If you're on the fence, if you're thinking, I have brain fog, I'm told to trust my gut, but I have gut dysbiosis and I'm bloated all the time, how do I know when to invest in my health? That is what we're going to answer today. Investing in our health can be very expensive, especially if we're going on the functional medicine route.
I'll bust some of the beliefs and very real fears that we tell ourselves, some of the limiting beliefs, and the dialogue in our head to talk us out of investing in ourselves. But investing in our health is the most important thing. There is nothing more important, and you don't realize that until you hit the darkest steps of your Hashimoto's diagnosis.

In today's Thyroid Strong solo shortie episode, I sit down to talk about where to start when you feel overwhelmed with your Hashimoto's diagnosis or when you don't know where to start. I share the Big 3 Trigger Trifecta's of Hashimoto's: Genetics, Leaky Gut, and Stressors including emotional stress, environmental stress, and trauma. I like to start with the hierarchy of treating thyroid hormones, adrenal issues, and gut health first before addressing sex hormones and insulin resistance. But before addressing these, you need to get your foundational health right including: how you're eating, how you're working out, and how you're sleeping.

What if you had tools to tap into to build your resilience during the darkest depths of your Hashimoto’s diagnosis?

Unexpected is a cross between Dr. Carnahan’s memoir about trauma, healing, and recovery coupled with a personal development/self-help guide designed to give practical advice for those seeking solutions to long-term chronic illness.
Unexpected explores the role faith & spirituality can play in one's healing journey, coming from a medical doctor who has diagnosed and treated countless patients suffering from life-altering diseases... and who has also suffered from significant loss.
Dr. Jill Carnahan, MD., is a board-certified Integrative Holistic Medicine specialist, known as Your Functional Medicine Expert® and often referred to as the "Sherlock Holmes of Medicine," for solving the case of the most well-known medical mysteries. Utilizing state-of-the-art lab testing and biochemical analysis, she helps each patient identify the root cause of their illness by identifying nutritional or metabolic imbalances that may be contributing to their symptoms. Dr. Jill uses nutritional protocols and supplements, lifestyle changes, and medication to increase the patient's level of function and always seeks the gentlest and least invasive way to restore health and optimize healing.

If you've gone through the conventional medical system to get diagnosed with Hashimoto's, the typical path is diagnosis., medication and then being told that you will live with it forever.
