When your thyroid’s off, your brain can feel like it’s in a fog you just can’t shake. From forgetfulness and fatigue to anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere, those little hormones can cause big problems—especially when something deeper, like Hashimoto’s, is at play. I sat down with Dr. Heather Stone, a powerhouse in the world of thyroid health, who’s helped thousands of women finally get answers. We talked all about how thyroid issues show up in the brain—and why they’re so often misunderstood or overlooked.

Dr. Heather shared what she’s learned after 20+ years of digging deep with her patients, many of whom were told “everything looks normal” when they clearly didn’t feel that way. She explains how symptoms like brain fog or even tremors can sometimes mimic things like Parkinson’s, and why so many women with low thyroid actually have an autoimmune condition. We also got into the gluten connection (yes, it matters!) and the simple daily habits she swears by to help get your brain and body back on track. The best part? It’s all doable and starts with understanding what your body’s really trying to tell you.

Dr. Heather’s warm, straight-talking approach makes complex science easy to understand and even easier to act on. If you’ve been brushed off, told your labs are “normal,” or feel like you’re constantly running on empty, this conversation is for you. Tune in to learn how small shifts can lead to real, lasting change.
