    Why Knowing Your Hashimoto's Root Causes Is Not Enough ⎸ Root Cause Series Ep 206

    You have done the research and probably already know your root causes, but what do you do next when new protocols, supplements, or advice pop up? In this episode I’ll help you build a personal filter — discernment — so you can decide what’s worth trying and what to skip.   We’ll walk through real-life examples (social media supplements, new diets, and flare-ups) to show how discernment helps you ask the right questions, run a checklist, and avoid all-or-nothing thinking. Think of this as your practical, everyday tool for applying what you already know.   If you’re just starting, hit the show notes for Hashimoto’s Decoded to learn your root causes. If you already know them, let’s build your discernment framework together so you can confidently choose what’s actually for you.   HASHIMOTO'S DECODED:  https://healthwithhashimotos.com/hashimotos-decoded/ HASHIMOTO'S DISCERNMENT COACHING: https://healthwithhashimotos.com/book-now/     JOIN THE HEALTH WITH HASHIMOTO’S COMMUNITY Unlock your wellness journey with the free Health with Hashimoto's community!

    Bad Influence Got the Problems Right but the Solutions Wrong - A Book Review

    The BMJ called Bad Influence "a timely and eye-opening investigation...essential reading," but spoiler: I don’t agree. I found the reporting solid, and she made good points about how social media prioritizes stories over science, but I disagreed with nearly every solution. As an American who values free speech and medical autonomy, I want control over my health and freedom to speak. The author’s UK, socialized-medicine perspective leads her to lean toward regulation and centralized answers — that’s just not my worldview. I gave the book two stars: worth reading if you want to understand the problems, but don’t expect the proposed fixes to support medical autonomy nor freedom of speech.   Get the book Bad Influence: How the Internet Hijacked Our Health by Deborah Cohen   JOIN THE HEALTH WITH HASHIMOTO’S COMMUNITY Unlock your wellness journey with the free Health with Hashimoto's community!

    Vitamin D as a Root Cause of Hashimoto's ⎸ Root Cause Series Ep 203

    Are you still exhausted even though you're doing everything you can for your Hashimoto's? The problem might be something you literally cannot feel. Vitamin D is one of the most common root cause triggers for Hashimoto's, and most women have no idea their levels are low. You cannot feel it when your vitamin D is low. You cannot feel it when it is high. The only way to know is to test. And if your levels are not where they need to be, your immune system is missing one of its most important tools for calming down. In this episode, Esther breaks down why vitamin D is a root cause trigger for Hashimoto's, how it works in your immune system, and what you actually need to know about getting your levels up, whether that is through summer sun exposure or smart supplementation. In this episode, you will learn: Why vitamin D acts like a brake system for your immune system and what happens when those brakes fail What optimal vitamin D levels actually look like and why "not deficient" is not good enough How summer sun exposure works, why it is not as simple as going outside, and what to do about it year round Ready to map out all of your root causes? Hashimoto's Decoded: Root Causes Revealed walks you through the whole picture in under an hour, with a workbook to help you figure out your next step. https://healthwithhashimotos.com/hashimotos-decoded/   RELATED EPISODES: #9: Vitamin D and Autoimmune Disease #62: How to pick a vitamin D supplement   JOIN THE HEALTH WITH HASHIMOTO'S COMMUNITY Unlock your wellness journey with the free Health with Hashimoto's community!
