In this episode, we explore the fascinating—and often overlooked—connection between Type D personality and thyroid health. Type D (short for "distressed") is a personality type characterized by high levels of negative emotions and social inhibition. But did you know it could also have real implications for your immune system, inflammation, and thyroid function?

Join us as we break down what it means to have a Type D personality and how it may increase your risk of developing or worsening Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and hypothyroidism. We discuss:

• Key traits of the Type D personality

• How chronic stress and negative emotional patterns may impact thyroid autoimmunity

• Scientific research linking Type D traits to poorer health outcomes

• Why managing your mental and emotional health is vital for thyroid wellness

Whether you're living with thyroid disease or just want to better understand the mind-body connection, this episode offers new insight into how your personality might be playing a role in your health journey.
