In this episode, I sit down with Steve Anderson, a compounding pharmacist and owner of The Apothecary, to explore the potential of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) in managing autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. LDN has been a game-changer for me personally, helping me feel “normal” again after years of struggling. If you’ve been curious about LDN or are considering it as part of your autoimmune health journey, this episode is packed with insights.

What We Discuss in This Episode:

• How LDN works to support people with autoimmune conditions, including Hashimoto’s.
• The range of symptoms LDN can improve and what to expect when starting.
• Whether LDN is a lifelong treatment or a temporary tool in autoimmune management.
• Practical tips on how to discuss LDN with your doctor and determine if it’s the right option for you.

Steve shares his expertise in compounding and integrative medicine to help us better understand how LDN fits into a holistic approach to autoimmune wellness.
