Jenn Cooke: Hypothyroidism, Acting, and Healing

Actress and singer Jen Cooke opens up about her decade-long health spiral—weight changes, fatigue, anxiety, “ADHD” labels, liver enzyme scares, stopping meds—and how a hypothyroidism diagnosis (and the right support) helped her rebuild energy, creativity, and life.
Dr. Robert breaks down the brain–hormone–immune loop (HPA axis, sympathetic/parasympathetic balance, blood sugar, HRV) and why many creatives feel great on stimulants…until they don’t.
