Tired of being the healthiest sick person you know?

Maybe you’re new to navigating your own Hashimoto’s journey… you’re exhausted, frustrated, anxious, constipated, can’t sleep, freezing cold (you know the endless symptoms list)!

You don’t feel well, and you know there’s got to be more to healing this condition, but you don’t know where to start.
Or maybe you’ve been at this for awhile… tried all the supplements, diets, therapies, and you’re STILL SICK.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in good company because I’ve been in both places, and walked a similar path. But I wasn’t willing to let my thyroid burn out and feel awful the rest of my life, and you don’t have to either.

That’s why I used my pharmacist brain to research how to heal the thyroid, and turned myself into a human guinea pig to crack the code and get into remission.

It took me years to heal, and what I uncovered and have spent the last decade perfecting, I now share with you so that you can heal much faster and reduce symptoms quickly!

My books and guides are the compilation of my brain working on overdrive to find the best and most effective solutions on the market to heal autoimmune thyroid disease.

I give my readers the exact blueprint they need to get better. Thousands of people have gotten rid of symptoms, and many have put their conditions into remission.

This can be your story too.

    I had thyroid cancer and taking Levothyroxine. I also have Kidney Disease stage 4 close to stage 5. I feel my thyroid issues is making my kidney disease worse and all I get is we are watching you. Watching my efgr go down to start dialysis! I’m trying to avoid dialysis doing a plant base diet but the Drs tell me to eat animal protein and gain weight. Can you help me or guide me in the right direction? Thank You 😊

      Sandi – thank you for reaching out and sharing your journey. I’m so sorry to hear you are struggling with all of this. ❤️ I recommend doing your own research and sharing your concerns and information with your practitioner if they are open to listening. I also suggest that you join one of the Hashimoto’s/Thyroid disease groups that are out there. Being able to share ideas of what has worked with one another and offer support for each other can be very helpful.

      I believe that everyone needs to find a practitioner that will let them be a part of the healthcare team. You want someone that can guide you, that will also listen to you and your concerns. You want someone that’s open to thinking outside of the box and who understands that you may not fit in with the standard of care. It’s a good idea to ask some standard questions when contacting a new doctor for the first time. Something else to consider is you can work with a functional doctor remotely, via Skype. You could also contact your local pharmacist or compounding pharmacy, who may be able to point you to a local doctor who has a natural functional approach. But I encourage you to keep looking for the right one for you! Here are some resources you might find helpful.

        Jeannie – thank you for reaching out.❤️I’m so sorry you are struggling. Hashimoto’s is often a combination of food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies, adrenal issues, gut issues as well as an impaired ability to get rid of toxins. Any of those things would prevent a person from getting better. Hashimoto’s is very much an individual condition. While there are root cause commonalities, each person will have their own or in some cases, more than one root cause. You will have to start with the simplest modifications, by removing triggers, followed by repairing the other broken systems to restore equilibrium, allowing the body to rebuild itself. You will need to dig down to why the immune system is imbalanced in the first place and this will tell you how you begin to finally feel better, reduce your thyroid antibodies and even take your condition into remission.

        You will have to create your own health timeline. Look back at your overall history as far back as you can remember. Look for infections, periods of severe stress, the use of medications (especially antibiotics, antacids, and oral contraceptives), accidents, and exposure to toxins. These are events that may have contributed to Hashimoto’s. Once you do, you will know what types of changes you need to implement to make yourself feel better.

        If you need further support, please check out the list of lab tests inside the “Testing” chapter of my book, Hashimoto’s Root Cause. I also offer a 12-week program, Hashimoto’s Self Management Program. Here are some resources I hope you find helpful as well. ❤️

    My daughter (age 15) was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s at age 11 & 1/2 and has been on levothyroxine since that time. While I don’t have a specific question we have done nothing for treatment besides medication. I wonder if she feels as well as she could since her sense of “normal” has been affected by Hashimoto’s from such a young age. Do you have experience and resources focused on children and teens?

    Thank you! I’ve purchased the Hashimotos protocol, the root cause and your cook book. I’ve found your information to be invaluable.
    I’m now going to begin taking NAC.
    I’ve been taking metagenics thyro balance formula, vitamin c and magnesium.
    I’ve yet to engage with a like minded doctor who supports natural therapies..so I’m booking to consult with a naturopath who specialises in thyroid issues. I’ve advanced osteoporosis and recurring kidney stones which are no longer a problem.
    I will post on your fb page on my journey with NAC.
    Kind regards

    I am taking levothyroxine o.125mcgs. I have been on different levels of levothyrox for years. It works well. I want to switch to a natural, thyroid. I have contacted two compound pharmacies for info. One suggested Armour, made from porcine. Can my MD subscribe or could you give suggestions to move forward which would be helpful? It is a moral issue. I do not want to use meds derived initially from a fetal cell line. Thank you. Your help now and in the past has been helpful. I am healthy and have no medical problems.

    Reading the posted questions,every answer is another article to read, I have macular degeneration- so have limited daily reading ability. It is problematic for me that some pages are repeatedly re booted. Your story of how you ended up on this journey is important and interesting but tonite alone has crossed my screen no less than 5 times. Anyway to “ mark” already read pages so that they are not loaded again and again??

    Good evening,
    I recently retired an email about thiamine deficiency and fatigue. Have you had any experience with Hashimotos fatigue and Covid fatigue? Do you think thiamine would work for both?

    Thank you

    I have had a low thyroid for a long
    time.I can not remember how long
    so about 15 years now my doctor is saying it is high for what the dosage he is giving me. He is trying his best to see what is going on. I don’t understand how it can go from low to high.When I see him I will ask to see the labs..

      Debbie – thank you for following! ❤️ People with Hashimoto’s may experience BOTH hypothyroid and hyperthyroid symptoms because as the thyroid cells are destroyed, stored hormones are released into the circulation causing a toxic level of thyroid hormone in the body, also known as thyrotoxicosis or Hashitoxicosis. Eventually, the stored thyroid may become depleted and due to thyroid cell damage, the person is no longer able to produce enough hormones. At this time, hypothyroidism develops.

    I’m just starting my Hashimoto journey….sort off. When my father was sick and we found out he had cancer, I broke out in an unexplained rash that would not go away. Then I started a new job and the rash came back ( I went to my PCP, dermatologist then an allergist who drew my thyroid antibodies. The allergist told me eventually I will need thyroid meds. Well 16yrs forward..broke out in unexplained rash and ask for antibodies level. TPO 937. I will see my PCP Wednesday and I am taking your book with me. I have been gluten free, dairy fee, soy free and caffeine free for one week and I feel better already. I am hoping she will prescribe armour thyroid and low dose naltrexone for me🙏 Thank you for everything you have done. Dawn

    Sorry for the miss spelling. Auto correct has a mind of its own. I have been studying the mutations that can cause all types of conditions. Which leads me to believe the leaky gut caused by these foods let’s candida run rampant. Whats your thoughts please

    Now there is another issue. My Dr. calls it “long Covid”. He is in the process of trying to find the problem, as to whether it is adrenal fatigue or something else, as the virus changes things in your body. Heaven help us all! Now we have to repeat the tests all over again in an effort to find out how each one of us is affected. Hair falling out, sleep problems, and other symptoms, after initially straightening out out bodies. This is quite common from what I understand.

      Elle – thank you for sharing your journey. I’m so sorry you are struggling with this. ❤️ Everyone is different when it comes to viruses, we do know that viruses in general, can definitely trigger Hashimoto’s. We know that EBV can be reactivated with the Covid virus and that’s also going to potentially contribute to an increase in antibodies. I am happy to hear you have a practitioner to help and they are retesting, please keep me posted on your progress.

    First, I absolutely love your books and supplements. I am taking my health back because of you. I felt more supported by reading you cookbook and protocol book in a weekend that I have with months of doctors appointments.

    Question though… I am trying to make coconut yogurt and it has a wonderful flavor but it comes out Super thick. Not the texture that it should be. Do you have any advice to thin it out? Less gelatin maybe or incubate too long? I’ve tried adding more water initially and use a high speed blender to make it smooth. I will continue to experiment but excited to finally figure it out.

    Izabella,
    I have been on Levothyroxine for several years, all my doctor does is check my TSH number yearly, I have several symptoms that they ignore which keeps getting worse.
    You have talked about finding a doctor that will listen and not say well you are getting older and so on. A friend just told me about you so I have been watching your videos and find them extremely helpful, how do I find a doctor that will take my symptoms serious and listen to me? Do you see patients?

    Hi Isabella! I was diagnosed with Hashimotos, then thyroid cancer… Then Lupus and arthritis back in 2018. I’ve since had my thyroid removed because of the cancer. My mom and sister have the same! I have 4 daughters so needless to say I will be on top of this! Well, my older two are around puberty age, one of them tested positive for hashimotos antibodies.

    Of course the conventional doctor is hesitant to test for these things, but I was persistent because of my history. Her antibodies were 205.

    I was wondering if you would recommend anything different for children? She is 10 almost 11 years old and has not hit puberty yet. She does have some gut issues I believe and mood changes.

    Thank you so much!

      Shannon – thank you for reaching out and sharing your journey. My heart goes out to you and your daughters. ❤️ In the case of autoimmune thyroid disease, removing the thyroid with a thyroidectomy eliminates thyroid antibodies, as there is nothing left to attack. However, life is not always roses with a thyroidectomy, as it does not remove the autoimmunity. If you’ve already had a thyroidectomy, in addition to making sure your thyroid medications are optimized (you will need them for life, there’s no shame in that, and you want to make sure that you are getting the optimal thyroid medications for you!), I also encourage you to take on lifestyle changes and functional medicine, to ensure that the underlying triggers that led to the development of your condition don’t lead to another autoimmune condition. We need to rebalance the immune system to prevent this. Sometimes the autoimmunity can be reversed as well! The gut determines your immune system. With the exception of discussing proper thyroid medication dosing, the majority of my website and my book focuses on balancing the immune system. The info I present is based on my own research and journey for overcoming my autoimmune thyroid condition. As for children, teens, (and adults), I always recommend starting with the diet. Are they gluten, dairy, corn and soy free? Are they eating a nutrient dense diet with fermented foods? Implementing those changes can help many symptoms. Most of the interventions recommended in my book can be done with children, with the exception of the dosing of supplements. I do suggest that you work with a functional medicine doctor that is familiar in working with children. Here are a couple articles you might find interesting:
