In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Shivani Gupta to talk about Ayurveda, inflammation, and what this 5,000 year old system of medicine reveals about Hashimoto’s and thyroid health.

There are moments in clinical practice where you realize the conversation around inflammation has been too narrow. We measure antibodies. We look at gut markers. We talk about nutrients. But there is another layer that often gets overlooked, the way daily rhythm and nervous system patterns shape immune behavior.

Ayurveda does not separate digestion from stress or stress from immune signaling. It looks at the entire terrain. It asks how your constitution influences the way you burn through energy, hold onto it, or stagnate it. It challenges the idea that everyone should follow the same rules for healing.

What I appreciate about this discussion is that it does not add complexity. It adds perspective. It reframes inflammation as something influenced by pace, timing, and consistency, not just inputs.

If you have ever felt like you were doing everything on paper and still missing something deeper, this episode will help you see your thyroid in a more integrated way.

You can follow a solid protocol for Hashimoto’s and still feel like something is not fully clicking.

Your labs may look better. Your inflammation markers may improve. But your body still feels braced, wired, or unable to truly settle.

In this episode, Inna sits down with Dr. Karyn Shanks to talk about a layer of healing that rarely gets addressed, hypervigilance.

We explore how overfunctioning, overworking, and constantly being on can become a stress pattern that keeps cortisol elevated and the immune system reactive. Not because you are failing, but because your nervous system has learned to stay alert.

You will see how sensations like throat tightness, chest constriction, or a constant sense of urgency are not random. We talk about the difference between a sensation and the story your brain builds around it, and why giving a feeling space for even ninety seconds can shift your physiology.

We also discuss trauma informed care, why safety has to come before deeper healing, and how overdoing can be tied to worthiness and performance rather than true resilience.

Healing is not only biochemical. It is also nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and learning when to say yes and when to say no.

This episode will help you look at your thyroid healing through a wider lens and understand what might still be keeping your body on guard.

There is a point many people with Hashimoto’s reach where exercise becomes a constant question mark. You are moving your body, trying to be consistent, and still wondering if you are doing too much, not enough, or the wrong kind altogether.

This conversation with Inna Topiler and Angela Brown sits right inside that uncertainty. The space between being told to push harder and starting to wonder if pushing harder is exactly why your body feels the way it does. They talk about why exercise can feel so confusing with Hashimoto’s and why so many people end up second-guessing themselves instead of trusting what they are noticing.

As the conversation unfolds, you will start to see how different types of exercise affect the Hashimoto’s body in very different ways. You will hear how to think about recovery, fatigue, inflammation, and weight changes together, instead of as separate problems, and why what happens after your workout often matters more than how you feel during it.

You will also see exactly how to tell whether the exercise you are doing is actually working for you, when it may be time to change your approach, and how to start making those decisions without swinging between doing nothing and doing too much.

Cooking with Hashimoto’s often becomes the hardest place to stay consistent, not because you do not know what foods are supportive, but because figuring out how to cook in real life takes energy, planning, and the right setup.

In this conversation Inna and Hypothyroid Chef Ginny Mahar talk about how to actually cook in a way that supports your body without turning food into another source of stress. You will see how anti inflammatory eating looks in real life, why personalization matters, and how to think about meal prep, leftovers, freezing, and cooking methods in a way that preserves energy instead of draining it.

The episode also goes beyond food and into the kitchen itself, from pots and pans to utensils, cutting boards, and food storage. If cooking with Hashimoto’s has felt overwhelming or unrealistic, this conversation will help it feel simpler, calmer, and more doable.

Weight loss with Hashimoto’s often feels harder than it should, even when you’re doing all the things. This episode explores why that frustration is so common and why most weight loss advice doesn’t fully apply to a Hashimoto’s body.

In this conversation, Inna explains how weight loss with Hashimoto’s follows a different set of rules and why understanding that difference changes how you approach food, metabolism, and progress.

If weight loss has felt confusing, inconsistent, or resistant, this episode will help you see it through a very different lens.

So many people with Hashimoto’s carry emotional patterns they don’t even realize are affecting their thyroid. Today we take a closer look at the invisible habits we learn early in life, the ones that quietly shape how safe we feel being ourselves.

Sometimes you minimize what hurt you. Sometimes you feel responsible for other people’s reactions. Sometimes you stop trusting your own knowing, even when your body is nudging you in the right direction. These patterns may seem emotional on the surface, but they create real physiological stress, and your thyroid feels every bit of it.

This episode explores why these habits form, how they show up in everyday situations, and why the thyroid is uniquely sensitive to self-expression, boundaries, and inner trust. You will see how simple shifts in awareness can help your body feel safer, calmer, and more supported from the inside out.

If you have ever felt like you disappear inside your own life, or like your voice gets quieter when you need it most, this conversation will help you reconnect to yourself in a deeper way. Your thyroid responds to that connection, and you may be surprised how much changes when you begin to honor what you truly feel.

Healing is not only biochemical, it  is also emotional, energetic, and rooted in how you relate to yourself every day.

There is always a deeper story behind emotional eating, and in this episode Inna and guest Lisa Schlosberg open up the layers most people never connect to food. They explore the moments when you eat without hunger, the childhood patterns that shaped your sense of safety, and the reasons your body may turn to food even when your mind insists you are “fine.” What begins as a conversation about eating quickly becomes a conversation about emotional wiring, nervous system responses, and the parts of you that learned to cope long before you had words for it.

Lisa shares her own experience of losing 150 pounds and discovering that the harder work had nothing to do with calories or willpower. It was learning how to feel feelings she spent years avoiding. It was realizing food had been her protection, her comfort, and her armor. Together, she and Inna talk about why emotional hunger feels real, why you can’t solve an emotional problem with a physical solution, and how self compassion and internal safety begin to shift lifelong patterns around eating.

They also explore the small, often unnoticed triggers that shape your relationship with food. Clean plate conditioning. Scarcity wiring. Eating in front of screens. The need for stimulation. The pull toward comfort when you are overwhelmed. The instinct to stay “strong” at the cost of your own emotional expression. And for many with Hashimoto’s, the way growing up without validation creates a lifelong habit of seeking comfort and reassurance outside of yourself.

This episode is a grounded, deeply human look at emotional eating, inner safety, and the process of gently rewriting the relationship you have with food. It brings together mind, body, and emotion in a way that will help you understand yourself on an entirely new level.

Fasting is everywhere these days, but most traditional fasting approaches are too harsh when you have Hashimoto’s. Long stretches without food can feel destabilizing, draining, and completely unrealistic for a thyroid that is already under stress. 

However there is a different approach called fasting mimicking that creates the deeper cellular benefits of fasting while you are still eating real food. Fasting mimicking has been heavily researched for decades and is designed to activate the same fasting pathways that support things like metabolism, energy, longevity, and overall cellular renewal. Instead of pushing the body into stress, it uses precise nutrients that keep the fasting response going while still providing nourishment, which makes it far more compatible with the needs of someone living with Hashimoto’s. It also offers an approachable way to support weight, inflammation, and metabolic health without cutting calories to extremes or spiking cortisol.

This is the kind of information that changes how you think about fasting altogether and incredibly relevant if regular fasting has ever made you feel worse instead of better.

This episode is a must listen, and if you want to try fasting mimicking for yourself, you can do that here and please use code "FASTING" for 20% OFF!

Your surroundings can either calm your body or keep it in constant overdrive. In this episode, HGTV designer Sabrina Soto shares how the way we organize, decorate, and even rest inside our homes directly affects the nervous system and thyroid health.

Sabrina opens up about her own turning point, from a safe but unfulfilling career to creating a life and home designed with intention, and how that same mindset applies to healing. You’ll hear how clutter impacts cortisol, why your bedroom setup matters more than you think, and how small, thoughtful changes can bring more calm, clarity, and energy back into your day.

This conversation blends design and wellness in a way that feels deeply practical. From simple systems that make life lighter to letting go of energy leaks that drain you, Sabrina shows how creating supportive spaces is one of the most overlooked forms of healing with Hashimoto’s.

This episode will change how you think about stress, support, and what it really means to “do it all” with Hashimoto’s.

Renee Warren joins Inna to share how she built a thriving business, raised two babies, and recovered from deep burnout, not by pushing harder, but by learning how to delegate, receive help, and create real systems of support at home and work.

You’ll hear how Renee uses “family SOPs” to keep her nervous system calm, what boundaries actually protect thyroid health, and why doing less doesn’t mean settling for less. In fact, it’s often the exact shift that allows your body to heal and your life to expand.

If you’ve ever wondered how to balance ambition with healing, or how to have it all without doing it all, this conversation will show you what that really looks like.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your own Hashimoto’s could be connected to what’s going on with your child’s health, this conversation will open your eyes.

In this episode, Inna sits down with Dr. Nancy O’Hara,  a leading expert in PANS and PANDAS (and also her son Jake’s pediatrician)  to talk about something most parents never hear about: how autoimmune thyroid disease in moms can raise the risk of PANS/PANDAS, and other neuroimmune conditions in kids.

They share what the research shows, how this link develops, how to find it and most importantly what families can do to support these conditions.

Inna also opens up about her own journey as a Hashimoto’s mom raising a child with special needs and the twist that helped her discover her son had PANS/PANDAS, plus the emotions, the questions, and the relief that comes from finally understanding the bigger picture.

It’s an honest, eye-opening episode for every Hashimoto’s parent needs to hear to know what to look for, what to do and to feel less alone in the process.

GLP-1s are everywhere right now, but most people may not use them in the best way especially with thyroid issues. McCall McPherson joins Inna to explain why standard dosing creates all the side effects you hear about, and how a specific way of microdosing changes everything,  especially for those with thyroid conditions.

This conversation goes beyond weight loss. McCall breaks down how to use GLP-1s properly for thyroid bodies so food, muscle, and metabolism stay intact. She shares why slower loss is actually healthier, how to know if your doctor’s approach is too aggressive and the overlooked benefits these medications can bring when done right.

One of the biggest? Inflammation. They discuss how proper use can calm inflammation in ways food alone sometimes can’t, and what happens to markers and symptoms when it does. They also dive into low dose naltrexone, when to pair it with GLP-1s, and how it supports autoimmunity without shutting down the immune system.

In this second part of my conversation with Dr. Felice Gersh, we shift the focus to progesterone and what it really means for your health. You’ve probably heard that progesterone is only important if you have a uterus, or that it’s just about preventing uterine cancer, but that’s far from the whole story.

You’ll hear why oral progesterone, the most common form prescribed, may actually be doing more harm than good, how it creates unnaturally high levels of certain metabolites that can sedate the brain, and why this could even impact memory long-term. We also talk about safer and more effective ways to use progesterone that actually work with your body.

And if you’re in menopause, or even decades past it, you’ll discover why cycling hormones still matters and how it can support your brain, bones, immune system, and thyroid health. This conversation will challenge so much of what you’ve been told and open the door to thinking about hormones in a whole new way.

In this episode of Thyroid Mystery Solved, Inna welcomes back the brilliant Dr. Felice Gersh for a conversation that takes Hashimoto’s and hormones to a whole new level. 

Together, they dive deep into the role of estrogen and progesterone in regulating the immune system, inflammation, and thyroid health. Most people have only heard the basics about these hormones, but as Dr. Gersh explains, the story goes far beyond reproduction. From Hashimoto’s flares that appear around menstrual cycles to the critical impact of hormones during perimenopause and menopause, this discussion unpacks what most doctors never tell their patients and you are going to be amazed!

Dr. Gersh also shines a light on how misconceptions about hormones, especially progesterone, have shaped conventional medicine and why so many women are left without the support they truly need. This episode is part one of a two-part series, and it is filled with insights that will completely change the way you think about hormones and Hashimoto’s.

In this powerful episode, Inna is joined by transformational leader and inner child expert Anat Peri to explore an unexpected twist in the Hashimoto’s healing journey. Together, they dive into the case of Jessica, who was doing all the “right” things, following the AIP diet, taking supplements, working on her mindset, but still felt exhausted and stuck. Her symptoms weren’t improving, and her doctor’s solution was to increase her medication yet again.

The turning point came when she uncovered something deeper. Jessica was trying so hard to stay positive, think positive, do her affirmations because that is what she was told she should be doing. However by doing that, she was unintentionally overriding her true emotions and it made her feel way worse.

Anat explains how this kind of forced positivity can be a detriment because it can actually create stress in the nervous system, keeping the body in a chronic state of fight, flight, or freeze. This episode unpacks how overriding your feelings can actually worsen autoimmune symptoms and why true healing starts with emotional safety.

Anat also shares the science behind how the nervous system reacts faster than the conscious mind, how inner child work helps create safety, and why nervous system regulation must come before mindset work can truly be effective. From breathwork to sensation naming to reparenting tools, you’ll learn how to create space for your emotions and support your healing from the inside out.

This episode is an essential listen for anyone who has tried it all and still feels like something is missing. It might not be about doing more. It might be about feeling more.

If you have Hashimoto’s, there’s a very real chance you’re also an empath and you may not even realize it.

This matters more than you think. Because when you’re highly sensitive and constantly absorbing everything around you (other people’s energy, emotions, even stress), your nervous system takes the hit. And when the nervous system is in overdrive, it becomes very hard to heal, no matter how clean your diet is or how many supplements you take.

In this episode, Inna is joined by trauma-informed coach and empath expert Kristen Schwartz to talk about something that’s rarely discussed in the Hashimoto’s world: how being an unrecognized empath can be one of the biggest hidden blocks to healing. 

Kristen breaks down how fatigue, overstimulation, anxiety, heart palpitations, and even sleep issues can all trace back to nervous system dysregulation and how this shows up differently in sensitive people.

You’ll learn how to tell if this is what’s really happening in your body, how to start regulating (without adding more to your to-do list), and how to gently reconnect to yourself without pressure or performance. Kristen shares simple but powerful shifts that help you reclaim your energy, feel safe in your body again, and finally get unstuck.

If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but still feel wired, tired, or anxious, this conversation could be the missing link. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of what’s really going on under the surface and what to do about it.

When you’re living with Hashimoto’s,  it’s easy to end up overwhelmed, especially when you’re getting conflicting advice from different practitioners. In this episode, Inna shares a real-life case where a client was stuck in that very situation, caught between protocols and unsure how to move forward. What helped wasn’t more advice, instead it was learning to trust her own intuition.

To explore this idea further, Inna is joined by Karly Ashworth, a transformational coach and intuitive guide who helps people reconnect to their inner voice and find clarity. Together, they talk about how tuning into your intuition can help you navigate confusing symptoms, make better health decisions, and even uncover emotional patterns that might be affecting your thyroid.

They dive into what intuition really is (and why we all have it), how it relates to the throat chakra and the thyroid, and why emotional triggers such as indecision or self-doubt can sometimes do just as much damage as physical ones. Karly also shares practical ways to quiet the noise, get grounded, and start recognizing the signals your body is already sending you.

Whether you’ve been second-guessing your health decisions or you’ve just felt out of touch with your body, this episode is a powerful reminder that sometimes, the answers you’re looking for aren’t out there but they’re already within.

When a patient has tried every clean-eating plan, every supplement protocol, and every practitioner,  but is still exhausted, anxious, and foggy  it’s time to look where no one else has. In this episode, Inna teams up with functional dentist Dr. Michelle Jorgensen to explore a very overlooked trigger and aggravator for Hashimoto’s symptoms: your mouth.

Through the case of “Cindy,” a Hashimoto’s patient who did everything right but still wasn’t getting better, Inna and Dr. Michelle reveal how hidden dental infections, past root canals, and even the materials used in old dental work can silently drive inflammation and autoimmune flares. What looks like “perfect” dental health on X-rays might actually be masking deep, ongoing issues that most conventional dentists never catch.

Dr. Michelle brings her unique insight as a dentist-turned-health detective, showing how problems like cavitations, mixed metals, and even mouth breathing can create a ripple effect on the immune system, the microbiome, and the thyroid. She also explains how to safely investigate and address these issues  and why healing often requires asking the questions no one else is asking.

This episode opens a powerful new conversation for anyone with Hashimoto’s who still doesn’t feel well despite doing “everything right” and exactly what you can do to explore what your mouth is trying to tell you.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve tried everything…very diet, every supplement, every protocol, but your Hashimoto’s symptoms still aren’t budging, this episode might be the missing link. In this tender and deeply personal conversation, Inna sits down with her dear friend and colleague Lizzy Swick, RDN, to explore a part of healing that’s so often overlooked: the emotional and nervous system layer. Lizzy shares her own journey of chronic migraines, pain, and doing all the right things until she discovered that true progress began when she stopped doing more and started feeling more.

Together, they unpack what it really means to feel safe in your body and how emotions, past experiences, and the way we push ourselves can quietly drive inflammation, fatigue, and even autoimmunity. You’ll hear practical tools like "rage on the page" journaling, embodiment meditation, and the internal shifts that helped Lizzy finally get relief after years of searching. It’s gentle, honest, and eye-opening in the most beautiful way.

This conversation is one that Inna truly hopes you’ll take to heart. It’s not just about healing your thyroid, it’s about healing you. If you’ve been stuck, if nothing is working, or if you’ve ever wondered whether your emotions and nervous system might be part of the puzzle, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. Please listen, it might be the turning point you didn’t know you needed.

Ever feel like sticking to a healthy routine is way harder than it should be? In this episode, Inna shares the one mindset shift that can completely change how you approach your habits, especially when living with Hashimoto’s.

She introduces the concept of “99% is hard, 100% is easy” and explains how partial commitment, whether to diet, sleep, supplements, or stress management, can actually make things feel more overwhelming. But when you go all in, in a very specific way that she explains, everything gets simpler.

Inna walks through real-life examples from her own routine, from skipping gluten to sticking to a solid bedtime (even when a show has 4 minutes left!). She also breaks down why this shift is so powerful for managing Hashimoto’s and thyroid issues where inflammation, stress, and blood sugar all play a major role.

You’ll walk away with a new way of thinking about your choices, plus practical strategies to make those choices easier. If you’ve been teetering between “I’ll try” and “I’m in,” this episode is exactly what you need.

Many people with Hashimoto’s have experienced it—the frustration of knowing something is wrong but being repeatedly dismissed by doctors. This week, Inna welcomes Dr. Efrat Lamandre (Dr. E) to uncover why so many thyroid patients struggle to get answers and how medical gaslighting keeps them stuck in a cycle of misdiagnosis and neglect.

Dr. E, a best-selling author and expert in patient advocacy, explains why conventional medicine often overlooks key thyroid issues. She shares how doctors are trained to rely on a limited set of tools, without digging deeper. When those tests come back “normal,” patients are told their symptoms aren’t real or that their fatigue, weight gain, and brain fog must be due to stress or aging. But the reality? Hashimoto’s and thyroid dysfunction go far beyond TSH, and without the right tests, people can go undiagnosed for years.

Inna and Dr. E dive into the most common signs of medical gaslighting and why it happens, from unnecessary weight loss advice to outright dismissal of symptoms. They also reveal why conventional providers often refuse to run crucial tests. Heather’s story, a real-life case from Inna’s Thyroid Mystery Solved program illustrates how damaging this dismissal can be and why proper testing and advocacy make all the difference.

Beyond lab tests, Dr. E emphasizes an often-overlooked key to healing: nervous system regulation. Before addressing diet, supplements, or detox, the body needs to feel safe, something many Hashimoto’s patients don’t even realize is missing. She shares simple yet powerful ways to support the nervous system that anyone can do right away.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed by your doctor or wondered why your symptoms aren’t taken seriously, this episode will open your eyes to the truth about thyroid care—and, more importantly, empower you with the knowledge to take control of your health.

In this episode of Thyroid Mystery Solved, Inna welcomes Dr. Izabella Wentz—bestselling author and renowned thyroid advocate—to address a hidden pitfall affecting people with Hashimoto’s: the consequences of detox done too aggressively and its effects on the body and the adrenal glands.. She uncovers a recent case where overzealous cleansing tactics overwhelmed the liver, stalled adrenal function, and sparked worse symptoms instead of relief. They also examine how blocked elimination pathways can keep toxins recirculating, forcing the liver to work overtime and placing extra strain on cortisol production.

Dr. Izabella and Inna investigate detox pathways and adrenals and show you how and why gentle methods that keep toxins moving out smoothly are so crucial, and how stress can derail healing even when the best of intentions are at play. You will see the strategies that work better for Hashimoto’s and thyroid issues and things you can do to help your body detox and support your adrenals. 

Tune in to learn practical tactics that turned a frustrating backslide into a powerful comeback. If you or someone you know has felt stuck despite multiple cleansing attempts, this discussion could be the key to solving that thyroid mystery.

Most people don’t realize that estrogen is a powerful immune modulator—and when it comes to Hashimoto’s, its role is much bigger many realize. So many talk about “estrogen dominance” but there is way way more to this story, especially if we are over 35. While many conversations around estrogen focus on whether levels are too high or too low, the real question is how estrogen influences the immune system and thyroid function.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Felice Gersh, a world-renowned expert in hormone health, to unravel the connection between estrogen and Hashimoto’s. And the truth is astounding—this link is rarely talked about, yet it plays a massive role in why so many women struggle with thyroid issues. We dive into how estrogen directly impacts immune function, thyroid health, and metabolism—far beyond the simplified idea of just balancing hormones. Dr. Gersh explains how estrogen shifts at different life stages, why women with Hashimoto’s often struggle with fluctuations, and what symptoms could signal an imbalance.

We also explore why women are far more prone to Hashimoto’s than men, and how estrogen plays a direct role in triggering and regulating autoimmunity. Dr. Gersh shares how changes in estrogen—whether from birth control, pregnancy, perimenopause, or menopause—can create the perfect storm for thyroid dysfunction. Most importantly, we discuss what women can do to support their hormones naturally, from key nutrients and lifestyle shifts to the right kind of hormone testing and, in some cases, targeted hormone therapy done in a very specific and supplemental way.

This is one of those episodes that will completely change how you think about your hormones and your thyroid. So many women have never heard this before, and it’s information that could make all the difference. Don’t miss this conversation—tune in now and find out what you need to know.

In this episode, Inna explores how two innovative business strategies—the 10X Principle and the 80/20 Rule—can revolutionize the way individuals approach Hashimoto’s and thyroid health. If you are feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice or frustrated with their lack of progress this episode is for you.

Inna shares the story of her client, Tricia, who was struggling to see results despite trying countless diets, intense workouts, and multiple protocols. Together, they shifted focus by setting a bold health goal, not just a little one and by applying these principles, Tricia was able to lose over 25 pounds and regain her energy.

Joined by Ina Coveney, a business coach and host of the Superhuman’s Podcast, Inna and Ina (I know, almost name twins) delve into how these transformative strategies—typically used in business—can be applied to health for a real transformation. They discuss how aiming for bigger, more impactful goals helps to break free from ineffective habits and encourages a fresh perspective.

You will see how you can simplify your wellness journey, focus on what truly drives results, and create a plan that fits your unique needs. It’s a new way of thinking about what you want for your thyroid and your health and how to get there way faster.

In this episode, Inna offers a fresh perspective on health planning for 2025, focusing specifically on how you, with Hashimoto’s can set yourself up for success in a way that works with your unique needs. While everyone else is talking about business goals and career strategies, Inna takes a deeper dive into health planning—and more specifically, thyroid health planning.. For those living with Hashimoto's, traditional health planning often doesn’t quite cut it, which is why Inna shares her approach to creating a plan that’s not only achievable but sustainable for the long term.

Inna walks you through the importance of identifying non-negotiables in your health routines—things like sleep, movement, and self-care that must come first in order to maintain energy and balance throughout the year. She gives personal examples from her own life that helps her manage her symptoms. 

Through the Big Rock analogy, she explains how putting these health priorities first—just like placing the big rocks in a glass—ensures that everything else will fit in around them, including the smaller, less important tasks.

But what truly sets this episode apart is how Inna encourages you to think differently about planning. Rather than viewing it as something rigid or limiting, she explains how thoughtful, intentional planning can create freedom. By focusing on the bigger picture—your health goals and your thyroid's needs—you can avoid feeling overwhelmed or burnt out and stay on track. With actionable steps for breaking down big goals into manageable daily habits, this episode offers a practical blueprint for integrating health into every part of life, without compromising your wellbeing.

If you're tired of generic health advice that doesn’t take your thyroid issues into account, this episode is for you. Inna’s relatable, step-by-step approach offers real solutions that are designed for those with Hashimoto’s, and she’ll inspire you to create a plan that not only fits your lifestyle but helps you thrive.

In this episode, Inna sits down with Emily Sadri to explore a case from her Thyroid Mystery Solved program.

Meet Janet. Janet is a devoted advocate for natural living, who found herself facing symptoms that didn’t align with her healthy lifestyle. Despite eating clean, using toxin-free products, practicing yoga, and prioritizing her mental health, Janet began experiencing fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and significant hair loss.

After being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism, Janet struggled with the idea of taking thyroid medication, feeling it clashed with her natural approach. Through Inna’s Thyroid Mystery Solved program and personalized consultation, Janet discovered the nuances of thyroid health, including the importance of understanding thyroid subtypes and the role of both thyroid and sex hormones in achieving balance.

Inna and Emily dive into:

-Why and when some cases of hypothyroidism do need medication—and why it’s not a failure if you do.
-The importance of not just your thyroid type but also subtype to understand what your body needs.
-The role of estrogen and progesterone in energy, mood, and hair health—and when and why hormonal support (not just natural remedies) may be necessary in some cases.
-The connection between Hashimoto’s, emotional health, and common triggers like EBV.
-And how Janet regained her energy, stopped her hair loss, and lost 10 pounds—all within three months.

Tune in to see how Janet’s journey unfolded and the transformative steps that helped her regain her energy, clear her brain fog, stop hair loss, and lose 10 pounds.

Addressing More Than Just the Thyroid

To dig deeper into Dana’s health mystery, I invited Elyssa Smith, a trauma-informed life strategist and highly regarded speaker, onto the podcast. Elyssa specializes in helping people overcome trauma and self-sabotage so they can live their best lives. Her perspective was invaluable in addressing the mind-body connection, particularly how trauma can impact our health.

Elyssa shared insights into how trauma—both big and small—can contribute to chronic health issues like those Dana was facing. While Dana's biochemical factors such as her thyroid levels, diet, and exercise regimen were important, Elyssa explained that trauma could still keep her body stuck in a state of fight-or-flight, preventing healing.

Unexplained Weight Gain? What You Need to Know About Perimenopause and Menopause

Jump to the FULL SHOW NOTES HERE for all the links

One of the most common things I hear from women, especially those in their late 30s and 40s, is that they suddenly experience weight gain, brain fog, and fatigue. These symptoms often seem to appear out of nowhere, and no matter what they try – changing their diet, increasing exercise – nothing seems to work.

Many women are surprised to learn that these changes could be linked to perimenopause, which can start as early as age 35 and last from 10-15 years. Hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone begin to decline at different rates depending on the individual, which can cause a variety of symptoms long before we experience symptoms we associate with menopause like hot-flashes.

The Case:

• Juliette is my healthy, happy 3 year old daughter.
• One morning, I discovered that what I thought was a little pimple at the nape of her neck was actually a tick.
• Juliette had no idea it was there which is how so many people are shocked to develop Lyme disease because they never knew they were bitten.

Lyme Disease and Hashimoto's: How They Intersect

I invited Dr. Darin Ingles back to the podcast to dig deeper into the issue of Lyme disease and its connection with Hashimoto’s. Dr. Ingles, a naturopathic doctor and expert in Lyme disease, is the author of The Lyme Solution and has helped countless patients with Lyme and related conditions, including Hashimoto’s.

Lyme disease is the fastest-growing infectious disease in the world, with thousands of cases often going undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, especially when symptoms overlap with autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s. In our conversation, Dr. Ingles shared insights on why Lyme disease can trigger thyroid issues and other chronic conditions, like Hashimoto's, and why it's essential to address these root causes early.

As soon as you find out that you have a thyroid issue, or that you’re diagnosed with Hashimoto's, your instinct is to learn as much as you can. As the internet becomes more and more crowded with information, it can be so difficult to find useful information. And, it can be hard to determine who to trust as you try to navigate your way to overcoming your Hashimoto’s and hyperthyroid symptoms. 

I know because I was once in this position and because I’ve spent the last decade helping Hashimoto’s and hypothyroid patients regain their health. 

A lot has changed in this time - and more changes are coming (more on that at the end of these show notes) but over the years, I’ve discovered that there are 5 key drivers of success when it comes to overcoming your thyroid issues and Hashimoto’s symptoms. I share them in this episode along with a big announcement about this show and support for anyone dealing with autoimmunity, Hashimoto’s, and hypothyroidism. 

The 5 Keys to Overcoming Hashimoto’s

These five proven strategies have made a huge difference for me and many of my clients struggling with Hashimoto's.

1. Diet: Balancing Blood Sugar Is Key 

It all starts with food! While everyone's needs are unique, there's one common thread: balanced blood sugar. Eating a balanced diet with all the macronutrients – carbs, proteins, and fats – is crucial. Avoid blood sugar spikes by avoiding excessive carbs at once and pair your meals with protein and healthy fats. Remember, stress can be physical too! Unbalanced blood sugar creates stress on the body, hindering progress.

2. Clean Eating: Ditching Chemicals and Going Organic

Our world is full of chemicals like pesticides and herbicides. Research shows these chemicals can negatively impact our health. So, the cleaner you eat, the better. Prioritize whole, unprocessed foods straight from the earth. Consider going organic, especially for the "Dirty Dozen" – the foods most heavily laden with pesticide residues (check the Environmental Working Group's list). Organic meats and dairy are also beneficial to avoid added hormones and antibiotics.

3. Identify and Address Food Sensitivities

Gluten is a common culprit for many with Hashimoto's. Not everyone needs to be gluten-free, but some may have the DQ2 and DQ8 genes, making gluten processing difficult. When you consume gluten, even without immediate symptoms, the immune system attacks it. This can lead to accidental attacks on the thyroid due to molecular similarities between gluten and thyroid molecules (cross-reactivity).

I personally struggled with gluten for years, but identifying it as a trigger made a significant difference. Consider exploring food sensitivities to see what might be hindering your progress.

4. Targeted Supplements for Personalized Support

Supplements can be extremely helpful, but a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work. Our immune triggers and thyroid types vary. However, some supplements have been particularly beneficial for me and my clients:

• SPM (Specialized Proresolving Mediators): Helps reduce inflammation and calm the immune system.
• Glutathione: An amazing antioxidant that supports detoxification and promotes immune balance. I recommend the APEX Trizoma Glutathione brand for its liquid form and good taste.
• Vitamin D: Another immune balancer and natural anti-inflammatory. I recommend Designs for Health's Vitamin D Synergy or Vitamin D Supreme.
• Remember: These are just a few suggestions. It's important to find what works best for you.

5. Calm the Nervous System

The nervous system has a powerful influence on the immune system. A calmer nervous system translates to a more balanced immune system. Here are some ways to achieve this:

• Meditation
• Movement
• Visualization
• Reframing negative thoughts
• Releasing negativity
• Setting positive intentions
• Affirmations
• Faith
• Mantras
• Self-worth exercises (like clearing feelings of "not enoughness")

I find meditation and movement particularly helpful. Experiment and find what works for you.

Bonus Tip #1: Building a Morning Practice Can Make a Big Difference

Mornings can be tough, but incorporating a self-care routine can shift the entire day. I recommend starting your day a little earlier, even before the kids wake up (believe me, I get it, I'm not a morning person either!).

The book "The Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod offers great tips on establishing a morning practice and provides ideas to optimize your early-start time. It’s hard to believe but the benefits of improved sleep quality and stress reduction outweigh the initial sacrifice of a little extra sleep.

Bonus Tip #2: Increase Your Capacity to Receive

This may sound surprising, but it's incredibly powerful. We all want optimal health, vibrant energy, and freedom from Hashimoto's. But sometimes, we struggle to allow ourselves to truly receive these things. 

My question for you is, can you allow all of the things you picture when you see yourself in optimal health? Take a moment and really feel this question in your body. How much good health can you really receive without feeling like, ‘Oh, gosh, this is too much’? All the things that you want to be able to do when you are feeling better; when you have more energy; when you lose that weight – how much of that joy can you actually allow and take in? 

This might feel like a strange concept, but explore it. Notice any tightness or resistance in your body when you imagine complete freedom from symptoms. Do you feel undeserving of such good health?

We often have subconscious beliefs about deservingness. We may feel good things like joy, love, and health need to be earned. This can block our ability to receive the very things we desire.

You’ve heard the stories about lottery winners who lose their winnings quickly. This is often due to a deep-seated feeling of not deserving it. They sabotage their own success.

The same can happen with health. If you don't feel deserving of good health, your nervous system won't feel safe receiving it. This can lead to unconscious sabotage of your healing journey.

Learning to receive is crucial for overcoming Hashimoto's and any chronic health issues. I have entire programs dedicated to overcoming these blocks: "Clear Your Thyroid Blocks" and my signature program "Thyroid Mystery Solved." You can find more information on my website … which brings me to my important announcement!

https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/163-effective-strategies-to-manage-inflammation-and-reduce-hashimotos-symptoms

The Case: 

• Nancy has Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism and suffers from frequent flare-ups.
• She’s experiencing fatigue, anxiety, jitters and is in constant pain. 
• She also finds that she can’t lose weight and often has brain fog. 

Controlling Common Symptoms of Hashimoto’s 

While these are common symptoms of Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism, Nancy was eager to better manage her condition. When I met Nancy in my Hashimoto’s program, I knew that inflammation was the driver and to get to the bottom of her thyroid mystery, I knew just who to share Nancy’s case with as he’s often called the “Sherlock Holmes for chronic disease”. Dr. Tom O’Bryan is an expert in food sensitivities, environmental toxins, and the development of autoimmune diseases. He’s on the faculty at the Institute for Functional Medicine and the National University of Health Sciences. He’s also the author of You Can Fix Your Brain and The Autoimmune Fix. I’m looking forward to his new docuseries, The Inflammation Equation, being released widely on March 20th. He joins me on the show to explore Nancy’s case and right away, we discuss what is at the root of many autoimmune diseases (including Hashimoto’s): inflammation.

Inflammation: Our Body's DoubleEdged Sword

Inflammation isn't inherently bad. Dr. O’Bryan explains that it’s actually our immune system's way of protecting us from invaders like germs. Imagine your immune system as a highly trained army ready to fight off any threat. Inflammation is how it sends in the troops to battle an infection. And while this is a necessary acute response, if it keeps happening and inflammation becomes a chronic state, the inflammation can stop being helpful. 

Dr. O’Bryan reminds us that chronic, low-grade inflammation is linked to most chronic diseases, including Hashimoto's as well as diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer.  With Hashimoto’s, the inflammation causes the immune system to attack the thyroid. 

What Triggers Chronic Inflammation?

Many things can trigger inflammation but Dr. O'Bryan mentions some incredibly pervasive and somewhat surprising culprits:

• Microplastics and nanoplastics: These tiny plastic particles are increasingly found in our environment, even in bottled water! Our bodies see them as invaders so the immune system launches an attack. Unfortunately, these attacks can damage healthy tissues like the thyroid.

This is where things get interesting for Hashimoto's patients.

Our confused immune system, constantly battling these microscopic plastics, starts mistaking healthy thyroid cells for invaders. It creates antibodies that attack the thyroid, leading to the symptoms we experience with Hashimoto's.

Why We Need to Address Inflammation, Not Just the Thyroid

So, we've established that inflammation is the real culprit behind Hashimoto's, not a malfunctioning thyroid itself. Dr. O'Bryan uses a powerful analogy to explain this.  Imagine your body as a chain, constantly regenerating with new links (cells) replacing the old and damaged ones. Your immune system normally creates antibodies to remove these old cells, making way for the new.

Here's where things go wrong with Hashimoto's:

• Microplastics and other environmental toxins act like invaders, triggering the immune system to attack.
• These attacks also damage healthy thyroid cells, causing the immune system to create antibodies against the thyroid itself.
• As you continue to consume these toxins (like bottled water with nanoplastics), the cycle perpetuates. More damaged thyroid cells, more antibodies, and a progressively weaker thyroid.

This is why focusing solely on fixing the thyroid misses the mark. Dr. O'Bryan emphasizes that we need to address the root cause: the inflammation causing the immune system to attack the thyroid. It's like trying to fix a broken chain by replacing a single link when the real problem is the force pulling the chain apart.

Where Does Inflammation Hide?

It’s clear that in order to get a handle on Hashimoto’s symptoms, we need to deal with the inflammation but what triggers this inflammation in the first place?

Dr. O'Bryan encourages us to ask ourselves: "Where might the inflammation be coming from?" This simple question can be a powerful starting point. By being open to possibilities and exploring the root causes, we can start to identify and address our individual triggers. Here are two areas to start investigating: 

1. Environmental Triggers

We often think of food sensitivities as the main dietary culprit for inflammation.  Dr. O'Bryan highlights the importance of considering environmental factors as well. Aside from the microplastics, he also mentions mold as a potential trigger.  Many people may not realize that exposure to mold in their homes or workplaces could be contributing to their inflammation.

2. Diet

Of course, diet still plays a crucial role in managing inflammation. We’ve covered this in many episodes but Dr. O’Bryan places particular emphasis on the role of gluten in Hashimoto's. Gluten sensitivity is a common concern for Hashimoto's patients because of the link between gluten and the HLA genes.

Gluten’s Impact on Hashimoto's 

Dr. O'Bryan shares some very interesting studies in this episode to showcase the science behind why gluten can be such a problem for people with Hashimoto's. Here's a breakdown of his key points:

• Our Ancestors Didn't Eat Wheat: We haven't evolved to properly digest wheat, a relatively new addition to the human diet.
• TollLike Receptors: The Gut's Sentinels: These receptors guard the intestines, identifying and flushing out potential threats from food.
• Gluten Mimics a Threat: When we eat wheat, the incompletely broken-down gluten molecules resemble harmful bacteria to our toll-like receptors.
• Leaky Gut and Inflammation: This mistaken identity triggers an immune response, leading to leaky gut and inflammation.
• Not Everyone Gets Gut Issues: While some people experience digestive problems with gluten, others may feel the effects in different ways, like through thyroid issues.

Dr. O'Bryan emphasizes a crucial point: all humans experience some level of inflammatory response to gluten. The difference lies in how it manifests. For some, it might be gut problems, while for others, it shows up as thyroid symptoms like those experienced with Hashimoto's.

The Problem with Traditional GlutenSensitivity Tests

Dr. O'Bryan feels that traditional gluten tests haven't always been reliable. He uses the Wheat Zoomer test because he finds it to be a more comprehensive te...

The Case:

Kari has Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism and feels very inflamed.

• She tried going gluten-free but didn’t notice much improvement. 
• She knew something else was going on but couldn’t find any answers. 

I met Kari inside my Thyroid Mystery Solved program and wanted to investigate what was going on. After reviewing her case, I noticed that she has had a fair amount of dental work including silver fillings, a root canal, and recent tooth extractions. 

Her dentist was giving her a clean bill of health but I suspected the answers to her mystery might be in her mouth. 

The Investigation

Our oral health has a lot more impact on our overall health than most of us realize. I knew that if there was one person who could shed some light on Kari’s case it would be Dr. John Augspurger. He’s the founder of Biodentist and co-founder of HUH Institute. He’s studied with some of the most renowned dentists and is a teacher as well. His approach is vastly different from traditional dentists so I was excited to talk to him about the impact of Hashimoto’s on dental health. 

The Overlooked Significance of Oral Health

Many of us understand the importance of gut health in maintaining overall wellness, but what about the mouth? The mouth serves as the gateway to our digestive system, making it a vital starting point for our overall health journey. Dr. Augspurger highlighted the significance of creating optimal conditions within the mouth to support a healthy microbial environment. Just as we nurture our gut microbiome, we must also cultivate a favorable habitat for beneficial bacteria in our mouths. This balance is essential for promoting proper digestion and overall well-being.

Dr. Augspurger emphasized the importance of maintaining an ideal pH balance in the mouth, noting that slight acidity is necessary for effective digestion. However, deviations from this balance can disrupt the delicate ecosystem of our oral microbiome, paving the way for harmful bacteria to thrive. This may become apparent with bad breath, tooth sensitivity, and even tooth pain. Factors such as stagnation and oxygen deprivation further exacerbate the risk of dental issues, underscoring the need for proactive oral care strategies.

Understanding How Oral Infections and Toxicity Impact the Thyroid

Given how important oral health is to our overall health, I wanted to know more about the intricate relationship between oral health and thyroid conditions, particularly Hashimoto's. Dr. Augspurger explained that the mouth serves as a gateway to overall wellness, with infections and toxicity playing pivotal roles in influencing thyroid health.

For example, infections can play a significant role in exacerbating autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto's. Dr. Augspurger highlighted the prevalence of infections within the oral cavity, ranging from common cavities to more insidious conditions like cavitations.

Cavitations, often overlooked in traditional dentistry, represent a serious concern for individuals grappling with thyroid issues. These hollow spaces within the jawbone, typically arising after tooth extractions, disrupt the natural healing process, leading to stagnation and chronic inflammation. Despite their stealthy nature, cavitations can wreak havoc on thyroid health, underscoring the importance of proactive dental care.

Avoiding Cavitations for Optimal Well-Being

Dr. Augspurger emphasized the importance of proactive measures during tooth extractions to mitigate the risk of cavitation formation. He explains the hallmarks of biologically-based dentistry including the meticulous removal of ligaments post-extraction and the use of a patient’s own platelets that accelerated healing. He also injects ozone into the platelets to further reduce the risk of infection. 

Another important factor in reducing the chances of cavitations is to ensure that the ligament is fully removed along with the tooth. When it is, Dr. Augsburger explains, the healing process is quicker and pain-free. Plus, it reduces the chance of infection (because food and bacteria can’t get in). Because this approach is often not an option with traditional dentists, you’d have to find a dentist who prioritizes overall well-being and safeguards against cavitations with a biological dentistry approach. 

Identifying Cavitations: Navigating the Diagnostic Maze

One of the challenges individuals face is identifying and addressing cavitations effectively. Unlike visible cavities that prompt immediate dental intervention, cavitations often evade detection without specialized diagnostic techniques. And, there is often no evidence of an infection. Most people experiencing inflammation and thyroid issues wouldn’t think to look for cavitations. 

For many of us, myself included, the journey often begins with routine tooth extractions, whether it’s your wisdom teeth or other problematic molars. However, most of us don’t think about what may have been left behind (and the impact it can have on our health) after the extraction point has healed up. 

Detecting cavitations from a previous extraction requires advanced diagnostic tools, such as three-dimensional X-rays. Dr. Augspurger explains that these cutting-edge imaging techniques offer a comprehensive view of the jawbone's integrity, revealing hidden anomalies that traditional methods might overlook. Again, a traditional dentist may not be able to detect cavitations with a standard X-ray machine. 

How to Treat a Cavitation and Reverse Negative Side Effects

Once cavitations are identified, the next step is crafting a personalized treatment plan rooted in the principles of biological dentistry. This may mean that a dentist needs to open up the site of the original extraction to access the cavitation. They may be surprised to find what Dr. Augspurger calls an ‘oil slick’, I’ve heard described as green stuff. This is how hard the immune system is working to try to deal with the left-behind ligament or connective tissue debris. The only solution is to scrape it all out and then heal it properly using platelets infused with ozone to fill the hole.  

This approach prioritizes holistic wellness over symptom management, empowering patients to reclaim their oral health with confidence. As patients, we have to advocate for our own well-being and that includes demanding a thorough investigation into the role our hidden oral health issues may impact our overall wellness. 

Are Root Canals a Hidden Health Risk? 

Root canals are often hailed as a saving grace for troubled teeth but Dr. Augspurger says that they pose a potential health risk in the long run. He explains that a root canal is the removal of the nerve and blood supply from within a tooth, making it a dead tooth. This alleviates the pain being caused by the tooth but it poses a new problem be...

As famous as he is, he is one of the most down to earth, kind and generous people I have connected with recently.
Here's a glimpse into what we uncovered:

• The SIBO connection to common skin conditions like dryness, redness, and even wrinkles
• The power of one very very specific probiotic bacteria (it's not one that is typically in your probiotic blends) that holds the key to skin moisture
• How this specific probiotic bacteria can actually get to the bottom of SIBO without the need for antibiotics
• An innovative approach to combating SIBO and also combatting endotoxemia (endotoxemia is a process where SIBO can create toxicity in your whole body, not just the gut) with a special type of yogurt that you can make at home

We also discuss a product (its NOT a cream) that supports all this. I don’t want to mention it here without explaining it properly as there is a lot to it and it would make this email super long to write it all out so please listen to the episode so you can hear ALL the details, plus there is a discount as well.(Ok ok I will mention it in case you really can’t wait another minute. It’s called Gut To Glow and you can get a 10% discount using code “GLOW”.

But please be sure to listen to the podcast because it will explain much more about what it is, how it works and how you can use it both orally and in yogurt to help with wrinkles, dry skin, eczema, psoriasis and also your gut.

The Case: 

• Terri Ann was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and has struggled with symptoms for years.
• She’s experienced weight gain, exhaustion, food sensitivities, anxiety, depression, hair loss, sleep issues, and brain fog.
• She’s seen countless practitioners and has tried everything with no consistent results.
• She’s become reliant on supplements, even though they are not working.

First Steps in Healing Hashimoto’s Chronic Symptoms

I have seen Terri Ann’s Hashimoto’s symptoms before and I knew something was lying under the surface. My first step was to get her access to the Primal Trust Program since they specialize in tough chronic cases like this.  Also if you don’t know your thyroid type of your immune triggers, please join me at my next Free Hashimoto’s Training Here

The Investigation with Dr. Cathleen King

Who better to discuss Terri Ann’s case than the creator of the Primal Trust Program, Dr. Cathleen King? She’s a renowned physical therapist and neuroscience-based mind-body practitioner. As the CEO and founder of the Primal Trust Academy & Community, Dr. King specializes in addressing chronic illnesses, including autoimmunity, Lyme disease, chronic fatigue, long-haul COVID, mold issues, and Mass Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). Her unique approach combines brain retraining, vagus nerve toning somatics, and trauma-informed practices to unlock self-healing so I knew she’d be so helpful with this case. 

The Multifaceted Approach to Supporting Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism

If you’ve listened to this show for a while then you know I am a staunch believer in having a multifaceted approach to supporting anyone with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism. Dr. King is also a big supporter of this approach so we kick off our conversation by exploring how interconnected systems are affected, because having one autoimmune disease often links to others. Triggers for these conditions vary, from infections to toxins and mold, which is exactly why we need a comprehensive, whole-body perspective. Our conversation starts with looking at the foundational role of the nervous system, something often overlooked in conventional approaches.

Your Nervous System's Crucial Role in Managing Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s

There is no minimizing the foundational importance of the nervous system in addressing autoimmune and thyroid conditions. As the master regulator, the autonomic nervous system influences organ functions, endocrine processes, and digestion. Stress responses mark the beginning of these health challenges, prompting compensatory measures by the body. Dr. King focuses on the intricate control panel aspect of the nervous system, highlighting the potential for positively influencing the autonomic nervous system. In other words, we can make a difference in managing our thyroid issues by managing our nervous system.

The Overlooked Nervous System

Despite being the master switch that runs the show, the nervous system often takes a back seat in health discussions. Dr. King explains that this is because we have all normalized stress in our lives, a factor often overlooked in conventional medical approaches. Instead of stress analysis and tailored exercises for the nervous system, the focus is usually on blood tests and markers. And Dr. King would know because, as she shares in this episode, her decade-long journey included a battery of tests, supplements, and protocols, missing the crucial piece of the puzzle: the state of her autonomic nervous system. This gap in the medical approach is the fire that fuels her mission – redefining how we handle chronic illnesses by making nervous system regulation a central part of the strategy.

Understanding the Polyvagal Response to Busy Lives

So many of us are juggling busy lives. Dr. Cathleen King outlines a practical approach to nervous system support for anyone who has a million things on the go. She suggests the polyvagal theory (coined by Stephen Porges), where you map your nervous system states throughout the day, identifying moments of fight or flight, immobilization, or a safe mode. 

Here are the three states and how to determine which you’re in:

1. Ventral Vagal State: Safe Connection and Calmness

In this first state, the ventral vagal state, there's a sense of safety, open connection, and calmness.

1. Sympathetic State: Stress and Motivation

The second state, the sympathetic state, encapsulates the fight/flight response to stress. Chronic activation can lead to stress-related challenges.

1. Dorsal Vagal State: Shutdown and Resting

The third state, the dorsal vagal state, is characterized by shutdown, collapse, and immobility. Recognizing stress responses normalized in this state becomes crucial for self-awareness.

Mapping when you are in each of these states throughout the day is the key because this awareness allows for subtle course corrections within the demands of a busy life. Consciously taking a breath or responding differently becomes a realistic starting point for those managing multiple responsibilities.

Your Nervous System Toolkit

Dr. King provides some great tools for connecting to your nervous system so you can better control it. Feeling into your body might sound like a new concept for many accustomed to being trapped in their heads. It's about tuning into the sensations in your body, a shift for those not used to being present in their bodies. Nervous system tools come in handy, offering diverse approaches from vagus nerve toning to brain retraining and somatics. The diversity of the toolkit she shares recognizes that there's no one-size-fits-all solution, catering to different time constraints and preferences.

Connecting Thyroid Issues with Vagus Nerve Toning

Dr. King shares the benefits of vagus nerve toning exercises, especially for anyone dealing with thyroid issues or Hashimoto’s. The vagus nerve acts as the conductor orchestrating the harmony of bodily functions, serving as the on-off switch of illness. Various exercises, including breathing techniques and Voo-Woo breaths, aim to bring this powerhouse nerve into optimal shape. These exercises involve using your voice to stimulate the vagus nerve, promoting a sense of safety and toning the fifth chakra, where the thyroid resides. The focus on stimulating the vagus nerve is akin to working out a muscle at the gym, enhancing organ function, and improving communication between the brain and body.

The Throat Chakra and Voice Connection to Thyroid Health

The throat chakra and our ability to express ourselves connect with the broader nervous system. Engaging in nervous system work provides the capacity to feel safe expressing our truth. Dr. Cathleen King emphasizes the importance of working on trauma patterns by developing more states of safety. Speaking your truth re...

The Investigation

I hear about the struggles of weight management from my Hashimoto’s and hypothyroid clients all the time so I know how frustrating it can be because it is so much more complicated to navigate. That’s why I was excited to connect with Michael Antonelli. He is a leading expert in functional nutrition and wellness, with a wealth of knowledge in the realm of thyroid health. He is also the founder of Healthgevity, a nutraceutical company. He has a passion for uncovering effective strategies for metabolic optimization so I knew he was the perfect person to discuss Ariella’s case with.

Why It’s Hard to Lose Weight with Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s

The battle against weight gain with Hashimoto's extends beyond thyroid support. Slow metabolism, hormonal imbalances, water retention, fatigue – each a piece of the intricate puzzle. If you find yourself ticking off these challenges, you're not alone. Michael Antonelli sheds light on the complex web of factors, from blood sugar intricacies to the downstream effects on adrenal glands. It's not just about shedding pounds; it's about unraveling the complexities and finding personalized solutions. Understanding these nuances empowers you to reclaim control over your well-being.

Navigating the Blood Sugar Balance with Hashimoto’s

Balancing blood sugar is a cornerstone in our journey toward better health. I often encounter people who've heard about blood sugar but might not grasp its significance fully. It's more than just a buzzword; it's a vital component of our well-being.

Michael Antonelli sheds light on the importance of maintaining blood sugar levels within a specific range. Think of it as orchestrating a symphony—timing and balance matter. For those practicing intermittent fasting or relying on small meals throughout the day, the goal is to keep glucose levels steady. This steady supply fuels our bodies optimally, ensuring they perform at their best.

But what causes blood sugar spikes, and why are they problematic? Michael explains that these spikes can result from various factors, such as skipping meals or consuming high-sugar or high-carb foods without adequate protein or fat. The body responds with insulin production to lower the elevated blood sugar. While this might provide a temporary energy boost, it initiates a cascade of metabolic challenges, contributing to weight gain or resistance.

What’s the Difference Between Brown Fat and White Fat?

Many people don’t realize that there are different types of fat and that each plays a different role in weight gain and weight loss. 

Brown Fat: This is the active player, a metabolic powerhouse buzzing with mitochondria. Think of it as the body's go-to for sustainable energy. Activating brown fat is so much more than weight loss as it influences everything from clarity of thought to overall vitality.

White Fat: On the flip side, we have white fat—a storage unit designed for emergencies. The challenge with white fat is convincing the body to part ways with this resilient fat. White fat is what we are targeting with weight-loss practices like cold exposure, intermittent fasting, exercise, and calorie restriction. What we’re really doing is trying to awaken the elusive brown fat and restore metabolic equilibrium.

In short, brown fat is the energetic performer, which contrasts sharply with the emergency reserves of white fat. We can reprogram the body's response system through movement and diet so that it releases excess fat stores, paving the way for a harmonious equilibrium. 

Understanding and managing the two types of fat isn’t just about weight loss, it provides a more holistic way to reclaim mental clarity, reduce fatigue, and even improve our mood. 

Understanding Insulin Resistance in Hashimoto’s

Insulin resistance is a term that a lot of people use without a clear understanding. What’s important for people with Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism to note is that they can be susceptible to insulin resistance. In this episode, Micheal and I get back to the basics and look at the impact it has on those with hypothyroidism. 

Insulin's Role: Insulin, the blood sugar maestro, orchestrates glucose entry into cells. However, in conditions like clinical hypothyroidism, this harmony falters. Reduced sensitivity to insulin results in elevated blood sugar, paving the way for weight gain and metabolic challenges.

The Hypothyroid Connection: Literature suggests a strong link between hypothyroidism and insulin resistance. Understanding this connection is pivotal. Hypothyroidism hampers insulin's effectiveness, creating a domino effect that extends beyond mere blood sugar regulation.

Metabolic Health: It's not just about insulin; it's a symphony of hormones—leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin—each playing a crucial role in metabolic health. Navigating these intricacies is key to unlocking the secrets of optimal well-being.

When most people think about insulin resistance, they go to the standard advice of "just avoid carbs". It’s not that simple. Michael and I break down this common recommendation, exploring the nuances and offering a more comprehensive perspective on managing insulin resistance. It's time to empower ourselves with knowledge and embrace holistic solutions for lasting well-being.

Demystifying Leptin and Ghrelin

Leptin and ghrelin are hormones that often hold the key to weight management because they control appetite and satiety. Leptin, produced by fat cells, regulates weight, energy, and even influences insulin sensitivity. Balancing leptin levels is crucial for metabolic and reproductive health (especially for those navigating fertility challenges with hypothyroidism).

Ghrelin, another player in appetite and energy balance, influences growth hormone release, fat storage, and stress response. Lifestyle choices can have a big impact on these hormones. Opt for a high-fiber, low-glycemic diet, balance healthy carbohydrates and fats, and consider small, frequent meals. Exercise is also key as it contributes to hormonal harmony. Supplements play a role and when combined with exercise and healthy eating, they form a...

Winter can be a challenging time, especially for those with autoimmunity like Hashimoto's. The usual advice for boosting immunity may not apply, and some commonly recommended supplements can even trigger flare-ups. In this episode, I’m sharing the essential strategies to stay healthy this winter without causing a Hashimoto's flare-up.

Staying abreast of the latest immune protocols is crucial. In this episode, I'll share my most recent Hashimoto's-safe immune protocols, incorporating the newest research and insights to help you navigate the winter season with confidence.

Generic immune-boosting advice may not be suitable for those with Hashimoto's or other autoimmune conditions. Understanding the nuances of your overactive immune system is key. In this episode, I explain more in-depth why following standard recommendations can potentially exacerbate your condition and explore a more personalized approach.

Standard recommendations, such as Echinacea, Astragalus, Reishi, and Elderberry, can potentially trigger adverse reactions for those with autoimmunity. These supplements, often included in various immune formulations, may inadvertently stimulate an already overactive immune system, leading to potential flare-ups. To ensure your wellness regimen is tailored to your specific needs, it's advisable to avoid these immune-boosting herbs and supplements. Always scrutinize product labels to confirm their absence in the formulations you're considering, as even seemingly benign formulations may contain these ingredients. 

The good news is that not all immune-boosting supplements are off-limits! After years of finding answers for myself and my Hashimoto’s and immune-compromised clients, I’ve carefully curated a list of safer options, including:

• Vitamin C: An often-overlooked powerhouse for immune support.

• Vitamin D: Essential for winter, with dosage recommendations based on individual needs.

• Zinc + Quercetin: A dynamic duo for prevention and healing, with a crucial tip on maintaining mineral balance.

• Garlic: A potent, quick-acting option with guidelines on when and how to use it.

• Liposomal Glutathione: An immune balancer and antioxidant to help support your body's defenses.

• Specialized Pro-Resolving Mediators (SPM): Aids in taming inflammation and balancing the immune system.

For those seeking a detailed roadmap to navigate through illness and help prevent Hashimoto's flare-ups, here's an exclusive bonus protocol designed to be followed for 7-10 days or until you experience improvement *please be sure to always check with your medical doctor before starting any new protocol*:

• Vitamin C (5000-6000mg per day): Administer in divided doses, whether you prefer the effervescent delight of C+BioFizz dissolved in water or the convenience of capsules like Stellar C. If you encounter loose stools, consider the refrigerated Liposomal Vitamin C, aiding absorption through mucous membranes.

• Vitamin D Supreme (10,000 IU per day): Vital during winter, adjust the dosage based on individual needs. For those with difficulty absorbing vitamin D, alternatives like Emulsi D3 Synergy or Hi Po Emulsi D are recommended.

• Zinc (1 capsule twice per day): Integrate zinc into your daily routine with meals, supporting immune function.

• Quercetin and Nettles (3 capsules twice per day): Enhance zinc's efficacy by facilitating its entry into cells, aiding in virus deactivation. Take with any meals for optimal absorption.

• Allimax (3 capsules twice per day): Leverage the power of this patented allicin extract with high potency, odorless and effective against bacteria, yeasts, and other pathogens. Use when symptomatic, exposed to illness, or feeling under the weather.

• SPM Supreme (3 gel caps twice per day): Optimize your immune response by balancing inflammation. This higher dose is particularly beneficial during illness, reducing the risk of post-viral complications and autoimmune flares.

• Therasomal Glutathione (4 pumps morning and night): Support your immune system's equilibrium and ward off post-viral complications. This regimen, especially beneficial for those with Hashimoto's, helps prevent viral-mediated autoimmune flare-ups.

When I am feeling sick, I use this protocol for 7-10 days. Not only can it potentially reduce the duration of illness, but it can also serve as a preventive measure against Hashimoto's flare-ups. Your health is a priority, and this personalized approach aims to guide you through a winter recovery with resilience and vitality.
