I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s over 15 years ago, but it took years of strange symptoms and many diagnoses to get there. My energy was constantly low, I was bloated all the time, and my blood sugar would crash, leaving me starving and exhausted. I had deep cystic acne that itched, lasting for months.I suffered from heart palpitations and digestive issues, that I couldn’t make sense of. I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy, but everything came back “normal.”

Eventually, an ultrasound revealed a goiter and damage to my thyroid—what my endocrinologist described as “moth-eaten.” He said we’d have to wait for it to die so he could remove it and manage things with medication. But when I tried meds, I felt like I’d jump out of my skin. He wasn’t open to alternatives, and surgery felt like a dead end.

I felt miserable—lost in my body, anxious, and alone. I was high-functioning at work, but couldn’t commit to anything else. Some days, I worked from bed just to get through. I started exploring natural alternatives, but many of the approaches were overwhelming and rigid. I needed support–someone to listen, walk with  me, and not just give me rules.

Slowly, I began experimenting, and I learned how to eat in a way that supported my body. The right supplements, stress management, better sleep, gentle movement, and detoxing my environment—it all added up. Finally, my endocrinologist dismissed me as a patient because I was doing so well. Follow-up testing has confirmed I’m in remission. I no longer suffer from deep fatigue and my skin is clear. I have the energy, confidence, and the tools I need to keep showing up as the healthiest version of myself. Tools I can teach you, in a way that works for you and your body’s needs. You don’t have to do this alone!
