  • Best podcast on hashimotos

    I’ve done a lot of research on hashimotos and it’s so awesome to find a doctor who also is interested in diet/ lifestyle approaches. Dr Gibbs is very logical in her approach, giving scientific explanations for things and I’m learning so much from her podcast even though I thought I knew everything lol. Had a discovery call with her and she was incredibly generous with her time and really cared. 10 stars! Looking forward to more eps.

  • Incredibly informative

    I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s last year and was dismayed by the lack of information available to help me navigate this condition. I found this podcast and have been able to connect the dots with my symptoms. I appreciate how clear and digestible topics are presented in each episode, I’ve been able to use the information to advocate for additional testing from my doctor.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chicken or the Egg? Gut Health and Thyroid Balance with Hannah Aylward
Q: Alrght, first of all, how do you describe what you do and who you help?
Hannah explains that they help women overcome chronic digestive issues by taking a root-cause approach to repairing gut function and digestive capacity, bringing together experts to address a broad picture beyond isolated symptoms.
Understanding Modern Trauma with Dr. Christy Gibson
Q: How does trauma therapy relate to thyroid and hormone health in your experience?
Trauma therapy reduces chronic activation of the stress response, which dampens endocrine function and drives imbalances. By rebalancing the nervous system, patients often exhibit improved thyroid symptom patterns and better metabolic control, illustrating the mind-body connection in hormone health.
Understanding Modern Trauma with Dr. Christy Gibson
Q: What practical techniques can listeners start using today to calm the nervous system?
Techniques include Havening or eye movement approaches to induce calming brain waves, gentle self-soothing touch on the palms and face, idle visualization of peaceful scenes, and breath strategies that shift the balance toward parasympathetic engagement when appropriate.
Understanding Modern Trauma with Dr. Christy Gibson
Q: What are some early signs that the body is in a trauma response, and how can people begin to recognize them?
Early signs include hypervigilance, altered breathing, muscular tension, and a sense of being overwhelmed by ordinary stress. Developing interoceptive awareness—noticing internal signals like heartbeat, breath, and muscle tension—helps people identify when they are in a fight/flight or freeze state and begin to shift toward a regulated state.
Understanding Modern Trauma with Dr. Christy Gibson
Q: Tell us what you mean by modern trauma and how it shows up in everyday life.
Modern trauma refers to the accumulated, often subtle, distress signals from ongoing exposure to events like climate anxiety, political division, and media saturation. It lodges in the body and brain, shaping our reactions and sense of safety, even when individuals aren't exposed to a single discrete trauma event.
