Health Mysteries Solved

Celebrate Thyolove's 1st birthday with SavingsUse code BIRTHDAY at checkout this weekend only and save.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.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.

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 changesWhat a sudden increase in LDL may actually be signalingWhy a standard lipid panel often misses the full pictureWhat ApoB is and why it matters more than you thinkWhy calcium scoring can be deceivingHow inflammation changes cardiovascular risk, even with “normal” numbersWhen medication may actually be needed - it’s not what you thinkThis conversation connects a lot of dots that are usually looked at separately, helping you understand what your labs are actually telling youFor full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/cholesterol-thyroid-hashimotos-dr-sanjay-bhojraj/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically fo

Hashimoto’s is often treated as a thyroid problem. But in reality, it is a problem of immune confusion. When the immune system loses tolerance and begins reacting to the body’s own tissues, inflammation and symptoms follow.In this conversation, Inna Topiler sits down with Michael Antonelli to explore a fascinating area of emerging research that may change how we think about immune regulation in Hashimoto’s. Instead of trying to stimulate or suppress the immune system, the focus shifts to something much more intelligent, helping the immune system regain balance and recognize what truly belongs in the body.Michael shares research on human-equivalent lactoferrin, a bioactive compound inspired by breast milk that appears to play a role in gut signaling, iron balance, and immune communication. The science behind it opens an interesting window into how the gut and immune system interact, and why restoring the right signals may be just as important as removing triggers.This conversation brings together gut health, i

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Shivani Gupta to talk about Ayurveda, inflammation, and what this 5,000 year old system of medicine reveals about Hashimoto’s and thyroid health.There are moments in clinical practice where you realize the conversation around inflammation has been too narrow. We measure antibodies. We look at gut markers. We talk about nutrients. But there is another layer that often gets overlooked, the way daily rhythm and nervous system patterns shape immune behavior.Ayurveda does not separate digestion from stress or stress from immune signaling. It looks at the entire terrain. It asks how your constitution influences the way you burn through energy, hold onto it, or stagnate it. It challenges the idea that everyone should follow the same rules for healing.What I appreciate about this discussion is that it does not add complexity. It adds perspective. It reframes inflammation as something influenced by pace, timing, and consistency, not just inputs.If you have ever felt like you were do

You can follow a solid protocol for Hashimoto’s and still feel like something is not fully clicking.Your labs may look better. Your inflammation markers may improve. But your body still feels braced, wired, or unable to truly settle.In this episode, Inna sits down with Dr. Karyn Shanks to talk about a layer of healing that rarely gets addressed, hypervigilance.We explore how overfunctioning, overworking, and constantly being on can become a stress pattern that keeps cortisol elevated and the immune system reactive. Not because you are failing, but because your nervous system has learned to stay alert.You will see how sensations like throat tightness, chest constriction, or a constant sense of urgency are not random. We talk about the difference between a sensation and the story your brain builds around it, and why giving a feeling space for even ninety seconds can shift your physiology.We also discuss trauma informed care, why safety has to come before deeper healing, and how overdoing can be tied to worthine

You are moving your body, trying to be consistent, and still wondering if you are doing too much, not enough, or the wrong kind altogether.This conversation with Inna Topiler and Angela Brown sits right inside that uncertainty. The space between being told to push harder and starting to wonder if pushing harder is exactly why your body feels the way it does. They talk about why exercise can feel so confusing with Hashimoto’s and why so many people end up second-guessing themselves instead of trusting what they are noticing.As the conversation unfolds, you will start to see how different types of exercise affect the Hashimoto’s body in very different ways. You will hear how to think about recovery, fatigue

You will see how anti inflammatory eating looks in real life, why personalization matters, and how to think about meal prep, leftovers, freezing, and cooking methods in a way that preserves energy instead of draining it.The episode also goes beyond food and into the kitchen itself, from pots and pans to utensils, cutting boards, and food storage. If cooking with Hashimoto’s has felt overwhelming or unrealistic, this conversation will help it feel simpler, calmer, and more

Weight loss with Hashimoto’s often feels harder than it should, even when you’re doing all the things. This episode explores why that frustration is so common and why most weight loss advice doesn’t fully apply to a Hashimoto’s body.In this conversation, Inna explains how weight loss with Hashimoto’s follows a different set of rules and why understanding that difference changes how you approach food, metabolism, and progress.If weight loss has felt confusing, inconsistent, or resistant, this episode will help you see it through a very different lens.And if you want a clear step by step process so you can implement everything the right way and lose weight with Hashimoto’s, please check out the 10 Day Hashimoto’s Weight Loss Transformation at https://innatopiler.com/jumpstart/

So many people with Hashimoto’s carry emotional patterns they don’t even realize are affecting their thyroid. Today we take a closer look at the invisible habits we learn early in life, the ones that quietly shape how safe we feel being ourselves.Sometimes you minimize what hurt you. Sometimes you feel responsible for other people’s reactions. Sometimes you stop trusting your own knowing, even when your body is nudging you in the right direction. These patterns may seem emotional on the surface, but they create real physiological stress, and your thyroid feels every bit of it.This episode explores why these habits form, how they show up in everyday situations, and why the thyroid is uniquely sensitive to self-expression, boundaries, and inner trust. You will see how simple shifts in awareness can help your body feel safer, calmer, and more supported from the inside out.If you have ever felt like you disappear inside your own life, or like your voice gets quieter when you need it most, this conversation will h

There is always a deeper story behind emotional eating, and in this episode Inna and guest Lisa Schlosberg open up the layers most people never connect to food. They explore the moments when you eat without hunger, the childhood patterns that shaped your sense of safety, and the reasons your body may turn to food even when your mind insists you are “fine.” What begins as a conversation about eating quickly becomes a conversation about emotional wiring, nervous system responses, and the parts of you that learned to cope long before you had words for it.Lisa shares her own experience of losing 150 pounds and discovering that the harder work had nothing to do with calories or willpower. It was learning how to feel feelings she spent years avoiding. It was realizing food had been her protection, her comfort, and her armor. Together, she and Inna talk about why emotional hunger feels real, why you can’t solve an emotional problem with a physical solution, and how self compassion and internal safety begin to shift

Fasting is everywhere these days, but most traditional fasting approaches are too harsh when you have Hashimoto’s. Long stretches without food can feel destabilizing, draining, and completely unrealistic for a thyroid that is already under stress. However there is a different approach called fasting mimicking that creates the deeper cellular benefits of fasting while you are still eating real food. Fasting mimicking has been heavily researched for decades and is designed to activate the same fasting pathways that support things like metabolism, energy, longevity, and overall cellular renewal. Instead of pushing the body into stress, it uses precise nutrients that keep the fasting response going while still providing nourishment, which makes it far more compatible with the needs of someone living with Hashimoto’s. It also offers an approachable way to support weight, inflammation, and metabolic health without cutting calories to extremes or spiking cortisol.This is the kind of information that changes how you

Your surroundings can either calm your body or keep it in constant overdrive. In this episode, HGTV designer Sabrina Soto shares how the way we organize, decorate, and even rest inside our homes directly affects the nervous system and thyroid health.Sabrina opens up about her own turning point, from a safe but unfulfilling career to creating a life and home designed with intention, and how that same mindset applies to healing. You’ll hear how clutter impacts cortisol, why your bedroom setup matters more than you think, and how small, thoughtful changes can bring more calm, clarity, and energy back into your day.This conversation blends design and wellness in a way that feels deeply practical. From simple systems that make life lighter to letting go of energy leaks that drain you, Sabrina shows how creating supportive spaces is one of the most overlooked forms of healing with Hashimoto’s.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/design-home-support-thyroid-hashimotos-sabrina-soto/Get Thy

If you’ve ever wondered whether your own Hashimoto’s could be connected to what’s going on with your child’s health, this conversation will open your eyes.In this episode, Inna sits down with Dr. Nancy O’Hara,  a leading expert in PANS and PANDAS (and also her son Jake’s pediatrician)  to talk about something most parents never hear about: how autoimmune thyroid disease in moms can raise the risk of PANS/PANDAS, and other neuroimmune conditions in kids.They share what the research shows, how this link develops, how to find it and most importantly what families can do to support these conditions.Inna also opens up about her own journey as a Hashimoto’s mom raising a child with special needs and the twist that helped her discover her son had PANS/PANDAS, plus the emotions, the questions, and the relief that comes from finally understanding the bigger picture.It’s an honest, eye-opening episode for every Hashimoto’s parent needs to hear to know what to look for, what to do and to feel less alone in the process.F

GLP-1s are everywhere right now, but most people may not use them in the best way especially with thyroid issues. McCall McPherson joins Inna to explain why standard dosing creates all the side effects you hear about, and how a specific way of microdosing changes everything,  especially for those with thyroid conditions.This conversation goes beyond weight loss. McCall breaks down how to use GLP-1s properly for thyroid bodies so food, muscle, and metabolism stay intact. She shares why slower loss is actually healthier, how to know if your doctor’s approach is too aggressive and the overlooked benefits these medications can bring when done right.One of the biggest? Inflammation. They discuss how proper use can calm inflammation in ways food alone sometimes can’t, and what happens to markers and symptoms when it does. They also dive into low dose naltrexone, when to pair it with GLP-1s, and how it supports autoimmunity without shutting down the immune system.For full show notes, please see: https://innatopiler.

In this second part of my conversation with Dr. Felice Gersh, we shift the focus to progesterone and what it really means for your health. You’ve probably heard that progesterone is only important if you have a uterus, or that it’s just about preventing uterine cancer, but that’s far from the whole story.You’ll hear why oral progesterone, the most common form prescribed, may actually be doing more harm than good, how it creates unnaturally high levels of certain metabolites that can sedate the brain, and why this could even impact memory long-term. We also talk about safer and more effective ways to use progesterone that actually work with your body.And if you’re in menopause, or even decades past it, you’ll discover why cycling hormones still matters and how it can support your brain, bones, immune system, and thyroid health. This conversation will challenge so much of what you’ve been told and open the door to thinking about hormones in a whole new way.For full show notes, please see:  https://innatopiler.c

Together, they dive into the case of Jessica, who was doing all the “right” things, following the AIP diet, taking supplements, working on her mindset, but still felt exhausted and stuck. Her symptoms weren’t improving, and her doctor’s solution was to increase her medication yet again.The turning point came when she uncovered something deeper. Jessica was trying so hard to stay positive, think positive, do her affirmations because that is what she was told she should be doing. However by doing that, she was unintentionally overriding her true emotions and it made her feel way worse.Anat explains how this kind of forced positivity can be a detriment because it can actually create stress in the nervous system, keeping the body in a chronic state of fight, flight, or freeze.

Because when you’re highly sensitive and constantly absorbing everything around you (other people’s energy, emotions, even stress), your nervous system takes the hit. And when the nervous system is in overdrive, it becomes very hard to heal, no matter how clean your diet is or how many supplements you take.In this episode, Inna is joined by trauma-informed coach and empath expert Kristen Schwartz to talk about something that’s rarely discussed in the Hashimoto’s world: how being an unrecognized empath can be one of the biggest hidden blocks to healing. Kristen breaks down how fatigue, overstimulation, anxiety, heart palpitations, and even sleep issues can all trace back to nervous system dysregulation and how this shows up differ
