Health with Hashimoto’s - Root Cause Education for Autoimmune Thyroid Disease
Thyroid or immune. Finally sorted. You've done the research. You still don't have a plan.

A way to use what you've already got. Hosted by Esther Yunkin, RN, this podcast covers what Hashimoto's actually is, why it happens, and how to work with your doctor (not against them) while you build a plan that fits a real life. What is Hashimoto's, and why does it happen? How to sort what you already know into thyroid or immune, so it finally makes sense Practical lifestyle strategies, without the overwhelm How to be the CEO of your own health Grounded in science.

Six common Hashimoto’s symptoms: fatigue, weight resistance, brain fog, hair loss, constipation, and feeling cold all the time.
You've been told they're all just your thyroid. Some of them are. And some of them were never going to be fully fixed by your thyroid.
In episode 213, Esther sorts the six most common Hashimoto's symptoms into thyroid or immune. Two landed in the thyroid bucket. Four landed in both. That isn't bad ne...
You started the summer with a question. Now you have a longer list of root causes and the exact same question you had in May.
Which one am I supposed to do something about first?
That is not an informatio...
You have all the information. So why are you still stuck?
If you have spent years reading, researching, and following every account you can find, you already know a lot about Hashimoto's. The problem is not information. The problem is knowing what to do with it.
In this episode, Esther walks through the Hashimoto's thyroid or immune framework and shows you exactly how she used it on herself, back when she was first diagnosed. She s...
What if your thyroid is a victim, not the cause, of Hashimoto's
Your thyroid isn't broken. It's overwhelmed.
Esther talks with Dr. Jess Armine, a healthcare provider with almost 50 years of clinical experience. His take on Hashimoto's: the thyroid is a victim, not the cause. It's a downstream effect of something else happening in your body.
If your fatigue has ever been written off as laziness, this one will shift how you see it.

Do you keep starting a new Hashimoto's protocol, only to abandon it a few weeks in when something newer shows up?
If that cycle feels familiar, you are not lacking discipline. You are missing a filter. In this episode, Esther explains why do I keep starting over with Hashimoto's protocols, and it is not the reason you think. The real issue is that every new supplement or protocol lands with equal weight because there is no way to s...
Why does it seem like every Hashimoto's symptom shows up at once instead of one at a time?
In this episode, Esther explains why your root causes never work alone. A single stressor, like a poor night of sleep, can affect your blood sugar, your gut, and your immune system all at the same time. That is...
You did the gluten free diet. You healed your gut. You worked on your nervous system. So why do you keep quitting two weeks later?
If you have ever done everything right and still found yourself back at the donut, skipping your supplements, or abandoning your protocol without a clear reason why, this...
You have done the research and probably already know your root causes, but what do you do next when new protocols, supplements, or advice pop up? In this episode I’ll help you build a personal filter — discernment — so you can decide what’s worth trying and what to skip.
We’ll walk through real-life examples (social media supplements, new diets, and flare-ups) to show how discernment helps you ask the...
The BMJ called Bad Influence "a timely and eye-opening investigation...essential reading," but spoiler: I don’t agree. I found the reporting solid, and she made good points about how social media prioritizes stories over science, but I disagreed with nearly every solution.

Stress is one of the most common Hashimoto's triggers. You already know you have stress. The question is, what do you actually do about it?
In this episode of the Root Cause Series, Esther breaks down the two sides of stress, what it looks like across all five areas of your life, and how identifying your personal stressors can make a real difference for your immune health.
In this episode, you'll learn:

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 ...
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 thin...
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 thyroi...
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 re...
Have you ever felt like Hashimoto’s is happening to you instead of something you can actively respond to? In this episode, we’re talking about how to build resilience with Hashimoto’s by shifting from a passive stress response to a challenge-oriented mindset that supports both your mental and physical health.
You’ll learn:
- Why stress and assuming failure can worsen Hashimoto’s symptoms
- The differe...
Peptides are everywhere right now. In your Facebook groups, your podcast feed, your social media. But are they right for you?
In this episode, you'll learn what peptides are, why your body is already designed to make them, and what to try before you go the injectable route...
If you’ve been blaming every gut issue on diet alone, this episode will change how you think. Dr. Kate Davis shares her wild, personal story of discovering a massive parasite after years of pain, and the careful testing and detox steps she says you must take before trying any cleanse.
