Ep. 251: Can Lyme Disease Trigger Thyroid Problems?

Tick bites can leave more than a rash — for some, they may set off long-term immune changes, inflammation, and even autoimmune thyroid disease. In this episode, we unpack the debated but increasingly researched connection between Lyme disease, chronic infection, and thyroid dysfunction.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • How Lyme disease affects your immune system long after treatment in some individuals.

  • Theories on why Lyme may contribute to Hashimoto’s — and what science is still uncovering.

  • Why symptoms of chronic Lyme and hypothyroidism overlap, from fatigue to brain fog to muscle pain.

  • Why thyroid labs may fluctuate during infection or post-infection recovery.

  • How inflammation, stress responses, and autoimmunity collide in persistent Lyme cases.

  • Practical steps if you suspect Lyme is impacting your thyroid — including testing and timing of treatment.

If you’ve dealt with Lyme, struggle with unexplained thyroid symptoms, or feel like your health changed after “one bite,” this episode offers clarity, nuance, and hope.

🎧Hit PLAY — and explore the tick-thyroid connection.
