The Simplicity Sessions

Hashimoto’s and associated triggers


Listen Later

Welcome back for another bite of Simplicity. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, registered holistic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, the best-selling author of the Simplicity Project, and the creator of the women's revolutionary health program, The Hormone Project.

In this simplicity bite, we will be discussing a big question that came into us as we’ve been chatting more about thyroid health recently, and that is Hashimoto’s and related triggers.

This can be a heavy topic to discuss so please take a moment, grab yourself some tea or water, find a space that feels right and once you’re ready, we’ll dive in together.

If you have a question, send it on over to [email protected] or via Instagram at @jennpike and I'll do my best to share my insights, thoughts, and advice.

Here are the main topics of this simplicity bite:

  • What is Hashimoto’s?
  • Important triggers to be aware of
  • Connecting life long health experiences to Hashimoto's thyroiditis
  • Hypothyroidism versus Hashimoto's
  • What you will see when testing for Hashimoto’s
  • Deeper dive into symptoms and triggers
  • The importance of paying attention to your body and asking for tests
  • Remission

We discussed my sister’s journey with Hashimoto’s on a recent episode from March 16th so please feel free to go back and listen via Spotify, Stitcher or Apple Podcasts, it is a powerful conversation. For a deeper understanding of how your thyroid works, I would recommend also listening to our bite-size session from last Thursday, April 1st, it is a great educational listen.

Hoping this episode supports you on the path of knowing, accepting, and loving who you truly are. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!

Quotes:

“Hashimoto's, it's an autoimmune disorder where your immune system creates antibodies that specifically attack the thyroid gland.”

“Women are suffering and men can have this too, but it is definitely more common women”

“Some of the main triggers can be stress, can be infections, can be nutrient deficiencies. They can be environmental toxins, can be adrenal dysfunction, could be viruses, can be food intolerances or histamine intolerances, and can definitely be hormonal imbalances.”

“So think of the world we're living in right now, over sanitizing, over sterilizing, over-cleaning. I mean, we already had environmental toxins that we're hitting our system at such a high velocity. In so many ways, both obvious and not for so long. And now it has just been amplified gut infections, gut dysbiosis.”

“If you catch this early enough, if you start to pay attention to the signs and the symptoms, if you fight for the tests that you need to have, and then you work with a team or an individual who actually knows what to do with those results, not just telling you what to do, but explaining it to you because you have to understand you can 100% go into remission, which means bringing antibodies down to almost non-existent levels, which is what my sister was able to do and what we have so many women do.”
