Ever wondered if the way we’ve been taught to eat actually supports your thyroid?

In this episode, we reimagine what a thyroid-friendly diet looks like in 2026. With the USDA’s newly released Real Food Pyramid shaking up decades of nutrition advice and Dr. Andrew Weil’s Anti-Inflammatory Pyramid gaining traction, where do people with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s fit in?

Join us as we break down:

🍽️ What these new food pyramids actually recommend (and why they matter)

🥦 How protein, veggies, healthy fats, and whole foods can impact inflammation, energy, and metabolic health

🧠 Why a one-size-fits-all chart might not work — and how personalization could make all the difference

🥑 Practical tips to tailor big nutrition trends to YOUR thyroid goals

Whether you’re curious about balancing blood sugar, calming inflammation, a healthy weight, or simply eating in a way that feels good, this episode gives you a fresh, science-based map for your plate.

🎧 Tune in and start eating smarter — not harder — for your thyroid health.

Brain fog that won’t lift. Crushing fatigue. Mood changes, anxiety, headaches, or memory slips that make you feel like you’re not quite yourself anymore.

What if these symptoms aren’t random — and aren’t “all in your head” — but are signals from your thyroid to your brain?

In this eye-opening episode of the Paloma podcast, we dive deep into the powerful and often overlooked connection between hypothyroidism and the central nervous system.

Learn how thyroid hormones act like chemical messengers for your brain, why low levels can slow nerve signaling, and how untreated or under-treated hypothyroidism may affect cognition, emotions, and neurological function.

We also unpack the science behind symptoms many patients struggle to get validated — from brain fog and depression to migraines and coordination issues — and explain why standard thyroid labs don’t always tell the whole story.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or frustrated by lingering neurological symptoms, this episode brings clarity, validation, and a path forward. 

🎧 Tune in now for a deeper understanding of what’s happening in your brain — and how personalized, thyroid-focused care can help you feel sharp, steady, and fully yourself again.

Ever feel like you’re doing everything “right”—clean eating, hitting your steps, taking your thyroid meds—yet the weight just won’t budge? You’re not alone. This week on The Paloma Podcast, we’re unpacking the hype around berberine—the plant compound social media calls “nature’s Ozempic”—and what it actually means for people with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s.

We break down the science behind how berberine may support metabolism, improve insulin sensitivity, and even influence gut health—without replacing your thyroid treatment. Learn why weight loss feels harder when your thyroid is underactive, what the research actually shows about berberine’s effects, and the safety considerations every thyroid patient should know before trying it.

Whether you’re curious about supplements, tired of the diet rollercoaster, or ready to make informed choices that work with your body—not against it—this episode gives you evidence-based insights and practical tips you can use today.

🎧 Tune in now and discover whether berberine belongs in your thyroid wellness toolkit.

In this eye-opening episode of Paloma Health's podcast, we dive into the powerful — and often overlooked — role of gut dysbiosis and how an imbalanced microbiome can disrupt your thyroid, hormones, and weight. If you’re living with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s and struggling with bloating, fatigue, inflammation, stubborn weight gain, or worsening hormone symptoms, dysbiosis may be a hidden driver behind how you feel.

We unpack the science of the thyroid-gut axis, explaining how gut dysbiosis can interfere with thyroid hormone absorption and conversion, increase intestinal permeability, and fuel chronic inflammation — all of which may worsen autoimmune thyroid conditions. You’ll learn why gastrointestinal symptoms are so common in thyroid patients, yet often overlooked in conventional treatment plans.

This episode also explores the estrobolome, the collection of gut bacteria responsible for regulating estrogen metabolism. When dysbiosis is present, estrogen clearance can be impaired — a problem that becomes especially impactful during perimenopause and menopause, when hormonal balance is already shifting. The result? Increased symptoms, metabolic slowdown, and added resistance to weight loss.

We connect the dots between dysbiosis, gut microbiota diversity, Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, menopause, and weight regulation, showing how gut imbalances can ripple through multiple systems at once. Most importantly, we share clinician-informed, practical strategies to begin restoring gut balance in ways that support your thyroid — without extreme elimination diets or generic supplement advice.

🎧If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” for your thyroid but still don’t feel well, listen in now! This episode will help you understand why gut dysbiosis matters — and how healing the gut may be the key to real, lasting progress.

Every January, we’re told to try harder, push more, and fix what’s “wrong” with our bodies. But what if the problem isn’t you—or your willpower?

Gallbladder pain is often blamed on diet, gallstones, or digestive issues… but for many people with thyroid conditions, the link runs deeper. In this episode, we explore how Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism may contribute to gallbladder dysfunction, why symptoms are often misattributed, and what you can do to get answers.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• How low thyroid function can impact bile production, digestion, and gallbladder health — and why so many patients are caught in a cycle of pain and frustration.

• The overlapping symptoms that get overlooked, including bloating, upper abdominal discomfort, nausea, and fatigue — and why they may be mistaken for “just digestive issues.”

• The role of inflammation, autoimmune triggers, and hormonal changes in gallbladder function for people with Hashimoto’s.

• How thyroid medication, diet, and gut support can influence gallbladder health and improve treatment outcomes.

• Practical strategies to support digestion, reduce inflammation, and work with your healthcare provider to identify hidden contributors.

• What research tells us — and what remains unknown — about the thyroid-gallbladder connection.

If you’ve experienced persistent digestive pain, bloating, or fatigue despite managing your thyroid, or if you’ve ever wondered why gallbladder issues seem harder to resolve with Hashimoto’s, this episode sheds light on a connection few people talk about.

🎧 Hit “Play” and discover how understanding your thyroid could hold the key to better gallbladder and digestive health.

Hypothyroidism in seniors is common — but frequently underdiagnosed, undertreated, or misunderstood. Aging bodies metabolize medications differently, symptoms can mimic other conditions, and “normal ranges” aren’t always normal for older adults.

In this episode, we dive into how thyroid care evolves in life’s later chapters, and you'll learn:

• Why hypothyroidism rates increase with age — and which symptoms aren’t “just getting older.”

• The difference between normal aging and thyroid-driven cognitive decline, depression, or fatigue.

• Why seniors may need different testing, dosing, and follow-up — especially with heart conditions or bone health in the picture.

• How untreated hypothyroidism impacts memory, falls, cholesterol, and independence.

• Medication tips for seniors, including absorption issues, polypharmacy, and brands vs generics.

• How to advocate — respectfully and effectively — for care beyond a TSH test.

Whether you’re managing your thyroid after 60, caring for a parent, or wondering if symptoms are being overlooked — this episode helps you navigate thyroid health with confidence.

Ever feel like you just can’t get enough air, even when your oxygen levels are normal? For many people with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s, shortness of breath and “air hunger” are confusing — often dismissed as anxiety, asthma, or “nothing to worry about.”

In this episode, we unpack the lesser-known thyroid connection behind breathing difficulties.

You’ll learn:

• What air hunger actually is — and why it can feel like breathlessness without a measurable lung problem.

• How hypothyroidism slows respiratory muscle function — including the diaphragm.

• The surprising link between low thyroid levels and anxiety-like symptoms such as chest pressure, panic sensations, and air hunger.

• When shortness of breath means “thyroid,” not just “stress.”

• Red flags to discuss with your clinician, especially if symptoms worsen around medication timing, dosage shifts, or flare-ups.

• Simple strategies that can help — from improving breathing mechanics to ruling out other causes.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why does breathing feel harder when everything looks normal on paper?” — this episode gives you clarity, validation, and actionable steps.

🎧Hit Play — and breathe easier with more practical information to help you feel and live well!
