Navigating Pregnancy with Hypothyroidism with Rachel Hill

They say pregnancy is a miracle—but for those of us with hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, Graves’ disease, or no thyroid at all, it can also feel like navigating a medical minefield.

From fertility struggles to confusing lab results to postpartum flares, pregnancy with a thyroid condition brings unique challenges. Many of us are left feeling unprepared, overlooked, and unsure of how to advocate for ourselves through it all.

That’s why I’m so excited to share this episode of Thyroid-Healthy Bites, featuring my friend and fellow thyroid advocate Rachel Hill, author of the newly released The Positive Thyroid Pregnancy Book.

Rachel and I sat down for an honest and supportive conversation about how to manage pregnancy when you have thyroid issues. Whether you’re trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or navigating postpartum healing, this episode is full of real talk and actionable tips to help you feel informed, empowered, and supported.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The biggest myths about thyroid health and pregnancy

• What labs to get (and when) to optimize thyroid function during pregnancy

• Rachel’s personal pregnancy journey and why she wrote this book

• Nutrition and lifestyle strategies to support a healthy thyroid pregnancy

• How to advocate for yourself in a healthcare system that often overlooks us

This is more than just a pregnancy episode—it’s a conversation about being seen, supported, and heard as a thyroid patient in one of the most important seasons of life.
