Are you tracking your macros, lifting weights, cutting gluten—and still not losing weight with Hashimoto’s? What could be the missing piece?

In this solo episode of Thyroid Strong, Dr. Emily Kiberd dives into a rarely discussed but shockingly common root cause behind weight loss resistance in women with Hashimoto’s: parasites. Yes, even if you haven’t left the country, parasites could be hijacking your gut health, tanking your energy, and blocking your metabolism.

Emily breaks down how parasites are more than just a travel concern—they're a stealthy and often-overlooked factor in inflammation, autoimmune flares, nutrient deficiencies, and the inability to lose weight despite doing everything “right.”
