    Apr 24 2025

    Are you tired of hearing that stress is “just part of motherhood” or that you simply need to push through? In this episode of Health with Hashimoto’s, I’m joined by nervous system coach Rachel Skinner Fernandez. Together, we talk about how stress is more than a feeling—it’s something your body experiences deeply, and it can disrupt everything from your thyroid to your mood. If you’ve ever found yourself snapping at your kids, feeling stuck in overwhelm, or pushing past hunger until 2 p.m., this conversation is for you. Rachel shares her story and simple shifts you can make to start calming your nervous system naturally. You’ll learn:

    • Why your body might be stuck in stress mode—and how it’s impacting your Hashimoto’s

    • How creating safety cues through food, rest, and sunlight can shift your stress response

    • What it looks like to listen to your body and actually respond to its needs

    Press play to discover simple, doable ways to support your body so you can feel more like yourself again.
