Ep. 245: Viral Triggers: When Infections Spark Hashimoto’s

Could a past virus be the missing link behind your Hashimoto’s?

In this episode of Paloma’s My Thyroid Health podcast, we unravel the hidden connection between viral infections and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis — and what that means for your health.

Join Paloma Health as we explore:

  • How your immune system’s fight against a virus can backfire, triggering an autoimmune attack on your thyroid through a phenomenon called molecular mimicry.

  • The surprising way certain viruses—like EBV, CMV, enteroviruses, and even COVID-19—may directly infect thyroid cells, fueling chronic inflammation and autoimmune flares.

  • Why some viral infections lie dormant only to reawaken later, reactivating your immune system and worsening thyroid autoimmunity.

  • Real-world strategies for supporting your thyroid when viral triggers are involved: immune resilience, monitoring, and balancing inflammation.

  • If you’ve ever wondered why your Hashimoto’s symptoms flare, or felt like your thyroid health has chronically “off” sessions — this episode shines a light on a lesser-known piece of the puzzle.

🎧Tune in to connect the dots and empower yourself with actionable insights!
