In this inspiring and deeply honest episode, Priscilla sits down with Lori, a client in the Reclaim Inner Circle, where she receives 1:1 support following the thyroid framework. Lori shares her extraordinary 50-year journey with Hashimoto's and what finally shifted after decades of feeling dismissed, misunderstood, and left to "figure it out" alone.

Lori has lost 100 pounds—twice in her lifetime. But like so many women with thyroid and metabolic challenges, the weight loss never felt sustainable because the deeper issues were never addressed. Diets worked… until they didn't. Doctors listened… until her labs appeared "normal." Her symptoms were treated like mysteries instead of messages.

This is the story of what happens when a woman refuses to give up on her health—even after half a century of searching for answers.

Today, at 69 years old, Lori says she feels better now than she did in her 30s. Better energy. Better inflammation control. Better thyroid understanding. Better self-advocacy. Better confidence in her own body.

And she credits that shift to finally working on the root causes instead of jumping from diet to diet or waiting for the next prescription to "fix" everything.

❤️ Inside This Episode, Lori Shares: 🔹 What it's really like living with Hashimoto's for 50 years

The misunderstandings, the misdiagnoses, the emotional weight, and the resilience required when no one seems to have answers for your fatigue, weight struggles, and symptoms.

🔹 Why losing 100 pounds twice wasn't the victory it looked like

Her weight came off—but her metabolism wasn't healing. This episode breaks down the difference between weight loss and root-cause metabolic repair.

🔹 What finally pushed her to join the Reclaim Inner Circle

Lori realized she didn't need another diet. She needed a roadmap, mentorship, individualized support, and a metabolic strategy that wouldn't collapse the moment life got stressful.

🔹 How she became her own health advocate

Lori shares how she entered doctor's appointments prepared, confident, and unwilling to be brushed off. She explains the labs she now understands, the questions she finally knows how to ask, and the power of no longer handing over her agency.

🔹 The moment everything clicked

When she realized it wasn't her failing—it was the outdated model she had been taught to trust.

🔹 What feeling better at 69 than she did in her 30s actually looks like

More strength. More clarity. More peace in her body. Less inflammation. And a relationship with food and her metabolism that finally feels sustainable.

🌿 Key Takeaway

Lori's story is a reminder that it's never too late to reclaim your thyroid, your metabolism, and your quality of life. Sustainable healing requires support, strategy, and a willingness to question everything you've been told about your body—and Lori embodies that courage beautifully.
