In this episode of Thyroid Strong, Dr. Emily Kiberd sits down with Christina, a yoga and meditation teacher whose health and energy completely collapsed despite “normal” thyroid labs. What began as daily fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain turned into a journey of discovery, uncovering that the true root cause wasn’t her thyroid alone, but hidden mold exposure in her home.

Christina shares how she went from needing daily naps and months off work to leading a weekend-long women’s retreat and teaching yoga again with renewed energy and joy. Through addressing mold toxicity, supporting drainage and detox pathways, regulating her nervous system, and rebuilding strength through weight training, Christina reclaimed her vitality and purpose.

Her story is a powerful reminder that healing from Hashimoto’s goes beyond medication—it’s about finding and addressing the deeper root causes, trusting your body’s wisdom, and taking courageous, consistent action.

If you’ve ever felt like your labs look good but you still don’t feel like yourself, this episode will give you hope that full recovery is possible.
