ABOUT THIS EPISODE
With thousands of supplements promising more energy, better hair, improved thyroid function, and healthier aging, how do you know what your body actually needs?
In this episode of Modern Thyroid & Wellness, McCall McPherson sits down with Melissa “Mel” Afflerbach, Clinical Director of Weight Loss & Supplement Programs, for a practical conversation about the supplements they use and recommend within their thyroid and metabolic health programs.
They break down some of the most common concerns women with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s experience—from persistent fatigue and low energy to hair loss—and explain why supplementation should support the bigger picture rather than replace investigating the root cause of a symptom.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why correcting thyroid function may not completely resolve fatigue
- How adrenal and mitochondrial health relate to energy production
- The difference between stimulant energy and supporting cellular energy
- Why thyroid dysfunction can contribute to hair shedding and changes in hair, skin, and nails
- Why ferritin and thyroid labs matter when investigating hair loss
- How collagen, micronutrients, and antioxidants may support hair, skin, and nails
- Why myo-inositol and selenium are used in ThyroShield™
- Why testing and understanding the cause of a symptom still matters
- How McCall and her clinical team choose supplements for MDRN Wellness
- A sneak peek at what they are developing specifically for the thyroid community
McCall also shares the deeply personal story behind the “Sol” found throughout the MDRN Health line. Her late brother, Solomon, had been working on the project before his unexpected passing, and the line now carries part of his legacy forward.
