It’s now 2026 and if you want to move your thyroid health forward, this episode will help you rethink where to focus.
In this episode, I share ten (10) healing priorities for Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s to focus on as we settle into the new year. We talk about why stress management and nervous system support remain foundational, how extreme fasting can actually slow progress, and why small, consistent adjustments tend to be more sustainable and more effective than drastic changes.
I also address common questions about foods like cruciferous vegetables, explain the role of gut health through my 5R framework, and discuss why vitamin D and omega-3 levels matter. This isn’t about doing everything at once. It’s about choosing a few priorities and building from there.
If you’re starting the year looking for a steadier, more realistic approach to thyroid healing, this episode will set you straight in that direction.
