In this episode of Thyroid Pharmacist Healing Conversations, Dr. Izabella Wentz speaks with integrative cardiologist Dr. Jack Wolfson about how heart health goes far beyond lab numbers. They discuss why thyroid issues and nutrient deficiencies can trigger palpitations, why cholesterol isn’t the villain it’s made out to be, and how lifestyle factors like sleep, sunlight, nutrition, and reducing toxins, can naturally support cardiovascular wellness.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
Why palpitations may be a message from your body: Heart flutters often reflect deeper imbalances like thyroid dysfunction, iron or magnesium deficiency, or toxin exposure. Dr. Wolfson explains how addressing the root cause can calm the heart and restore balance naturally.
Why cholesterol is not the villain we’ve been told. Cholesterol is essential for hormone production, cell membranes, and vitamin D synthesis. Elevated cholesterol is often a sign of other imbalances such as thyroid dysfunction, liver congestion, or nutrient deficiencies, not a statin deficiency.
When “conventional” treatments miss the mark: Statins and blood pressure drugs may improve numbers but overlook root causes such as adrenal stress, nutrient depletion, and toxin overload. Dr. Wolfson shares how true healing begins with rebalancing the body.
The heart-healing power of lifestyle medicine: Sunlight, sleep, nutrient-rich food, movement, and emotional healing are powerful heart supports. Even daily sun exposure can boost vitamin D, nitric oxide, and melatonin for better blood pressure and sleep.
The overlooked connection between your mouth, gut, and heart: Periodontal disease, leaky gut, and microbiome imbalance can fuel inflammation that affects both thyroid and heart function. Discover how holistic dental care and gut healing can protect your cardiovascular system.
Supplements and natural supports that work. Nutrients like beet root, L-arginine, grape seed extract, CoQ10, carnitine, and omega-3s can improve circulation, support mitochondria, and optimize heart and thyroid function.
