This is episode 88. My hypothyroidism is back and I'm ready to talk about it. Welcome back to the thriving thyroid podcast, where we choose to become empowered patients and take our health into our own hands. Hi, I'm Shannon Hansen, a Christian entrepreneur, a mom of three. And after dealing with my own health mysteries, I made it my mission to learn everything I could about the thyroid. I soon became certified as a holistic wellness practitioner, a functional nutrition practitioner and a functional diagnostic practitioner. And so much more. After that, I founded the revolutionary thyroid program, the Hanon method as a health professional and a mom. I fully understand the importance of having a fun, simple, and sustainable plan for achieving a responsive thyroid. So I share actionable and practical strategies for developing a responsive thyroid so that the ambitious moms and women can gain freedom from fatigue and lose the thyroid weight once. And for all each week, I will be here for you along with my guest experts, we will be sharing simple and tangible tips that work for not only your thyroid, your hormones, your family, and your mindset, so that you can get back to living the life that you envision for yourself. Welcome to the thriving thyroid podcast.

(01:29):

All right, welcome back. You guys. Oh, I am on a bit of a vulnerability hangover. So if you follow me on Instagram, thriving thyroid, I yesterday recently shared an Instagram story where I talked about I out, I am currently in a place of feeling very loved and very supported. And I don't think that most people know that you could be this happy. So we recently, my husband and I recently celebrated our 13 year anniversary for some of you guys. Yes, we are babies. And for others of you, we, we got married super young. I was 20, he was 21. I got pregnant with my first, very soon after that, I had her right before my 22nd birthday. And we've had ups and downs, I think like most people, but I grew up in a home with a lot of trauma, a lot of uncertainty, a lot of instability.

(02:42):

And there was a lot of ups and downs. And I did not realize you could be happy that happiness is a choice. I was told things like, well, what could go wrong is gonna go wrong? You know, my dad was quoting Murphy's law and I grew up with a lot of false beliefs around. If something good happens, something equally as bad or worse has to happen. And so I was constantly for the first, I don't know, 10 years, 11 years of our marriage looking for the bad I was looking for the drama. And my husband always laughed at me for the first several years because it was like every springtime. I was like, Hey, let's buy a new house. Hey, let's, you know, look at what the market is doing. We should look at new houses and he is like, why our house is great.

(03:39):

And our house was great, but I was always trying to create something in my life. Okay. Hopefully, hopefully some of you guys can relate to that. And I've told this story many times before, but this was such a pivotal moment for me, where my husband was like, we were having a disagreement. I wouldn't even say arguing, we're sitting on the bed, we're not yelling and screaming. And I was just like, if you, if you, you need to, you know, kind of digging into him after work. And he just looked at me one day and was like, will you ever be happy? And of course my stubborn self, I was like, well, of course not, I'm never gonna be happy. But really that was a pivotal moment in my life where I set on a mission to change my life, to find happiness, to find joy, because my happiness, my joy is not related to my husband.

(04:45):

My happiness and joy is not related to my kids or the house that I live in or the car that I drive or any of these external factors, joy and happiness comes from within. And it took me a freaking long time. to find the joy. It took me a long time to feel happy and it didn't happen overnight. And it didn't change instantaneously by reading one book, I have to do the work every single freaking day to get up and make a decision to be happy. And here's where the vulnerability comes in. Okay. I, I hate even saying this, cuz I'm like, this is public for the whole world to see and hear and you know, do what they want with this. And so hopefully you guys know that this is coming from a place of love. And I thought we were done having kids.

(05:53):

My husband thought we were done having kids. We were very happy with our three little girls and they were pretty close to perfect life was good. We had just built our new dream home. You know, all of these things are starting to take place and I find myself pregnant and I was like, what is going on? right. I question, God, I question God, because I didn't understand his timing here. I was trying to build a business. I have a multiyear business. So I feel like I'm pretty successful, but I'm also building, I'm still builder things in my business that I'm learning every day. I'm learning how to work with clients. I'm learning how to be more proficient in reading testing, I'm taking new classes, I'm hiring coaches. I am still in this building process and things are kind of bumpy, you know?

(06:57):

And so here I am finding myself pregnant and I know what kind of mom I am and I know what kind of mom I want to be. And I want to be an actively engaged mom in my kids' life. And that my older kids, I felt like they were pretty self-sufficient if they needed me, they could come into the office and they could, you know, Hey mom, I need this or Hey, can we do that or whatever. And you'll see 'em in my Facebook lives and Instagram stories and all the things, cuz they're very much a part of my life. And you will hear them in multiple podcast episodes, right? Like that is nothing new. hopefully nothing new to any of you guys. And so knowing that and knowing, oh my gosh, I'm gonna have this little baby who is going to need me and is going to be dependent upon me.

(07:44):

I had no clue how I was gonna do it. So that aside, I also knew that after baby number three, that is when my thyroid, my hormones like fell apart. Like there were hormonal issues prior to that. So that was nothing new, but I felt like they were minor. Okay. After baby number three, I'm like six months, nine months postpartum. I'm still at my birth weight. And I'm like, okay, that was my first clue. I couldn't lose weight. I'm still at like 190 pounds. I delivered her at like, I think just under 200. So I, I mean literally like I hadn't lost any weight. I'm puffy, I'm inflamed. I'm tired. I look back at pictures and I don't even recognize myself. Right? Like I'm just kind of a hot mess and my hair is falling out. And that was what led to the conversation with my mom of like, I just don't feel good.

(08:47):

I don't know what's wrong with me. And my mom's like, Hey, you should go get your thyroid checked. And I was like, haha, you're funny because I was a practitioner and I thought I knew everything. Apparently I didn't. And my husband will tell you when it comes to myself, I forget what I know but so here I was also going into the pregnancy with that trauma and that fear of, oh my gosh, this is gonna happen all over again. How am I gonna do this? How am I gonna run a business now? How am I gonna have kids? How am I gonna, how am I, how am I, how am I, how am I, how am I all of those? How am I ? And that was really emotionally draining. And I've kind of found myself back in the same situation as before. So here I am four months postpartum.

(09:38):

Haven't really lost weight. My thyroid hormones are crazy out of balance. And I found myself wallowing in the pity mentally, right about how I look, how my clothes fit. Like let's be honest. None of my clothes are fitting except for my yoga pants. And even when I like walked past the full length mirror, I'm like, oh, that doesn't look very good. And not because it doesn't look good. And if it was a friend, I'd be like, Hey, you look amazing. But because it doesn't look good because it's not my normal, it's not to the standard that I feel like I am worth. Right. And hopefully that's coming across right. But I know better. I know I should be caring for my body better. And I have recently come to the conclusion that I, I was kind of reminded of this, that it's important for me to turn this me mess.

(10:43):

I'm using air quotes, this mess that I have into my message once again. And it has brought me kind of full circle and back to this is why I started the Hansen method. This is why I started coaching and working with women online was because I knew there were, and there are women like you who don't feel good in their body. They don't feel like themselves, their hair is falling out. They're puffy, they're inflamed. They walk past the mirror and they're like, I don't even know that person. Or they look at into the camera, you know, selfies or whatever. And you're like, wow, that double chin looks really nice. you know, all of these uncomfortable things that we as women are dealing with, this is why I'm doing what I'm doing, because I know there is a flip side. Yes, I know it's gonna take my body a little bit of time to get my hormones balanced and things to get back into working order.

(11:42):

But I also know how to do it. I know what steps need to take place. I know what triggers I have. with my thyroid. And some of them are hard. I have found myself like I don't really wanna give up my doctor pepper. You know, I don't really want to do this because when I got sick last year, my taste, my not my smell, my taste changed. And I found myself not liking water. And it, it was very hard for me to drink water. Even though though I know all the benefits, I know what to be doing. And I've had to retrain myself into some of these things and being sick and being pregnant was it became more of like, I just have to survive. I just have to get food in my body that is going to keep me and baby moving. And so that meant eating things and doing things that I don't quote unquote normally do because of the situation because of the circumstances.

(12:52):

And that's kind of the beautiful thing about all of this is now I have the opportunity to get back into the driver's seat of all of this and go back into implementing all of the techniques that I am using and teaching, or I did use inside the handsome method and what I am currently teaching all of my clients to do. And this has resulted in tremendous amount of success for our clients so much so that women are getting off medication with the help of their doctor. I don't take them off medication. Let's be very clear there, but their thyroid hormones are balancing out to the point where they don't. Their body is responding to the thyroid hormone. Okay. Hormones, plural women are losing 30 pounds in 10 weeks or so where they have hit plateaus and they've been struggling to lose weight that we've had women be able to get off other medications, anxiety, medications, depression, medications, they've been able to regain their energy.

(14:06):

Their hair is stopping, stopping, falling out, stop falling out. Women are balancing their hormones where they're not having painful heavy periods anymore. There are or GI issues. We didn't even talk about GI issues. So they're not gassy. They're not bloated. They're not constipated. They're not backed up. They're body is fully working and operating. They might be experiencing 5%, 10% of their thyroid issues, but 80 to 90% of them have gone away in a very short period of time. Now, the reminder that I have to give all of my clients and even myself, is it didn't take overnight to get where you're at. And it, we cannot expect that it's going to fix itself magically in two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, even, even two months, it's going to take time. And this is why we, I, we, my team and I have extended the program for six months.

(15:11):

So it, instead of it being four months, it is now six months because a majority of our clients have gone through everything in four months and had life changing things. Now, every once in a while, there is a case or a situation where somebody gets sick or something happens with their loved one or I mean life, right life in general. And they need a little bit more time to go through the program or maybe the results aren't coming as quickly as I think, or my practitioners think or the client things. And so that extra two months is total six months gives us that little bit of buffer, right? A little bit of time to implement things that may be harder for us, for some of our clients they're they don't drink at water hardly at all in their drinking Coke or Dr. Pepper or whatever it is.

(16:10):

And so retraining those habits to maybe give up the Dr. Pepper and not have it every single day is that may take longer versus somebody who's coming in and drinking a gallon of water, right? That person drinking a gallon of water, no big deal. Okay. We can go on to the next thing, right? Or there there's so many variables. And because I am going through this and because I am having all of the feelings coming back, I have fully recommitted myself to my mission and my purpose of empowering women, helping them balance out their thyroid hormones, helping them become an empowered patient in talking to their doctor, talking to their physician, advocating for themselves, knowing what rights and what options they have, because it is their body. It is not my body, right? It's it is your body. If you come to me and say, Hey, Shannon, this symptom that I'm having is not normal for me.

(17:17):

We are going to dig into it. And we are going to figure out why that is happening, because I believe every symptom is a sign or a clue as to a deeper issue. So sometimes we have one, I'll give you an example. So I had a client like two years ago, this was a long time ago and she fell down her porch steps and she hurt her back. And then a couple days later, she started having tooth pain. If I remember this correctly and it was a certain tooth and whatever. And we, I was like, I don't know. I have no clue why , you're having tooth pain. Anyways, when we did some investigation, we found out that that tooth is connected to the spine and connected to the alignment. And because there was so much extra inflammation in her spine, it was also manifesting inflammation in that specific tooth who would've thought.

(18:20):

Right? And so again, if you tell me something isn't normal, we're gonna look into it. I'm gonna talk to my other success, coaches. I, I may not have an answer and I am fully aware that I do not know everyone thing. this is why I continue to do coaching. I continue to do training. I continue to get certifications and improve myself because every little thing I can learn, I can bring to each one of you. Now I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on my personal education in functional nutrition, functional diagnostic, nutrition, holistic practitioner, homeopathy, herbal medicine, all of the different trainings that I have done. And I don't want you guys to have to do that. I want you to be able to skip all of the certifications and just get down to what works for you and for your body. And so you guys, I am super jazzed about this.

(19:27):

I am opening enrollment for the Hansen method in June. Okay. And I have bonuses that I have never done before. I do not plan to do them again. because I know I'm kind of gonna be losing money, but I'm okay with that because it is not about the money. It is more about my mission to help you as a client and helping you with the skills that I have skip over the mess, skip over the noise and really accelerate your level of healing and hormone balancing and all of the things. So here we go. First off, I am doing $500 off. Okay. That is a big one because I do not run sales. I do not run discounts. If we do any kind of quote unquote promotional thing, it is right before I increase my prices. Okay. So so I have never done that before.

(20:30):

We're taking $500 off of our program. I'm also going to be giving you guys a new mini course that I have I'm in the process of putting together. It will be done at when, when enrollment happens. But this is if you're what to do, if your labs are normal. So whether you're on medication or not, or trying to get a diagnosis, or you already have one, if your labs keep coming back normal, and your doctor is like, you are fine, I'm gonna be sharing with you what to do, how to handle that, all of those things. Okay. We are also doing functional testing. So when you come in, we're gonna be doing functional testing and without functional testing, we will be building out personalized and individualized protocols for you for the time that we are working together. And I'll be honest. Most of our clients have, depending on how fast their body responds and how compliant they are and all of these external factors that we just don't know, most of our clients have one to three different phases of their protocols while they work with us.

(21:43):

So phase one is kind of an anti-inflammatory type deal. We're looking at nutrition, we're looking at things that you need for your body. Okay. Then we move into the next phase. So if the next phase is GI stuff, if the next phase is hormonal stuff, is the next phase heavy metal detoxification, all of those different things are gonna be taking in, be taken into consideration as we build out phase two and phase three, okay. Because the body works in phases and it's like, we have to peel back all of the layers and, and stuff. So those with that testing, you get the individual protocol and then guess what it takes time to get the functional testing. Number one, done number two, sent into the lab and the lab to do its testing, and then to get me the report and then for me to review it and then to put together the protocols.

(22:41):

So all of that, we, we know that that takes time. We know that that takes three to four weeks to get into that habit. And so with that being said, we are going to give you a starter pack of supplements. These are supplements that we have been using for the last two years that are highly, highly, highly effective for women with Amos and hypothyroidism, because they are so balancing and nourishing to the body. And honestly, within like two weeks to two to four weeks, a lot of our clients experience massive results without even getting their customized protocol. Okay. So super exciting. And then the last bonus, and this is the big one, the Yu biggie, biggie biggie. I am going to be coaching you for an additional six months for free. Okay. So let's recap. You get to work with us for 12 months.

(23:50):

So an extra six months, four, $500 off our original price, plus the testing plus the supplements and that mini course, you guys, this is an incredible deal. Okay. We are going to be starting. The, the start date for this program is June 11th. Okay. It will, the enrollment will end at the end of that week because we want people to be starting at the same time so that you guys are working on the same things and we can support each other. And the other really cool thing is I'm gonna be going back through my own program and revisiting all of these things that I have lost. I don't even wanna say lost some of the things that I know I should be doing for my thyroid, that I'm not currently doing. And I am going to be sharing my journey with you inside the Hanon method.

(24:54):

I'm gonna be sharing what I'm eating. I'm gonna be sharing. You guys are gonna be kind of my accountability, but also so that you know that you're not alone, that your coaches are walking the walk and talking the talk and doing all of the things that we're telling you to do, because I know that it is that important. All right, you guys, if you are ready to take action, if you are ready to do this with me, if you are pumped up and excited, head over to the show notes, you can schedule a complimentary thyroid breakthrough call with one of our thyroid advisors, and we will review your case and your situation to see if you are a good fit to work with us inside the Hanon method. If you're like hands down, I know this is for me. You can also head over to the show notes and go ahead and purchase the program.

(25:45):

I do offer a two week money back a guarantee. So if for whatever reason you get in and you decide this isn't for you we will be refunding you the money minus the cost of any testing that you did or any supplements that we have sent you in, in the midst of that or any one-on-one services that we have provided for you. So now is the time take action, take control of your life. You guys, summer is a wonderful time to do that. And a lot of this can be done in summertime, okay. Even amongst the, the traveling and the busy schedules, we're gonna be, I'm gonna be sharing with you what I'm packing and what I'm doing for my vacations, for my road trips, all of that. Okay. So anyways, I'm super excited. Head over to the show notes. I will see you on the next
