In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into Hashimoto’s thyroiditis,
one of the most common autoimmune disorders affecting women, with
expert guest Teresa Kenney, NP. You’ll learn what Hashimoto’s is, how
it differs from other thyroid conditions like hypothyroidism and
Graves’ disease, and why so many women in their 30s and 40s and beyond
are being diagnosed.

Teresa breaks down the basics, shares insight into testing and
diagnosis, and helps us uncover the often-overlooked root causes of
this condition, from stress and inflammation to gut health and
nutrient deficiencies. She also offers clear, compassionate advice on
lifestyle strategies, when medications might be necessary, and what
true healing can look like.

Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed, are still searching for
answers, or want to support someone you love, this episode is packed
with information, validation, and hope.
