We're diving deep into what I call “Hashimoto’s Brain”, where your immune system impacts not just your thyroid but your cognitive and emotional well-being.

In this episode, we answer one of the most searched and misunderstood health questions: Can chronic stress cause autoimmune disease?

Episode 89: Joint Pain and Inflammation Causes and Natural Remedies

Learn why your immune system may be attacking your joints, and how addressing inflammation at its source can lead to lasting relief.

Episode 85: Could It Be Epstein-Barr? The Hidden Virus Behind Fatigue, Autoimmunity & Thyroid Issues
Are you constantly tired, inflamed, or foggy, yet your labs say everything’s “normal”? You might be dealing with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation, a hidden but powerful trigger behind chronic fatigue, autoimmune flare-ups, and thyroid issues like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. In this episode, we dive deep into the EBV puzzle and explain how this latent virus, often picked up as mono or glandular fever, can silently affect your health for years after the initial infection.
Episode 84: Brain Fog, and Hashimoto’s: Is Your Thyroid to Blame?
In this episode, we uncover the powerful and often overlooked link between thyroid health and cognitive decline. You'll learn how thyroid hormones like T3 affect brain function, mood, focus, and mental clarity, and why even subtle imbalances or thyroid antibodies can trigger symptoms long before diagnosis. We’ll explore the role of autoimmunity, neuroinflammation, gut health, nutrient deficiencies (like B12, iron, and selenium), and chronic stress in contributing to mental fatigue, forgetfulness, and emotional imbalances.
Episode 83: How a Sense of Purpose Can Improve Your Longevity and Health
