What’s new everyone? It has been a crazy amount of time since I have written a blog. Why did I stop writing? I stopped because life got a little crazy and I didn’t feel that I was making an impact. I want to make sure what I’m sharing is relevant. When I do have things to share, I [...]
I found this art several years ago. I don’t know where. Probably some craft or art show. I loved it when I saw it and I still do. Most of you probably don’t know that I really am from “Up North”. Two and a half hours north of Minnesota for all of the Americans. For the Canadians, it [...]
Struggling with Hashi’s has its challenges. And the level of symptoms is really going to depend on what you are willing to tackle to improve the way you are living with Hashimoto’s. But sometimes, despite doing everything right, the layers of Hashimoto’s will bite you in the ass. As I lay [...]
I had a person ask me if discussing this week’s blog was uncomfortable for me. The whole “Shhhhh!!” thing. You know, your vaginal health. And the reality is that a year ago I might have said “Yeah!”. But not anymore! As an older woman, that is post-menopausaul [...]
I love it when I get to learn new things particularly when it comes to the microbiome and immune system.

Do you have a Hashimoto’s Morning routine? I thought it might be good to start sharing some of the routines that I do to help my body be at it’s best as much as possible. My morning routine is the place to start. Let’s talk weekdays. I am definitely not a morning person and [...]
How often do you think of what you need for self-care as a woman with Hashimoto’s? I think it is time to start thinking about that. I mean, 2020 has been a little bitch. We have been so caught up in the world, Covid, the politics and it has done us no favors. We haven’t had our [...]
I have been sitting in our FDN conference for the past 3 days. Well, actually double timing it with another conference. They overlapped and there was so much to learn in both. But the topic of emotional eating came up and I was intrigued. I know. Have I learned my lesson? Oh yes!!! I [...]
I wrote to you a couple of weeks ago about the autoimmune storm I was in. The picture above was taken this past weekend. Clearly, I have moved beyond the storm. I thought I might share a day in my life with Hashimoto’s. I have learned over time what my body needs. Whether or not I’m in [...]
Apologies for missing last week. First time in over 3 years, I think. That is a lot of blogs. I can’t actually believe I have that much to say. I was resting and based on my very obvious type A personality it was not easy for me. I am having to learn it’s ok to rest. I’m telling you my story [...]
