If you’re living with Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, or any autoimmune condition, you know how exhausting inflammation, flare-ups, joint pain, brain fog, and hormone imbalances can be. In this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast, I’m diving into the research behind black seed oil and why I’m personally testing it as part of my Hashimoto’s wellness journey.

We talk about how chronic inflammation impacts thyroid health, why gut health plays such a critical role in autoimmune conditions, and what early studies suggest about black seed oil’s ability to support immune balance, reduce thyroid antibodies, improve TSH levels, and support liver and kidney health. I also share lifestyle factors that matter deeply for Hashimoto’s including gluten sensitivity, dairy tolerance, egg sourcing, hormone balance, cortisol stress, and metabolic health.

This is not medical advice — I’m sharing what I’m learning, what I’m trying, and how I’m tracking my own results so you can make informed decisions with your healthcare provider. Supplements are powerful tools when used intentionally and responsibly, especially when combined with proper nutrition, movement, and nervous system regulation.

If you’re navigating Hashimoto’s, autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, inflammation, or hormone imbalance, this conversation will give you a grounded, real-world look at how holistic strategies may support healing.

✨ Topics Covered:
Black seed oil benefits for Hashimoto’s and thyroid health
Reducing inflammation and autoimmune flare-ups
Gut health and immune system balance
TSH, T3, T4, thyroid antibodies explained
Natural supplement safety and protocols
Stress, cortisol, and chronic illness burnout
Functional medicine and root cause healing

In this episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast , I have to give the biggest shout-out to my listeners in Australia and New Zealand. When I looked back at my stats from last year, once again you all showed up in a big way, and it honestly blows my mind that this little podcast reaches across the world. I’m so grateful you’re here, and if any of you “down under” have a messy wellness story you want to share, I would absolutely love to hear from you and maybe even have you on the show someday.

So today we’re talking about glutathione — what it really is, why it matters, and why it keeps coming up in health conversations. First things first, glutathione is not a vitamin. It’s an antioxidant, and it’s considered the most important intracellular antioxidant in the body. It’s made from three amino acids — cysteine, glycine, and glutamate — and your body actually produces it inside your cells. Think of it as your body’s internal clean-up crew 🧹 It helps neutralize free radicals, supports detox pathways, helps regulate the immune system, supports mitochondrial health (which means energy production), and even helps recycle other antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E.

So when people talk about toxins, inflammation, immune stress, or chronic illness, glutathione is always part of that conversation because it plays such a big role in protecting our cells.

Now here’s where some of the confusion and controversy comes in. Certain medications, including acetaminophen (Tylenol), are known to temporarily lower glutathione levels. What some researchers and clinicians are pointing out is that if glutathione is already low — and then the body is exposed to something foreign — the clean-up crew may not be operating at full strength. That doesn’t mean anything “causes” autism. It does not. But it does help explain why people are talking about vulnerability, detox capacity, and immune response — especially in bodies that are already under more oxidative stress.

And that’s where autoimmune disease, chronic inflammation, metabolic issues, and neurodivergent nervous systems come into the conversation. These bodies are often already working harder just to maintain balance. So when glutathione is depleted and demand is high, things can stack up instead of being cleared efficiently.

Modern life burns through antioxidants fast — stress, sugar, poor sleep, chronic illness, environmental toxins, busy schedules, and emotional overload all increase oxidative stress. Our bodies are constantly trying to pull us back into balance, and sometimes they’re just exhausted. That’s when symptoms start showing up. That’s when inflammation becomes chronic. That’s when we start seeing autoimmune issues, hormone problems, and nervous system dysregulation.

Which is why I always come back to basics: nutrient-dense food, enough protein, stress management, movement, breathing, and sleep. It’s not glamorous. It’s not trendy. But it works. And even on a budget, there are ways to eat better — I mentioned Dr. Paul Saladino’s videos where he literally shops at Walmart and shows how to choose nutrient-dense foods affordably.

At the end of the day, understanding glutathione isn’t about fear. It’s about knowing that our bodies have incredible systems designed to protect us — and sometimes they just need more support to do their job.

Until next time, my friends — keep it messy 🤍✨

Hey my messy warriors—welcome back and hello 2026! ✨ I’m officially kicking off the new year fresh off a workout, riding that good-vibes, good-energy wave, and feeling ready to dive right in. I hope you soaked up the holidays, rested where you could, laughed where it mattered, and are easing into this new year without the pressure to be “on” or “perfect.” Because spoiler alert: we’re not doing perfection here—we’re doing truth.

This episode is all about finding your why—not the Pinterest-perfect, January-1st, hustle-hard version, but the real, grounded, gut-level why that actually carries you through the hard days. I walk you through a simple, doable process (and yes, there’s a super easy PDF coming your way on my Linktree on Instagram) to help you uncover what you truly want, why it matters to you, and how to connect it to your actual life—not some unrealistic fantasy routine. Think consistency over perfection, compassion over self-bullying, and progress that feels steady instead of exhausting.

We talk about peeling back the layers—asking “why” again and again until you hit that moment where your throat tightens, your chest feels full, or your gut just knows. That’s your why. Not guilt. Not “I should.” Not what everyone else is doing. Just truth. And from there, we turn it into something grounding—something you can return to when motivation dips, stress hits, or quitting feels tempting. Because your why isn’t for the easy days…it’s for the messy ones.

I also share my three (okay, four—because I make my own rules 😌) words for 2026: steady resilience, strong, and playful. This year isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about building strength with compassion, showing up consistently without beating myself up, and bringing play back into my life. Dancing in the kitchen, laughing more, moving my body in ways that feel good, and doing a few things simply because they bring joy—not because they’re productive. Fun doesn’t need permission, an outcome, or a checklist. 💃☀️

This episode is a reminder that you’re not here to fix yourself—you’re here to come home to yourself. To become stronger, steadier, and more alive. That’s where the messy magic lives. ✨

If this episode spoke to you, share it, tag me, scribble a note to yourself—just don’t keep it to yourself. You can find me on Instagram @EverythingsMessyWellness, over on YouTube, or at everythingsmessywellness.com for resources, coaching, and probably a fresh rant about blood sugar or hormones.

Until next time—hydrate, take no crap, be kind to yourself… and as always, keep it messy. 💛
