Have you ever wondered why you’re still battling bloating, brain fog, weight gain, or a sluggish thyroid despite doing “all the right things”? What if the missing link isn’t your diet or thyroid meds … but a silent gut invader?
In this episode of the Paloma podcast, we dive into the astonishing world of Helicobacter pylori (“H. pylori”) — a common stomach bacterium that often flies under the radar but can quietly sabotage your digestion, hormones, metabolism, and thyroid. H. pylori isn’t just about ulcers; it may be fueling autoimmune thyroid issues, hormonal chaos during perimenopause or menopause, and that “why-won’t-my-weight-budge” frustration.
Here’s what we’ll uncover:
How H. pylori can slip quietly into your system, evade detection and trigger long-term havoc in digestion and immune function.
The surprising link between gut bacteria, your thyroid gland (hello, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) and hormonal shifts — including nutrient malabsorption, immune activation and metabolic slowdowns.
Why treatment is more than “just antibiotics” — we’ll look at both conventional eradication strategies and integrative gut-first approaches that support digestion, thyroid and metabolic health.
A practical roadmap you can walk out of the podcast with: key signs that H. pylori might be underlying your symptoms, what tests to ask for, how the gut-hormone-thyroid triangle really works … and the next step toward rebalancing.
Whether you’re navigating thyroid autoimmunity, age-related hormonal changes, stubborn weight issues or unexplained digestive upset — this episode will give you fresh insight into a hidden driver that many health-seekers overlook.
🎧Tune in, and get ready to connect the dots between your gut, hormones, and thyroid — and take a step closer to clarity and healing!

Is menopause more than just mood swings, night sweats, and weight changes? What if this transformative life stage also unlocks a hidden immune wildfire—turning on or worsening autoimmune conditions?
In this episode of the Paloma podcast, we unravel the surprising connection between menopause and autoimmune disease, diving deep into how the drop in estrogen and shifting hormones could reshape your immune landscape. Based on insights from Paloma Health, we’ll explore how declining ovarian hormones can influence T cells, inflammation, and the potential onset or flare of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Here’s what you’ll hear:
The science behind how estrogen loss during menopause impacts immune regulation—and why that matters.
Why some autoimmune symptoms may *emerge* around menopause, even if you’ve never had one.
Why others might actually feel some relief — and how inflammation and hormone therapy play both roles.
Important strategies for managing immunity during menopause: what to track, which biomarkers to test, and how to partner with your healthcare team.
Whether you’re navigating menopause and worried about autoimmune risk, or already living with an autoimmune condition and wondering how this hormonal shift will affect you — this episode shines a light on the immune-hormone crossroads many don’t talk about.
🎧Tune in now, and get ready to reframe your menopause journey—not just as a hormonal transition, but as a powerful immune inflection point.

Ever wondered what it really means to undergo a thyroidectomy -- surgery to remove your thyroid? Why is it done? What are the risks and rewards? How does life look when you’re living without a thyroid?
In this episode, we’re diving deep into a journey some of you with thyroid disorders face: removal, recovery, and rebuilding.
What you’ll learn:
The why: From persistent symptoms in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis to nodules, goiter, or cancer — when thyroid removal becomes the next step. We unpack when surgery is recommended and what you should ask before saying “yes”.
The how & what: What does a thyroidectomy entail? What types exist (partial vs total)? What does recovery look like—short-term, long-term?
The pros & cons: On one hand, removal can relieve stubborn symptoms or eliminate recurring issues. On the other hand: surgical risks (voice changes, parathyroid damage, hypocalcemia), lifelong hormone replacement, and unexpected challenges.
We also answer the big question: “Can you live without a thyroid gland?”
You'll also get an action plan: If you’re facing or have had a thyroidectomy: how to optimize your hormone replacement, protect your voice and calcium levels, monitor your antibody/autoimmune activity (yes, even without a thyroid your body’s immune system still matters).
Why you’ll want to listen? Because removing your thyroid isn’t just a “cut and heal” procedure—it rewires your hormone landscape, your metabolism, your self-care routine. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, considering surgery, or navigating life post-thyroidectomy, this episode arms you with the knowledge, nuance, and confidence to ask the right questions and take ownership of your health.
🎧Tune in and empower yourself: understand the full map from decision-making to recovery to thriving after thyroid removal.

Are you living with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or hypothyroidism and feeling extra tired, foggy, or out of sync after the time change?
Join us for this episode of the Paloma Health podcast as we uncover how the seemingly simple act of “springing forward” or “falling back” can ripple through your body—especially when your thyroid is part of the equation.
We’ll dive into:
Why the one-hour shift affects your internal clock (aka your circadian rhythm) AND your thyroid-hormone rhythms.
How the time change can worsen fatigue, mood swings, poor sleep and metabolic imbalances for people with thyroid dysfunction.
Smart, practical strategies to soften the blow: from gradually shifting your bedtime, boosting morning light exposure, to mindful use of melatonin and fine-tuning your medication routine.
Why even if your thyroid labs are “normal,” the clock change may still leave you feeling off—and what to do about it.
Whether you’re a longtime thyroid warrior or newly diagnosed, this episode is your wake-up call to the hidden impact of time changes.
🎧Tune in so you can self-advocate, stay one step ahead of the seasonal shift, and keep your thyroid journey on track no matter what the clock says.

In this episode, we dive deep into the often overlooked intersections between hormonal health and mood. We’ll explore how the hormonal roller-coaster of perimenopause can trigger depression; how an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can silently undermine your mental health, cognition and memory; and how winter’s shorter days and low light can amplify the risk of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) — especially when thyroid issues are in the mix.
You’ll learn:
Why women in their 40s-50s may face a 40 % higher risk of depression during perimenopause — and how those symptoms may overlap with thyroid dysfunction.
How hypothyroidism mimics and worsens depression, anxiety, brain-fog and fatigue — and why it often goes undiagnosed.
The link between thyroid-autoimmune inflammation, structural brain changes and cognitive/mood symptoms in Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism.
Practical strategies to navigate these overlapping conditions: combining thyroid screening, lifestyle tweaks (sleep, nutrition, light exposure), therapy/CBT, and when medical hormone-or thyroid-treatment becomes essential.
How to spot when “just feeling off” is more than stress: the red flags that signal mood symptoms need a hormonal check.
Whether you’re entering perimenopause, suspect a thyroid condition or are managing seasonal mood dips — this episode will help you connect the dots and equip you with evidence-based tools to reclaim your mood and hormonal balance.
🎧Tune in to get clarity, confidence and actionable steps for a stronger mind-body connection.

From heavy or unpredictable bleedings to the months when your period vanishes altogether, thyroid dysfunction can cast a long shadow across your reproductive health. We explore how:
Low thyroid levels can lead to irregular or heavy periods, or even amenorrhea (the absence of menstruation)
Hashimoto’s flare-ups may spike around certain phases of your menstrual cycle, intensifying fatigue, mood shifts, and symptom burden
The immune system, hormones, and inflammation conspire to shift your cycle in ways you might not expect
Premature ovarian insufficiency and perimenopause signals may intersect with Hashimoto’s, influencing fertility and hormonal balance

Have you ever felt like your body is working against you—no matter how much you diet or exercise? You’re not imagining it. In this episode, we uncover what really happens when your thyroid slows down—and why shedding pounds becomes an uphill battle.
We’ll dig into the science behind:
How hypothyroidism drags down your metabolism—even when you’re on treatment
Why insulin resistance and leptin resistance throw off your hunger cues and fat storage systems
What role do things like appetite spikes, water retention, fatigue and joint pain play in stalling weight loss efforts
And most importantly: we’ll map out a realistic path forward. Think beyond calories. We’ll talk about:
What “optimal thyroid treatment” really means—and how getting your hormone levels dialed in can make a big difference
How nutrition, sleep, stress, and movement all become part of the equation
When supplements or medications like GLP-1s may be helpful—and what to watch out for
🎧 If you’re tired of feeling like weight loss is impossible, tune in to this episode! It’s your launch pad to understanding why, and discovering how to finally get unstuck!
