Heather Rae El Moussa: On Her Hormones Battle, Past Trauma and Hashimotos Disease

Heather Rae El Moussa has spent years in the public eye—becoming a star on Selling Sunset and launching a successful beauty brand. But after giving birth to her son, Heather faced a new set of challenges: crashing energy, mood swings, and a worsening thyroid condition that left her feeling like she was dying. In this deeply personal episode, Heather joins Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen to share how motherhood reshaped her body, brain, and priorities. She opens up about being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, the toll stress and hormones took on her mental health, and why she turned to brain imaging to understand what was really going on inside. Find out what her brain reveals and what she’s doing to stay sharp, centered, and thriving. If you’ve ever felt off after a major life shift, this episode is a must-listen.
