My Experience
During my 20 years with Hashimoto’s Thyroid, I acquired knowledge and experience in navigating thyroid medications, dosage levels, reading & interpreting lab tests and implementing a healing diet plan to reduce symptoms and heal the gut.
I understand the time, energy and emotional aspect that goes into making these types of necessary (and at times difficult) lifestyle changes. I also studied the gut microbiome, specifically SIBO and Candida, which were underlying factors in healing my gut and reducing Hashimoto’s symptoms. Read more about My Story.
I believe in continually learning new ideas and recipes for healing and keep myself up to date on new health trends. View my favorite books on Thyroid, Gut Health & Mindfulness in the Shop.
With my experience of living with autoimmune disease and struggling in the conventional medicine world, I realized how important it is to bring nutrition and holistic health to those who are dealing with chronic illness and digestive issues.
The Mindful Thyroid Create Your Healthy Life Blog & Health Coaching Program is designed to educate, inspire and nourish other women with thyroid and digestive concerns.
