In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky welcomes back Dr. Angela Mazza, a triple board-certified endocrinologist specializing in thyroid health, metabolic medicine, and integrative endocrine care. The discussion centers around two topics Dr. Mazza has recently published journal articles on: iodine and thyroid nodules. Together, they explore why iodine remains one of the most controversial nutrients in thyroid medicine and why individualized care is critical when determining whether supplementation is appropriate.

Dr. Mazza explains the delicate balance of iodine intake, discussing why both deficiency and excess can create thyroid problems. She also shares her approach to iodine testing, addresses common misconceptions about iodine supplementation, and discusses special considerations for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ disease, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. The conversation then shifts into thyroid nodules, where Dr. Mazza explains the most common causes of nodule formation, the role of inflammation, estrogen, insulin resistance, environmental toxins, and genetics, along with how toxic nodules differ from non-functioning nodules.

The episode wraps up with an in-depth discussion on goiters, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), thyroid cancer, and modern alternatives to surgery. Dr. Mazza also explains how she evaluates thyroid nodules using ultrasound and shares her perspective on personalized treatment approaches. If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of iodine, thyroid nodules, and goiters, you’ll get a lot out of this episode.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky explores a common question he receives from people with hyperthyroidism: Can I incorporate intermittent fasting? While fasting has been praised for benefits such as weight loss, blood sugar regulation, reduced inflammation, and improved metabolic health, Dr. Eric explains why those with hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease need to approach fasting differently than the general population.

Dr. Eric reviews the most common fasting methods, including overnight fasting, 16:8 intermittent fasting, alternate-day fasting, water fasting, and fasting-mimicking diets. He explains how hyperthyroidism creates a catabolic state characterized by increased metabolism, muscle breakdown, and weight loss, making prolonged fasting potentially problematic for some people. He also discusses the important roles of adrenal health, cortisol balance, blood sugar regulation, insulin resistance, and stress when determining whether fasting is appropriate.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Eric emphasizes the importance of individualization. While fasting may offer benefits for certain people, especially those with stable thyroid levels and insulin resistance, it may be counterproductive for others who are actively hyperthyroid, losing weight, struggling with adrenal dysfunction, or experiencing significant symptoms. If you want a balanced, practical perspective on fasting and hyperthyroidism, you’ll get a lot out of this episode.
