    In this month's Healing Questions episode, we're answering some of the most common questions from our amazing community. From intrusive thoughts and health anxiety to that terrifying feeling of impending doom, we're having the honest conversations we wish more people would have about anxiety and recovery. In this episode, we discuss: • Do intrusive thoughts ever truly go away?• What should you do when a doctor dismisses your concerns or attributes everything to anxiety?• Have we struggled with anxiety our entire lives?• Why does anxiety sometimes create a feeling that death is near or something terrible is about to happen?• What can you do when none of your usual coping tools seem to be helping?• How do you stop your mind from immediately jumping to the worst-case scenario? Whether you're in the middle of a difficult season or simply looking for reassurance and practical tools, we hope this conversation reminds you that you're not alone and that healing is possible.

    290. Could Your Thyroid Be Behind Your Anxiety? Ft. Carrie Vitt
    May 21 2026
    This week on The Anxiety Chicks, we’re diving deeper into the connection between anxiety and Hashimoto’s with special guest. After opening the conversation in a previous episode, we wanted to bring on an expert to help break down what Hashimoto’s actually is, how it can impact both physical and mental health, and why symptoms like anxiety, panic, depression, fatigue, brain fog, and feeling “off” shouldn’t always be dismissed as just anxiety. One thing we strongly believe in is getting properly medically evaluated and advocating for your health instead of automatically assuming every symptom is anxiety-related. Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune thyroid condition that can sometimes show up in ways many people don’t expect — including mental health symptoms. In this episode, Carrie shares her own experience, discusses the root causes and common symptoms of Hashimoto’s, and explains the role nutrition, stress, hormones, and lifestyle can play in healing and supporting the body. Carrie Vitt is a Functional Nutritional Therapist at, founder of the wellness site Deliciously Organic, creator of online thyroid and adrenal health courses, and author of the cookbooks Deliciously Organic and The Grain-Free Family Table.
