In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most foundational aspects of human health: building your cellular voltage — and why it’s the key to supporting your thyroid, gut, and overall circadian biology.

My Story: From Reactive Mode to Rebuilding Voltage

Five years ago, I was living in transitional housing after leaving a water-damaged home that had left my body highly reactive. Every little thing — sneezing, itching, fatigue, brain fog — set off a cascade of reactions. I quickly realized that quick fixes wouldn’t work. True healing requires creating an environment where your body can thrive.

This is when I learned about voltage — the electrical charge of your cells — and how critical it is for metabolism, thyroid function, detoxification, and immune resilience.

The Thyroid: Your Canary in the Metabolic Coal Mine

Your thyroid isn’t just a gland; it’s a sensor of cellular energy capacity. Low voltage shows up here first: sluggish thyroid function, poor peripheral conversion, and low basal body temperature are all signals that your metabolism is struggling.

Key takeaways:

• A slow thyroid or metabolic dysregulation creates conditions where pathogens can thrive.

• Optimizing your thyroid isn’t about chasing hormones — it’s about supporting the environment your thyroid and metabolism need to function.

The Voltage Triad: Sunlight, Minerals, Hydration

To truly build voltage, three pillars are essential:

1. Sunlight

• Fuels mitochondrial ATP production

• Structures intracellular and extracellular water

• Enhances cellular conductivity

2. Minerals

• Act as cofactors for enzymes that generate and regulate electrical charge

• Support metabolism, circulation, and detoxification

• Work best in tandem with sunlight for optimal function

3. Hydration

• Proper water structure is critical for conductivity

• Supports nutrient transport and cellular communication

• Creates a terrain that discourages pathogens

Together, these three components power your cells, create a high-voltage environment, and support your thyroid, gut, and circadian biology.

Why Voltage Matters for Your Gut

Low-voltage environments aren’t just about fatigue or thyroid issues — they also affect your microbiome:

• Poor cellular energy slows digestion and nutrient absorption

• Pathogens thrive when your body lacks the energy to defend itself

• Optimizing voltage through sunlight, minerals, and hydration helps restore a healthy gut ecosystem

The Emotional Component

Jerry Tennant’s work also highlights how unprocessed emotions impact voltage. Your body stores unresolved emotional patterns, and when cellular energy is low, these patterns can persist. By rebuilding voltage, your body begins to process and release these stored patterns safely, supporting both physical and emotional health.

The Big Picture: Thyroid, Gut, and Circadian Health

This episode provides a framework to understand how these three systems interact:

• Thyroid: The sensor of metabolic integrity

• Gut: The terrain for nutrient absorption and microbial balance

• Circadian biology: The timing system that orchestrates metabolic and immune processes

Focusing on environmental and lifestyle foundations — sunlight, minerals, hydration, and circadian alignment — is far more powerful than chasing lab numbers or quick-fix protocols.
