Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's

We take 20,000 breaths a day… but rarely do we stop to consider what we’re actually breathing in.
I recently sat down with indoor air quality expert Michael Rubino to have a thoughtful, eye-opening conversation about mold, hidden water damage, and why so many homes; old and new, may be affecting our health more than we realize.
We covered a lot in this conversation from why mold is often missed (even in newer homes), to the difference between a basic home inspection and a true mold inspection, to how dust testing and mycotoxin testing can sometimes help connect the dots. We also talked about practical steps like HVAC maintenance, proper remediation, and when it makes sense to go deeper versus when not to overreact.
If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of mold, testing, and indoor air quality, you’ll get a lot out of this episode.

Mental health challenges are often an overlooked part of thyroid and autoimmune disease and that matters more than most people realize.
This episode explores the connection between mental health and thyroid autoimmunity, and why symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or brain fog are often biologically influenced, not just emotional. I walk through how thyroid hormone imbalances, inflammation, and nervous system regulation can affect mental well-being, including the role of the gut. We also look at how chronic stress and trauma can contribute to both thyroid issues and mental health symptoms. The focus is on a balanced, whole-body approach that prioritizes safety, individuality, and root causes rather than quick fixes.
Tune in to better understand why mental health symptoms are so common in thyroid and autoimmune disease and what that connection really means.

Is your thyroid health determined by more than just your food choices and lifestyle?
In this episode, I speak with Justin Harris, a certified functional genomics practitioner, who explains how understanding your genetic blueprint can unlock personalized strategies for managing thyroid health. We dive into how genetics influences key factors like oxidative stress, detox pathways, and autoimmune conditions such as Hashimoto’s and Graves' disease. Justin also shares how genetic testing can offer insights into your body’s unique response to food, exercise, and environmental factors. 
By understanding your genetic makeup, you can make more informed decisions about nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle changes. We also touch on the role of epigenetics in how your genes express themselves and how modifying your lifestyle can improve thyroid function and overall health.
Tune in to find out how your genes could be the missing piece.
