Are you still exhausted even though you're doing everything you can for your Hashimoto's? The problem might be something you literally cannot feel.

Vitamin D is one of the most common root cause triggers for Hashimoto's, and most women have no idea their levels are low. You cannot feel it when your vitamin D is low. You cannot feel it when it is high. The only way to know is to test. And if your levels are not where they need to be, your immune system is missing one of its most important tools for calming down.

In this episode, Esther breaks down why vitamin D is a root cause trigger for Hashimoto's, how it works in your immune system, and what you actually need to know about getting your levels up, whether that is through summer sun exposure or smart supplementation.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why vitamin D acts like a brake system for your immune system and what happens when those brakes fail
• What optimal vitamin D levels actually look like and why "not deficient" is not good enough
• How summer sun exposure works, why it is not as simple as going outside, and what to do about it year round

Have you ever looked at a diet protocol and immediately thought, "There is no way I can do that"?

That was me with AIP. The restrictions felt overwhelming, the food felt foreign, and honestly, I was not sure the payoff was worth the stress. So when Mickey Trescott reached out about her new book, my first instinct was hesitation.

Then I read it. And everything changed.

In this bonus episode of Health with Hashimoto's, I'm sharing my honest review of The New Autoimmune Protocol by Mickey Trescott — and why I went from resistant to completely bought in. This is The New Autoimmune Protocol review I wish someone had given me years ago.

Here's what you'll hear in this episode:

• Why AIP felt impossible before and what made it finally feel doable
• What the New AIP actually is — including the three phases and two flexible approaches that make it more accessible than the original
• What makes this book stand out, from the practical prep guidance to the gorgeous cookbook section

Why does Hashimoto's happen in the first place and what can you actually do about it?

If you have been diagnosed and you are wondering what caused this, you are not alone. Most women with Hashimoto's are told what they have but not why they have it. That missing piece is exactly what this episode is about.

In episode 202, Esther kicks off the Summer Root Cause Series by walking through the root causes of Hashimoto's, the three things every single person with an autoimmune condition has in common, and the eight most common triggers that can set the whole process in motion.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why genetics load the gun but lifestyle and environment pull the trigger
• How leaky gut keeps your immune system working overtime and why an overworked immune system starts attacking things it shouldn't
• The eight most common Hashimoto's triggers and why knowing yours is the turning point

Hit play and find out what's actually driving your Hashimoto's.

Did someone send you this episode? Or maybe you've been living with Hashimoto's for a while and you're still not sure you fully understand what's actually happening in your body?

Either way, you're in the right place. This episode covers the basics — what your thyroid does, what Hashimoto's really is, and why so many women are stuck even when their labs look "fine" and they're doing everything they're supposed to do.

In episode 201, recorded in honor of World Thyroid Day, Esther breaks down exactly what your thyroid does, why Hashimoto's is more than a thyroid problem, and why missing the autoimmune piece means the attack on your thyroid never stops.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why your thyroid affects every single cell in your body — and what happens when it's not producing or converting enough hormone
• The most common symptoms of hypothyroidism and why they show up differently for everyone
• Why Hashimoto's has two parts, and why missing the autoimmune piece means the attack on your thyroid never stops

Have you ever wondered if what you eat is making your Hashimoto's worse — or if changing your diet could actually make a real difference?

If you've heard of the AIP diet but felt overwhelmed, confused about where to start, or worried it meant giving up food you love forever, this episode is for you. The modified AIP diet Hashimoto's patients are using today looks very different from what it was 15 years ago — and the research behind it is finally catching up.

In this episode, Esther sits down with Mickey Trescott, functional nutrition expert, Hashimoto's patient, and author of the brand new book The New Autoimmune Protocol. Mickey shares how AIP has evolved from a single sentence in functional medicine circles into a research-backed, two-phase protocol with human studies to support it — including two studies specific to Hashimoto's.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why AIP is a tool and a process, not a permanent diet — and what it's actually designed to do
• What modified AIP is, how it differs from core AIP, and why it may be more realistic for your real life
• Why preparation matters more than the diet itself, and the two exercises Mickey uses to set people up for success before they change a single thing they eat

Hit play and find out if the modified AIP diet might be the missing piece in your Hashimoto's strategy.
