Thyroid Mystery Solved: Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism Revealed

If you have Hashimoto's and have been told your blood sugar is "borderline" or "fine for now," this conversation will change how you think about it. Inna sits down with Dr. Jason Shumard, a functional medicine practitioner with more than two decades of experience in diabetes and insulin resistance, to unpack why blood sugar troubles and thyroid autoimmunity so often travel together. The surprising takeaway is that elevated blood sugar usually isn't a sugar problem at all. It's a signal that something has gone wrong at the level of the cell, and chasing the number alone tends to leave the real issue untouched.
Dr. Jason walks through what's actually happening when insulin can no longer do its job, and why the receptors on your cells stop responding in the first place. He explains the role that hidden drivers like infections, mold, heavy metals, chronic inflammation and everyday stress play in keeping the cycle going, and why these overlap so heavily with the same triggers behind Hashimoto's. He and Inna also dig into the lab markers worth paying attention to beyond a basic glucose reading, the optimal ranges he looks for, and the simple ratio already sitting on most standard bloodwork that can flag insulin resistance early.
The discussion gets especially practical around carbohydrates, GLP-1 medications, and the idea of cycling rather than relying on any single tool forever. Dr. Jason offers a refreshingly balanced view, neither demonizing carbs nor treating medications as a permanent fix, and shares why restoring true cellular function is what allows so many people to move toward remission. It's an honest, hopeful look at a topic that affects far more people with thyroid issues than most realize, and a reminder that the body is often far more capable of healing than we've been led to believe.

If you have Hashimoto’s and still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or “not yourself” even after trying many things, this episode is a must-listen.
I’m joined again by Dr. Kasia Kines, one of the leading voices in Epstein-Barr Virus research and education, to talk about the inte- connection between EBV and Hashimoto’s
Even if you have heard about this connection, this episode goes much deeper into what you need to know.
• Why EBV can reactivate years later
• The symptoms most people miss
• The labs that actually important
• Why your doctor may not be testing correctly
• The connection between EBV and Hashimoto’s
• Mold, stress, WiFi, nutrient deficiencies, and other hidden triggers
• What helps the body calm chronic reactivation
There is a lot in this conversation that people with Hashimoto’s are rarely told, especially when it comes to why symptoms can continue even when thyroid labs start to look better.

So many people with Hashimoto’s are shopping at health food stores, choosing organic, avoiding processed foods, and making what they believe are healthier choices.
But what if some of those “healthy” foods are not as clean as they seem?
In this episode, Inna is joined by Jen Smiley, founder of the Read the Labels movement, to uncover what is really hiding in everyday foods. They break down how marketing can be misleading, why ingredient quality matters just as much as the type of food you are eating, and how hidden additives can drive inflammation.
This conversation expands beyond food alone and looks at how everyday choices, from cookware to food sourcing, can either support or hinder your thyroid and immune health.

There’s something I started noticing over this past year that I didn’t expect.
Not just how people with thyroid issues felt physically… but how they felt about what they were doing.
Because with Hashimoto’s, it’s usually not about not knowing what to do. It’s what happens a few days or a few weeks in, when everything starts to feel like a lot and things slowly fall off.
In this episode, I’m breaking down why that happens, what actually makes something easier to stay consistent with, and what I’ve seen change when that piece is finally in place.
Because there’s a difference between something being “good for you”… and something that actually fits into your life in a way that you keep doing it.
If you’ve been feeling a little stop-and-start with your routine, or like things just don’t stay consistent the way you want them to, this will shift how you think about it.

In this episode, Inna sits down with integrative cardiologist Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj to unpack everything that you need to know about cholesterol when you have a thyroid issue.
These are things your doctor is likely not telling you but you NEED to know:
Why cholesterol can go up quickly with thyroid changes, even without diet changes
What a sudden increase in LDL may actually be signaling
Why a standard lipid panel often misses the full picture
What ApoB is and why it matters more than you think
Why calcium scoring can be deceiving
How inflammation changes cardiovascular risk, even with “normal” numbers
When medication may actually be needed - it’s not what you think
This conversation connects a lot of dots that are usually looked at separately, helping you understand what your labs are actually telling you
