062 An Underlying Cause of Autoimmunity and Inflammation w/ Dr. Don Wood

In this episode of Thyroid Mystery Solved, Inna welcomes back the brilliant Dr. Felice Gersh for a conversation that takes Hashimoto’s and hormones to a whole new level. Together, they dive deep into the role of estrogen and progesterone in regulating the immune system, inflammation, and thyroid health. Most people have only heard the basics about these hormones, but as Dr. Gersh explains, the story goes far beyond reproduction. From Hashimoto’s flares that appear around menstrual cycles to the critical impact of hormones during perimenopause and menopause, this discussion unpacks what most doctors never tell their patients and you are going to be amazed!Dr. Gersh also shines a light on how misconceptions about hormones, especially progesterone, have shaped conventional medicine and why so many women are left without the support they truly need. This episode is part one of a two-part series, and it is filled with insights that will completely change the way you think about hormones and Hashimoto’s.----------For full show notes, please see https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/connection-progesterone-estrogen-and-hashimotos-dr-felice-gersh/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Hashimoto’s at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

In this powerful episode, Inna is joined by transformational leader and inner child expert Anat Peri to explore an unexpected twist in the Hashimoto’s healing journey. Together, they dive into the case of Jessica, who was doing all the “right” things, following the AIP diet, taking supplements, working on her mindset, but still felt exhausted and stuck. Her symptoms weren’t improving, and her doctor’s solution was to increase her medication yet again.The turning point came when she uncovered something deeper. Jessica was trying so hard to stay positive, think positive, do her affirmations because that is what she was told she should be doing. However by doing that, she was unintentionally overriding her true emotions and it made her feel way worse.Anat explains how this kind of forced positivity can be a detriment because it can actually create stress in the nervous system, keeping the body in a chronic state of fight, flight, or freeze. This episode unpacks how overriding your feelings can actually worsen autoimmune symptoms and why true healing starts with emotional safety.Anat also shares the science behind how the nervous system reacts faster than the conscious mind, how inner child work helps create safety, and why nervous system regulation must come before mindset work can truly be effective. From breathwork to sensation naming to reparenting tools, you’ll learn how to create space for your emotions and support your healing from the inside out.This episode is an essential listen for anyone who has tried it all and still feels like something is missing. It might not be about doing more. It might be about feeling more.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/positive-thinking-hashimotos-anat-peri/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Hashimoto’s at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

If you have Hashimoto’s, there’s a very real chance you’re also an empath and you may not even realize it.This matters more than you think. Because when you’re highly sensitive and constantly absorbing everything around you (other people’s energy, emotions, even stress), your nervous system takes the hit. And when the nervous system is in overdrive, it becomes very hard to heal, no matter how clean your diet is or how many supplements you take.In this episode, Inna is joined by trauma-informed coach and empath expert Kristen Schwartz to talk about something that’s rarely discussed in the Hashimoto’s world: how being an unrecognized empath can be one of the biggest hidden blocks to healing. Kristen breaks down how fatigue, overstimulation, anxiety, heart palpitations, and even sleep issues can all trace back to nervous system dysregulation and how this shows up differently in sensitive people.You’ll learn how to tell if this is what’s really happening in your body, how to start regulating (without adding more to your to-do list), and how to gently reconnect to yourself without pressure or performance. Kristen shares simple but powerful shifts that help you reclaim your energy, feel safe in your body again, and finally get unstuck.If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but still feel wired, tired, or anxious, this conversation could be the missing link. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of what’s really going on under the surface and what to do about it.----------For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/empath-thyroid-connection-kristen-schwartz/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Hashimoto’s at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

When you’re living with Hashimoto’s,  it’s easy to end up overwhelmed, especially when you’re getting conflicting advice from different practitioners. In this episode, Inna shares a real-life case where a client was stuck in that very situation, caught between protocols and unsure how to move forward. What helped wasn’t more advice, instead it was learning to trust her own intuition.To explore this idea further, Inna is joined by Karly Ashworth, a transformational coach and intuitive guide who helps people reconnect to their inner voice and find clarity. Together, they talk about how tuning into your intuition can help you navigate confusing symptoms, make better health decisions, and even uncover emotional patterns that might be affecting your thyroid.They dive into what intuition really is (and why we all have it), how it relates to the throat chakra and the thyroid, and why emotional triggers such as indecision or self-doubt can sometimes do just as much damage as physical ones. Karly also shares practical ways to quiet the noise, get grounded, and start recognizing the signals your body is already sending you.Whether you’ve been second-guessing your health decisions or you’ve just felt out of touch with your body, this episode is a powerful reminder that sometimes, the answers you’re looking for aren’t out there but they’re already within.For full show notes, please see (TIM PLEASE ADD LINK)Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Hashimoto’s at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

When a patient has tried every clean-eating plan, every supplement protocol, and every practitioner,  but is still exhausted, anxious, and foggy  it’s time to look where no one else has. In this episode, Inna teams up with functional dentist Dr. Michelle Jorgensen to explore a very overlooked trigger and aggravator for Hashimoto’s symptoms: your mouth.Through the case of “Cindy,” a Hashimoto’s patient who did everything right but still wasn’t getting better, Inna and Dr. Michelle reveal how hidden dental infections, past root canals, and even the materials used in old dental work can silently drive inflammation and autoimmune flares. What looks like “perfect” dental health on X-rays might actually be masking deep, ongoing issues that most conventional dentists never catch.Dr. Michelle brings her unique insight as a dentist-turned-health detective, showing how problems like cavitations, mixed metals, and even mouth breathing can create a ripple effect on the immune system, the microbiome, and the thyroid. She also explains how to safely investigate and address these issues  and why healing often requires asking the questions no one else is asking.This episode opens a powerful new conversation for anyone with Hashimoto’s who still doesn’t feel well despite doing “everything right” and exactly what you can do to explore what your mouth is trying to tell you.----------For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/root-canals-cavities-hashimotos-dentist-dr-michelle-jorgensen/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Hashimoto’s at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

In this tender and deeply personal conversation, Inna sits down with her dear friend and colleague Lizzy Swick, RDN, to explore a part of healing that’s so often overlooked: the emotional and nervous system layer. Lizzy shares her own journey of chronic migraines, pain, and doing all the right things until she discovered that true progress began when she stopped doing more and started feeling more.Together, they unpack what it really means to feel safe in your body and how emotions, past experiences, and the way we push ourselves can quietly drive inflammation, fatigue, and even autoimmunity. You’ll hear practical tools like "rage on the page" journaling, embodiment meditation, and the internal shifts that helped Lizzy finally get relief after years of searching. It’s gentle, honest, and eye-opening in the most beautiful way.This conversation is one that Inna truly hopes you’ll take to heart. It’s not just about healing your thyroid, it’s about healing you. If you’ve been stuck, if nothing is working, or if you’ve ever wondered whether your emotions and nervous system might be part of the puzzle, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.
