“What can you tell me about Hypothyroidism?”
… and he said…
“If you are hypothyroid, they’ll put you on thyroid hormones for the rest of your life…”
… and for some reason, I just didn’t want to believe that…
Not the take hormones part…
… but the “for the rest of your life” part…
Hypothyroidism is rough!
I desperately wanted my normal life back…
… so I started to research and wanted to figure out why I was going through this…
What was the cause?
Found so much conflicting information online…
I picked up the book Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and treating the root cause by Dr Izabella Wentz…
… and I also signed up to watched her documentary “the thyroid secret“[/text_block]
I started meeting people who are hypothyroid because they’ve had their thyroid removed (total thyroidectomy)…
Others had low vitamin D…
Some had high TSH…
High cortisol…
… and even some with high cholesterol…
Different issues needing different solutions… except for one that seems to be shared in common… I’ll talk about this later…
Once I started to understand my root cause, I started finding the right solutions for me…
I started to understand what I needed to do to get my energy back and start losing weight again…
#1 I knew that I needed to make sure my body was producing thyroid hormone…
This is where the journey began… This is one of the first things I did that helped me get my energy back…[/text_block]
