    Why Your Bloating Keeps Coming Back (Even After Treating SIBO)

    In this episode of Thyroid Strong, Dr. Emily Kiberd unpacks another major gut disruptor for women with Hashimoto’s—SIFO, or Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth. If you’ve treated SIBO multiple times and your bloating, fatigue, or brain fog keep returning, it may not be bacterial—it could be fungal. Dr. Emily explains what SIFO is, how it mimics SIBO, and why it often appears after bacterial overgrowth protocols. You’ll learn how low thyroid function, low stomach acid, sluggish bile flow, stress, and antibiotic use all create the perfect environment for yeast to thrive. Dr. Emily walks through how to test, treat, and rebuild your gut to eliminate fungal overgrowth for good—without getting stuck in restrictive diets or endless antifungal cycles. This episode gives you a complete roadmap to starve, kill, and rebuild from SIFO—while bringing your nervous system on board so your gut can truly heal. What You’ll Learn in This Episode✔️ What SIFO is and how it differs from SIBO ✔️ Why fungal overgrowth often develops after SIBO treatment ✔️ How low thyroid, low stomach acid, and sluggish bile flow trigger yeast overgrowth ✔️ The best functional tests for identifying SIFO (GI-MAP, OAT, and more) ✔️ The 3 healing phases: Starve, Kill, and Rebuild ✔️ How to use antifungal herbs and binders without feeling worse ✔️ Why nervous system regulation is the missing piece in gut recovery ✔️ The biggest mistakes women make when treating SIFO Highlights:00:31 Recap of Last Week's Episode on SIBO 01:00 Introduction to SIFO: Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth 01:29 Symptoms and Causes of SIFO 04:15 Testing for SIFO 05:12 Three-Phase Treatment Plan for SIFO 07:16 Nervous System Regulation and SIFO 09:17 Common Mistakes and Final Advice 10:10 Your Next Steps Links & Resources 👉 Free Gut Masterclass: Learn how six of Dr. Emily’s clients healed their gut, lowered antibodies, and lost up to 40 pounds — Check the masterclass  Apply for 1:1 Root Cause Functional Medicine Coaching 👉 1:1 Functional Health Coaching – Dr. Emily Kiberd Follow Dr. Emily Kiberd & Thyroid Strong: 📘 Facebook: Thyroid Strong  📷 Instagram: @thyroid.strong 🎵 TikTok: Thyroid Strong

    The Hidden Link Between Bloating, Fatigue, and Your Thyroid

    In this episode of Thyroid Strong, Dr. Emily Kiberd dives deep into one of the most common yet overlooked gut issues for women with Hashimoto’s—SIBO, or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. If you’re eating clean, tracking your macros, working out regularly, and still ending the day looking six months pregnant, this episode is for you. Dr. Emily breaks down exactly what SIBO is, why it’s so common in women with thyroid issues, and how to properly test for all three types of gas—hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide. You’ll learn how to use the GI-MAP to spot clues, how low thyroid function and stress set the stage for SIBO, and why nervous system regulation is often the missing link for lasting gut healing. You’ll walk away knowing how to test (not guess), treat SIBO in phases, and finally reclaim your gut health and energy. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✔️ What SIBO is and why it’s common in women with Hashimoto’s ✔️ How sluggish digestion, low stomach acid, and chronic stress trigger bacterial overgrowth ✔️ The 3 types of SIBO gases—and why you must test for all three ✔️ How to interpret “SIBO-suggestive” patterns in your GI-MAP results ✔️ The 3 healing phases: Kill, Repair, and Rebuild ✔️ Why regulating your nervous system is key to long-term gut healing ✔️ The biggest mistakes women make when treating SIBO ✔️ How to tell if your issue is actually SIFO (small intestinal fungal overgrowth) Highlights:00:26 Understanding SIBO and Its Impact on Women with Hashimoto's 02:18 Symptoms and Diagnosis of SIBO 03:21 Types of SIBO Gases and Testing Methods 06:50 Treatment Phases for SIBO 08:26 Nervous System Regulation and Gut Health 10:17 Common Mistakes and Final Thoughts on SIBO 11:34 Introduction to SIFO and Upcoming Topic Links & Resources 👉 Free Gut Masterclass: Learn how six of Dr. Emily’s clients healed their gut, lowered antibodies, and lost up to 40 pounds — Check the masterclass  Apply for 1:1 Root Cause Functional Medicine Coaching 👉 1:1 Functional Health Coaching – Dr. Emily Kiberd Link between SIBO and hypothyroidism: PMID: 24944923 Follow Dr. Emily Kiberd & Thyroid Strong: 📘 Facebook: Thyroid Strong   📷 Instagram: @thyroid.strong 🎵 TikTok: Thyroid Strong

    When Labs Look “Normal” But You Still Feel Exhausted

    In this episode of Thyroid Strong, Dr. Emily Kiberd sits down with Christina, a yoga and meditation teacher whose health and energy completely collapsed despite “normal” thyroid labs. What began as daily fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain turned into a journey of discovery, uncovering that the true root cause wasn’t her thyroid alone, but hidden mold exposure in her home.

Through addressing mold toxicity, supporting drainage and detox pathways, regulating her nervous system, and rebuilding strength through weight training, Christina reclaimed her vitality and purpose. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing from Hashimoto’s goes beyond medication—it’s about finding and addressing the deeper root causes, trusting your body’s wisdom, and taking courageous, consistent action.

    Why Fall Can Trigger Fatigue and Flare-Ups (and How to Prevent It)

    In this episode of Thyroid Strong, Dr. Emily Kiberd dives into one of her favorite functional medicine topics—how the changing seasons impact your thyroid, adrenals, and overall energy. As fall arrives, many women with Hashimoto’s feel an initial burst of motivation… followed by a quick crash. The cooler weather, shorter days, and busier routines can all affect hormone balance and energy output. Dr. Emily explains what’s happening under the hood—from changes in thyroid hormone conversion to shifts in cortisol rhythm—and how to adapt your workouts, nutrition, and lifestyle to stay strong through the season. You’ll learn why your metabolism might feel slower in colder weather, how to prevent seasonal burnout, and the best workout and food strategies to build resilience instead of exhaustion. If you’ve ever felt that fall “push” turn into fatigue or flare-ups, this episode will show you how to align your body with the season—not fight against it. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✔️ How fall weather and shorter days affect your thyroid and adrenal rhythm ✔️ Why TSH can rise and T3 conversion may drop in colder months ✔️ Common Hashimoto’s symptoms that flare during fall (fatigue, dryness, mood dips, joint pain) ✔️ How to adapt your workouts—3 lifting days, less HIIT, more recovery ✔️ Why shorter, heavier workouts build resilience better than long, high-volume sessions ✔️ The importance of morning sunlight and circadian rhythm support ✔️ How to eat for the season—warm, cooked foods, root veggies, healthy fats, and protein ✔️ How Dr. Emily adjusts client protocols based on labs and seasonal adrenal capacity Highlights:00:14 Seasonal Effects on Thyroid and Adrenals 03:26 Common Hashimoto's Symptoms in Fall 04:13 Adjusting Workouts for Fall 05:07 Nutrition and Lifestyle Tweaks for Fall 06:42 Supporting Clients in Fall 07:53 Your Next Steps Links & Resources Apply for 1:1 Root Cause Functional Medicine Coaching 👉 1:1 Functional Health Coaching – Dr. Emily Kiberd Learn my secret to sustainable weight loss for Hashimoto’s. 👉 Join Thyroid Strong Elite: 6-Month Group Coaching Follow Dr. Emily Kiberd & Thyroid Strong:  📘 Facebook: Thyroid Strong   📷 Instagram: @thyroid.strong 🎵 TikTok: Thyroid Strong

    The Missing Link in Most Hashimoto’s Protocols: Adrenal Health

    In this episode of Thyroid Strong, Dr. Emily Kiberd dives into one of the most overlooked pieces of the Hashimoto’s puzzle—adrenal function. If you wake up exhausted, crash mid-day, or find yourself wired at night and unable to sleep, your adrenals may be at the root of it. Dr. Emily breaks down how your adrenal glands—those two small but powerful glands above your kidneys—regulate your stress response, blood sugar, inflammation, and energy levels. When cortisol and DHEA become imbalanced, it can directly affect thyroid hormone conversion, slow metabolism, increase inflammation, and worsen autoimmune flare-ups. You’ll learn how to test your adrenal function properly, what lab clues point to dysfunction, and the exact strategies Dr. Emily uses with her 1:1 clients to help women rebuild energy, improve sleep, and finally feel like themselves again. If your thyroid labs look “fine” but you still feel awful, this episode will help you uncover the deeper layers of your healing journey. What You’ll Learn in This Episode:What your adrenal glands actually do—and why they matter for thyroid healthHow cortisol, DHEA, aldosterone, and adrenaline impact your energy and moodCommon signs of adrenal dysfunction in women with Hashimoto’sThe right way to test cortisol levels (and why a single blood draw isn’t enough)How high cortisol blocks T4 to T3 conversion and raises reverse T3Why eating breakfast within the first hour of waking is critical for hormone balanceThe “adrenal–thyroid–immune trifecta” and how stress drives flare-upsSimple steps to support your adrenals through nutrition, exercise, and nervous system regulation Highlights:00:37 Understanding Adrenal Function 01:03 Hormones Produced by Adrenals 02:04 Adrenal Dysfunction Symptoms 02:34 Testing Adrenal Function 04:27 Cortisol and Its Impact on Thyroid 06:13 Adrenal Dysfunction and Gut Health 08:50 Managing Adrenal Dysfunction 10:58 How To Get Support Links & Resources Apply for 1:1 Root Cause Functional Medicine Coaching 👉 1:1 Functional Health Coaching – Dr. Emily Kiberd Learn my secret to sustainable weight loss for Hashimoto’s. 👉 Join Thyroid Strong Elite: 6-Month Group Coaching Follow Dr. Emily Kiberd & Thyroid Strong:  📘 Facebook: Thyroid Strong   📷 Instagram: @thyroid.strong 🎵 TikTok: Thyroid Strong

    How To Train Like An Olympian with Hashimoto’s

    In this episode of Thyroid Strong, Dr. Emily Kiberd is joined by Jackie Ulm, a former Olympian and lifelong athlete, to talk about training hard with Hashimoto’s—and why strength training may be the key to thriving with an autoimmune condition. Jackie shares her journey from competing in the 2004 Athens Olympics in the hammer throw to being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in 2008, and how she’s learned to manage symptoms through nutrition, medication, supplementation, and consistent training. From weightlifting to road cycling, Jackie shows that women with Hashimoto’s don’t need to shrink back from exercise, they just need the right approach. You’ll hear how she balances medication, gluten and dairy-free living, sleep optimisation, and recovery practices to keep her energy and performance high, plus her perspective on why strength training helps women not only feel physically strong but also handle life’s inevitable stresses with more resilience. If you’ve ever felt hesitant to lift weights because of your Hashimoto’s diagnosis, this episode is a must-listen.

    Why Your Elimination Diet Won’t Fix Hashimoto’s (And What Will)

    In this episode of Thyroid Strong, Dr. Emily Kiberd explores why elimination diets may no longer be serving you if you’re still bloated, fatigued, or inflamed—despite cutting out all the “trigger” foods. While elimination diets can be a powerful temporary tool to reduce inflammation, most women with Hashimoto’s get stuck in restriction mode and never move into the key next phase: reintroduction. Emily breaks down the truth about why food isn’t always the problem and how your digestion, nervous system, and chewing habits may be keeping you stuck. You’ll learn why nervous system regulation before meals is just as important as what’s on your plate, and practical steps to finally start absorbing your nutrients, calming symptoms, and reclaiming food freedom. If you’ve plateaued in your weight loss or symptom relief, or feel anxious and restricted around food, this episode will show you how to move beyond endless elimination and start rebuilding strong digestion from the top down. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why elimination diets are only meant to be temporaryThe key role of the reintroduction phase (and why most people skip it)Signs your elimination diet is no longer serving youHow digestion starts in the brain: the north-to-south process explainedWhy nervous system regulation is essential before eatingThree simple practices to shift into “rest and digest” mode before mealsHow poor chewing habits lead to bloating and malabsorptionPractical strategies to support stomach acid, enzymes, and reintroduction safely Highlights: 00:28 The Problem with Elimination Diets 02:19 Understanding Digestion: The North to South Process 03:54 The Importance of a Calm Nervous System for Digestion 04:51 Practical Tips for Better Digestion 06:03 Beyond Elimination Diets: A New Strategy 07:13 How to Get Support Through 1:1 Functional Medicine Coaching Links & Resources Apply for 1:1 Root Cause Functional Medicine Coaching 👉 1:1 Functional Health Coaching – Dr. Emily Kiberd Learn my secret to sustainable weight loss for Hashimoto’s. 👉 Join Thyroid Strong Elite: 6-Month Group Coaching Follow Dr. Emily Kiberd & Thyroid Strong:  📘 Facebook: Thyroid Strong   📷 Instagram: @thyroid.strong 🎵 TikTok: Thyroid Strong

    Could Parasites Be the Real Reason You Can’t Lose Weight with Hashimoto’s?

    In this episode of Thyroid Strong, Dr. Emily Kiberd tackles one of the most overlooked but surprisingly common root causes she sees in her one-on-one clients: parasites. While often considered taboo to talk about in the U.S., parasites like giardia, hookworm, roundworm, and blastocystis hominis are not just something you pick up while traveling abroad. They are far more common — even in developed countries — and can silently drain your energy, inflame your gut, block nutrient absorption, and prevent you from building muscle, regardless of how clean you eat or how heavy you lift. Dr. Emily explains the hidden ways parasites sneak into our bodies, why women with Hashimoto’s are particularly vulnerable, and how infections can mimic or trigger thyroid flares. She also shares the advanced testing she uses beyond the standard GI Map to identify what’s really going on, so her clients can stop guessing and start healing. If you’ve been hitting the gym, eating protein, and still feel bloated, foggy, and stuck in a body that won’t respond,  this episode may reveal the missing link. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why parasites are massively underdiagnosed in the U.S.Common exposures that increase parasite risk (pets, produce, nail-biting, undercooked meat, barefoot walking)How parasites block protein absorption and muscle buildingSigns parasites may be silently draining your energyWhy parasites can trigger thyroid flares through leaky gut and molecular mimicryThe lab markers that point to parasites (eosinophils, low ferritin, low B12)The differences between GI Map testing and microscopy stool testsWhy personalized functional medicine is essential for parasite treatment Highlights: 00:26 The hidden threat of parasites 01:56 Common ways you can get  parasites 04:48 Impact of parasites on muscle and protein absorption 08:35 Parasites and thyroid health 09:28 Testing for parasites 13:11 How to get support through 1:1 functional medicine coaching Links & Resources Apply for 1:1 Thyroid Strong Functional Medicine Coaching Here: 👉 1:1 Functional Health Coaching – Dr. Emily Kiberd Learn my secret to sustainable weight loss for Hashimoto’s. 👉 Join Thyroid Strong Elite: 6-Month Group Coaching Follow Dr. Emily Kiberd & Thyroid Strong:  📘 Facebook: Thyroid Strong   📷 Instagram: @thyroid.strong 🎵 TikTok: Thyroid Strong
