If you’ve ever wondered whether your thyroid questions are too specific or if anyone else is dealing with the same confusion this episode is for you.

In this Q&A episode, I answer a mix of situational and common thyroid health questions submitted by listeners with Graves’, Hashimoto’s, and other thyroid conditions. We cover topics like thyroid antibodies, lab interpretation, medication decisions, iodine, fatigue, hair loss, nodules, and lifestyle factors such as fasting and gut health. Some questions are very individual, while others apply broadly and can help you better understand your own labs and symptoms. My goal is to give you context not one-size-fits-all answers, so you can make more informed decisions about your next steps.

If you’ve been asking yourself, “Does this apply to me?” or “Why hasn’t this been explained clearly before?”, tune in and see which of these questions helps bring clarity to your own thyroid journey.

When fatigue lingers, it can be a sign that the body’s ability to produce energy isn’t functioning the way it should. Could that be what’s happening in your case?.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Scott Sherr to explain why energy dysfunction is so common in chronic illness, and how methylene blue is being used clinically to support mitochondrial function, oxidative stress balance, and detoxification.

I also explain why this topic is especially relevant for people with thyroid and autoimmune conditions, based on what I see regularly in practice. We finish by discussing nervous system regulation, GABA support, and why calming the stress response is often necessary before energy can truly improve.

If you’ve been feeling worn down despite “doing all the right things,” this episode will help you think differently about what your body may actually need.

It’s now 2026 and if you want to move your thyroid health forward, this episode will help you rethink where to focus.

In this episode, I share ten (10) healing priorities for Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s to focus on as we settle into the new year. We talk about why stress management and nervous system support remain foundational, how extreme fasting can actually slow progress, and why small, consistent adjustments tend to be more sustainable and more effective than drastic changes.

I also address common questions about foods like cruciferous vegetables, explain the role of gut health through my 5R framework, and discuss why vitamin D and omega-3 levels matter. This isn’t about doing everything at once. It’s about choosing a few priorities and building from there.

If you’re starting the year looking for a steadier, more realistic approach to thyroid healing, this episode will set you straight in that direction.

Episode Timeline:

00:03 – Why These Tips Matter in 2026

01:10 – Take Stress More Seriously

05:20 – Support the Nervous System

08:55 – Avoid Extreme Fasting

11:45 – Go to Bed Earlier
