Hot Weather, Hashimoto’s, and Workouts: A Survival Guide

In this solo episode of Thyroid Strong, I kick off the Summer Survival Series by tackling something most women with Hashimoto’s aren’t warned about: how summer heat + intense workouts can wreck your energy, your sleep, and your recovery. I share the science behind why your thyroid struggles more in the heat, especially during high-intensity training, and the surprising impact this combo has on cortisol, hydration, and recovery. Plus, I’ll walk you through practical tips to adjust your workout routine for the season—without giving up your strength goals.
