Ep. 227: Is Your Multivitamin Making Your Hashimoto’s or Hypothyroidism Worse?

You take your daily multivitamin to support your health—but what if it’s actually sabotaging your thyroid? For those with Hashimoto’s or hypothyroidism, certain common ingredients like iodine, iron, calcium, and soy can interfere with thyroid function and medication absorption, potentially worsening symptoms.


In this episode, we delve into:

    • How iodine can trigger autoimmune flare-ups in Hashimoto’s patients.
    • Why iron and calcium might block your thyroid medication if taken too soon together.
    • The hidden impact of soy on thyroid hormone production and medication uptake.
      When nutrients like selenium and vitamin D can help—or harm—your thyroid health.

    Tune in to learn how to choose a thyroid-friendly multivitamin that supports your health– without interfering with your treatment!

    Ep. 226: Why Can’t I Lose Weight With Hypothyroidism?

    Have you ever felt like your body is working against you—no matter how much you diet or exercise? You’re not imagining it. In this episode, we uncover what really happens when your thyroid slows down—and why shedding pounds becomes an uphill battle.


    We’ll dig into the science behind:

    • How hypothyroidism drags down your metabolism—even when you’re on treatment 

    • Why insulin resistance and leptin resistance throw off your hunger cues and fat storage systems

    And most importantly: we’ll map out a realistic path forward. Think beyond calories. We’ll talk about:


    • What “optimal thyroid treatment” really means—and how getting your hormone levels dialed in can make a big difference 

    • How nutrition, sleep, stress, and movement all become part of the equation

    • When supplements or medications like GLP-1s may be helpful—and what to watch out for


    🎧 If you’re tired of feeling like weight loss is impossible, tune in to this episode! It’s your launch pad to understanding why, and discovering how to finally get unstuck!

We’ll also unpack how long it can take for thyroid function to decline after diagnosis, and why the timeline looks different for everyone.


    If you’ve ever wondered “Where am I in my Hashimoto’s journey?”—this episode is for you.

    Ep. 222: Eating Jet Lag: The Hidden Factor Blocking Your Weight Loss

    Discover how weekend meal shifts—‘eating jet lag’—could be the hidden reason thyroid and menopause weight loss feels impossible.


    What if the reason you can’t lose weight isn’t what you eat—but when you eat? In this episode, we dive into the fascinating science of eating jet lag, the weekend habit that throws your body clock off balance and quietly sabotages metabolism, energy, and hormones.


    We’ll explore how shifting meal times can feel like crossing time zones without ever leaving home, and why this matters even more if you’re living with hypothyroidism, navigating perimenopause, or managing menopause symptoms.


    Is eating jet lag the missing link in your weight loss struggles? 


    🎧 Tune in to uncover the surprising truth—plus, how a more consistent rhythm could finally work in your favor.

    Ep. 220: T3 or Not T3: Should Your Hypothyroidism Treatment Include T3? 

    Are you still dragging through the day with that lingering fatigue, brain fog, or stubborn weight gain—even though you're faithfully taking your thyroid meds? Could the missing piece be T3?

    In this episode, we dive into the enduring T3 debate: is synthetic levothyroxine (T4) enough, or could adding T3—or going with natural desiccated thyroid (NDT)—be the key to finally feeling like yourself again?

    We’ll explore:

    • How T4-only therapy became the standard—and why it doesn’t always deliver relief

    • What groundbreaking research reveals about T4 vs. T4+T3 vs. NDT—including why nearly half of patients prefer NDT, and how a significant number experience symptom relief when T3 is included 

    • The science behind hormone conversion—and why not everyone effectively turns T4 into the active T3 their bodies need 

    • Real-world challenges: navigating insurance, finding T3-friendly doctors, and mastering safe dosing timing to avoid overstimulation or sleep interference 

    Why listen? If you’re managing hypothyroidism and T4 alone isn’t cutting it, this episode gives you the insight—and empowerment—you need to talk options with your provider and reclaim your vitality.

    🎧 Tune in—and ask yourself: what if the missing piece has been right in front of you?

    Ep. 219: Beyond the Normal Range: Achieving Optimal Thyroid Health

    Did you know that a "normal" thyroid lab result might not be optimal for you? In this eye-opening episode, we dive into why feeling your best doesn’t always line up with being “within range.” Drawing on expert insights, we explore:


    • Why "normal" may fall short: Lab reference ranges are built on averages—not individual well-being. You may feel sluggish or symptomatic even when your numbers appear untouched.

    • What truly "optimal" levels look like for TSH, Free T3, and Free T4 

    • When “normal” labs don’t line up with symptoms: We unpack why hypothyroid symptoms can persist—fatigue, cold intolerance, weight gain—even when standard labs don’t raise red flags.

    • Taking the next step toward personalized thyroid health: Learn how opting for a full thyroid panel, working with a care team, and factoring in lifestyle can be the game-changer to consistently feeling well—versus accepting “normal” as good enough.


    Whether you've been told you're “normal” and still don’t feel optimal—or you’re supporting someone navigating thyroid health—this episode delivers clarity, empowerment, and actionable strategies.

We’ll talk about what’s really happening in your body, why your hormones matter, and practical steps to keep passion alive—from lubricants and pelvic floor health to emotional intimacy and medical treatments.

    Ep. 216: Natural Desiccated Thyroid at Risk – What You Need to Know About Saving NDT!

    Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT) medications—like Armour Thyroid and NP Thyroid—are derived from pig thyroid glands and are preferred by many hypothyroid patients who haven’t found relief with synthetic options like levothyroxine. 

    But as of August 6, 2025, the FDA shocked patients, providers and manufacturers, moving a crucial deadline up from 2029 to August 2026, requiring NDT manufacturers to submit costly Biologics License Applications (BLAs) or potentially face a forced market withdrawal. This shift also restricts compounded NDT and likely bars imports—adding new layers of access and affordability concerns for many, especially those on Medicare or paying cash. 

    Though the FDA’s head Dr. Marty Makary has since pledged on X to “ensure access for all Americans,” the window is narrow, and no manufacturer has yet filed a BLA. 

    Join us as we unpack what this means, who’s behind these regulatory moves, what patients and advocates are doing about it—and how those of you who rely on NDT can prepare now to protect your treatment options.

    Ep. 213: Is 'Tired but Wired' Your New Normal?

    You’re exhausted—but your mind won’t shut off. Sound familiar? In this episode, we dive into the frustrating experience of feeling “tired but wired”—and how it might be more than just burnout.

    We unpack the science behind this sensation, looking closely at adrenal fatigue, cortisol imbalances, and dysfunction in the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis. You’ll learn how chronic stress and disrupted sleep patterns may be silently sabotaging your energy—and how this state of overstimulation often overlaps with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and hypothyroidism.

    We discuss:

    • What "tired but wired" really means and why it happens

    • How cortisol rhythms affect thyroid health and hormone balance

    • Whether adrenal fatigue is real—and what the research says

    • Practical tips to calm your nervous system and reclaim energy

    If you're caught in a cycle of exhaustion and overstimulation, this episode is your guide to understanding what’s happening inside your body—and how to start feeling better.

    Ep. 212: Do You Have Type D Personality—and Is It Affecting Your Thyroid?

    In this episode, we explore the fascinating—and often overlooked—connection between Type D personality and thyroid health. Type D (short for "distressed") is a personality type characterized by high levels of negative emotions and social inhibition. But did you know it could also have real implications for your immune system, inflammation, and thyroid function?

    Join us as we break down what it means to have a Type D personality and how it may increase your risk of developing or worsening Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and hypothyroidism. We discuss:

    • Key traits of the Type D personality

    • How chronic stress and negative emotional patterns may impact thyroid autoimmunity

    • Scientific research linking Type D traits to poorer health outcomes

    • Why managing your mental and emotional health is vital for thyroid wellness

    Whether you're living with thyroid disease or just want to better understand the mind-body connection, this episode offers new insight into how your personality might be playing a role in your health journey.

    Ep. 209: Crash Dieting, Undereating, Metabolism, and Your Thyroid

    Have you ever slashed your calories, skipped meals, or jumped on the latest crash diet—only to feel more exhausted, gain weight, or see your thyroid numbers worsen? You’re not alone. In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the long-term effects of crash dieting, undereating, and yo-yo dieting on your thyroid and metabolism.

    We’ll unpack how extreme calorie restriction can trigger hormonal imbalances, slow down your metabolism, and even contribute to hypothyroidism -- making it worse! You’ll learn how the body adapts to chronic undernourishment, why water fasting and “metabolic confusion” might do more harm than good, and what strategies actually help restore metabolic health after years of dieting.


    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • How crash dieting can suppress thyroid function and lower your metabolic rate

    • Why undereating—even "clean eating"—can trigger weight gain and fatigue

    • The hidden risks of water fasting and extreme carb cycling for people with hypothyroidism

    • What metabolic adaptation is, and how to repair it

    • How to safely rebuild your metabolism and support thyroid recovery

    • Sustainable strategies for long-term weight and energy balance


    If you’re struggling with weight management, energy crashes, or thyroid symptoms that won’t improve—despite eating “healthy”—this conversation is a must-listen. Tune in to discover practical, sustainable steps to rebuild your metabolism, support your thyroid, and ditch the diet cycle for good.

    • Common Symptoms: From tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, hissing) to trouble hearing in noisy settings or understanding high-pitched voices—know the signs.

    • Autoimmune Ties: Hashimoto’s increases the risk of autoimmune ear disorders like AIED and Meniere’s disease, which cause tinnitus, vertigo, and hearing loss.

    • Getting Evaluated: What to expect during hearing tests

    • Practical Tips: What's the story on earwax?!! And how about Q-Tips? 

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone living with a thyroid condition, experiencing hearing issues, or simply curious about the intricate connections in our bodies.
