The Best Diet For Hashimoto’s
What is the right diet to heal Hashimoto’s? I hear this question a lot. Unfortunately, the answer isn’t always straight forward, as nutrition is the only science where multiple answers can be both correct and wrong. One (wo)man’s medicine can be another (wo)man’s poison.

Uncover Your Hashimoto’s Root Cause with an Elimination Diet

September 2016 Book Club
I’ve been a book lover and a lover of reading my entire life! It all started when I was a little girl. I had an insatiable appetite for fairy tales, and none of the adults in my family had the bandwidth to read me fairy tales all day (after all, they had other things to do!)

Do You Have to Be Wealthy to Overcome Hashimoto’s?
