If you've got Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism, odds are you've had some weight gain and weight loss challenges. You've probably spent years, if not decades on a diet. In this conversation, Karen & I cover:

• Our respective dieting experiences over many decades - I was 11 and Karen was 13 when we went on our first diet.
• How to escape the diet trap.
• What we can learn from dieting.
• Finding the right 'way of eating'.
• Food addiction.
• Fasting - in particular the Fasting Mimicking Diet.
• Finding our own ebb and flo as part of a lifestyle approach.
• Setting realistic weight loss goals.
• Is tracking helpful?
• Body image
• Peri-menopause and how hormonal changes during this period can cause weight gain - and what to do about it.
• The connection with thyroid hormones and peri-menopause.
