What this episode covers
In this episode of PCOS Unfiltered: Nourish, Heal, Thrive, I sit down once again with Dr. Anya Szigeti, functional medicine practitioner and author, to uncover the overlooked connection between PCOS and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. We dive deep into why these two conditions often coexist, the root causes that fuel them, and the subtle symptoms many women miss. Dr. Anya breaks down the most important labs and functional tests to request, the impact of gut health, inflammation, and stress on hormones, and how lifestyle and nutrition interventions can begin to restore balance. She also shares her personal healing journey from severe thyroid dysfunction to reclaiming her health through functional medicine. This conversation will empower you with the knowledge and tools to advocate for yourself, ask the right questions, and take actionable steps toward healing.
