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 a storm or hiking in the mountains is completely dependent on my ability or my choice to give
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 so that you can learn from my stubborn nature and hopefully avoid regression and
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 short. I just want to give you a few stats on stress and women. Women have 50%
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 time, the theme of the magazine is Imagine. I thought this might be a good topic for the blog
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 different When you have met one woman with Hashimoto’s, you have met one woman with Hashimoto’s. Each woman will have a different
I remember early on in my business meeting with a woman and her spouse. It was heart breaking because it was a very extreme example of a woman not getting the support she needed from a spouse. But it is also very common. Why is getting the support you need with Hashi’s so hard? It is not a complicated answer. It is quite simple actually. You don’t look sick. It isn’t outwardly evident that you
Could you actually have a better life with Hashi’s? I say yes. Because sometimes, when things are falling apart, they are actually falling into place. How could I say such a thing? How can I not? My life is infinitely better because of my Hashimoto’s. I used to take my life for granted. I used and abused my body. I was an exercise fiend. I ate shit. Strong word but it’s true. I lived off
I wonder if you have asked yourself that question. Who will you be when you tackle your Hashimoto’s? Maybe you haven’t thought about it because you have been in the medical community for years with little to no results. Maybe you don’t believe healing is possible? You have been so lost in the weeds for years, focusing minute by minute on just how to get through the day that you have no idea what is
The answer to the question is No. You don’t have to be fearless to heal from Hashimoto’s? It’s hard believing that healing doesn’t require you to be fearless because how else can you get back your energy and quality of life without climbing mountains and conquering unbelievable feats. I mean, if the doctors can’t solve it for you, the women that have healed must have done something incredible to take their lives back. I think
