“My doctor said Hashimoto’s is no big deal, all you need is thyroid medication and you’ll be fine.” While I am not advocating immediately kicking your doctor to the curb, I am going to help educate you on how respectfully challenge your doctor to dig deeper and consider additional methods to healing, and if still no help, well then maybe finding a new doctor may be the way to go!

Autoimmune Protocol: Elimination phase, what it is, how it works, and some of the potential challenges you should expect.

I want to mention there are many forms of the Autoimmune Protocol, each having a slightly different viewpoint on the foods which should be eliminated.  If there is anything in this program that does not feel right for you, feel free to adjust. I can provide a blueprint to follow; yet, ultimately, you must follow your intuition and listen to your own body.

I am going to briefly share about one of the most common topics I get consulted about and hired for, the Autoimmune Protocol.  I’ll give you a brief success story, a description of what it is, how it works,  some of the benefits, support options, and how to get started on your own personal journey to healing.
