Conceiving can be especially challenging for patients with thyroid disease. I personally struggled with infertility and multiple miscarriages that could have been avoided if I knew more about Hashimoto’s when we were trying to conceive. I believe we go through challenges in life for a variety of reasons, but ultimately, I believe we should learn from them, and help others avoid the same hard lessons if at all possible.

Today I will review 4 questions related to conceiving when you have Hashimoto’s:

1. What should I do before trying to conceive?
2. What kind of doctor should I see?
3. What should I bring to my first preconception visit with my doctor?
4. What should we discuss at my first visit?

In my quest to advocate for Hashimoto’s patients, one topic seems to come up over and over, and that’s leaky gut. In functional medicine, we know leaky gut is a root cause for Hashimoto’s, but what is the root cause of leaky gut? Listen in to hear 5 possible causes I found in my research that could be the cause of your leaky gut.

For those of you who feel overwhelmed with how to navigate all the lifestyle changes and modifications related to your autoimmune disease, how to find work/life balance, how to get your family to support your needs along the way, how to find the right workout or nutrition plan for you, or simply need accountability and support to keep on track, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

I recently read in the book “Reversing Hashimoto’s” written by Dr. Anshul Gupta that Hashimoto’s patients could benefit from supplementing with Acetyl L-Carnitine. So, I decided to dig a little deeper to learn more about it.

L-Carnitine supplementation has been shown in a 2016 research study of patients with hypothyroidism to significantly improve both physical and mental fatigue. For Hashimoto’s patients, fatigue, brain fog, and muscle weakness are all common complaints, even after regulating their thyroid hormones.

Listen in to learn what L-Carnitine is, what role does it play in our body, and how to determine if you should consider adding it to your own nutrition plan.

Meet Saranne Riccio. She is a small business owner, wine lover, animal lover and Hashimoto’s advocate. She was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s in April 2008 and struggled until November 2020 to find a doctor who could help.

During that time, she became her own researcher and did not stop until she found a Functional Medicine Doctor who was well versed at treating patients with autoimmune disease.

Today she is steadily healing after this long journey. She is hopeful for the future and wants to help others.

Special thanks to Saranne for sharing her story with us today. If you’d like to reach her directly you can find her in our Facebook group called The Hashimoto’s Connection, or also on Instagram @ricciosaranne.

If you have Hashimoto’s, then you know what a roller coaster of symptoms and emotions it can be. I’ve had so many listeners express their frustration of how their doctor starts them on thyroid medication, and then simply tells them to follow up in 6 months to a year. They are led to believe that is all that can be done. They end up usually getting very little, if any relief from symptoms, and in many cases they even get worse.

Today, I discuss this topic and offer some resources to help you get a better understanding of why this happens and how to get help.
