What is actually driving your Hashimoto’s?

If you have Hashimoto’s, you may have been told that there’s nothing you can really do beyond taking thyroid medication and monitoring your TSH.

But Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition and while thyroid medication can be incredibly important for replacing the thyroid hormones your body needs, it doesn’t address the bigger question of what may be contributing to the immune dysfunction and inflammation in the first place.

In this episode of The Empowered Thyroid Podcast, I’m breaking down the 8 major triggers and drivers I look at when working with women with Hashimoto’s, including:

• Genetics
• Chronic stress
• Gut dysfunction
• Chronic infections
• Toxin exposure
• Nutrient imbalances
• Blood sugar and insulin resistance
• Hormonal shifts like puberty, pregnancy, postpartum and perimenopause

I’ll explain how these different factors can fit into the bigger Hashimoto’s picture, why I believe so many women who feel like they’ve “tried everything” may simply still be missing pieces of their puzzle, and the importance of rebuilding your body’s resilience rather than spending your life trying to avoid every possible trigger.

I’ll also walk you through the story of one of my clients, Lyndsay, and how uncovering things like SIBO, nutrient deficiencies, insulin resistance and chronic stress helped us better understand what was contributing to years of debilitating fatigue, brain fog, bloating, poor sleep, hair loss and unpredictable weight changes.

If you’re doing “all the right things” but still struggling with symptoms or persistently elevated thyroid antibodies, this episode will help you understand where you may need to look next.
