Nothing quite gets in the way of badassery like unrelenting low energy.
Did you know that 20 million Americans are dealing with thyroid conditions? And that, disproportionately, this affects women more than men? The startling part of it all is that 60% of those with thyroid conditions don’t even know it.
My guest today, Dr. Sarah Vadeboncoeur, is a Naturopathic doctor with an explicit focus on helping women handle the thyroid and energy conditions that are interfering with their ability to live their absolute best lives. Through her clinic, group programming, and a series of online initiatives, Sarah has really curated an opportunity for herself to work with people to help take their lives to the next level.
Today we are talking all about thyroid: what we need to be looking for, what we need to be eating, and what some of you are doing to actually put yourselves further at risk. We talk the science, the testing, the energetics, and the big picture of what you need to know to have optimal energy and a healthy thyroid!

BADASS FUEL — Fuel for Badass Women
Scientifically Supported Ingredients | Support, Not Replacement | Non-GMO
Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation to my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics. Learn more or order the products yourself by visiting BadassFuel.com!
