Registered Nurse

Esther Yunkin

I’m the nurse who sorts Hashimoto’s into thyroid or immune.

Most women with Hashimoto’s don’t need more information. They have a folder full of saved posts, a cabinet full of supplements, and no idea what to do first. I teach them how to think about their condition instead of handing them more to think about.

If you’re looking for a Hashimoto’s podcast guest who teaches a framework rather than a protocol, I’d like to talk with your audience.

Long (138 words)

Esther Yunkin, RN, has spent 25 years in nursing, across rural clinics, hospital floors, and emergency departments. For most of those years she cared for women with fatigue, brain fog, and weight that wouldn’t move, and watched almost none of them get tested for the antibodies that would have named what was actually happening.

In 2021 she got that diagnosis herself.

She now hosts the Health with Hashimoto’s podcast, with over 200 episodes and 160,000 downloads. Her work is built on one idea: you don’t have an information problem, you have a sorting problem. Everything a woman has already collected about Hashimoto’s belongs in one of two buckets, thyroid or immune. Sorted, it becomes a starting point.

Esther lives in Minnesota with her husband Jon (also an RN) and their four sons.

Before you pitch: my audience is women with Hashimoto’s who have already done the research. They don’t need an introduction to the condition and they can spot a sales pitch immediately. The strongest pitches name one specific thing you’d teach them.

Note: While the Health with Hashimoto’s podcast is not a Christian podcast, the host is a Christian. As such, the show does not feature New-Age or New Thought practices (i.e. manifesting, crystal use, chanting, reiki, mind emptying meditation, etc.) or other anti-Christian health topics.
