The Truth About Healing Hashimoto’s

Picture this:
You’re sitting at the beach taking in the salty air and watching your kids build the most epic sand castle. Your toes are in the sand, there’s no brain fog, you’re enjoying your beach snacks knowing that your body is no longer just storing it all as fat. Not a worry in the world - you even have enough energy to go help your kids build that sand castle. Life. Is. Bliss.
But how did you get to this point where life actually feels this good?
I can tell you right now it’s not easy. I’d be a liar, and anyone who tries selling you a quick & easy “solution” just wants your money.
I can also tell you that anything in life worth having is worth working for. I want to go back in time to the 2016 version of me who was starving on a very strict Keto diet. Sure, I was thin, but I also had horrible cystic acne for the first time in my life and I was barely functioning because the brain fog was so bad. At that point in time I didn’t think I could have a fit bod and have energy. Was this just how life would be with Hashimoto’s? I was working so so hard, and for what? To still feel like crap?
Here’s the thing - my work ethic was there. I’m sure that you’re reading this and feeling frustrated that your hard work hasn’t been paying off. I felt that same frustration, sis!
The right equation for results with Hashimoto’s is:
Work ethic/drive
The right plan
I had the work ethic, but I lacked the right plan. Once I got on the right protocol it was like everything changed. I was no longer at a stand still…I finally caught traction!
Even with the right plan and gaining traction, the action steps while healing aren’t always easy. Some weeks it’s 2 steps forward and 1 step back - but that’s still progress. When you’re righting metabolic and hormonal wrongs, it takes time! So give it time. Be patient, give yourself grace, and ask for help.
Sometimes the things we want include doing things we don’t want to do. It’s just too easy to stay comfortable - it feels safe. But if you don’t stretch yourself, you won’t ever discover your full potential. This goes beyond your health/fitness - this is true in every aspect of your life!
I challenge you to get uncomfortable today and show up for yourself in a way that you never have before!
