225 A Different Kind of Fitness for Your Thyroid, with Eric Bigger

If you have ever told yourself you will start really living once you feel better, once the fatigue lifts or the labs come back right, this conversation may change how you see that waiting. Inna sits down with Eric Bigger, trainer, coach, and author of Spiritual Fitness, a man who got nearly everything he ever wished for and then watched it fall apart because something underneath was missing. What he found on the other side is a kind of strength most of us were never taught to build, and it has a lot to do with how well a body can heal.Eric reveals the two word definition of spiritual fitness that reframes what being fit actually means, why moving your body while you talk brings up things that would never surface sitting still, and the difference between a goal and an intention that explains why hitting a goal can leave you feeling empty. He also tells the story of the apartment he had no business applying for, and the decision there that ended up redirecting his entire life.For anyone living with thyroid or any other chronic condition, Inna brings the conversation back to why she sees the inner work and the biochemical work as partners, not rivals. It is a different kind of episode, and it may be just the one you need that helps everything else you are doing finally click.For full show notes, please see:  https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/a-different-kind-of-fitness-for-your-thyroid-with-eric-bigger/Simplify your thyroid support with everything that you need for both your thyroid and your immune system in the exact forms and dosages in 1 bottle   -    ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping If you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcallFor more on everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.com Get ThyroLove - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping 

Food is a constant conversation for anyone with Hashimoto's or a thyroid condition, but this episode looks at the part almost no one addresses, the relationship with food itself and the emotions driving it. Inna sits down with Kim Shapira, a celebrity dietitian and nutrition therapist with almost three decades of experience and the author of This Is What You're Really Hungry For, to explore the question at the center of her work. Kim's answer reframes why so many people stay stuck with food even when they know exactly what they should be eating, and it has very little to do with willpower.Kim shares the personal story that led her here, including the moment a longtime client revealed that losing weight had made her feel unsafe, and what that taught Kim about what people are actually reaching for. She and Inna get into the emotional triggers most of us form before the age of seven, the way the body can hijack a rational decision in under ten seconds, and why restriction and fear tend to backfire in a body that is already inflamed. For the thyroid community especially, the connection between safety, stress, and healing lands in a completely new way.The conversation also turns surprisingly practical and even a little experiential. Kim walks Inna through a live exercise for finding where the mind actually is in a given moment. Anyone who has felt at war with food, or who senses there is something deeper underneath their eating, will find a genuinely different place to begin.For full show notes, please see:  https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/what-are-you-really-hungry-for-food-emotions-and-hashimotos-with-kim-shapira/Join Kim’s Reset hereGet ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping If you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.com Get ThyroLove - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping 

Cortisol has become the hormone everyone loves to blame, the go-to villain for stress, stubborn weight, and feeling wired all the time. But that reputation misses what cortisol is actually doing in your body, and it skips right past the role your thyroid plays in the whole thing. Inna sits down with Dr. Jaclyn Smeaton, a naturopathic physician and the Chief Medical Officer at Dutch Test, who reads cortisol panels all day long and has watched even trained clinicians get them wrong for years. What she has come to understand points to a connection between cortisol and your thyroid that almost no one is talking about.Dr. Jaclyn reveals why a normal cortisol result can be one of the most misleading things on your labs, why some of the most stressed and wired people are not actually making too much cortisol at all, and why your thyroid may be the hidden reason your stress hormones are behaving the way they are. She and Inna get into the piece of testing most people never see, the mistake that keeps people stuck no matter how much they adjust their thyroid medication, and a surprising twist involving the one medication everyone is talking about right now.And in a turn most cortisol conversations never take, Dr. Jaclyn shares what finally settles an exhausted, wired system when no supplement is enough, along with an honest look at what real recovery actually asks of you. If something still feels off no matter what you have tried for your thyroid, this is the conversation that may finally explain why.For full show notes, please see:  https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/cortisol-thyroid-levels-dr-jaclyn-smeaton/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping If you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training atInnaTopiler.com/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.com Get ThyroLove - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping 

A lot of you have been wondering how Inna's son Jake is doing, and in this episode she gets personal about it. A few years ago, their family found out Jake has PANS/PANDAS, a condition where the immune system reacts to strep and other infections by inflaming the brain, and it can look like anxiety, OCD, tics, and tantrums that show up out of nowhere. It's a lot more common than people think, especially in kids whose moms have autoimmunity like Hashimoto's.Inna traces the two years it took to understand what was happening, the symptom that almost got missed, the antibiotics that brought Jake back in 48 hours, and the Lyme and full-moon pieces that turned out to matter more than she expected. It's honest about how nonlinear this has been, and how much of their life bends around it.But the real reason she made this episode is the bigger idea underneath it: what to do when you're stuck in the hard middle of something, past the scary start but nowhere near finished. If you have Hashimoto's or any chronic condition, that middle will sound familiar, and Inna shares the shift that's helped her stand in it differently.For full show notes, please see:  https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/coming-to-you-from-the-messy-middle/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping If you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training atInnaTopiler.com/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.com Get ThyroLove - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping 

There's a moment in almost every day when you feel something is off and immediately reach for a fix. Inna and Andrea Nakayama zero in on what happens if you don't reach quite so fast, and why that tiny space might be the thing that changes everything.It's a different kind of conversation than usual, one that gets personal and honest about what real healing with Hashimoto's actually asks of you. Andrea shares part of her own story that reframes the whole way you might look at your symptoms.Inna has said this is one of the conversations that stayed with her most. Press play and you'll understand why.For full show notes, please see:  https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/the-pause-between-your-symptom-and-your-next-fix-is-where-healing-actually-happens-with-andrea-nakayama/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping If you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training atInnaTopiler.com/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.com Get ThyroLove - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping 

If you have ever been told your estrogen looks normal while your body clearly says otherwise, this conversation is for you. Inna sits down with Dr. Carrie Jones, the internationally recognized hormone expert known to many as the Hormone Queen, to talk about the part of estrogen almost no one is looking at. It turns out the number on your lab is only a fraction of the picture, and what your body does with estrogen after it is made may matter far more than how much you have.Dr. Carrie walks through what actually happens to estrogen once it is produced, where the process tends to break down, and why two women with identical estrogen levels can feel completely different. She and Inna get into why some symptoms show up even when everything looks fine on paper, what a common at-home test can reveal that blood work never will, and why this applies to you whether you are cycling, in menopause, or considering hormones.And because this is so closely tied to the thyroid, Inna and Dr. Carrie connect the dots between inflammation, autoimmune flares, and the way your body processes estrogen when you have Hashimoto's. If you have ever felt like your hormones are working against you and no one could tell you why, this episode gives you a whole new place to look.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/estrogen-levels-detox-pathways-hashimotos-dr-carrie-jones/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping If you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.com Get ThyroLove - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping

If you have Hashimoto's and have been told your blood sugar is "borderline" or "fine for now," this conversation will change how you think about it. Inna sits down with Dr. Jason Shumard, a functional medicine practitioner with more than two decades of experience in diabetes and insulin resistance, to unpack why blood sugar troubles and thyroid autoimmunity so often travel together. The surprising takeaway is that elevated blood sugar usually isn't a sugar problem at all. It's a signal that something has gone wrong at the level of the cell, and chasing the number alone tends to leave the real issue untouched.Dr. Jason walks through what's actually happening when insulin can no longer do its job, and why the receptors on your cells stop responding in the first place. He explains the role that hidden drivers like infections, mold, heavy metals, chronic inflammation and everyday stress play in keeping the cycle going, and why these overlap so heavily with the same triggers behind Hashimoto's. He and Inna also dig into the lab markers worth paying attention to beyond a basic glucose reading, the optimal ranges he looks for, and the simple ratio already sitting on most standard bloodwork that can flag insulin resistance early.The discussion gets especially practical around carbohydrates, GLP-1 medications, and the idea of cycling rather than relying on any single tool forever. Dr. Jason offers a refreshingly balanced view, neither demonizing carbs nor treating medications as a permanent fix, and shares why restoring true cellular function is what allows so many people to move toward remission. It's an honest, hopeful look at a topic that affects far more people with thyroid issues than most realize, and a reminder that the body is often far more capable of healing than we've been led to believe.For full show notes, please see: https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/lowering-blood-sugar-insulin-resistance-hashimotos-dr-jason-shumard/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping If you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.com Get ThyroLove - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping
