631. Why Your Thyroid Hates Intermittent Fasting + The 7 Skills to Lasting Health — with the Trim Healthy Mamas

Author: Dr. Amie Hornaman May 19, 2026 Duration: 49:38
If breakfast has become “optional” and food rules have left you more exhausted than empowered, this episode is going to completely flip the script on what lasting health actually looks like. In this conversation, I sit down with the founders of Trim Healthy Mama, Pearl Barrett and Serene Allison, to unpack the powerful message behind their new book Seven Skills for Lasting Health. We dive into why so many women are burned out from extreme dieting, fasting trends, and all-or-nothing thinking, and how developing sustainable “skills” instead of rigid rules can completely transform your metabolism, hormones, mindset, and relationship with food.  What you’ll learn: Why skipping breakfast may be working against your metabolism The surprising connection between cortisol, thyroid health, and fasting How perfectionism quietly sabotages long term health goals The real reason extreme diets stop working over time How to fuel your body without obsessing over calories or macros If you want to dive deeper into the seven skills we discussed today, grab the book and connect with Pearl and Serene through the links in the show notes. You do not have to live stuck in food confusion and metabolic burnout anymore. There is a gentler, sustainable path forward.
