Navigating Hashimoto’s as a Busy Mom

In this episode of Thyroid Strong, Dr. Emily Kiberd gets real about what it’s like to navigate Hashimoto’s as a busy mom—and how to stop feeling stuck in a body that doesn’t feel like yours.

From school drop-offs and Zoom calls to reheated coffee and managing thyroid symptoms, it’s no wonder Hashi moms feel exhausted and inflamed. But here’s the truth: healing doesn’t require perfection—it requires a plan that works for your life.

Dr. Emily shares her top three Hashi Mom Hacks for losing weight, rebuilding energy, and being more present for your kids (without spending hours in the kitchen or working out 6 days a week).

Whether you're newly postpartum, managing a career, or constantly googling “what actually works for Hashimoto’s,” this episode cuts through the noise with practical, proven strategies from a fellow mama who's been there.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why most weight loss and fatigue protocols don’t work for moms with Hashimoto’s
What you don’t need to do (hint: it’s not 6 workouts/week or cooking every meal from scratch)
How walking after meals can regulate blood sugar and reduce inflammation
Why 30g of protein per meal is the sweet spot for energy, cravings, and lean muscle
The 6 movement patterns to focus on for efficient, effective strength workouts
Real-life strategies to stay consistent (even when you're tired, busy, or overwhelmed)
Why your workouts should fuel your day, not drain it
How to stop guessing and build a personalized plan that actually works
