EastWest Healing Revolutionizing nutrition for thyroid health! Another very interesting observation was the enormous spectrum by which food affected one person vs. another.

Josh and Jeanne are revolutionizing nutrition for thyroid health by teaching people how to use food as supplementation, reduce stress and build the most sound foundation for the body to heal. After many years of following the functional medicine path coupled with teaching people about “healthy” food Josh and Jeanne began to see some common trends. People began qualifying themselves by their labs, resulting in increased anxiety, hyper-focus on disease and a devastating blow to the overall health of the individual. Digging deeper into the effects of food on human physiology and the work of endocrinology and physiology masterminds such as Ray Peat, Constance Martin, Dr. John Lee, Hans Selye and a handful of others, Josh and Jeanne began to recognize the health of the metabolism and the different effects the environment can have on two different, yet similar beings. Underlying these differences are genetics, life experiences, nutrition, lifestyle habits and the effects of stress on the nervous system; the story. And underlying this story, working very hard to maintain health, is the living cell.

“For us to understand disease we must first understand the living cell.”- Dr. Bieber. The role of thyroid hormone in every single cell in the body signifies the importance in having a healthy, functioning thyroid. Inspired by the work of Dr. Broda Barnes, Josh and Jeanne were able to develop a very effective and comprehensive approach to creating the perfect nutritional foundation aimed at restoring energy metabolism. Using food as supplementation Josh and Jeanne have transformed the lives of hundreds of people around the world by working with them to create the perfect nutrition plan. They do not believe in fixing or suppressing symptoms, but do believe when you provide the body adequate resources to meet the demands of that individual body, the intelligence of the human body takes over and healing unfolds. They believe the greatest defense one has against the ever-changing environment is the health of the metabolism. When the metabolism is strong and the thyroid is functioning, all systems are working in synergy, just as they are meant to. Josh and Jeanne pride themselves on their individualization and attention to detail. They believe unless the time is taken to listen to individual stories, to hear the story, to acknowledge the story and to respond appropriately to the story, health will be lost. To achieve optimal health they have learned it is imperative we learn more about these vessels we inhabit throughout our lives and how to support them. Josh and Jeanne are giving people back what is rightfully theirs, their health and their lives. Health is simple, so why is it so few have it? Because as a society we have been trained to look to someone or something to heal us and abandoned the simple laws of nature. Josh and Jeanne are teaching people how to use food to resource their body in new ways, which in turn is building a bridge for complete mind, body and spirit growth and transformation. They have spent the past 15 years building an approach to healing grounded in the health and innate properties of nature. They both have very different stories but have found by applying what they are going to teach you, have achieved greater health today then ever before in their lives. They believe that the best coach is one that has walked the walk. As Albert Einstein said, “the only source of knowledge is experience.”

Josh and Jeanne have been in the shoes of their clients. They have walked step by step and live their lives based on the philosophy they teach. They know it works first hand and are excited to get to share what they have learned with you.

A hormone specialist said she fixed her low progesterone by regulating her cortisol.

She’s right, and I’ll say that clearly before I disagree with anything cortisol doesn’t just compete with progesterone, it blocks progesterone receptors.

Then she said how: phosphatidylserine, pregnenolone, ashwagandha.

And for blood sugar, chromium, inositol, alpha lipoic acid and a continuous glucose monitor.

That’s where we part ways, not on the mechanism, on the layer.

Every one of those first three works at cortisol. But cortisol wasn’t the origin.

It spiked to stabilise blood sugar; that was the job it had been given.

Blunt it and you’ve quieted the messenger while the message is still true.

Which is why adaptogens work for a while and then stop the signal was accurate, and suppressing it never changed what generated it.

Here’s the tell in her own story: she also regulated her blood sugar.

That’s the piece that actually worked. Once glucose was stable, cortisol had no reason to keep spiking, and progesterone got its receptors back.

She did the right thing and credited the wrong bottle.

But the blood sugar tools work at insulin and leptin controls insulin, not the other way around. Insulin resistance isn’t the starting point — it’s downstream of a broken leptin-light relationship.

Leptin goes quiet when you never see morning sun, when you eat after dark, when you scroll in bed. Your hypothalamus reads famine.

Your mitochondria drop out of hormone production. Steroid synthesis gets deprioritised, your adrenals compensate with cortisol, and cortisol blocks progesterone.

That’s the chain. She climbed it from the bottom and stopped two floors short.

And melatonin and insulin compete for the same pancreatic receptor melatonin cuts insulin secretion by roughly a quarter at night.

Every hour of light after sunset puts insulin where melatonin belongs. No chromium outruns that.

You don’t need a monitor to tell you your blood sugar is unstable.

What’s your opinion on grounding sheets + mats?
 
Here’s the thing… this question alone shows where so many people are getting stuck.

The industry has taught you to:
Disconnect from your body.

Rely on devices instead of nature.

Distrust your body’s own wisdom.

But grounding doesn’t have to come in the form of a product.
 
Step outside. Breathe. Put your bare feet on the earth.

It’s simple. It’s FREE.
And it’s powerful.
 
Circadian rhythm syncs when your body meets light + environment.

Bare feet on the ground = earthing. Your hydrated tissues pull in the earth’s electricity, energizing your cells + calming your nervous system.

Trees, plants, flowers = negative ions that bring your cells into balance.

The sounds of nature? They speak directly to your vagus nerve, helping you reconnect with your body.

…and none of that is found in a sheet or mat!

Here’s the truth
If you feel like you need a mat or sheet to ground, it might be a sign that your lifestyle is missing the simplicity your body craves.

You don’t have to buy your way back to health.

You just need to step outside.

Agree or disagree, one thing is true: nature is always available and always free.

Did your grandmother wake up every day thinking about SIBO, Candida, or the histamine diet?

Did she count macros, own a red light panel, put fat in her coffee, chase the next weight-loss trend, or biohack her system?

No. And the reason isn’t that she was more disciplined, more grateful, or more connected to nature than you are.

It’s that nobody had figured out how to sell her the doubt yet.

Go back and read that list.

Every single item on it is a product. A test, a protocol, a panel, a supplement stack, a diet with a founder’s name attached.

None of it came into existence to make you well.

It exists because there is an enormous market in you believing your body is a problem that needs solving and that market did not exist in her kitchen.

And to be clear, the past wasn’t healthier. In plenty of ways it was considerably worse, and I’m not asking anyone to romanticise it.

The narrower thing is what’s true: she wasn’t running her health as a second job. She got up, she ate, she worked, she went to bed when it got dark. Her body was something she lived in, not something she monitored.

Things have genuinely changed. Food, light, pace, technology, you can’t go back and you shouldn’t want to. What hasn’t changed is what a human body will do once you stop interrogating it.

So let’s stop chasing. Let’s ask a better question instead: what do I actually need today, physically and emotionally, to be someone my body feels safe in?

Three questions we get every week:

“My five-year-old wakes up with no appetite, what should I do?” 

“My three-year-old was fine with castor oil packs, but now she’s reacting. Help!” 

“My six-year-old needs the sauna to detox but hates it. How do I get him to like it?”

Every one of those comes from a parent trying hard.

And not one of them asks whether the protocol belongs there in the first place. All three ask how to get the child to tolerate it.

That’s the part worth sitting with.

There’s no how-to guide for parenting, so we reach for whatever helped us and we end up handing a grown adult’s detox to a body that never asked for one.

Take the appetite question. A five-year-old with no morning hunger isn’t broken and doesn’t need to be made to eat.

No morning appetite is a signal, cortisol, melatonin and leptin, a clock that hasn’t been set yet.

Don’t chase the appetite. Build the rhythm and the appetite comes back on its own.

And the child who was fine with castor oil and is now reacting to it?

In our read, that’s rarely the oil.

That’s a threshold dropping one more thing to defend against in a body that’s already defending.

A new reaction to an old input is information, not a dosing problem.

Kids are facing a genuinely different environment than we did, and more medical intervention than any generation before them. But our worry isn’t the counterweight to that. It’s another input.

What children actually need is to feel seen, heard and safe and to be allowed to be kids. To play. To jump in puddles. To be bored.

Let go.
Listen.
Nourish.
Make it safe.

Teach them to trust their body, because without that trust there’s no health to build on.

And yes they’re reading your state long before they’re processing your words.

You cannot hand a nervous system something yours doesn’t have.

Ever been told to avoid copper-containing foods because you have copper toxicity?

Or that the fix is to chelate it out?

Both watch the one end of the seesaw a blood panel can see.

Under stress-free conditions your adrenals signal your liver to produce ceruloplasmin — bioavailable, bound copper.

That’s the form that activates oxygen and energy production, builds every antioxidant you make, and does the actual work of recycling iron.

When the adrenals are fatigued, ceruloplasmin falls. Now you get the pattern almost everyone misreads: unbound copper accumulating in tissue — what gets called “copper toxicity” alongside little to no bound copper to produce energy, antioxidants, or recycle iron.

Copper toxic on paper, copper deficient in function.

Copper toxicity equals copper deficiency equals a lack of bioavailable copper.

What feeds the imbalance:
— Excess calcium from supplementation, which blocks copper absorption in the gut

— Excess phytates in the diet (green smoothies are the everyday example)

— Excess iron from supplements, fortified foods and molasses, which disrupts copper metabolism

— Excess ascorbic acid, which destroys the bond between copper and ceruloplasmin

— Excess high-fructose corn syrup

— A diet low in the retinol-rich foods needed to load copper in the first place

And a list of medications!

So chelating copper strips more of it out of someone already functionally short of it. The number improves and the mechanism degrades.

It was never only about what you eat., supplements or just biohacking a lab.

It’s how you live, what you’re carrying, and whether anything in your day lets your adrenals stand down.

We got something very special, coming down the pipeline really soon, very soon
