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.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/hashimotos-protocol-karyn-shanks/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping If you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.com

In this episode, we dive deep into one of Ayurveda's most fundamental yet misunderstood concepts of Agni. Often translated simply as “digestive fire,” Agni is far more than digestion. It is the body's intelligence to transform food into energy, nutrients into tissues, experiences into learning, and stress into resilience. When this ability weakens, stagnation begins. And stagnation, Ayurveda says, is the starting point of disease.Episode Highlights:Why Agni is considered the essence of lifeHow digestion, immunity, and clarity are all expressions of AgniThe difference between Ama (toxins), Ojas (resilience), and Kapha How does lifestyle shape Agni far more than medicinesWhy are autoimmune diseases not randomSrotas: The intelligent functional pathwaysTimestamps: 00:00 – 05:30: What Truly Governs Health?05:30 – 11:00: What Is Agni Beyond “Digestive Fire”?11:00 – 16:30: Levels of Agni in the Body: From Digestion to Tissue Formation16:30 – 21:30: How to Assess Your Agni?21:30 – 26:30: Agni Beyond the Gut: Mind, Vision, Skin & Metabolism26:30 – 35:30: Strengthening Agni the Right Way35:30 – 41:00: Ancient Bodies in a World of Excess41:00 – 46:30: Mental Stress & Agni Breakdown46:30 – 52:00: Pratyaparadha: When Intellect Turns Against Health52:00 – 57:30: Agni, Ojas & Manas: The Triangle That Runs the Body57:30 – 1:00:00: Autoimmunity Through an Ayurvedic Lens1:00:00 – 1:05:30: Srotas: Rethinking Disease Pathways1:05:30 – 1:11:00: Structural vs Functional Srotas1:11:00 – 1:16:30: How the Body Decides What You Become1:16:30 – 1:21:30: Agni, Dhatu Agni & Why the First Conversion Matters Most1:21:30 – 1:27:00: Can Biomarkers Measure Agni? 1:27:00 – 1:29:30:Treating the Person, Not the ReportAbout Dr Vaidya M PrasadDr. Prasad M, a postgraduate in Ayurveda, has been practicing Ayurveda since 1996.

We dive deep into the science of Quantum Biology, exploring how sound (phonons), light (photons), and electrons impact our health. Dr. Clinton explains the fascinating research behind sound healing, including how low-frequency sounds can repair red blood cells and oxygenate the body. We also discuss practical strategies for nervous system regulation, the healing power of expressing "negative" emotions like anger, and why simple practices like humming and toning can be revolutionary for your health.   In this episode, we cover: [00:00] Introduction to Dr. Catherine Clinton and her background. [01:34] The "straw that broke the camel's back": Dr. Clinton's autoimmune diagnosis in medical school. [03:09] What is Psychoneuroimmunology? Understanding the mind-body connection. [04:19] The positive feedback loop of stress, inflammation, and immunity. [07:32] Steps to healing: Diet, short-term interventions, and natural anti-inflammatories. [10:01] Why observing your thoughts is the first step to healing (you don't need to be a Zen master!). [16:33] Practical tools for nervous system regulation: Qigong, shaking, and chanting. [20:18] The healing power of safely expressing anger and grief. [24:47] Quantum Biology Explained: Electrons, Photons, and Phonons. [25:55] The Science of Sound: How sound affects cell membranes and red blood cells. [28:17] How humming/toning boosts Nitric Oxide and oxygenation.

It often sits alongside autoimmune disease, gut dysfunction, blood sugar instability, and nutrient depletion. In this episode, VJ breaks down how simple dietary shifts and targeted nutrient support can significantly reduce anxiety by stabilising the nervous system at its root.The conversation is divided into two key parts:Part 1: Foundational dietary changes that help regulate blood sugar, calm the gut, and reduce inflammatory triggers that drive anxiety.Part 2: Key nutrients that directly support brain chemistry and nervous system resilience — including magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, and L-theanine.If you've ever felt like your anxiety feels “physical” or unexplained, this episode will help you understand what may be happening beneath the surface — and what you can start doing today.In This Episode, We Cover:Why anxiety often coexists with autoimmune diseaseThe physiological drivers behind chronic anxietyHow unstable blood sugar fuels nervous system hyperactivityWhy reducing stimulatory foods can calm the bodyThe gut–brain connection and its impact on mental healthMagnesium's role in regulating neuronal firingHow omega-3 fatty acids reduce neuroinflammationWhy processed foods increase mood volatilitySimple dietary interventions that can create profound changeKey TakeawaysAnxiety is often rooted in physiology, not personality.Stabilising blood sugar is one of the fastest ways to reduce anxiety symptoms.Gut health plays a central role in mental well-being.Magnesium supports nervous system regulation and calm.Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation in the brain.L-theanine can promote calm focus without sedation.Processed foods increase glucose spikes and emotional instability.Small, consistent dietary changes can significantly improve resilience.“Stabilise your blood sugar to reduce anxiety.” “Gut health is crucial for mental well-being.” “Magnesium can help calm neuronal firing.”Chapters00:00 — Understanding Anxiety from a Physiological Perspective Why anxiety is often biochemical, not purely psychological, and how autoimmune and gut health overlap with mental health.09:19 — Nutrients for Anxiety Support The key minerals and fatty acids that help calm inflammation and regulate the nervous system.

That's why I brought Dr. Evan Hirsch on the show - he's the EnergyMD who's cracked the code on why 99% of these cases have the same root causes. What he reveals about who actually gets long COVID will surprise you. We dive into his "Toxic Five" framework, why your lab work might be normal but you still feel terrible, and his four-step recovery method that's helping people reclaim their energy in 6-12 months.

In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we explore autoimmune conditions through a nervous-system and psychoneuroimmunology lens—moving beyond the idea that the body is "attacking itself." Instead, we examine autoimmunity as an adaptive output of a system that has lived in chronic threat for too long. Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof unpack how immune response, emotional expression, boundaries, trauma history, and social stress intersect at the level of physiology. Drawing on research from ACEs, chronic inflammation, the HPA axis, the inflammatory reflex, and shame-based immune activation, they explain how the brain's predictions—rather than isolated biology—shape immune behavior. You'll hear why autoimmune conditions disproportionately affect women and marginalized communities, how emotional suppression and boundary violations translate into inflammation, and why anger, shame, and safety are biological—not just psychological—processes. The episode closes with a grounded conversation on post-traumatic growth: what it means to live in partnership with the body, retrain predictions through sensory and interoceptive work, and expand resilience alongside medical care. This is an invitation to replace self-blame with curiosity—and to see regulation, expression, and safety as central to immune health.     Timestamps 00:00 – Intro: Autoimmune as protection, not self-attack 08:40 – Autoimmune, ACEs, gender, and nervous system prediction 21:05 – Chronic inflammation, HPA axis & the inflammatory reflex 35:20 – Boundaries, anger, shame & post-traumatic growth 52:00 – Closing reflections & integration     Key Takeaways Autoimmune responses can be understood as nervous-system outputs shaped by prediction and chronic threat. Early adversity, emotional suppression, and social stress significantly increase inflammatory load. Boundaries are physiological capacities rooted in interoception and proprioception—not just communication skills. Training safety, expression, and regulation can complement medical care and reduce flare frequency.     Call to Action:   Join us for a free NSI workshop Feb 11: Integrating the Nervous System with Precision and Purpose: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/integration-workshop/   Learn to work with Boundaries at the level of the body and nervous system at boundaryrewire.com Sacred Synapse: an educational YouTube channel founded by Jennifer Wallace that explores nervous system regulation, applied neuroscience, consciousness, and psychedelic preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence.  Wayfinder Journal: Track nervous system patterns and support preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence.

Dr. Meg Mill, a clinical pharmacist and functional medicine practitioner, joins Dr. Whitfield for a deep dive into the chronic inflammatory conditions he sees daily in his practice. She explains how mast cell activation syndrome develops when your immune system becomes overwhelmed and starts misfiring, reacting to everything from food to water to air. The conversation takes an unexpected turn into GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro, where Dr. Whitfield shares his clinical concerns about young, lean women using these powerful medications without understanding the consequences.

This is Justin Abbatemarco. I'm here with Divyanshu Dubey, discussing his article, Neural Synaptic Vesicle Autoimmunity Following Aerosolized Porcine Neural Tissue Exposure: Insights Into Autoimmune Inflammatory Polyradiculoneuropathy. Div, maybe we could talk about non-occupational exposures? I think many of us don't see this cohort of patients commonly, but I really think this helps inform care, beyond just this specific occupational exposure. What did you guys find in your work? Dr. Divyanshu Dubey:  So, one of the inspirations for this study was driven by the phenotypic characterization of patients who were described in this 2010 paper, which is somewhat similar to some of the patients I currently see in my clinic who don't seem to meet GBS or CIDP criteria. But, based on their MRI findings, based on their CSF studies, the EMG nerve conduction studies, they seem to have this polyradiculoneuropathy presentation, often presenting with asymmetric disease onsets, starting on one leg and then sometimes transitioning to the other side. In some cases, even a non-length dependent pattern with sort of proximal cervical brachial nerve root plexus involvements, which don't really seem to have a blood test, or a biomarker right now. Currently, many of these cases are a diagnosis of exclusion. I was thinking if there's a biomarker that we can identify from this 2006 to 2008 unfortunate event, that might actually help us diagnose these patients. So, once we identified synaptophysin and GAP43 antibodies in the swine abattoir cohort, I went back to our storages of these patients with other inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy, and found about 5% of these patients from a large cohort of close to 300 patients, did have these antibody biomarkers. Some of these patients had paraneoplastic trigger, where we had patients with neuroendocrine tumors, or hematological malignancies mounting a response to these antibodies. But a good chunk of these patients we did not truly understand, or know what the triggers were. That might be a potential for future studies, as we expand our cohort of these antibodies, as well as study further the phenotypic characterization of these cases. Dr. Justin Abbatemarco: Yeah, there's just so much there, really helping to inform future clinical care outside of this very specific occupational exposure. And then, as we talked about in the podcast, I think really helping to think through how neurological autoimmune diseases develop. So, just really exciting work. We really appreciate you coming on, sharing this. We're excited for how this evolves over the coming years. Dr. Divyanshu Dubey:  Thank you, Justin.

In part one of this two-part series, Dr. Justin Abbatemarco and Dr. Divyanshu Dubey discuss the original patient cohort with occupational exposure, what motivated this line of research, and the key findings from the initial workup.  Show citation:  Hinson SR, Gupta P, Paramasivan NK, et al. Neural synaptic vesicle autoimmunity following aerosolized porcine neural tissue exposure: insights into autoimmune inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy. EBioMedicine. 2025;122:106053. doi:10.1016/j.ebiom.2025.106053 Show transcript:  Dr. Justin Abbatemacro: Hello and welcome. This is Justin Abbatemacro. And I'm here with Divyanshu Dubey to discuss his article published in eBiomedicine, Neurosynaptic Vessel Autoimmunity Following Aerosolized Porcine Neural Tissue Exposure: Insight into Autoimmune Inflammatory Polyradicular Neuropathy. Dr. Justin Abbatemacro: Div is a professor of neurology at the Mayo Clinic, and we just finished our interview, which I would encourage everyone to check out. Div, maybe we could talk about the original cohort with this occupational exposure, what inspired you to do this work and then what did you find with that initial workup? Dr.  Divyanshu Dubey: As recounted in our paper, this story began in 2006 to 2008, when a group of swine abattoir workers developed a striking neurological syndrome. These people were previously healthy and suddenly developed severe neuropathic pain, tingling, and variable weakness. The localization stood out, these cases were initially identified by Dan Lachance, who characterized these patients having an autoimmune neuropathy, which was further phenotypically characterized by the work done by Dr. Dyck, calling these inflammatory polyradicular neuropathy based on their nerve root plexus and proximal nerve collisions. And interestingly, a lot of work done back then by Dr. Lennon showed these patients had a unique synaptic staining pattern suggesting there was an underlying antibody driving this disease process. So as I joined the neuroimmunology lab a few years ago, this was one of the areas I wanted to go back and study, not only to find this mystery biomarker which caused the disease in these patients, but also to try and understand how this can help. Dr. Justin Abbatemacro: Yeah. I think my takeaway is be curious, right? You hear the story, you see this pattern. Be curious and investigate, and it takes a team or a village to do it. Dr.  Divyanshu Dubey: 100%. So observation, communication between, as you said, a team or a village with like-minded, passionate individuals is one of the successes of many of our discoveries, not just this one in this biomarker space. Dr.  Divyanshu Dubey: So the technique we use for discovery of these biomarkers was called a phage display where we use the archive sera to test from these patients, the swine abattoir worker patients with autoimmune polyradicular neuropathy. And we ended up finding two dominant antigens, which was synaptophysin and GAP-43, which were present in majority of these cases. Dr. Justin Abbatemacro: Please come back and check out part two where we discuss the latest findings and maybe some non-occupational exposures. And check out the podcast. Thanks.

I had the most fascinating conversation with Dr. Lé Santha Naidoo about something I see constantly in my practice: high-achieving women who've learned to "handle everything" but struggle to receive help—and how this pattern can literally make us sick. Dr. Naidoo is triple-board certified and author of "Fat to Fabulous," but what struck me most was her vulnerability in sharing her own healing journey. After losing a pregnancy in a car accident, she suffered 9 years of undiagnosed pain. When she finally had surgery, her community showed up in ways she never expected—and their support accelerated her healing more than any prescription could. We dive deep into how childhood trauma creates patterns that affect our health decades later, why purpose matters more than hormones for many symptoms, and how community support isn't just nice to have—it's essential medicine.

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. For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/thyroid-labs-hashimotos/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

✨Hey! This week looks a little different around here — on purpose.   Instead of our usual rhythm, I'm airing five episodes in five days.   Think of it as a mini-series designed especially for you — curated, fun, and binge-worthy. Fewer cliffhangers, more “ohhh… that makes sense.”   Every episode this week features a conversation from a show I've been invited onto as a guest — hosted by smart, generous people you'll genuinely enjoy listening to. Each episode stands on its own. Together, they create momentum. So if you've been listening here and there, this is a great week to lean in.   Start wherever you want — or (best option) listen in order and let the through-line reveal itself.    Either way, I'd love to hear what you think. Happiest and Healthiest Holidays to you and your loved ones. ✨   Episode Title: Your Gut Is Running the Whole Shebang (Whether You Realize It or Not) Why leaky gut, low stomach acid, and chronic stress quietly shape your energy, mood, and ability to slow aging There's a reason gut health keeps coming back into the conversation - the body has a way of forcing the conversation when it's been ignored long enough. In this episode of Wellness Your Way Podcast, Megan Lyons and I skip the wellness buzzwords and get into the uncomfortable truth: a lot of people aren't “mysteriously” inflamed, exhausted, anxious, or reactive — their gut has been under chronic stress for years, and it's finally showing up in symptoms they can't muscle through anymore. We talk about what leaky gut actually means (and why it's not a fringe diagnosis), how food sensitivities are often created by stress and inflammation, not something you're doomed with forever, and why digestion is one of the first systems to shut down when the body feels under pressure. This isn't a perfect-diet episode. It's a physiology-first conversation about digestion, immunity, hormones, and why the body stops whispering and starts shouting when no one's listening. In This Episode, We Cover: 00:02 – Why the gut is more than digestion (hello serotonin, immunity, and your “second brain”) 06:00 – Leaky gut explained without the fear-mongering (and why most people misunderstand it) 11:00 – Food sensitivities: why everything you love suddenly feels reactive 15:30 – The 3 R's of gut healing: remove, replace, restore 19:45 – Autoimmunity, Hashimoto's, and the gut connection no one warned you about 24:00 – Low stomach acid: when reflux isn't what you think it is 28:30 – Candida, sugar cravings, and the symptoms people never connect to the gut 33:30 – What to add in for a healthier microbiome (without chasing perfection) 36:30 – Fecal transplants, postbiotics, and where gut research is actually headed 39:30 – My real-life self-care routine (the non-glamorous version) The Bigger Takeaway Gut health isn't about obsessing over every bite or eliminating everything you enjoy. It's about creating an internal environment where digestion works, inflammation calms down, and the nervous system isn't constantly bracing for impact. When the gut is compromised, the body doesn't whisper — it compensates… until it can't. This episode is an invitation to stop treating symptoms in isolation and start looking at the system underneath them. Where To Find Me
