✨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
If you're living with Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism and struggling with fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, or symptoms that just won't budge (no matter how "clean" you eat) this episode is for you. Discover the powerful gut-thyroid connection and why healing your gut could be the missing link to feeling like yourself again. Inspired by one of the best books I've read in 2025, Super Gut by Dr. William Davis, this episode breaks down how common gut issues like leaky gut, SIBO, and microbial imbalances fuel autoimmune thyroid disease and affect far more than digestion. You'll learn why so many confusing symptoms aren't about willpower or bad luck, but about physiology—and most importantly, how to start healing intentionally with clear, actionable steps. Key Topics Covered Why gut dysfunction is extremely common in Hashimoto's and autoimmune conditions How leaky gut and microbial imbalance impact thyroid hormones, immune function, mood, energy, skin, joints, and nutrient absorption How targeted gut healing can support thyroid recovery and reduce autoimmune flare-ups Thank you for listening—here's to better gut health and a happier thyroid!

Hypothyroidism in seniors is common — but frequently underdiagnosed, undertreated, or misunderstood. Aging bodies metabolize medications differently, symptoms can mimic other conditions, and “normal ranges” aren't always normal for older adults. In this episode, we dive into how thyroid care evolves in life's later chapters, and you'll learn:Why hypothyroidism rates increase with age — and which symptoms aren't “just getting older.”The difference between normal aging and thyroid-driven cognitive decline, depression, or fatigue.Why seniors may need different testing, dosing, and follow-up — especially with heart conditions or bone health in the picture.How untreated hypothyroidism impacts memory, falls, cholesterol, and independence.Medication tips for seniors, including absorption issues, polypharmacy, and brands vs generics.How to advocate — respectfully and effectively — for care beyond a TSH test.Whether you're managing your thyroid after 60, caring for a parent, or wondering if symptoms are being overlooked — this episode helps you navigate thyroid health with confidence.

This Episode Will Rewire How You Think About Healing (& Why Your Gut, Hormones, and Stress Are Never Separate) What if your symptoms aren't random—and your body isn't failing you at all? Healing doesn't fail. Strategies do. What if exhaustion, gut issues, hormone chaos, and skin flares are actually intelligent signals you've been taught to ignore? In this episode, I'm stepping into the guest seat on Well Done with Kat Vong—and we go deep. Not surface-level wellness tips. Not another “eat clean and sleep more” conversation. We're talking about what actually drives chronic symptoms like gut issues, hormone chaos, exhaustion, skin flares, and that quiet sense that your body just isn't cooperating anymore. We unpack why stress is often the root driver, how gut health quietly controls your hormones, why perimenopause deserves way more proactive attention, and the wildly underrated role your identity and subconscious play in healing. If you've ever felt like you're doing “all the right things” and still not getting better—this one will stop you mid-scroll. What We Cover (with Timestamps) [00:02:00] — Why stress isn't just a factor… it's often the driver Chronic stress doesn't just make you tired—it literally creates inflammation, raises cortisol, and pokes holes in your gut lining. This is where a lot of healing conversations need to start. [00:03:30] — My personal health journey (and why it changed everything) From growing up inspired by a surgeon grandfather to developing Hashimoto's myself—why lived experience matters as much as credentials. [00:06:30] — The real root cause of autoimmune conditions We break down the “three-legged stool” of autoimmunity: genetics, leaky gut, and a trigger—and why stress often pulls the trigger. [00:10:30] — Why conventional medicine often stops short The problem with “a pill for an ill,” and what happens when we treat symptoms without asking why the body adapted that way in the first place. [00:16:30] — Gut symptoms you should never ignore Bloating, migraines, fatigue that sleep doesn't fix, brain fog, bowel changes—what's normal vs. what's a check-engine light. [00:19:30] — How stress physically damages the gut This is where everything connects: cortisol, inflammation, leaky gut, blood sugar, hormones—and why I've completely changed how I prioritize stress in healing. [00:22:30] — Deep stress vs. trauma (and how the body stores both) Why you don't have to feel stressed for your body to still be carrying it—and how emotions live in tissues. [00:25:30] — How we actually heal leaky gut (the practical framework) Lifestyle + nutrition + targeted supplements—and why no single supplement will fix what lifestyle is still breaking. [00:27:30] — The key nutrients that rebuild the gut lining Collagen, glutamine, zinc, soothing herbs—and how food and supplements work together. [00:28:30] — Perimenopause signs most women are taught to ignore Mood changes, cycle shifts, irritability, fatigue, heavy periods—why these aren't “just aging” and what to look at now, not later. [00:31:00] — Bioidentical hormone replacement explained (without the fear-mongering) What it is, why it's different, and how balanced hormones protect your brain, bones, and heart. [00:34:30] — The gut–hormone connection no one talks about Meet the estrobolome: how gut bacteria regulate estrogen—and why dysbiosis fuels estrogen dominance. [00:37:00] — Simple gut upgrades that support hormone balance Probiotics, prebiotics, food sensitivities, and why whole foods matter more than perfection. [00:41:30] — Identity, subconscious programming, and healing Why healing stalls when we identify as our diagnosis—and how shifting identity changes biology. [00:44:30] — Visualization + emotion: the missing link Why mindset isn't about positive thinking—it's about retraining the subconscious during the most programmable moments of the day. [00:50:30] — Letting go of the ‘how' and ‘when' Why detachment accelerates healing and obsession slows it down. [00:54:30] — My top daily lifestyle priorities for better health Stress awareness, gut cleanup, whole foods, reducing ultra-processed foods, and tuning into your body's signals. [00:58:30] — Artificial sweeteners, gut damage, and smarter swaps What to avoid, what's okay, and why your sneezing, bloating, or fatigue after meals isn't random. Big Takeaways You'll Still Be Thinking About Tomorrow • Stress is not a side character—it's often the lead villain • Healing the gut often unlocks hormone balance • Perimenopause is a window for prevention, not something to suffer through • The subconscious doesn't argue—it executes • What you repeatedly tell your body, it believes Where to Find Me

If you've ever stood in the supplement aisle (or scrolled online) wondering which thyroid supplement is the "right" one—this episode is for you. In this solo episode, I'm breaking down the truth about thyroid supplements—what they can support, what they can't fix, and why more pills don't always mean better thyroid health. We'll talk about the common supplements marketed to women with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism, the mistakes I see over and over, and how supplements can sometimes mask deeper imbalances instead of healing them. You'll learn: Why thyroid supplements aren't one-size-fits-all The difference between supporting the thyroid and overstimulating it When supplements can actually make symptoms worse What to focus on before adding another bottle to your routine This episode is about stepping out of supplement confusion and into clarity, calm, and informed choices—so you can support your thyroid without burning out your body or your wallet. If you're tired of chasing quick fixes and ready for a more grounded, holistic approach to thyroid healing, press play.

When it comes to Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, we know the struggle is real. The symptoms can be overwhelming, and the impact on your health is undeniable. But here's the thing: Hashimoto's is not just about the thyroid; it's a system-wide issue. Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease, which means it affects your entire body. That's why you can't focus on just treating the thyroid. In this week's episode, Dr.E will explain how Hashimotos is diagnosed, the treatment, and why you should dig deeper and find the trigger behind this autoimmune response. This is a show broadcasted live by Dr. Efrat Lamandre every week with the express purpose of providing free, factual, and practical functional medicine tips to help people prevent disease naturally. Through giving healthy nutrition tips, tips on intermittent fasting, managing stress through diet, and advocating self imrpovement for her patients, Doctor E hopes to help you take control of your health destiny and become the GameChanger in your life.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Autoimmune RESET Podcast, I'm joined by Dr Jill Carnahan, MD — functional medicine physician, author of Unexpected, and someone whose clinical work is deeply shaped by her own lived experience of chronic illness.Jill shares her extraordinary personal journey, from growing up on a farm with heavy chemical exposure, to being diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer at just 25, followed by Crohn's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and later mould-related illness. Rather than accepting these diagnoses as isolated events, Jill's curiosity led her to ask the deeper question so many people with autoimmune disease eventually ask: why?From there, we explore one of the most complex and misunderstood areas in modern medicine — mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). Jill explains how mast cell activation is often not a primary diagnosis, but a downstream expression of deeper immune overload, driven by a combination of genetic susceptibility, infectious burden, toxic exposure, gut permeability, and nervous system stress.We discuss why MCAS is frequently missed or poorly understood in conventional medicine, what a true diagnosis involves, and why testing can be challenging and unreliable if not handled correctly. Jill also shares why attempting detoxification or antimicrobial treatment before stabilising mast cells can make symptoms dramatically worse — something many listeners may recognise from their own experience.This conversation goes beyond theory and testing. Jill walks through her clinical approach to stabilising mast cells, including where natural supports, medications, limbic system regulation, trauma work, and lifestyle foundations fit into the healing process. We also talk honestly about overwhelm — how to reduce toxic load gradually, without fear or perfectionism, and why “clean air, clean water, clean food” remain non-negotiables for immune health.Finally, Jill offers something many people need to hear: hope. Despite decades of immune and inflammatory illness, she now lives a full, active life — travelling, working, and thriving — and shares the daily practices that support her resilience, from sleep and nature to nervous system regulation and connection.This episode is essential listening if you:Suspect MCAS or histamine intoleranceHave worsened after infections, COVID, mould, or detox protocolsFeel reactive to foods, environments, or supplementsWant a root-cause, compassionate understanding of immune dysregulationNeed reassurance that recovery is possible, even when things feel complexA deeply validating and educational conversation for anyone navigating autoimmunity, chronic illness, or unexplained immune reactivity.
Episode Description: Can boosting NAD+ levels actually help with Hashimoto's symptoms and thyroid recovery? In this episode, Dr. Anshul Gupta breaks down what NAD+ does in the body, how it supports cellular energy, inflammation control, and immune balance — and why this matters for Hashimoto's. You'll also learn the best and most effective forms of NAD+, when to use them, and who can benefit the most.
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.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/eating-not-hungry-relationship-food-lisa-schlosberg/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
Have you ever wondered why your Hashimoto's symptoms stick around even when you're doing “all the right things”? There's a reason so many people still feel tired, inflamed, and overwhelmed — and it starts inside the cell. This episode breaks down the idea of good energy and why it matters for anyone living with Hashimoto's or an autoimmune condition. I share insights from the book Good Energy by Dr. Casey Means and explain how low cellular energy sets the stage for inflammation, immune confusion, and that constant feeling of running on empty. When you understand what's happening at the smallest level of the body, the big picture starts to make a lot more sense. In this episode you'll learn: Why poor cellular energy plays such a big role in Hashimoto's How inflammation and autoimmune symptoms connect to mitochondrial function Simple ways to begin supporting your cells so you can feel like yourself again Press play and learn how Good Energy Matters for Hashimoto's and Autoimmune Health.

Welcome back to the Tandem Talk Show with Coach G — in this inspiring episode we welcome returning guest Elaine (previously featured on episode 138) to share the next chapter of her transformation. Elaine candidly walks through the major obstacles she faced before joining Tandem, including surgical menopause, a Hashimoto's thyroid diagnosis, vitamin deficiencies, and a severe car accident that left her in a wheelchair for 10 weeks. Despite these hurdles, she describes how she lost over 50 pounds through Tandem's coaching and structured programming. Coach G and Elaine discuss the phases of the program she completed — fat loss phases and the Metabolic Reset Phase (MRP) — and how MRP helped reignite her metabolism, increase calories strategically, build muscle, reduce hunger, and make the weight sustainable. Elaine credits Coach Gus for rebuilding her confidence and making exercise enjoyable, and she describes how movement, strength training, and better nutrition reshaped her body and life. The conversation covers practical changes that produced results: simple, trackable daily goals (calories, protein, water, steps), accessible workouts (starting from home and progressing to the gym), meal strategies and prep, and the mental shift from “living to eat” to “eating to live.” Elaine also reflects on the unexpected social and emotional benefits — new friendships, increased energy, improved cardiovascular fitness, and even signing up for a 10K. This episode offers encouragement and clear takeaways for listeners, especially women navigating menopause or thyroid issues who feel weight loss is impossible. Elaine emphasizes readiness, self-investment, following a coach, and small consistent steps. Coach G closes by inviting listeners to reach out to learn more about Tandem's Metabolic Reset Program; you can contact Garrett at garrett@tandemnutrition.com for a free call to discuss goals and whether the program could be a fit.
Ever feel like you just can't get enough air, even when your oxygen levels are normal? For many people with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's, shortness of breath and “air hunger” are confusing — often dismissed as anxiety, asthma, or “nothing to worry about.” In this episode, we unpack the lesser-known thyroid connection behind breathing difficulties.You'll learn:What air hunger actually is — and why it can feel like breathlessness without a measurable lung problem.How hypothyroidism slows respiratory muscle function — including the diaphragm.The surprising link between low thyroid levels and anxiety-like symptoms such as chest pressure, panic sensations, and air hunger.When shortness of breath means “thyroid,” not just “stress.”Red flags to discuss with your clinician, especially if symptoms worsen around medication timing, dosage shifts, or flare-ups.Simple strategies that can help — from improving breathing mechanics to ruling out other causes.If you've ever wondered, “Why does breathing feel harder when everything looks normal on paper?” — this episode gives you clarity, validation, and actionable steps.
After 1,000 podcast episodes and over a decade of research, Katie Wells shares her most important discovery: true healing isn't about doing more—it's about simplifying. In this conversation with Dr. Tony Ebel, Katie reveals how she healed from Hashimoto's not through pages of supplements and restrictive protocols, but by prioritizing nervous system health, light exposure, and trusting her body's innate ability to heal. Together, they discuss why the body's electromagnetic nature matters, how stress and complexity prevent healing, and practical (mostly free) strategies for building resilience and adaptability in your family's health journey.-----Links & Resources Access of all Katie's incredible resources here: wellnessmama.comListen to the Wellness Mama Podcast on Apple or your favorite platform!Follow Katie on instagram: @wellnessmama-----Key Topics & Timestamps(00:03:00) - Katie's 1,000th episode milestone and what truly matters after years of research(00:08:00) - Three core principles: body's ability to heal, supplement minimalism, aligning with nature(00:16:00) - The three T's: traumas, toxins, and thoughts—especially the power of inner voice(00:22:00) - Subluxation explained: "a condition less than light" and chiropractic philosophy(00:28:00) - Katie's healing protocol: dropping supplements, no exercise, prioritizing nervous system(00:33:00) - Clinical insight: giving parents permission to stop everything and let healing begin(00:38:00) - Light first: why Katie talks about light before food, supplements, or sleep(00:39:00) - The power of sunrise, sunset, and midday sun exposure(00:42:00) - Electrolytes and minerals: supporting the body's electrical communication(00:49:00) - Movement vs. exercise: gentle movement during healing, not high-intensity workouts(00:53:00) - If you burn easily, you're neuro-inflamed—sun isn't the problem, internal state is(00:59:00) - The banana story: nervous system associations and sensory spillover effect-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

There is something incredibly liberating that happens when you realize your genes are not a life sentence. We have all been told that if a gene runs in your family, you're destined to live out the same story. Celiac. MTHFR. Hashimoto's. Breast cancer genes. We're taught to brace ourselves instead of learning how to influence the environment those genes live in. When the gut is overwhelmed, the immune system stays in a reactive state, and in that environment certain genes become more expressive than they would in a balanced body. And as the gut heals and the immune system steadies, those expressions often soften again.When we move through life in the energy of fearing our bodies, or resenting the parts of us that feel complicated or confusing, it creates a disconnect. Not just within us, but within our children. They feel it. They feel the way we brace around certain symptoms. They feel the heaviness we carry when we believe something is wrong with us, or wrong with them. Our energy teaches them what to believe about their own bodies, the world around them, and what is possible or impossible.If your child has a gene variant that society labels as undesirable, the most healing thing you can offer them is not fear. It's acceptance. It's steadiness. It's the belief that their body is not broken. Because when you hold that belief, they learn to hold it too.Your body is not something you need to fear. Your child's body is not something to fix. Every single part of you was designed on purpose. Every one of your gene variants is a page in your story. And when certain genes express, it is an invitation. It is your body communicating with you and bringing you back into alignment so you can show up in your life as the best version of you.. It is your body asking you to come closer, not pull away.When you view your body through this lens, everything shifts. You stop battling yourself. You stop bracing for what might happen. You begin partnering with your body instead of fearing it. And this is where your deepest power lives. In relationship. In understanding. In the environment you create on the inside.Your genes respond to you. They respond to the way you live, the way you nourish yourself, the way you support your gut and your nervous system, the way you speak to yourself, the way you choose to show up every day. And the more safety and nourishment you bring into your life, the more your genes settle into the expression that serves you.This is the freedom of gene expression. This is the empowerment that no lab report can ever take away from you. Thanks for listening!

In today's episode, I'm opening up about something I've never fully shared before — my own thyroid journey. Even as a practitioner, I'm not immune to the hormonal shifts, viral triggers, and autoimmune quirks that so many midlife women face. My goal with this episode is to pull back the curtain, remove the shame, and give you a deeper understanding of what can really drive thyroid issues in perimenopause and menopause. I walk you through the symptoms I experienced, what my lab work revealed, how my antibodies suddenly spiked, and the surprising reason why (hint: it wasn't gluten or leaky gut). I also share how I'm supporting my thyroid now, including why I chose Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) and how modern medicine + holistic strategies can work beautifully together. Whether you've been diagnosed with Hashimoto's, you suspect thyroid changes, or you've simply "never felt the same" since getting sick — this episode will give you clarity, validation, and a roadmap for next steps. In This Episode, We Cover: 1. Practitioners Aren't Superhuman (and Why I'm Sharing My Story) 2. My Personal Symptoms 3. The Rollercoaster of Thyroid Health 4. What Actually Triggered My Antibodies 5. How I'm Addressing Thyroid Autoimmunity 6. Hashimoto's vs. Hypothyroidism – Clearing Up the Confusion 7. Genetics, Gut Health & The Importance of Testing 8.

Sjögren's syndrome is often dismissed as “just dry eyes and dry mouth”… but the truth runs deeper. For many, it's part of a much larger autoimmune picture — especially when thyroid disease joins the story. In this episode, we uncover how Sjögren's and Hashimoto's share roots, risks, misunderstood symptoms, and why so many people are caught in the middle without answers.In this episode you'll learn:Why Sjögren's and Hashimoto's frequently show up together — and what that means for diagnosis, treatment, and long-term health.The overlapping symptoms that get missed, including fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and digestive issues — and how many are mistakenly labeled as “just thyroid.”How autoimmune conditions evolve — and what current theories suggest about triggers, immune dysfunction, viral links, and genetics.Sjogren's, thyroid medication, and your eyes, mouth, and gut — surprising ways oral dryness, inflammation, and malabsorption may affect treatment success.Practical strategies to support your immune system, protect moisture, reduce flares, and advocate for complete testing (not just TSH).What the science knows — and what researchers are still trying to understand about autoimmunity, progression, and hope for targeted therapies.If you've been told your symptoms are “in your head,” if you're managing thyroid treatment but still don't feel well, or if you've wondered whether something bigger is going on — this episode shines a light on the autoimmune overlap almost no one talks about.

If you're over 40 and have been told your ovarian reserve is low, you've likely heard things like your only option is IVF with donor eggs or your time has run out. But those statements rarely tell the full story. In today's episode, Improve Ovarian Reserve to Get Pregnant After 40, we explore what ovarian reserve actually measures, why it does not define your fertility potential, and how a functional fertility approach can support egg quality, hormone communication, and your chances of pregnancy, whether naturally or with IVF. Even after 40, your body can respond when you understand the underlying imbalances that influence ovarian function. You'll learn • What AMH, FSH, and AFC truly indicate and why they don't measure egg quality • How mitochondrial energy, nutrient levels, and antioxidants influence egg development after 40 • The role of thyroid health and why optimal TSH should be below 2.0 when trying to conceive • How gut infections, immune dysregulation, and vaginal microbiome imbalances affect ovarian reserve • Which functional tests help uncover hidden imbalances that impact egg potential, including GI MAP, DUTCH, GrowBaby, and HTMA This episode is especially for you if: • You are 40 or older and have been told your AMH is low or your FSH is high • You have experienced failed IVF cycles, early loss, or poor egg quality and want to know what else you can do • You want a functional fertility framework that looks at hormone communication, egg energy, and whole body imbalances rather than just chasing lab numbers Next Steps in Your Fertility Journey Subscribe to Get Pregnant Naturally for evidence-based guidance on functional fertility, and share this episode with anyone on their fertility journey.

Did you know a hidden gut parasite could be sabotaging your thyroid health? In this episode, Dr. Anshul Gupta uncovers how certain gut infections can trigger Hashimoto's and thyroid dysfunction.

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!For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/203-fasting-thyroid-hashimotos-renee-fitton/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 atInnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

On this episode of Dr. Osborne's Zone, we're focusing on empowering individuals with autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's, Multiple Sclerosis, lupus, and more to take control of their health through actionable steps. The conventional medical system often fails to address the root causes of autoimmune conditions, which are often linked to nutrient deficiencies, microbial imbalances, as well as chemical and emotional stressors. We need an "autoimmune revolution" - a holistic approach that includes proper nutrition, gut health, and understanding the triggers of autoimmunity. I cannot overstate the importance of nutrient-dense foods and the detrimental effects of processed diets on immune function. In this video, I aim to educate viewers on how to improve their health by addressing deficiencies and restoring gut integrity, ultimately leading to better management of autoimmune diseases.Gluten Sensitive?

If you've ever wondered why thyroid-healthy habits sometimes feel so hard, or why staying consistent is such a different road for those of us with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's, this episode is for you. In episode 95 of the Thyroid-Healthy Bites Podcast, I'm taking you beneath the surface to explore the work behind the work: the deeper emotional and mindset shifts that quietly shape every part of the healing journey. These “submarine-depth” Thriver skills aren't often talked about, but they're the true engine behind sustainable, long-term change. Inside this episode, you'll learn: The 3 emotional shifts every Thriver must make Why perfectionism, comparison, and self-blame keep us stuck The inner work that makes thyroid-healthy living feel easier and more natural A personal story about how the “old me” vs. the “new me” handles stress, holidays, and life Why these emotional shifts shape everything — from food and sleep to gut health and movement This is the episode I wish I had when I began my healing journey ten years ago.

The path to lowering antibodies isn't always quick, but it becomes clearer once you know which five areas matter most.In this conversation, I walk through what thyroid antibodies actually mean and why they can fluctuate from one test to the next. I then break down five approaches that consistently make a difference, strengthening the foundations of health, addressing personal triggers, supporting gut health, reducing oxidative stress, and understanding when something like Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) might play a role. The goal is to help you see where your efforts matter most and why a layered approach usually works better than relying on a single strategy.If you've been trying to make sense of your antibodies or you're looking for next steps, you'll find this episode helpful to listen to.Episode Timeline: 00:00 — What Thyroid Antibodies Are01:15 — Types of Graves' Antibodies03:45 — Why Antibodies Fluctuate05:10 — Way #1: Foundations First08:20 — Foods & Common Triggers10:45 — Stress, Toxins, Infections12:50 — Way #2: Remove Triggers14:05 — Way #3: Heal the Gut16:40 — Way #4: Reduce Oxidative Stress18:30 — Supplements for Antibody Support19:45 — Way #5: Low-Dose Naltrexone21:10 — Summary of All Five Steps22:00 — Invitation to Free ChallengeTo take the Save My Thyroid Quiz visit www.savemythyroid.com/quiz Free resources for your thyroid health Get your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.com High-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto' s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

Think the microbes in your gut are just about digestion? Think again. In this episode, we dive into the under-the-radar role of probiotics and your gut microbiome — and how they may influence not just digestion, but hormones, immune function, metabolic health, and weight.In this episode you'll learn:What exactly probiotics are (and how they differ from general gut bacteria) — and why strain, dose, and context matter. How your gut health intersects with thyroid conditions, menopause or perimenopause, and hormonal changes.How a healthy gut — supported by the right probiotic foods or supplements — might help ease gut-related issues and support better nutrient absorption, immune balance, and overall well-being.What the current science says (and doesn't say) about probiotics and weight management. Practical tips: how to choose probiotic foods and supplements wisely, what to look for on a label , and how to combine them with fiber, nutrition, and lifestyle habits for the best results.If you're navigating thyroid health, hormone shifts, mid-life metabolism, or gut issues — or simply curious about whether probiotics deserve a place in your wellness toolkit — this episode will walk you through what works, what's speculative, and how to approach probiotics with clarity rather than hype.

Many people experience a deep, lingering fatigue that isn't fixed by a full night's sleep, and it often stems from real imbalances inside the body. When mitochondria—the tiny engines that power our cells—are stressed by poor diet, toxins, infections, or lack of rest, the whole system can slow down. Ongoing stress can also disrupt the adrenal system, leaving some people feeling wired and anxious while others feel drained from morning to night. The encouraging news is that steady habits like nourishing whole foods, balanced blood sugar, restorative sleep, and gentle movement can help the body find its rhythm again. With the right support, energy often returns, and a sense of hope does, too. In this episode, I dive into, along with Dr. Izabella Wentz and Dr. Elizabeth Boham, the real roots of chronic fatigue, showing how stress, lifestyle, and hidden imbalances drain our energy—and how practical, nourishing habits can help restore it. Izabella Wentz is an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist and a licensed pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root causes of autoimmune thyroid disease after being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2009. She is the author of three books on Hashimoto's: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause, Hashimoto's Food Pharmacology, and Hashimoto's Protocol, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers. Head to bioptimizers.com/hyman and use code HYMAN to save 15%.

This episode will change how you think about gluten forever.If you've feared wheat…If you've struggled with bloating, fatigue, pain, constipation, diarrhea, brain fog, or inflammation…If you've avoided bread for years…Today's conversation will feel like freedom.I sit down with Cindy Anderson, founder of Manny's Choice and self-proclaimed “good gluten” advocate, who went from severe gluten intolerance and breast cancer to discovering a completely different kind of wheat — one that nourishes the body instead of inflaming it.This episode gently dismantles everything we've been taught about gluten and offers hope for anyone trapped by their symptoms.1. Cindy's Story: Severe Gluten Intolerance, Breast Cancer & a Search for AnswersCindy didn't start a company — she tried to save her health. She shares how she went from:Violent diarrheaMigrainesBloatingJoint pain so severe she felt “90 years old”Itchy skin and rashesBrain fog…to discovering she could eat gluten freely in Italy without a single symptom. This breakthrough revealed the truth about American and Canadian wheat — and how it's been altered beyond recognition.2. The Real Problem Isn't Gluten — It's What We've Done to WheatCindy explains why North American wheat causes extreme reactions:1950s nuclear food testing altered wheat's genetic “essence”“Dwarf wheat” engineered for profit, not healthModern milling burns the kernel, destroying nutrientsGluten concentrated 50–500x higherSynthetic folic acid sprayed on wheat — up to 80% of people can't process itRoundup forces faster harvesting and remains on grainPotassium bromate added to most breadsHer passion isn't for blaming gluten — it's for exposing the deception and preventable harm.3. The European DifferenceEuropean, Egyptian, and certain Middle Eastern wheat follow traditional farming and milling:No nuclear-altered seedsNo rapid-burn millingNo chemical spraysNutrient-rich soilNatural gluten levelsEven those with Hashimoto's, arthritis, brain fog, gut issues, or autism sensitivities often see dramatic improvements switching to these flours.4. Why Bread Used to Be NutritiousBread isn't supposed to hurt — it's meant to nourish. Natural wheat is:Anti-inflammatoryMineral-richGroundingGut-supportiveToxin-bindingA complex carbohydrate your brain needsCindy shares stories of:Arthritis disappearing after 25 yearsDiabetics whose blood sugar stays steadyChildren with autism who remain calm on Italian heritage wheatThese aren't just recipes — they're revelations.5. The Emotional Connection to FoodI share my own fear of gluten and symptoms — chronic pain, bloating, sleep issues. Cindy explains why:We've been marketed to fear glutenWe've blamed a natural molecule for chemically altered wheatHealing your relationship with wheat mirrors healing your relationship with food itself.6. Manny's Choice: Clean, Pure European FlourCindy's company was born from personal need and community demand. Her mixes are:100% European wheatFree of preservatives, GMOs, synthetic agentsSimple (9 ingredients vs. 47 in major U.S. brands)Beginner-friendlyCrafted for health and joyYes — I made the waffles with egg whites and loved them.7.

What This Episode Is Really AboutThis isn't just gluten — it's about making peace with food, releasing fear, and reconnecting with nourishment.“In this short time, I feel like I've made peace with gluten. And that's huge for me.”If you've feared gluten, avoided bread, felt betrayed by your body, or longed to enjoy food again — this episode will give you hope and a path forward.
