Health with Hashimoto’s - Autoimmune Disease, Hypothyroid, Thyroid Problems, Holistic Health

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.

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.

If you're living with Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism and struggling with fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, or symptoms that just won't budge (no matter how "clean" you eat) this episode is for you. Discover the powerful gut-thyroid connection and why healing your gut could be the missing link to feeling like yourself again. Inspired by one of the best books I've read in 2025, Super Gut by Dr. William Davis, this episode breaks down how common gut issues like leaky gut, SIBO, and microbial imbalances fuel autoimmune thyroid disease and affect far more than digestion. You'll learn why so many confusing symptoms aren't about willpower or bad luck, but about physiology—and most importantly, how to start healing intentionally with clear, actionable steps. Key Topics Covered Why gut dysfunction is extremely common in Hashimoto's and autoimmune conditions How leaky gut and microbial imbalance impact thyroid hormones, immune function, mood, energy, skin, joints, and nutrient absorption How targeted gut healing can support thyroid recovery and reduce autoimmune flare-ups Thank you for listening—here's to better gut health and a happier thyroid!   Resources Mentioned Book: Super Gut by Dr. William Davis - Buy the book at your local bookstore or on Amazon: https://amzn.to/454fWsk The Holistic Hashimoto’s Program   JOIN THE HEALTH WITH HASHIMOTO’S COMMUNITY Unlock your wellness journey with the free Health with Hashimoto's community!
