Save My Thyroid: Healing Tips for Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto's

Most women never hear about thermography until they’re deep into their health journey—but it might be the early insight you've been missing.

Gaye Walden, a certified holistic health coach and founder of Holistic Breast Health in Charlotte, NC, shares how breast thermography offers a preventative and personalized approach to breast wellness. She explains to us how this non-invasive scan works, why it’s especially useful for women with dense breast tissue, and how factors like oral health, stress, and diet are deeply connected to breast and thyroid health. Gaye also discusses the limitations of traditional mammograms and offers practical advice for preparing for a thermography scan.

For some, the path to motherhood comes with unexpected thyroid challenges—and understanding those hidden imbalances can make all the difference. 

In this Save My Thyroid Health Audit, Jenny shares her journey with Hashimoto’s and secondary infertility, two challenges that often go hand in hand but are rarely talked about together. Despite being told her thyroid levels were “normal,” deeper testing revealed elevated antibodies and imbalances that standard panels missed. We walked through the key tests that matter (from T3 and T4) to functional medicine insights on gut health, stress, and hormone metabolism. We explore how addressing root causes, not just lab numbers—can open new possibilities for healing and conception. 

Tune in to learn how getting the right tests and asking the right questions can move you closer to healing.

Struggling to persist with your thyroid health routine—no matter how much you want to feel better? It’s not just about discipline. There’s often a deeper reason you keep falling off track.

In this conversation, functional medicine practitioner Leigh Brandon breaks down why willpower isn’t enough—and what to do instead. He shares the six foundational habits that support your health at the root, from better sleep and hydration to how you think. Leigh also explains how your ‘why’, your values, and even your subconscious childhood beliefs can shape your ability to follow through. Plus, hear about practical tools (like his “Stickability” method) to help you stay consistent, even when life throws curveballs. This episode feels less like a lecture and more like a sit-down with someone who gets it.

If you’re ready to shift from stuck to steady on your thyroid health journey, this is the episode you won’t want to miss, tune in now!
