Her antibodies were high, her gut was off and surgery was on the table. So she started asking what was really driving her symptoms.
Alexandria was told she had the antibodies for both Graves’ and Hashimoto’s in 2017 and initially followed conventional advice, including methimazole.

This health audit traces the progress she’s made with dietary changes, gut support, and lifestyle shifts and the imminent questions as she prepares for a future pregnancy. We discuss why her antibody levels dropped, where she’s still seeing symptoms, and what steps might help her move forward without fully relying on medication.
