Most people don’t realize that estrogen is a powerful immune modulator—and when it comes to Hashimoto’s, its role is much bigger many realize. So many talk about “estrogen dominance” but there is way way more to this story, especially if we are over 35. While many conversations around estrogen focus on whether levels are too high or too low, the real question is how estrogen influences the immune system and thyroid function.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Felice Gersh, a world-renowned expert in hormone health, to unravel the connection between estrogen and Hashimoto’s. And the truth is astounding—this link is rarely talked about, yet it plays a massive role in why so many women struggle with thyroid issues. We dive into how estrogen directly impacts immune function, thyroid health, and metabolism—far beyond the simplified idea of just balancing hormones. Dr. Gersh explains how estrogen shifts at different life stages, why women with Hashimoto’s often struggle with fluctuations, and what symptoms could signal an imbalance.

We also explore why women are far more prone to Hashimoto’s than men, and how estrogen plays a direct role in triggering and regulating autoimmunity. Dr. Gersh shares how changes in estrogen—whether from birth control, pregnancy, perimenopause, or menopause—can create the perfect storm for thyroid dysfunction. Most importantly, we discuss what women can do to support their hormones naturally, from key nutrients and lifestyle shifts to the right kind of hormone testing and, in some cases, targeted hormone therapy done in a very specific and supplemental way.

This is one of those episodes that will completely change how you think about your hormones and your thyroid. So many women have never heard this before, and it’s information that could make all the difference. Don’t miss this conversation—tune in now and find out what you need to know.
