Two Big Announcements

I have two happy announcements to share with you!

First – you may have already seen this one… my new book, IBS: Finding and Treating the Root Cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, officially launches on March 17th! 🎉

This book has been 10+ years in the making, and I poured my heart into it. You’ll learn how to uncover your root causes, support your gut, and finally calm those unpredictable symptoms. Most importantly, it shows why healing your gut is the key to healing Hashimoto’s – something I’ve seen time and again in my own life and in the thousands of people I’ve worked with.

Symptoms like those seen in IBS often appear 5-15 years before an autoimmune diagnosis, and by addressing gut health and intestinal permeability early, we can support a foundational step in healing and managing autoimmune diseases. (Though please know, it’s never too late to work on healing your gut!)

I wanted to share something very special and personal – our family is about to grow! I’m expecting a baby any day now, and I couldn’t be more grateful for this new chapter.

This baby has also been a few years in the making, and getting pregnant in my 40s with Hashimoto’s and premature ovarian insufficiency has not been easy.

We’re welcoming our new baby any day now, and I’ll be taking some time off to focus on recovery, bonding, and soaking in these early moments together.

This season feels incredibly tender. It’s been a time to slow down, rest, and be fully present for both our newest little one and for Dimitry, who’s so proud (and a little nervous!) to become a big brother. Watching him prepare – asking questions, picking out tiny outfits, and practicing gentle hugs – has been such a beautiful reminder of how love expands us.

While I’m away, my team will keep sharing resources on gut health, thyroid healing, and hormone balance, and I’ll be back once our family has found its new rhythm – inspired and excited to share more about this next chapter of healing, growth, and motherhood.

Thank you for all of your love, encouragement, and patience. I feel so blessed to have such a thoughtful, compassionate community walking alongside me through every season of life.

Staying in Touch…

Most of the emails and articles I send are focused on thyroid health, but I will also send select emails on gut health because the two are so intertwined, and gut health is always relevant for autoimmune thyroid illness.

Many of you have asked me to share more about my fertility journey, and I’m excited to do so when the time is right. I’ll also be sharing more about children’s health and other important topics, including mental health, in future podcast episodes! That way, you can learn from my experience, as well as some of my colleagues.

My team is putting the finishing touches on new articles and podcast episodes, so you can keep enjoying all the informative content on thyroid health, gut healing, and so much more.
