The Thyroid, Autoimmunity & Why So Many Midlife Women Are Being Dismissed

With special guest: Naomi Suzanne | Midlife Energy Podcast
We need to talk about something that’s happening to far too many women, especially in midlife.
Fatigue.
Weight gain.
Anxiety.
Brain fog.
Strange symptoms that doctors can’t quite explain…
And far too often, the answer is:
“It’s just menopause. Take this antidepressant.”
In the latest episode of the Midlife Energy Podcast, I sit down with Naomi Suzanne from Naomi’s Home Health to talk about her deeply personal journey through thyroid disease, Hashimoto’s, and autoimmune healing.
🩺 Naomi’s Story
Naomi knows exactly what it feels like to be dismissed, misdiagnosed, and told that her health issues were “all in her head.” After years of frustration with the traditional medical system, she took matters into her own hands, began researching, and eventually healed her body using natural solutions — and now she helps other women do the same.
Her lived experience highlights what many of us already know: true healing needs to address the whole person — physically, emotionally, and mentally.
🔎 In this episode, we cover:
- Why midlife is often when thyroid issues first appear
- How chronic stress becomes the silent trigger behind many autoimmune conditions
- The misunderstood role of the liver, adrenals, and nervous system in thyroid function
- Why weight gain isn’t always about food or exercise
- How to trust your intuition when your body is telling you something isn’t right
As Naomi says:
“You know your body better than anyone. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it.”
