    183 // When the News is Heavy, Here are Simple Steps for Stress

    Hey friend — I know life (and the news) can feel overwhelming, so this episode brings you back to basics: belly breathing to calm your nervous system and simple habits to protect your gut. Have you ever noticed that even when you eat “the right foods,” your digestion and symptoms still feel off? Stress and gut health are deeply connected, especially for those living with Hashimoto’s. Understanding the link between stress and leaky gut patterns can help explain why flares happen even when your diet looks good on paper. In this episode, you’ll learn: How chronic stress shifts your body out of “rest and digest” and disrupts digestion Why rushed eating and poor chewing can worsen gut permeability How stress-driven changes in the gut lining can contribute to autoimmune flares in Hashimoto’s If you’re feeling overwhelmed, tired of fighting your body, or stuck in a cycle of symptoms, this conversation will help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and why calming your stress response is a foundational step.   SCHEDULE A COACHING SESSION: Hashimoto’s Health Session https://healthwithhashimotos.com/book-now/   Listen to the ABIDE episode: https://healthwithhashimotos.com/150-hhl-abide/ And get 30 days free: https://abide.com/ref/hashimotospodcast    JOIN THE HEALTH WITH HASHIMOTO’S COMMUNITY Unlock your wellness journey with the free Health with Hashimoto's community!

    181 // What to focus on first when you have Hashimoto’s

    Are you overwhelmed by constantly changing health advice and unsure what actually matters for Hashimoto’s? Dietary guidelines flip, supplements trend, and recommendations change every year. It’s no wonder so many women with Hashimoto’s feel confused, frustrated, and stuck. This episode brings the focus back to what does not change. Instead of chasing every new health strategy, real progress comes from strengthening the foundations your body depends on. In this conversation, you’ll hear why focusing on the basics creates more stability, energy, and long-term results than jumping from one solution to the next. The main takeaway is simple: when the foundation is strong, everything else works better. In this episode, you’ll learn: What to focus on first when you have Hashimoto’s instead of reacting to trends Why cellular health and gut integrity matter more than symptom chasing How emotional and spiritual stress can quietly interfere with physical health If you are ready to step away from overwhelm and get clear on where to start with Hashimoto’s, press play and listen in.   JOIN THE SIMPLE HABITS PROGRAM (Deadline 1/10/26) https://healthwithhashimotos.com/simple-habits-program/    BOOK HOLISTIC HASHIMOTO'S COACHING https://tidycal.com/esther-hwh/hashimotos-health-session-package    Find all links on my resource page: https://healthwithhashimotos.com/resources/   ABOUT THE PODCAST & ESTHER: The Health with Hashimoto’s podcast will help you explore the root causes of your autoimmune condition and discover holistic solutions to address your Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

    180 // Trends for Hashimoto's in 2026: Quick Fixes OUT, Sustainable Foundations IN

    Are quick fixes actually helping your Hashimoto’s, or are they quietly keeping you stuck? As a new year begins, it is tempting to chase the next solution, supplement, or routine that promises fast results. But for women with Hashimoto’s, that approach often leads to more frustration and more fatigue. In this episode, I walk through what I am intentionally leaving behind in 2026 and what I am choosing instead to better support autoimmune health. The main takeaway is simple: sustainable foundations matter more than quick fixes. When we reduce stress, support the nervous system, and focus on how the body actually works, everything else becomes easier to manage. This episode outlines the mindset shifts and health habits that align with long-term regulation, not burnout. In this episode, you will learn: Why small, repeatable habits support Hashimoto’s better than extreme health efforts How stress, routines, and daily rhythms directly affect autoimmune health What foundational health practices matter most according to Hashimoto’s 2026 trends Press play to listen to this episode and start rethinking what truly supports your health this year.   MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE: Simple Habits Program - Starting January 11, 2026 KnewHealth - The non-insurance option I'm using.

    179 // Hashimoto's in Teenagers: Early Signs of Hypothyroidism & Hormone Links

    What if your teen’s painful periods, anxiety, or constant worry are early red flags for Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism? In this eye-opening episode of the Health with Hashimoto's podcast, host Esther Yunkin sits down with quadruple board-certified physician Dr. David Bilstrom to explore how hormone imbalances like estrogen dominance can show up in teenagers—long before thyroid issues are diagnosed. Dr. Bilstrom shares that these “rev without calm” patterns (think bad cramps, heavy flows, panic attacks, and racing thoughts) are often tied to estrogen dominance, gut disruption, and hidden infections. The good news? Addressing them early can reverse or prevent Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism, and even other autoimmune conditions for this generation and beyond. You’ll walk away with hope and practical insights, including why Hashimoto's in teenagers is rising and how simple steps can protect future health. 3 Key Takeaways You’ll Learn: How hormonal menstrual issues in teens signal estrogen dominance—the hidden driver behind 80% of autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism. The gut-infection-hormone connection and why fixing leaky gut and clearing infections can calm symptoms fast and prevent chronic illness. Why early intervention (ideally by age 19) can change the trajectory for teenagers with hypothyroidism & Hashimoto's—and even pass on better health to future generations.
