In this episode, I sit down with Steve Anderson, a compounding pharmacist and owner of The Apothecary, to explore the potential of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) in managing autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. LDN has been a game-changer for me personally, helping me feel “normal” again after years of struggling. If you’ve been curious about LDN or are considering it as part of your autoimmune health journey, this episode is packed with insights.

What We Discuss in This Episode:

Steve shares his expertise in compounding and integrative medicine to help us better understand how LDN fits into a holistic approach to autoimmune wellness.

What are the best supplements for Hashimoto’s? With over 20,000 products available to you, how do you know what vitamins or herbs are helpful if you have Hashimoto’s disease? In this episode, Esther guides you through what is most important to support your body if you have an autoimmune disease. Support your health by following this simple plan.

I take supplements for two reasons. The first is to activate my own body to do something (like create antioxidants, make more collagen, and reduce oxidative stress.) The second is to fill gaps in my diet/life (vitamin D, minerals, adaptogens, etc.) I covered some of this in episode 3 of the Health with Hashimoto’s podcast.
