Have you ever started a new exercise routine in a new gym and felt super uncomfortable? Maybe you don't feel like you belong, or you aren't sure where to start, and you are all by yourself. But, while part of hitting your goals, is getting started it's important to find something you love. It's a matter of finding what works best for you. As women we are drawn to a sense of community. Which is why all of these boutique gyms or fitness centers are popping up and doing really well. It's a great way to feel comfortable, get in a good workout, and really find a sense of community. In this episode I dive more into finding this connection and what might be best for you.

Alex (M.D.) and Megan (Health Coach & Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner) work with pre-menopausal women in an online group format. They focus on balancing hormones and supporting detoxification by teaching women to use the phases of their menstrual cycles to their advantage. The natural ebb and flow that happens to our hormones, organ systems, and bodies overall as women is there to renew and strengthen us. When we work with the natural cycles of our bodies, we allow ourselves to heal and recover on a level that few of us ever reach when we operate within the "rules" of the hectic modern world. Even the alternative medicine world has lost its connection to how the female body operates. Most protocols and health programs out there show no regard for the cycles that govern the flow of our bodies as women. By focusing on different activities, elixirs, foods and rituals each week of your cycle we can help the body to detoxify naturally.

Ginny Mahar, founder of Hypothyroid Chef, and Danna Bowman, founder of Thyroid Nation, are two of those women, and they were brought together by the lack of resources and community available to women diagnosed with thyroid disease. Adjusting to a new lifestyle, and particularly a new diet, can be challenging - especially when you're a Cordon Bleu-trained chef and cooking instructor like Ginny or a Zumba instructor with an active lifestyle, like Danna. From joint pain to a lack of energy and brain fog, both women had experienced the power diet and lifestyle changes could have on their overall health and well-being. From that conversation, THYROID30 was born, a 30-day wellness adventure for thyroid patients. This first-of-its-kind program is designed to empower and support those looking to implement thyroid-specific diet and lifestyle changes, providing much-needed tools for patients and practitioners alike.
