In this episode, we cover:

  • Why PCOS and Hashimoto’s so often occur together
  • The difference between “normal” vs. “optimal” lab ranges
  • Essential labs and functional tests to request (thyroid antibodies, fasting insulin, stool analysis, Dutch test, and more)
  • The critical role of gut health in both conditions
  • How inflammation, blood sugar imbalance, and leaky gut drive hormone disruption
  • Dietary and lifestyle interventions that help both PCOS and Hashimoto’s
  • The impact of chronic stress, trauma, and emotional health on autoimmunity and hormone balance
  • Dr. Anya’s personal story of reversing symptoms and lowering antibodies without medication
  • Busting the myth that weight loss is just about “willpower”
