209 How Hypervigilance Keeps Hashimoto’s Stuck, Even With the Right Protocol, with Karyn Shanks

from Thyroid Mystery Solved: Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism Revealed · host Inna Topiler with Guest Karyn Shanks

You can follow a solid protocol for Hashimoto’s and still feel like something is not fully clicking.Your labs may look better. Your inflammation markers may improve. But your body still feels braced, wired, or unable to truly settle.In this episode, Inna sits down with Dr. Karyn Shanks to talk about a layer of healing that rarely gets addressed, hypervigilance.We explore how overfunctioning, overworking, and constantly being on can become a stress pattern that keeps cortisol elevated and the immune system reactive. Not because you are failing, but because your nervous system has learned to stay alert.You will see how sensations like throat tightness, chest constriction, or a constant sense of urgency are not random. We talk about the difference between a sensation and the story your brain builds around it, and why giving a feeling space for even ninety seconds can shift your physiology.We also discuss trauma informed care, why safety has to come before deeper healing, and how overdoing can be tied to worthiness and performance rather than true resilience.Healing is not only biochemical. It is also nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and learning when to say yes and when to say no.This episode will help you look at your thyroid healing through a wider lens and understand what might still be keeping your body on guard.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/hashimotos-protocol-karyn-shanks/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
