Episode Summary

Autoimmune diseases are continuing to rise, yet misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment for autoimmune diseases are as common as ever. It takes passionate functional health providers who care to spread the knowledge around these diseases and provide tools and solutions that you can implement today to start feeling better. On this episode, I am getting real about my own personal Hashimoto’s thyroiditis diagnosis that I received in the middle of writing my last book, how it impacted my mindset around my health journey and sharing ways that I took back control of my body so that you can too.

If you suspect your thyroid may be malfunctioning, the first step is to empower yourself with the right tests to check for autoimmune markers. Cold feet and hands, indigestion, fatigue, brain fog, swelling, and other symptoms could be the result of a compromised thyroid, and an anti-inflammatory hormone rescue program is your best hope for healing. By working with a functional practitioner and getting to the root causes of your autoimmune disease, you can turn your diagnosis around and heal yourself naturally.

The first steps to figuring out if your thyroid is at peak capacity are to know your numbers, clear your hidden infections and get your gut back on track. If you are willing to put in the work, you can use food and supplements to support your stress and improve your autoimmune conditions. There are resources and tools out there to help get you back to a place of feeling great, and sometimes the journey starts with just a simple conversation.
