Episode 36 - Hashimoto's, Thyroid Disease and Perimenopause

In this episode Nicole shares her journey with Hashimoto’s Disease and Thyroid Disease.  She shares how important an ultrasound of her thyroid was to getting an accurate diagnosis, in addition to bloodwork.  Once diagnosed, Nicole touches on the different medications that have been prescribed to her over the years and which ones worked best for her.  In addition to going over the symptoms of thyroid disease, she also covers the symptoms / signs of perimenopause, which hit her shortly after she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and Thyroid Disease.  Nicole shares the adjustments she made in her diet to bring down inflammation, which included going gluten-free and significantly cutting alcohol out of her life.  Additionally, she covers specific examples of some of the meals she eats throughout the day, her exercise routine, stress management tools and supplements she takes daily.  She reflects on the reasons she got a hysterectomy at the age of 49 and how hormone replacement therapy has been life changing for her.  She also focuses on how the weight of stress women carry in their daily lives can significantly contribute to triggering an autoimmune disease, as well as the importance of self-care and prioritizing oneself.  Nicole hopes that sharing her experience and what she learned along the way will be a helpful resource for people, especially women, who may be struggling with they symptoms of an autoimmune disease or perimenopause, or as in her case, both.
