If you’ve been told you’re “just tired”…

If your labs are “normal”…

If you feel like something is off but no one is listening…

This episode is for you.

In this kickoff episode of Season 1: Autoimmune 101, we break down the 10 early warning signs of autoimmune disease that are often ignored, dismissed, or misdiagnosed — especially in women.

We’re talking about:

• Chronic fatigue that sleep doesn’t fix

• Unexplained hair loss

• Brain fog that makes you question yourself

• Dry eyes and Sjögren’s symptoms

• Weight gain tied to Hashimoto’s

• Anxiety symptoms that aren’t actually anxiety

• Joint pain and inflammation

• Skin changes and rashes

• Temperature sensitivity

• And the gut instinct that something isn’t right

We also share our personal experiences navigating thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune testing, medical gaslighting, and advocating for deeper lab work.

This isn’t fear-based.

This is awareness-based.

Because early detection matters.

Inflammation progresses when ignored.

And you deserve answers.

If you’re navigating autoimmune symptoms, thyroid issues, chronic illness, or unexplained health changes — this episode gives you clarity, validation, and next steps.

You’re not lazy.

You’re not dramatic.

You’re not crazy.

You deserve answers.

What does it mean to navigate a body that looks fine… but doesn’t feel fine?

In this episode of Unhinged N Loud, we talk about what it’s really like to live with invisible illness — from autoimmune disease and chronic fatigue to Hashimoto’s, Sjögren’s, IPF, COPD, and the emotional weight that comes with them.

Navigating invisible illness isn’t just about managing symptoms.

It’s about:

• Fighting for a diagnosis

• Being dismissed by doctors

• Explaining your fatigue over and over

• Losing people who don’t understand

• Learning how to advocate for yourself

• Rebuilding your identity after diagnosis

We break down the confusion, the frustration, and the strength it takes to live in a body others can’t see struggling.

If you’ve ever heard:

“You don’t look sick.”

“Your labs are normal.”

“It’s probably stress.”

This conversation is for you.

One of us is calm. One of us is loud.

But both of us are navigating invisible illness in real time — and telling the truth about it.

You are not lazy.

You are not dramatic.

And you are not alone.

What happens when your body is screaming… but your doctor says you’re “fine”?

In this episode of Unhinged N Loud, we open up about our real diagnoses — from Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis to Sjögren’s, IPF, COPD, and the complications that changed our lives — and the painful truth about being dismissed by the very people who were supposed to help us.

We talk about:

• The first symptoms we noticed something was wrong

• Being told it was “just stress” or “just anxiety”

• Normal lab work that wasn’t actually normal

• How long it really took to get answers

• The emotional toll of medical gaslighting

• And how we finally learned to advocate for ourselves

One of us is calm. One of us is loud.

But both of us know what it feels like to not be believed.

If you’ve ever left a doctor’s office feeling unheard, this episode is for you.

Because your symptoms are real.

Your pain is real.

And your voice deserves to be heard.

What do you do when your body looks fine on the outside… but is fighting a war on the inside?

In this episode of Unhinged N Loud, we talk about what it really means to live in a body that’s constantly betraying you — even when nobody else can see it. From being told “you don’t look sick” to losing friendships because you were too tired to show up, to medical gaslighting that makes you question your own reality… living with an invisible illness is more than physical pain — it’s emotional isolation.

One of us is calm.

One of us is loud.

Together, we unpack the grief, the guilt, the boundaries, and the resilience that comes with navigating autoimmune disease in a world that only understands what it can see.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever had to cancel plans, push through the pain, advocate for themselves in a doctor’s office, or smile when their body was silently screaming.

You’re not lazy.

You’re not dramatic.

You’re living with an invisible body — and we see you.

Living with autoimmune disease doesn’t just change your body —

it changes your friendships.

In our very first episode of Unhinged N Loud, we’re getting honest about what happens when life gets heavy and people disappear.

We talk about:

• The friends who slowly faded after diagnosis

• The ones who stayed when we were too tired to show up

• Being “too much” and “not enough” at the same time

• Calm processing vs loud unfiltered truth

• And why healing sometimes costs you people

One of us is soft-spoken and reflective.

The other one? Loud. Unfiltered. Slightly unhinged.

But both of us are real.

If you’ve ever felt abandoned in your hardest season, misunderstood because of your health, or grateful for the few who truly stayed — this episode is for you.

This is more than a podcast.

This is what happens when two women stop pretending and start telling the truth.

Welcome to Unhinged N Loud.

Welcome to Unhinged N Loud — the podcast where one of us is calm, the other is loud, and together we talk about the things nobody prepares you for when you’re living with an invisible illness.

We’re Amber and Esther — navigating autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, medical gaslighting, friendships that changed when our bodies did, and the mental toll of trying to look “fine” when everything hurts.

This isn’t just about diagnoses.

It’s about:

• Friendships that faded when you got sick

• Doctors that didn’t listen

• The grief of losing your old self

• The pressure to keep showing up

• And healing in a world that expects you to perform strength

If you’ve ever been told:

“You don’t look sick”

“Maybe it’s just stress”

“Everyone gets tired”

This podcast is for you.

From flare days to faith, boundaries to burnout — we’re sharing real stories, real laughs, and real talk about what it means to live inside a body that doesn’t always cooperate.

Because sometimes healing is peaceful.

And sometimes it’s… unhinged.
