**New** Patient-to-Patient Zoom group Webinars

Hooray! Janie A. Bowthorpe, M.Ed. and STTM are now offering two different, 90-minute, interactive Zoom group Webinars to teach you patient-reported experiences and observations pertaining to what can be all-too-common for hypothyroid or Hashi’s patients, no matter the cause: Stressed Adrenals. See Introductory or Advanced, below.

1) INTRODUCTORY STRESSED ADRENALS 101 (Zoom): if you are new to how your adrenals work, or how badly they can be affected by a poor hypothyroid or Hashi’s treatment (such as being on T4-only, being held hostage to the TSH, or going totally by the ridiculous “normal” range), or just want a refresher (Good idea!), this Introductory webinar covers the following:

  • Quick details on our powerhouse adrenals, their relation to a “nut” people eat, plus important hormones (called either steroids or the fancy-dancy term called catecholamines) they release and why — all to help YOU in the face of any stress in the first place!
  • What each of those same adrenal hormones do when you are chronically stressed (including being on nothing but T4 for a percentage) or any life or world stress
  • What are the various symptoms and problems you can experience due to having chronically stressed adrenals?
  • What are those myriad of “causes” for us as hypothyroid or Hashi’s patients in seeing our adrenals get all shook up/messed up, including life stressors which Janie will list? Identify your own causes!
  • Why we should never “guess“ what is going on, and what is the “correct vs incorrect” testing?
  • In fact, what are protocols YOU can do to treat your adrenals better before they get horribly stressed and mess you up (unlike what Janie did NOT do once in a hugely stressful event in her life, and paid a price!) Learn from Janie how to treat your adrenals better, and including when life around you is as stressed as it can be.
  • How to explain all this to your doctors. The more informed you are when you enter the doc’s office, the more respect you may receive.
  • Two live sections between all of us in the webinar–you will also learn from others! One occurs after Janie has explained a lot about YOUR adrenals and will answer your questions, plus another where she will answer your two written questions when you registered/paid.
  • And more. This will provide a base of information to help you launch even further in your understanding of YOUR adrenals. This is a HUGE learning opportunity.

This 101 webinar is slated for every other Tuesday throughout the year. NOTE for APRIL 2025: April 1st (completed), 15th (completed), or the 28th (Monday the 28th is a substitute day for the 29th because the calendar got messed up. In May, we will go back to every other Tuesday.
2:15 Pacific / 3:15 Mountain / 4:15 Central / 5:15 Eastern

***NOTE that there is a goal for a “minimum number” of registered and paid participants, but the group can go up to 10 total. Know of others who might benefit? Privately ask them if they would like to register, too. https://calendly.com/360-stopthethyroidmadness/introduction-stressed-adrenals-101

2) ADVANCED STRESSED ADRENALS 201 (Zoom): This is a more advanced patient-to-patient webinar for those who had done the “saliva cortisol test” & have the results to share in this webinar–both REQUIRED. Check out more details about this Advanced webinar below.

Because this focuses on the results of a saliva cortisol like this one, you will be sent an email before the Advanced webinar to respond with a screenshot or photo of your results. Janie will do a one-on-one with you during the webinar about your saliva results, plus how to treat your results based on over two decades of our experiences and observations! (Plus others will learn from it, too!)

Here’s more that will be covered:

  • Why saliva cortisol testing works so well (especially the ZRT brand), and why other ways to test have gotten an F, especially blood testing, thus why we do not evaluate blood or urine.
  • Why Aldosterone testing, plus sodium & potassium (all which can be done via blood) are also important to get a full view of what’s going on with YOUR Adrenals…and how we treat them if they have fallen.
  • Example of a healthy saliva cortisol result vs those which are not — an important aspect!!
  • What works to treat specific saliva cortisol results vs what does not, all based on over two decades of our experiences and observations! Same with treating our aldosterone result.
  • Why patients discovered that there is a particular time frame, after doing any saliva test and getting the results, for you to start treating, otherwise those results may have changed since then.
  • What patients learned in the need to stress-dose in the face of any current sudden stress, even if we have to be on cortisol for low results.
  • How we as patients learned to successfully wean off cortisol (and why there are failures)
  • What we as patients learned about post-treatment strategies to keep our adrenals strong!
  • And so much more!

    NOTE: if you have used a different brand other than the recommended ZRT saliva, it will be up to you to transfer what we learned with the ZRT test to your own test).

There will be live exchanges between us all. That is the beauty of webinar attendance, and each webinar is different because of those live exchanges between Janie and all who attend.

  • Know that this is not a college course that covers everything. It’s instead a foundation to help you.
  • This 201 webinar meets every other Tuesday and when you register, you will see upcoming open dates to sign up for. 2:15 Pacific / 3:15 Mountain / 4:15 Central / 5:15 Eastern

***NOTE: for your Advanced webinar to occur, there has to be a minimum of 4 registered and paid, but the group can go up to 8. Register and pay here:

IMPORTANT TO READ BELOW FOR EITHER INTRODUCTORY or ADVANCED

  1. You need the Zoom app and to understand how to use it. (New to Zoom? Find someone to teach you before the webinar by doing an actual Zoom call)
  2. Payment is via a credit card or PayPal account, either one with your registered name attached to it.
  3. When you register, you will see the opportunity to ask two questions. Keep them simple, as Janie will not have the time to answer otherwise. You will see a third question and it’s required that you answer “I agree” to attend.
  4. DO NOT forget to give your full name and correct email address when you register. Janie will be using that email to send you the invite link on the day of your webinar.
  5. Janie tends to talk fast, and will do her best to cover as much as humanly possible. If time runs out, she’ll summarize. The webinar gives you a foundation, helping you understand better when you dig into the STTM 1 book with the blue gray cover. Order the correct one here soon if you don’t have it.
  6. Payments are nonrefundable — be responsible to remember the date, as well. (But if a rare situation occurs on Janie’s end only that she has a conflict, you will be able to transfer it to the rescheduled event within two weeks time.)

Get ready to be far better informed, as that gives you a heads up in getting the treatment you need! All information is based on over two decades of patient-reported experiences & observations in getting well.
