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. I spent 3 days last weekend listening to top experts in the country talk about the connection between your microbiome and your immune system and what it takes to ensure that the connection is [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
Stress is not serving you. Hmm, did that statement register with you ladies? Stress is not serving you!! I have written many blogs on stress and the science of stress. You can find those here and here and here and here. But I don’t want to dive into the details of stress here. This is going to be [...]
I write a short contribution on health to a local magazine where I live. I did tell you where I live is the sweet spot of the universe didn’t I. Ya it is. I live in the foothills at the base of Pikes Peak in the Rocky Mountains. It’s beautiful. Anyway, back to the magazine. This [...]
Truer words were never said. Keep Calm and Trust the Process. I do get asked quite often how long it is going to take for the healing process. To give you a definitive answer would mean that I’m lying to you. The best answer that I have is “I don’t know”. Everyone is [...]
