Summary
FREE Hashimoto’s and Thyroid Type Training and Support Call Thursday July 16, 2026 @ 8:30pm Eastern Register here: https://innatopiler.com/zoomcall/ You can follow a solid protocol for Hashimoto’s and still feel like something is not fully clicking. Your labs may look better. Your inflammation markers may improve. But your body still feels braced, wired, or unable to truly settle. In this episode, Inna sits down with Dr. Karyn Shanks to talk about a layer of healing that rarely gets addressed, hypervigilance. We explore how overfunctioning, overworking, and constantly being on can become a stress pattern that keeps cortisol elevated and the immune system reactive. Not because you are failing, but because your nervous system has learned to stay alert. You will see how sensations like throat tightness, chest constriction, or a constant sense of urgency are not random. We talk about the difference between a sensation and the story your brain builds around it, and why giving a feeling space for even ninety seconds can shift your physiology. We also discuss trauma informed care, why safety has to come before deeper healing, and how overdoing can be tied to worthiness and performance rather than true resilience. Healing is not only biochemical. It is also nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and learning when to say yes and when to say no. This episode will help you look at your thyroid healing through a wider lens and understand what might still be keeping your body on guard.
