In this episode of Thyroid Pharmacist Healing Conversations, I interview Kyle Lasota — aka the “Wellness Daddy.” Kyle is a wellness media entrepreneur with an inspiring story of self-experimentation and resilience. After spending over $250,000 on his health in search of answers, Kyle now helps others shorten the learning curve and avoid the overwhelm of conflicting advice. His journey through mold illness, post-COVID autoimmune flares, and an eventual Hashimoto’s diagnosis offers powerful insight into root-cause healing, lifestyle design, and the mindset needed to reclaim your vitality.
Kyle shares how he overcame panic attacks, chronic fatigue, long COVID, and autoimmunity — not by relying on the healthcare system, but by becoming his own advocate. He offers a refreshingly honest take on what really works (and what doesn’t), how to reclaim your time and space for healing, and why stepping into a new identity might be the missing piece in your transformation.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to piece together your own healing protocol, Kyle’s practical tips and deep mindset work will help you reconnect with hope, purpose, and a clear path forward.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why knowing your root causes changes everything. After being misdiagnosed several times, Kyle’s health breakthrough came when he found a practitioner who ran the right tests — revealing severe mold toxicity and early-stage Hashimoto’s. Once he had real data, he could finally target the true culprits behind his symptoms.
- How to protect your time and energy so healing becomes possible. Kyle explains the concept of “time wealth,” and how outsourcing low-leverage tasks like grocery shopping or cleaning can create the space necessary for deep healing. Without it, stress and decision fatigue can keep you stuck.
- How shifting your identity can support healing. Kyle explains how redefining himself beyond illness (as the “Wellness Daddy”) helped accelerate his recovery — and why mindset changes like this may be just as critical as diet or supplements.
- The power of doing less — and doing it better. Instead of chasing every biohack or supplement, Kyle talks about the underestimated value of fundamentals: sleep hygiene, sunlight, hydration, movement, and community.
- How to make lifestyle upgrades that are sustainable. From blue-light blocking glasses, air filtration, red light therapy, and meal prepping to building a non-toxic home, Kyle shares his favorite healing tools and how he vets products so others don’t have to waste time or money.
