In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Alisha Knicely, RDN, a dietitian and fellow Hashimoto’s warrior, to unpack why weight loss feels nearly impossible when your thyroid is out of balance and what to actually do about it. Alisha brings her clinical expertise and her personal experience to the table, walking us through what hormones, inflammation, stress, and metabolism are really doing in thyroid disease, plus the long-term strategies that are rooted in science, not gimmicks. What You’ll Learn: ✔️Why traditional “calorie in, calorie out” doesn’t always work for people with thyroid issues ✔️How under-eating, stress, and inflammation can stall your metabolism ✔️The truth about GLP-1 medications (like Tirzepatide or Ozempic) for thyroid warriors ✔️Whether intermittent fasting is helpful or harmful for you ✔️How to stabilize blood sugar to reduce cravings and boost energy ✔️Why strength training + protein are non-negotiable for thyroid health Why You Can’t Miss This Episode: This isn’t just another “how to lose weight” episode, it’s a deep-dive into what’s going on under the hood when your thyroid is throwing off everything from your energy to your appetite. Alisha’s advice is compassionate, evidence-based, and so relatable, especially if you’ve felt alone or misunderstood in your thyroid journey.
