341 - You Are Not a Hypochondriac: Understanding Hypothyroidism and Autoimmune Diseases with Dr. Heather Stone

You know something’s off—your energy is tanked, your moods are all over the place, and your body feels like it’s waving a red flag.

But every time you get your labs done? “Everything looks normal.” 🙄

You’re not imagining things. And you’re definitely not a hypochondriac.

In today’s conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Heather Stone—a functional medicine practitioner, hormone expert, and regenerative farmer (yep, we go there)—who’s here to break down the real, often-missed signs of thyroid dysfunction and autoimmune disease that so many high-achieving women are silently living with.

We’re talking about the emotional toll of being dismissed, the early signs no one talks about, and the exact steps you can take to start feeling better in your body.

She also shares how stress, blood sugar, and even your exercise routine might be affecting your symptoms—and how to start replenishing your body’s reserves with small, practical shifts.

Things you’ll learn in this episode:

• ✅ Why your labs might be “normal,” but you still feel exhausted, anxious, or off
• ✅ The difference between dysfunction and disease—and why catching it early matters
• ✅ The first 3 things to focus on if you’re ready to start rebuilding your health and energy

This episode is your permission slip to trust yourself, ask better questions, and stop settling for feeling “meh.”

Let’s get into it. 🎧👇
