feel exhausted, foggy, and stuck.
What if the real problem isn’t just your thyroid—but your brain?
In this eye-opening episode of ReInvent Healthcare, Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo sits down with biochemist and mind-body expert Jennifer Swank to uncover the hidden role of the limbic system in thyroid dysfunction.
If your body is in a constant state of stress, your limbic system—the brain’s survival center—keeps you trapped in a cycle of fatigue, weight gain, and hormonal chaos. Until you reset your brain’s protective responses, no amount of diet changes, meds, or supplements will truly work.
Jennifer shares her personal journey from unstoppable energizer bunny to barely making it off the couch—and how she cracked the code on balancing thyroid function through brain-body healing.
This is the missing piece no one is talking about.
