  • Hashimotos Thyroiditis: It’s a Journey

        When I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, I immediately thought the doctors would have a handle on it and give me the right pill and I would live the rest of my life having control over this disease. Why do you think I thought this? Because I was told by my doctor…

  • Hashimotos Thyroiditis and Traveling on the GAPS Diet (GAPS series post)

    As most of you know, I have been attempting to help my Hashimotos Thyroiditis by following the GAPS Diet protocol.  I’ve been on the GAPS Diet for over a year now and the hardest stretch for me was a few months ago when I had to stay away from my gluten free kitchen and spend…

  • Hashimotos Thyroiditis and The Autoimmune Protocol Diet

    Doing a post on the autoimmune diet protocol for Hashimotos Thyroiditis has been on my mind for many months now. However, I wanted to wait until I was actually doing the protocol myself.

How could it be as simple…

Getting a battery of testing, preparing for a TRUE gluten free diet, and beginning to create an action plan are all good things, even if it did take many months to establish. I figure, I’ve lived this long with all…

  • Can Hashimotos Thyroiditis be Reversed?

    I can’t begin to tell you how much this post means to me after living with Hashimotos Thyroiditis for over 15 years! Now, before I attempt to answer this question, let me remind you that I am NOT a doctor and cannot give a definitive answer myself. But if you’ve ever wondered, “How Can I…

  • Hashimotos Thyroiditis and Properly Prepared Foods (Traditional Foods)

    One thing that I keep going back to as I make this journey through Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is that this disease is not much different than any other disease in that there undoubtedly is a root cause. Not many admit to that, but as I research natural remedies, one thing keeps coming up: diet is key.…

  • Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis – Is it YOUR fault? Oprah and Mary Shomon disagree

    The quest for the root cause of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is very dear to my heart. It HAS to be. I have suffered many years with this disease. That’s why I think I have the experience to post on this subject. Mary Shomon has been a patient advocate and a thyroid patient herself for many years…
