  • It’s Never Too Late: How a 69-Year-Old Lost 16lbs and Built Muscle

    It’s Never Too Late: How a 69-Year-Old Lost 16lbs and Built Muscle
    Feb 12 2026

    What if Hashimoto’s and type 2 diabetes didn’t mean fatigue, stubborn weight, and blood sugar chaos for the rest of your life?

    In this episode of the Thyroid Strong Podcast, I sit down with my client MaryBeth, who shares her powerful transformation after decades of living with Hashimoto’s, type 2 diabetes, IBS symptoms, and constant exhaustion.

    When I first met, Mary Beth was doing everything she thought she was supposed to do—working out, eating “healthy,” even using GLP-1 medications—yet her fasting blood sugars were still in the 180s, her A1C hovered above optimal, and weight loss felt impossible.

    Fast forward to today:

    1. Her A1C is 5.3
    2. Her fasting blood sugar averages ~85
    3. She’s lost 16+ pounds
    4. She’s lifting heavy, eating more food, and feels better at 69 than she did in her 50s

    This conversation offers an honest look at what actually changed—and why the work we did to address root causes, not just symptoms, made all the difference.

    Video:In this episode, we cover:
    1. 02:15 – Life before we met, diagnoses, exhaustion, poor sleep
    2. 03:50 – Waking up with blood sugars in the 180s and how that felt
    3. 04:55 – “I barely ate… yogurt, salads, not enough protein”
    4. 06:20 – Metformin, Jardiance, GLP-1s, and why A1C ≠ feeling good
    5. 09:10 – Parasite exposure, gut work, die-off, and “the metal taste”
    6. 12:05 – Deadlifting, muscle, form, and realizing how strong she was
    7. 14:30 – Size changes, body recomposition, and redefining success
    8. 16:40 – “You’re not too old. You need to lift more and eat more.”
    9. 18:45 – “Exercise is first. Everything else fits around it.”
    10. 22:05 – “I eat more now than I ever have—and I’m still losing weight”

    If you’ve ever been told your labs are “fine,” your A1C is “good enough,” or weight gain is just part of aging with Hashimoto’s, this episode will change how you think about what’s possible.

    Mary Beth’s story is proof that:

    1. You are not too old
    2. Your body isn’t broken
    3. Eating more, lifting heavy, and stabilizing blood sugar can change everything

  • Gallbladder Attacks in Hashimoto’s: The Root Cause No One Is Talking About

    Gallbladder Attacks in Hashimoto’s: The Root Cause No One Is Talking About
    Feb 5 2026
    Gallbladder Attacks in Hashimoto’s: The Root Cause No One Is Talking About

    If you’ve ever felt pain under your right rib cage, nausea after eating fats, or bloating that doesn’t make sense—this episode is for you.

    In this episode of the Thyroid Strong Podcast, Dr. Emily Kiberd dives into one of the most overlooked issues affecting women with Hashimoto’s: gallbladder dysfunction. She shares her personal story of gallbladder attacks starting in her early 20s, why she refused surgery, and how addressing the true root causes finally resolved her symptoms.

    You’ll learn why gallbladder pain isn’t “just digestion” — and how poor bile flow, low stomach acid, estrogen dominance, mold exposure, and even parasites can quietly sabotage your thyroid, hormones, and fat metabolism.

    If you’ve been told your only option is gallbladder removal… this episode may completely change how you see your symptoms.

    In this episode, we cover:
    1. 00:11 — Why gallbladder pain is often missed or misdiagnosed in Hashimoto’s
    2. 00:37 — Dr. Kiberd’s personal gallbladder story (starting at age 21)
    3. 01:31 — What the gallbladder actually does (and why you need it)
    4. 02:49 — The thyroid–bile–gallbladder connection explained simply
    5. 03:32 — Key symptoms to watch for (right rib pain, nausea, floating stools)
    6. 05:00 — Why gallbladder pain is a signal, not a diagnosis
    7. 05:45 — Why gallbladder removal often doesn’t fix the real problem
    8. 06:20 — How poor bile flow impacts hormones, detox, and inflammation
    9. 07:10 — Root causes surgeons don’t talk about (mold, parasites, estrogen)
    10. 08:10 — Labs and imaging that can point to gallbladder dysfunction
    11. 09:00 — How Dr. Kiberd approaches gallbladder issues in her 1:1 practice
    12. 10:00 — Supporting bile flow, digestion, and fat tolerance safely
    13. 10:44 — Final takeaways + next steps for Hashimoto’s healing

    This episode is a must-listen if you’re gluten-free, “doing all the right things,” and still dealing with pain, bloating, or stubborn inflammation.

    🎧 Listen now and learn how supporting your gallbladder can unlock better thyroid healing.
