"Cutting sugar can help lessen symptoms of Hashimoto's": Monica
May 10, 2026
Monica grew up in Australia with health-conscious parents. But as life got busier and more stressful, she started eating more and more sugar.
And eventually, working in the health industry of all places, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's.
In this episode, Monica breaks down what Hashimoto's actually is, why it's so often missed or misdiagnosed for years, and why sugar plays a much bigger role in this autoimmune condition than most people — and most doctors — realize.
This one is especially relevant if you're a woman in your 40s, 50s, or beyond, because as Monica explains, hormonal shifts like perimenopause and menopause are one of the most common triggers for Hashimoto's to develop or flare up.
Now Monica helps other mums do what she had to figure out herself — get to the root of what's driving their Hashimoto's so they can finally feel like themselves again.
