203 Get the Benefits of Fasting Without Actually Fasting - In a Way That Supports Your Thyroid and Actually Works for Hashimoto’s with Renée Fitton

There is always a deeper story behind emotional eating, and in this episode Inna and guest Lisa Schlosberg open up the layers most people never connect to food. They explore the moments when you eat without hunger, the childhood patterns that shaped your sense of safety, and the reasons your body may turn to food even when your mind insists you are “fine.” What begins as a conversation about eating quickly becomes a conversation about emotional wiring, nervous system responses, and the parts of you that learned to cope long before you had words for it.Lisa shares her own experience of losing 150 pounds and discovering that the harder work had nothing to do with calories or willpower. It was learning how to feel feelings she spent years avoiding. It was realizing food had been her protection, her comfort, and her armor. Together, she and Inna talk about why emotional hunger feels real, why you can’t solve an emotional problem with a physical solution, and how self compassion and internal safety begin to shift lifelong patterns around eating.They also explore the small, often unnoticed triggers that shape your relationship with food. Clean plate conditioning. Scarcity wiring. Eating in front of screens. The need for stimulation. The pull toward comfort when you are overwhelmed. The instinct to stay “strong” at the cost of your own emotional expression. And for many with Hashimoto’s, the way growing up without validation creates a lifelong habit of seeking comfort and reassurance outside of yourself.This episode is a grounded, deeply human look at emotional eating, inner safety, and the process of gently rewriting the relationship you have with food. It brings together mind, body, and emotion in a way that will help you understand yourself on an entirely new level.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/eating-not-hungry-relationship-food-lisa-schlosberg/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 For more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.comIf 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/zoomcall

Fasting is everywhere these days, but most traditional fasting approaches are too harsh when you have Hashimoto’s. Long stretches without food can feel destabilizing, draining, and completely unrealistic for a thyroid that is already under stress. However there is a different approach called fasting mimicking that creates the deeper cellular benefits of fasting while you are still eating real food. Fasting mimicking has been heavily researched for decades and is designed to activate the same fasting pathways that support things like metabolism, energy, longevity, and overall cellular renewal. Instead of pushing the body into stress, it uses precise nutrients that keep the fasting response going while still providing nourishment, which makes it far more compatible with the needs of someone living with Hashimoto’s. It also offers an approachable way to support weight, inflammation, and metabolic health without cutting calories to extremes or spiking cortisol.This is the kind of information that changes how you think about fasting altogether and incredibly relevant if regular fasting has ever made you feel worse instead of better.

In this second part of my conversation with Dr. Felice Gersh, we shift the focus to progesterone and what it really means for your health. You’ve probably heard that progesterone is only important if you have a uterus, or that it’s just about preventing uterine cancer, but that’s far from the whole story.You’ll hear why oral progesterone, the most common form prescribed, may actually be doing more harm than good, how it creates unnaturally high levels of certain metabolites that can sedate the brain, and why this could even impact memory long-term. We also talk about safer and more effective ways to use progesterone that actually work with your body.And if you’re in menopause, or even decades past it, you’ll discover why cycling hormones still matters and how it can support your brain, bones, immune system, and thyroid health.

In this powerful episode, Inna is joined by transformational leader and inner child expert Anat Peri to explore an unexpected twist in the Hashimoto’s healing journey. Together, they dive into the case of Jessica, who was doing all the “right” things, following the AIP diet, taking supplements, working on her mindset, but still felt exhausted and stuck. Her symptoms weren’t improving, and her doctor’s solution was to increase her medication yet again.The turning point came when she uncovered something deeper. Jessica was trying so hard to stay positive, think positive, do her affirmations because that is what she was told she should be doing. However by doing that, she was unintentionally overriding her true emotions and it made her feel way worse.Anat explains how this kind of forced positivity can be a detriment because it can actually create stress in the nervous system, keeping the body in a chronic state of fight, flight, or freeze. This episode unpacks how overriding your feelings can actually worsen autoimmune symptoms and why true healing starts with emotional safety.Anat also shares the science behind how the nervous system reacts faster than the conscious mind, how inner child work helps create safety, and why nervous system regulation must come before mindset work can truly be effective. From breathwork to sensation naming to reparenting tools, you’ll learn how to create space for your emotions and support your healing from the inside out.This episode is an essential listen for anyone who has tried it all and still feels like something is missing. It might not be about doing more. It might be about feeling more.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/positive-thinking-hashimotos-anat-peri/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Hashimoto’s at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.comIf 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/zoomcall

If you have Hashimoto’s, there’s a very real chance you’re also an empath and you may not even realize it.This matters more than you think. Because when you’re highly sensitive and constantly absorbing everything around you (other people’s energy, emotions, even stress), your nervous system takes the hit. And when the nervous system is in overdrive, it becomes very hard to heal, no matter how clean your diet is or how many supplements you take.In this episode, Inna is joined by trauma-informed coach and empath expert Kristen Schwartz to talk about something that’s rarely discussed in the Hashimoto’s world: how being an unrecognized empath can be one of the biggest hidden blocks to healing. Kristen breaks down how fatigue, overstimulation, anxiety, heart palpitations, and even sleep issues can all trace back to nervous system dysregulation and how this shows up differently in sensitive people.You’ll learn how to tell if this is what’s really happening in your body, how to start regulating (without adding more to your to-do list), and how to gently reconnect to yourself without pressure or performance. Kristen shares simple but powerful shifts that help you reclaim your energy, feel safe in your body again, and finally get unstuck.If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but still feel wired, tired, or anxious, this conversation could be the missing link. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of what’s really going on under the surface and what to do about it.----------For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/empath-thyroid-connection-kristen-schwartz/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Hashimoto’s at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.comIf 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/zoomcall
