You’ve probably heard the term brain fog. Is it a real thing? Oh ya!!! If you have Hashi’s, it is one of your top three frustrations. Second to energy and weight. It’s kind of like everything else with Hashi’s. It comes on slowly. Love that about it don’t you? Makes you feel [...]
How many of you with Hashi’s or Hypothyroidism feel this way? I know. It feels like nothing that you do or try makes an impact at all. And the weight continues to rise. As women, this does absolutely nothing for our self-esteem because what we are seeing in the mirror everyday is an image [...]
