Mary’s Experience Inside of Thyroid Strong

In this episode, Mary shares her journey with Hashimoto's disease, thyroid management, and related health challenges. The discussion covers a variety of personal experiences, including switching endocrinologists, dealing with the side effects of medications like Synthroid and Cytomel, and struggling with weight loss. The conversation also delves into the role of diet, highlighting the significance of an AIP diet, gluten-free diet, and the impact of inflammation and gut health on thyroid function. The importance of proper gut function, the benefits of yoga and strength training, and managing food sensitivities and seasonal allergies are also explored.  If you’ve ever been told “your labs are fine” but still feel exhausted, inflamed, or reactive to food, this episode is packed with insights. Dr. Emily breaks down how poor T4-to-T3 conversion is often linked to gut inflammation, why stool testing can reveal more than your doctor’s blood panel, and how simple modifications in strength training can support joint health even after cancer treatment and menopause.
