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 dive into the importance of making conscious choices to support your Hashimoto’s during the holiday season. I

talk about the basics—how we move, what we eat, how we sleep, and how we regulate our nervous system—and share practical ways to weave these habits into real daily life.

I get into the impact of alcohol and the societal pressure to “just have a drink,” and I share personal stories and client examples to show how small, consistent choices truly move the needle.

I also highlight the power of staying emotionally neutral instead of spiraling into shame or blame, and why disciplined consistency is the foundation for long-term health and feeling your best.

I cover:

  • The real reason you don’t feel good—and why it often has nothing to do with labs or supplements.
  • The 3 questions Dr. Emily asks herself anytime she’s in a funk, low-energy, or brain-foggy.
  • Why every habit is a choice, especially during the holidays, and how small choices compound into big results.
  • How to use emotional neutrality instead of shame or blame when you make a “less ideal” decision.
  • The four foundational basics that must be dialed in before testing or supplements will ever work (movement, protein, sleep, steps).
  • Why discipline equals freedom—and how this mindset helps women with Hashimoto’s feel more consistent and in control.
  • Simple “free” actions you can take today to improve energy and mood (without testing, protocols, or overhauls).
  • How to turn overeating or alcohol choices into productive action, instead of spiraling.
  • The power of meal prep in reducing decision fatigue and keeping protein-forward eating effortless.
  • How to get through the holiday season with more ease, less reactivity, and more intentional choices.
