In this episode of Hashimoto’s Nutrition Rx®, I’m joined by holistic endocrinologist Dr. Alessia Roehnelt, MD to break down what traditional medicine often misses about treating Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism. We talk about the real reasons behind persistent symptoms, what your thyroid antibodies actually mean, and how to take a more personalized, root-cause approach to your health.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why your thyroid labs can look "fine" even when you don't feel fine
• The real difference between Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism
• How to interpret TPO and TG antibodies without micromanaging your labs
• Who actually needs thyroid medication and who might not
• Functional vs. conventional approaches to treatment
• The truth about gluten, dairy, and food triggers for Hashimoto’s
