  Hashimoto's thyroid or immune ⎸ Root Cause Series Ep 212 06.08.2026 11min

  You started the summer with a question. Now you have a longer list of root causes and the exact same question you had in May. Which one am I supposed to do something about first? That is not an information problem. It is a sorting problem. In this episode, Esther goes back through the summer root cause series and sorts every topic covered into one of two buckets using the Hashimoto's thyroid or immune framework. Each one gets sorted out loud so you can see how the filter actually works when you apply it to real information, including the one topic that landed in both buckets and changed how she thinks about minerals. In this episode, you'll learn: Why vitamin D belongs in the immune bucket even though it matters for every cell in your body Why the hair mineral test lands in both buckets, and what changed Esther's mind about it How to take 25 saved screenshots and sort them down to one next step Hit play and get a filter for everything you already know.   Resources mentioned 10 Thyroid Questions to Ask Your Doctor Hashimoto's Decoded: Thyroid or Immune Episode 204, the hair mineral test with Dee    NEW HERE?

  What if your thyroid is a victim, not the cause, of Hashimoto's ⎸ Ep. 210 with Dr. Jess Armine 23.07.2026 23min

  What if your thyroid is a victim, not the cause, of Hashimoto's Your thyroid isn't broken. It's overwhelmed. Esther talks with Dr. Jess Armine, a healthcare provider with almost 50 years of clinical experience. His take on Hashimoto's: the thyroid is a victim, not the cause. It's a downstream effect of something else happening in your body. If your fatigue has ever been written off as laziness, this one will shift how you see it. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your thyroid isn't the real problem in Hashimoto's Why your fatigue is a cellular energy crisis, not laziness The one simple starting point Dr. Armine recommends before chasing every root cause Guest bio: Dr. Jess Armine has spent nearly 50 years in healthcare as an EMT, RN, and chiropractor. After his son's schizophrenia diagnosis, he dove into genetics, endocrinology, and mitochondrial function, developing what he calls bio-individualized medicine.

  Do you keep starting a new Hashimoto's protocol, only to abandon it a few weeks in when something newer shows up? If that cycle feels familiar, you are not lacking discipline. You are missing a filter. In this episode, Esther explains why do I keep starting over with Hashimoto's protocols, and it is not the reason you think. The real issue is that every new supplement or protocol lands with equal weight because there is no way to sort it against what you are already doing.

  Why do I have so many Hashimoto's symptoms at the same time ⎸ Root Cause Series Ep 208 09.07.2026 10min

  Why does it seem like every Hashimoto's symptom shows up at once instead of one at a time? In this episode, Esther explains why your root causes never work alone. A single stressor, like a poor night of sleep, can affect your blood sugar, your gut, and your immune system all at the same time. That is why you have so many Hashimoto's symptoms stacking on top of each other, and it is not because nothing you are doing is working. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a single bad night of sleep can throw off your blood sugar and your willpower the next day How stress affects more than your mood, including your immune function and your gut lining Why small positive changes ripple across your whole body the same way stressors do Just as you are not a simple skeleton, you are not just a thyroid.

  Why Hashimoto's self sabotage is not a willpower problem ⎸ Ep. 207 with Dr. Tabatha Barker 02.07.2026 32min

  You did the gluten free diet. You healed your gut. You worked on your nervous system. So why do you keep quitting two weeks later? If you have ever done everything right and still found yourself back at the donut, skipping your supplements, or abandoning your protocol without a clear reason why, this episode is for you. Dr. Tabatha, a board certified OBGYN who has lived with Hashimoto's since she was 17, says Hashimoto's self sabotage is rarely a discipline problem. It is a belief problem. In this episode, Dr. Tabatha shares the story behind her own diagnosis, her years as a Western medicine surgeon, and the shift that changed how she sees the body, faith, and healing. You will hear why she believes the deepest root cause she ever found was not a missing supplement, but a belief about what she deserved. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Hashimoto's self sabotage often has nothing to do with willpower Why your thyroid is not malfunctioning, but protecting you Why fasting can backfire for a body that already feels like it is in survival mode Hit play to hear Dr. Tabatha's full story and the belief she says is holding so many women back from lasting change.   Listen to Dr. Tabatha's podcast Fast to Faith where she interviews Esther   JOIN THE HEALTH WITH HASHIMOTO’S COMMUNITY Unlock your wellness journey with the free Health with Hashimoto's community!

  Why Knowing Your Hashimoto's Root Causes Is Not Enough ⎸ Root Cause Series Ep 206 25.06.2026 9min

  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 20.06.2026 12min

  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!

  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?

  The Modified AIP Diet for Hashimoto’s: What Mickey Trescott Wants Every Patient to Know | Ep. 200 21.05.2026 32min

  Have you ever wondered if what you eat is making your Hashimoto's worse — or if changing your diet could actually make a real difference? If you've heard of the AIP diet but felt overwhelmed, confused about where to start, or worried it meant giving up food you love forever, this episode is for you. The modified AIP diet Hashimoto's patients are using today looks very different from what it was 15 years ago — and the research behind it is finally catching up. In this episode, Esther sits down with Mickey Trescott, functional nutrition expert, Hashimoto's patient, and author of the brand new book The New Autoimmune Protocol. Mickey shares how AIP has evolved from a single sentence in functional medicine circles into a research-backed, two-phase protocol with human studies to support it — including two studies specific to Hashimoto's. In this episode, you'll learn: Why AIP is a tool and a process, not a permanent diet — and what it's actually designed to do What modified AIP is, how it differs from core AIP, and why it may be more realistic for your real life Why preparation matters more than the diet itself, and the two exercises Mickey uses to set people up for success before they change a single thing they eat Hit play and find out if the modified AIP diet might be the missing piece in your Hashimoto's strategy.   Get the book: The New Autoimmune Protocol by Mickey Trescott, MSc  Mickey's website: theautoimmuneprotocol.com    JOIN THE HEALTH WITH HASHIMOTO’S COMMUNITY Unlock your wellness journey with the free Health with Hashimoto's community!
