Hashimoto’s & Thyroid Disease: Back to the Basics
🎙️ Thyroid Disease & Hashimoto’s: Back to the Basics
Thyroid disease is one of the most common — and most misunderstood — hormonal conditions, especially in women. In this episode, endocrinologist Dr. Alessia Roehnelt goes back to the basics to explain thyroid disease and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in clear, simple terms.
If you’ve been told your thyroid labs are “normal” but you still feel exhausted, gain weight easily, struggle with brain fog, hair loss, mood changes, or feel like your body isn’t functioning the way it should, this episode is for you.
In this foundational episode, we break down:
- What the thyroid actually does in the body
- The difference between hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s
- Why symptoms can exist even with a normal TSH
- How thyroid hormones work at the cellular level
- Why autoimmune thyroid disease is more than just a thyroid issue
- When to advocate for further testing and evaluation
This episode is designed to help you understand your body, your labs, and your symptoms, so you can make informed decisions and have more productive conversations with your healthcare provider.
Whether you’re newly diagnosed, suspect a thyroid issue, or have been managing Hashimoto’s for years, this episode provides the essential education most people never receive.
