After being blessed with my fifth child I started to feel like a stranger in my body. Something was off. My body was communicating major distress. I experienced extreme unexplained symptoms from brain fog, fatigue, hot flashes, low energy, mood swings, extreme weight loss and more. The doctors blamed “Postpartum” and initially I accepted that to be the case.

But after a few months of intense suffering, repeated doctors visits and non-stop blood draws, they blankly said “It’s all in your head”.

That was my initial wake up call! I realized I needed to take my health into my own hands! I was completely exhausted and felt lost but was determined to find the root cause. I started researching and reading about health and wellness and introduced small dietary changes into my life. After educating myself and getting to know my body better, I had come to realize that my symptoms might be thyroid related. This prompted another round of doctor visits and additional blood work to seek out a professional diagnosis.

My gut feeling was finally validated when I was given a diagnosis. My thyroid was out of whack. I had Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, a chronic inflammation of the thyroid gland. I was surprised to learn that the only medical solution to minimize the symptoms and prevent my thyroid from further distress was a synthetic drug for life.

That was a turnoff!! A pharmaceutical pill for life didn’t feel right!

Now with a diagnosis in my possession I took a closer look at my body and symptoms and knew that there must be a better solution. I researched and quickly learned that the body is miraculous and that healing, and living symptom free is possible.

My greatest discovery on this journey was when I took a deep dive into my own life. I viewed my body from a holistic perspective, which I learned encompasses my physical, emotional, spiritual health and wellbeing. I discovered a way to create a comprehensive, holistic lifestyle that would support my body’s self-healing capability. The difference was amazing. My energy came back. My mood improved. My mental clarity improved. I felt like a new woman and I could function as a much better mom too. My joy was back!

Today, as a Certified Health Coach, I now coach women out of their fatigue, low energy, mood swings and weight gain, so they can reclaim their physical and emotional wellbeing and live joyfully. I felt alone on my journey, but that shouldn’t be your experience. I wish I had a guide like myself back when I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I am therefore passionate about helping other women have freedom over their health like I do.
