Summary

In this week's episode of the Psychology of Eating Podcast, Marc David works with Jessica, who was diagnosed with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism over ten years ago. She would like to find natural alternatives for the pharmaceuticals she's been using to manage her condition, as well as find ways to heal the Hashimoto's-related digestive challenges she's been experiencing. 
 
Eating psychology expert and nutrition consultant Marc David does a deep dive with Jessica on some of the most important things she can do for her health, including how to find a great functional medicine practitioner who can over see her care. He offers a variety of nutritional and supplemental strategies to experiment with including high-quality fats especially essential fatty acids, and natural alternatives to Synthroid, along with a discussion of why certain approaches — like avoiding gluten — don't seem to work for everyone affected by Hashimoto's.

Good. I'm excited to be in this conversation. And one of my favorite questions to ask people is if you go wave your magic wand and get whatever you wanted with food, body health, what would that be for you?
