In this powerful episode, I’m joined by gut and autoimmune nutritionist Sarah Khan, who shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis as a teenager—and what she wishes more women knew about the connection between gut health, thyroid function, and autoimmune disease.
Sarah opens up about:
- Her early experience navigating symptoms like fatigue and brain fog
- What Hashimoto’s actually is and why it’s often underdiagnosed in women
- The role of leaky gut and dysbiosis in triggering and worsening autoimmune conditions
- How gut health influences hormone balance and immune regulation
- Why proper testing (and interpretation of results) is critical for diagnosis
- Practical steps to help prevent or reduce autoimmune symptoms by improving gut health
Whether you’ve been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s or are simply dealing with chronic bloating and fatigue, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface—and how to advocate for your own health.
