In this episode of Healing Horizons, host Saima dives deep into autoimmune recovery with Dr. Sarah Khan—a functional nutritionist with a PhD who transformed her personal Hashimoto’s diagnosis into a mission to empower others. Sarah opens up about the mindset shift that changed her life, the pitfalls of one-size-fits-all protocols, and why gut health, blood sugar balance, and sustainable lifestyle habits are key to healing. From practical dietary tips to sleep and stress management, this conversation is a roadmap for anyone navigating autoimmune symptoms with confusion or fear. Sarah’s insights are clear, evidence-backed, and deeply human. If you’re feeling lost on your healing journey, this episode is a powerful reminder that your body can recover—slowly, sustainably, and with intention.
About the Guest:Dr. Sarah Khan is a functional nutritionist and autoimmune educator with a PhD and a lived experience of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
