Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Today? Here’s Exactly What I’d Do Differently
Manage episode 519518322 series 2420226
Welcome back to Thyroid Strong, the podcast for high-performing women with Hashimoto’s who want real strength, real answers, and root-cause healing—without the burnout.
In today’s episode, I break down the exact roadmap I wish I had on Day 1 of my Hashimoto’s diagnosis. No fluff, no guessing, no protocol-of-the-month—just a clear, strategic plan to get strong, reduce inflammation, and finally feel like yourself again.
I cover:
• Why testing over guessing is non-negotiable
• The labs I would run immediately (full thyroid panel, GI-MAP, blood sugar markers, cortisol data)
• How to rebuild your foundational habits so your body has the capacity to heal
• Why sleep is your first domino—before supplements or workouts
• How to stabilize blood sugar quickly
• Why gut health is central to autoimmune healing
• How to work out with Hashimoto’s so you build muscle instead of burning out
• The role of protein in hormone balance, energy, and metabolism
• When tools like peptides, drainage pathways, and detox support make sense
This is the episode I wish someone had made me listen to when I was first diagnosed. If you’re newly diagnosed or overwhelmed by conflicting advice, this will provide you with clarity, direction, and momentum.
