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 get asked this question a lot. Is a Vegan diet a good diet for healing from Hashimoto’s? First, let’s talk about what a vegan diet can be good for. If you are eating a Vegan diet you are removing any animal food products, eggs, and dairy from your diet. Some people even remove honey from [...]
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 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 [...]
