Former HGTV star Jenn Todryk shares update on her Hashimoto’s disease 3 years after leaving show

Jenn Todryk has shared a health update with her fans three years after she left her HGTV show.

The interior decorator, 37, who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2014 and Hashimoto’s disease in 2017, hosted No Demo Reno, which aired from 2021 to 2023, with her husband, Mike Todryk.

She said in a video posted last week that her bloodwork from October 2025 revealed her antibodies number was at 5,000.

“It’s just measuring your body’s inflammation, and it’s the only marker that tells you [if] you have Hashimoto’s or not,” Todryk said Tuesday in an Instagram Story series. “The number is supposed to be zero.”

She added, “So, if you know someone that says, ‘I have Hashimoto’s,’ she literally could have an antibodies measure of 20 or 35. That could be considered Hashimoto’s. I have 5,000. So, not to brag, but I’m really bad. I have a very chronic case of Hashimoto’s.”

Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. The condition causes symptoms like fatigue, weight gain and sensitivity to cold.

Todryk said that her more recent antibody test had more positive results than the one in October, showing that her antibody count dropped from 5,000 to 257. She credited the improvement to cutting her supplement intake to just two products: a hormone pill called Armour Thyroid and a hormone supplement called Glow by Beam, which she co-created.

“I think what happened is around Christmas time, I lowered my Armour Thyroid a little bit naturally by myself, because I felt like I was maybe swinging into hyper[thyroidism], which happens with cellular Hashimoto’s,” she said in the video. “I think that, along with taking Glow every day, significantly helped.”

She added, “I still can’t believe it. I’ve never had a good result. So, it’s like, I don’t know how to describe it. It’s, like, something I dread doing. I’m constantly failing. I’m constantly getting bad news.”

The former TV host previously opened up about her Hashimoto’s diagnosis in a September episode of her podcast, You, Me & Mike, where she said she gets sick often and is constantly struggling with inflammation.

“It’s a part of my identity. It’s part of my every single day,” she told her husband and podcast co-host Mike Todryk at the time. “I think about me having Hashimoto’s every single day. There’s not a day that goes by where I don't remember that I have this thyroid autoimmune disorder.”

Todryk, a mom-of-three who is also known for sharing home renovation content with her two million followers on Instagram, ultimately decided to leave No Demo Reno so she could focus on spending time with her family.

The show saw Todryk work with clients in creating “beautiful renovations with no demolition required,” according to HGTV.

Last month, she shared an Instagram post reflecting on her decision to quit the series after three seasons. With a throwback picture of her on set with her daughter, she wrote, “I do think I chose to walk away at the perfect time. I didn’t want my kids to spend their childhood on a ‘set,’ I didn’t want their home and safe space to feel like a set or be at home while I was away.”
