Shownotes Transcript

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by functional dietitian and thyroid expert Nicole Fennell, RD/N, to unpack the hidden ways chronic stress, undereating, and over-exercising can wreck your metabolism, suppress your thyroid, and shut down your cycle.* We explore how a sluggish thyroid can go undetected on standard lab work, and why low estrogen and thyroid dysfunction are deeply connected If you’re ready to finally understand the real reason behind your missing period, low energy, and brain fog—this episode is for you. Nicole Fennell is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, functional medicine expert, and the founder of Chews Food Wisely—a private practice where she and her team help women uncover the root causes of symptoms like fatigue, bloating, hormone imbalances, and thyroid dysfunction through a food-first approach. With nearly 15 years of experience, Nicole combines advanced functional lab testing with real-life nutrition strategies to create sustainable, personalized plans that actually work in the day-to-day. She also serves as a professor of nutrition at the University of Texas at Tyler, where she teaches future healthcare professionals to think differently about food and practice emphasizing nourishment over deprivation. Whether it’s in the classroom or the clinic, Nicole’s mission is to help women stop guessing, start healing, and feel empowered in their bodies again.
