191 // How Amino Acids Support Your Brain, Gut, and Hashimoto's Progress ⎸ Interview with Laurie Hammer
Have you ever done everything "right" and still felt like your body wasn't cooperating?
If you have Hashimoto's and you're already working on your gut, your diet, and your stress — but something still feels off — there may be a missing piece nobody has talked to you about yet. The connection between amino acids and Hashimoto's is more powerful than most people realize, and it could be the key to why you're still stuck.
In this episode, Esther sits down with Laurie Hammer, functional nutritional therapy practitioner and creator of the Calm Mom Method, to talk about how amino acids and Hashimoto's are connected and why calming your neurology first can change everything else.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why amino acids are foundational for women with Hashimoto's and what happens when you're deficient in them
- The most common mistakes women make with protein, fasting, and sleep that keep them from making progress
- How calming your brain first creates a cascade effect that supports your gut, your thyroid, and your immune system
Hit play and find out what your brain, your gut, and your thyroid have been trying to tell you.
