Feeling exhausted, foggy, puffy, and still being told “your labs are normal”? This episode shines a light on what your thyroid and immune system may be trying to tell you.

ER-nurse-turned-holistic-autoimmune expert Esther Yunkin, RN joins us to break down what Hashimoto’s really is, the most common triggers, why you can feel awful with “normal” labs, and the practical first steps to take if you suspect your thyroid needs support.

You’ll learn:

- Why TSH alone doesn’t give the full picture

- The top Hashimoto’s triggers (vitamin D, stress, gut health, toxins, gluten + more)

- How symptoms like brain fog, weight gain, constipation, hair shedding, and feeling freezing can be early thyroid clues

- When medication is essential—and why it’s only part of the healing puzzle

- How to advocate for yourself without second-guessing your own symptoms

- If you’ve been feeling “off” and craving clarity, this conversation gives you validation, answers, and hope.
