Health with Hashimoto’s - Thyroid or Immune Education for Autoimmune Thyroid Disease

Your doctor says you have Hashimoto’s, but your TSH is “fine.” So what now?

If you left with a follow-up appointment 12 months away, or a “we’ll keep an eye on it,” you’re not alone. A normal TSH only tells part of the story. Hashimoto’s is two things: a thyroid that can’t keep up and an immune system that’s attacking it. TSH shows the first. It doesn’t show the second.

In episode 224, Esther explains the treatment for Hashimoto’s with normal TSH, and why you don’t have to wait for your labs to change before you start supporting your body.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why a normal TSH doesn’t tell you what your immune system is doing

How to tell if your TSH is normal for a sick population or actually normal

One simple breathing habit that helps your nervous system shift from fight and flight into rest and digest

T2 thyroid hormone is being promoted for weight loss, metabolism, and energy. But does the science support the claims? And is T2 something women with Hashimoto's should consider?

You've heard of T4 and T3. Maybe even reverse T3. But T2?

After seeing two ads promoting T2 supplements, I started digging into the research.

In this episode, I'm talking about what T2 actually does, what the research says, and how to evaluate T2 creams and pills before spending your money.

Because you're the CEO of your own health. You need more than an exciting sales pitch to make a good decision.

Is this the winter you finally stay well?

Cold, flu, and COVID season is here, and the news is already full of rumors, including talk of a Russian plague. No one knows what's coming, but every winter brings sniffles, GI bugs, and lost days. If you have Hashimoto's, staying well matters even more, because infections of any kind can be one of the triggers for your immune system.

Winter wellness with Hashimoto's does not have to be complicated. This episode is a replay of Esther's free Winter Wellness masterclass. It gives you three simple layers to stack, so sick season is not for you.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Simple ways to reduce the threats, from sugar to stress to what you scroll

How sleep, laughter, movement, and your gut support your immune system every day

What to add to strengthen your defenses, plus your rapid response plan for the day you feel something coming on

Do you feel worse every fall and can't figure out why? It may be the "October slide."

The October slide is not a diagnosis, but it's common enough in autoimmune groups to have a name. If you feel worse every fall, you're not imagining it, and you get to look at why.

In episode 220, Esther recaps episode 120 and goes back through the research on seasons and autoimmune conditions.

In this episode, you'll learn:

What SLIDE stands for

What a 2021 study found about TSH and the seasons

Which parts of the October slide you can control

Hit play and build your fall game plan.
