We’re often told that in order to lose weight, we need to be in a calorie deficit, do lots of cardio, and push ourselves as hard as possible at the gym. This method might work for some, but for people with autoimmune diseases, specifically Hashimoto’s, we need to throw out the whole playbook.   

This is where Dr. Emily Kiberd comes in to save the day! For those of us with Hashimoto’s, traditional diet and exercise won’t do the trick, and she explains why in this episode. Today, we discuss so many aspects of why our exercise needs are different, and what changes we should make to reach our health and fitness goals. Beginning with Emily’s story, we explore how she was first diagnosed and why she started the Thyroid Strong Program.

Later, we dive into how strength and weight training, as well as eating a high protein diet is best for Hashimoto’s, and how to best integrate these practices into our daily routines. Then, we touch on which exercises we can do to gradually build strength in the muscles and joints that are most affected by the disease.
