• 0:00
  Everyone is talking about GLP-1, including me on this podcast,
• 0:03
  Health with Hashimoto's.
• 0:04
  We have talked about it on several different episodes, and I'm going to give
• 0:09
  you an update to my story today.
• 0:11
  Now, GLP-1 is a peptide that your body makes, and the benefits go way beyond weight loss.
• 0:19
  People talk about it for weight loss, and they talk about blood sugar,
• 0:23
  but the benefits of GLP-1.
• 0:26
  It supports brain health, it reduces inflammation, it protects your cardiovascular
• 0:30
  symptom, and it can even benefit your hormone balance and immune regulation.
• 0:36
  And as a listener of the Health with Hashimoto's podcast,
• 0:39
  my assumption is that you are very interested in your immune regulation and
• 0:46
  you're very interested in inflammation because inflammation is so huge in autoimmunity.
• 0:53
  And of course, Hashimoto's is an autoimmune condition.
• 0:57
  So I'm going to give you an update on my six-month experience with the MindBody GLP-1 system.
• 1:04
  But first, welcome to the Health with Hashimoto's podcast.
• 1:07
  My name is Esther. I am a registered nurse. I'm the mom of four boys.
• 1:11
  One of them is graduating soon from high school. He is my oldest.
• 1:15
  It's crazy going into this new season of life.
• 1:19
  You'll have to let me know, send me a message on Instagram, like what kind of
• 1:23
  things do you do as soon as your kid graduates?
• 1:25
  How do you handle this transition from high school senior to fledgling adult?
• 1:32
  Give me your tips. I'm super interested to know.
• 1:35
  All right, so Hashimoto's. It has been part of my life for a while.
• 1:39
  I first learned that I had Hashimoto's because I had skin irritation.
• 1:45
  I had a rash, almost like a psoriasis on my legs.
• 1:49
  And I went in actually to see my chiropractor. I wanted some food sensitivity testing.
• 1:55
  And she looked at me and she said, your thyroid area looks a little boggy.
• 2:00
  I wasn't quite sure what she meant by boggy, but I trusted her.
• 2:02
  So the front of my neck, the base of my neck, she thought
• 2:05
  it looked a little swollen so she did
• 2:08
  the lab testing and sure enough it came back my antibodies
• 2:12
  were high my TSH was still
• 2:14
  fine my T4 was fine my T3 was fine
• 2:18
  my reverse T3 was quite elevated meaning my body was saying we need to prioritize
• 2:24
  rest and healing not go go go but everything else was still okay so I caught
• 2:30
  it fairly early which I am very grateful for I don't know how early in the system,
• 2:35
  in the process, you are catching yours.
• 2:37
  I hope that it is very early and that you are identifying your root causes and
• 2:42
  that you're taking action to address those.
• 2:45
  And I want to shortcut your time because we don't have time.
• 2:50
  You know, I have four boys. Like I said, one of them is graduating.
• 2:54
  They're each going into these new seasons of life.
• 2:56
  You know, one of my youngest, he's going into youth group for the first time
• 2:59
  at church. My second, he's getting his driver's license.
• 3:03
  They're all doing new things. I'm busy.
• 3:05
  I wear multiple, multiple hats. I'm sure you do too, because that is the state of our culture today.
• 3:12
  Everybody is so busy. So you don't have time to waste in trying to figure things
• 3:17
  out and doing all of this trial and error and doing tons of research.
• 3:21
  I love learning.
• 3:23
  I love digging into things and going deep in the research and reading a variety
• 3:29
  of different opinions and different experts.
• 3:32
  I have read multiple books on thyroid, multiple books on autoimmune stuff.
• 3:37
  I've listened, I mean, I've done so much research and I enjoyed it.
• 3:42
  That is one of the things that I love to do as a nurse and somebody trained
• 3:47
  in holistic health education.
• 3:50
  For when I was going to school, when we had a module, we had a module,
• 3:54
  I think it was once a week, once every other week, and we would get 100 to 300
• 4:00
  pages of different research studies.
• 4:04
  And we would have to read through all of them and compile this picture,
• 4:09
  this whole person picture of what was going on, body, mind, spirit, diet, and environment.
• 4:13
  So when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, that's of course what I was doing.
• 4:17
  I was looking at tons and tons of research.
• 4:19
  I was learning as much as I could, compiling a picture and figuring out what are the root causes?
• 4:25
  What is the physical stuff? What's the emotional stuff? What's the spiritual stuff?
• 4:29
  What kind of dietary things do I need to be thinking about? What are the root
• 4:33
  causes in a, you know, dietary language?
• 4:36
  And then what's the environment? I looked at all of it and I understand that
• 4:40
  most people don't have time to do that.
• 4:41
  And they don't want to do that. They want to say, okay, here's my diagnosis and my symptoms.
• 4:46
  What do I need to do? And so that is why I created the Holistic Hashimoto's course for you.
• 4:51
  It's so that you can figure out exactly what to do. You can shortcut your time.
• 4:56
  I already did all of the research.
• 4:58
  I already looked at all of the things and I compiled them.
• 5:02
  And I made it a shortcut for you because you don't have time to waste.
• 5:06
  So the Holistic Hashimoto's course, you can find it down the link in the show notes.
• 5:11
  Of course, you can find it in our school community, S-K-O-O-L.
• 5:14
  It's Health with Hashimoto's. It's our community on that website, school.com.
• 5:19
  And it is fantastic, a fantastic resource for you.
• 5:23
  So I tell you all of that backstory because I'm going to tell you about my GLP-1 experience.
• 5:28
  Now, about, oh, I don't know, maybe 15 years ago, I started getting more migraines.
• 5:34
  I had a couple when I was in junior high and high school, then not really any,
• 5:39
  but about 15 years ago, I started getting them.
• 5:42
  And of course, me being the root cause person, I started trying to figure out why I was getting them.
• 5:48
  And I eventually realized that it was a grouping of things for me and I had
• 5:55
  four specific things and if I had two or three of those four,
• 6:00
  especially four of them, I would get a migraine.
• 6:02
  So it didn't have to be, you know, the same two.
• 6:05
  It could be any variety. And so of course to figure that out,
• 6:08
  it took a while because it, you know, one thing would sometimes trigger a migraine,
• 6:13
  but not always. So eventually I realized that it was these four specific things.
• 6:17
  And if two or more of them happened, then I would get a migraine.
• 6:21
  And one of them was sugar.
• 6:23
  So I know for me that blood sugar impacts my migraines.
• 6:29
  And every single month for the last two or three, maybe four years,
• 6:34
  I have gotten a migraine.
• 6:36
  Okay, not maybe every month, maybe 11 out of the 12 months. when my period comes
• 6:40
  and sometimes when I ovulate, I get a migraine. Not cool.
• 6:45
  It's, you know, I understand the pain scale because, well, because I have a
• 6:49
  kid, I had a kidney stone back a while ago that, that showed me what a 10 was.
• 6:53
  A 10 is higher than labor.
• 6:56
  When I was in labor, I thought that was a 10 and then I had a kidney stone. So a seven for me,
• 7:02
  on that pain scale from 0 to 10 is when I start throwing up out of pain.
• 7:06
  My migraines will often throw me over a 7.
• 7:10
  And that is miserable. You know, it takes a day or two or sometimes even five out of my month.
• 7:17
  And I don't have that to spare. I'm sure you don't either.
• 7:19
  So when I found out about this MindBody GLP-1 system, I was intrigued.
• 7:25
  If you listen to episodes 114, 115, 115, 116, and 117, we talk about GLP-1.
• 7:33
  In episode 115, I'm going to tell you all about what it is.
• 7:38
  In, sorry, that's 114. 115, I tell you a bunch of tips on how you can increase your own production.
• 7:44
  And in 116 and 117, I talk to you about the mind-body system.
• 7:50
  And I also interview my friend, Jenny Crane, who is part of an experiential
• 7:56
  group who got access to this product before it was released.
• 8:00
  So this product, the MindBody GLP-1 system, is designed to help your body create more GLP-1.
• 8:08
  So like I said in episode 115, there are a lot of ways that you can increase your own production.
• 8:16
  So when they did the clinical studies on the MindBody system,
• 8:20
  they found that it creates or you create 54% more GLP-1 production.
• 8:28
  Your body creates more. It also increases other pathways and genes.
• 8:35
  It upregulates your GCG gene, which is a precursor that creates pro-glucagon.
• 8:42
  It's a precursor protein for GLP-1. So you need to have that proglucagon,
• 8:46
  you need to be creating that or activating that GCG gene.
• 8:50
  There's also another gene, the PCSK1 gene, that also plays a role with the proglucagon and the GLP1.
• 8:59
  It does a whole bunch of things that they found this in at the research.
• 9:02
  So I was very intrigued and I wondered, will this help my monthly migraines?
• 9:08
  I also was wondering if it would help my Hashimoto's.
• 9:11
  If you've been through Hashimoto's Decoded the Root Causes mini course,
• 9:16
  which is also the beginning of the Holistic Hashimoto's course.
• 9:19
  I put, you know, that as a standalone. If you only want to figure out your root
• 9:23
  causes and then you want to do the trial and error into solutions, you can do that.
• 9:27
  That's the Hashimoto's Decoded Root Causes course.
• 9:30
  Again, school.com. It's the Health with Hashimoto's community.
• 9:33
  You'll find it in the classroom tab and the link is down in the show notes.
• 9:37
  So if you've gone through that, if you've gone through the Holistic Hashimoto's
• 9:40
  course, you know that blood sugar regulation, the lows and the highs are a trigger for Hashimoto's.
• 9:49
  So I knew that about myself. I also knew that I don't have diabetes.
• 9:53
  I am not diabetic. I did not have gestational diabetes in any of my pregnancies.
• 10:01
  I wasn't worried about diabetes, but I did know that I get hangry very easily.
• 10:08
  I do know that I can forget to eat. If I'm in the zone or if I'm stressed or
• 10:15
  if I'm busy, I can sometimes forget to eat. And that's not healthy.
• 10:20
  If you can forget to eat and if you get hangry easily, you probably have metabolic
• 10:27
  brittleness, meaning that your body cannot adapt very well. And I knew I was in that state.
• 10:32
  So I was very intrigued by this MindBody GLP-1 system.
• 10:36
  I did not want to get it for weight loss. I was not worried about that.
• 10:40
  I am not worried about weight loss. I am very fortunate in that a lot of my
• 10:46
  listeners to this podcast struggle greatly with their weight.
• 10:50
  And I don't know if you are in that boat, but a lot of people with Hashimoto's
• 10:54
  do struggle with their weight.
• 10:55
  It is not one of the reasons that I started on the GLP-1 system.
• 10:59
  I wanted to increase my body's own production of GLP-1 and see what it did for my inflammation.
• 11:06
  I wanted to see how it changed my relationship with food. I wanted to see if
• 11:10
  it would impact my inflammation.
• 11:12
  Did I just say that one? And I wanted to see what it would do for my migraines.
• 11:16
  So I've been using this MindBody GLP-1 system for a little over six months,
• 11:20
  and here is my story of what I experienced.
• 11:23
  The very first thing that I noticed was I got the system in early October,
• 11:29
  and my kids went out trick-or-treating for Halloween and the bowl sat on the
• 11:34
  counter the next day and I didn't care.
• 11:38
  What? Like it didn't even, it wasn't even part of the background noise in my brain.
• 11:43
  I didn't care that there was a bowl of candy with butterfingers on my counter. I didn't even care.
• 11:52
  Now that was absolutely insane to me.
• 11:56
  That has never happened. If there's butterfingers in the house,
• 11:59
  I know where they are. I know how many there are.
• 12:03
  I'm already calculating when would be appropriate to go get another one.
• 12:08
  Like, you know, dessert, snack, what?
• 12:11
  When should I have that next Butterfinger? It's there in my brain. I am thinking about it.
• 12:17
  And when Halloween came around, and I had not been on the system for very long,
• 12:20
  and I did not expect any, you know, brain benefits yet, and all of a sudden,
• 12:25
  I didn't even care that they were in the house.
• 12:28
  I, oh my goodness, it blew my mind. Absolutely blew my mind.
• 12:32
  Now, I'm not going to say that over the last six months, I haven't had any cravings.
• 12:35
  I'm not going to say that I have, you know, ignored all sweets or all things
• 12:40
  that are not good for me, because that's not true. I have had some cravings.
• 12:43
  I have indulged sometimes, but I have not had to fight it very hard.
• 12:49
  If I'm going to have something that's because I choose to, it's not because
• 12:52
  I'm constantly aware of that thing that's in the house or that I really want.
• 12:57
  It just changed my brain's relationship with food. That's the number one thing that I noticed.
• 13:04
  And that was right away, you know, within a month of starting.
• 13:09
  The next thing that happened was one of my kids had multiple broken bones over the last year.
• 13:16
  Starting in the summer, he broke his leg, And then it was less,
• 13:20
  it was 10 days after his last orthopedic appointment when he broke his finger.
• 13:26
  For his finger, he needed surgery.
• 13:28
  So I'm sitting in the hospital waiting for him to finish the surgery.
• 13:32
  And I realized that I no longer can skip meals.
• 13:37
  So that is the next thing that happened was my relationship with food changed mentally first.
• 13:43
  Like I didn't have the food noise. I don't of the cravings.
• 13:46
  And then physically, I used to have about just a very small window of feeling
• 13:54
  hungry. I would have zero, zero hunger.
• 13:57
  And then I would be completely oblivious on a 100 point scale up until about 90.
• 14:04
  And once I hit about the level 90 in hunger, I would have to have
• 14:08
  Then I knew I was hungry, starving. And then, you know, the closer it got to
• 14:12
  a hundred, then like shaky, nauseous, headache, you know, all of that nasty stuff.
• 14:18
  But really between zero and 90, I could ignore, which explains why I had so
• 14:24
  many hangry episodes and why I could just forget to eat.
• 14:30
  When I was in surgery or waiting for my son who was in surgery,
• 14:34
  I realized that that was no longer the case.
• 14:36
  Now I actually recognize my hunger levels. I have a full range from zero to a hundred.
• 14:44
  In other words, I have a healthier relationship with food.
• 14:47
  However, I wasn't happy about it. I was very happy being able to ignore my bodily needs.
• 14:55
  And maybe that's one of the reasons why I have Hashimoto's, because I could
• 15:00
  ignore what my body was telling me.
• 15:02
  I interviewed a guest, and I'm not quite sure when her episode is going to come
• 15:06
  out, but she said, learn to recognize the whisper before your body has to yell.
• 15:12
  And that is what I failed to do for decades. I ignored the whispers.
• 15:17
  I waited for my body to yell.
• 15:19
  And then after a while, it got sick of yelling at me and it just started shutting down.
• 15:24
  Hello, autoimmune problems. Hello, Hashimoto's. so
• 15:28
  learning to hear and to feel to
• 15:31
  acknowledge the hunger cues between zero
• 15:34
  and a hundred was new for me that was
• 15:37
  something else that this mind body glp1 system did and i
• 15:40
  will confess that i was kind of cranky about it at first now i have you know
• 15:46
  accepted it i i know that it's healthy i know that that's how my body was created
• 15:51
  was to have different hunger levels not just zero and 90, and then 90 to 100.
• 15:59
  So that's the next thing that happened, second thing. And then the migraines.
• 16:05
  That was a little bit more gradual. I don't remember when it started.
• 16:10
  And I tell you often on this podcast to track your symptoms, write things down.
• 16:15
  Maybe if I went back in my Oura Ring history, I could tell when I have a migraine
• 16:20
  because I usually put a tag, especially if it's a level seven and it causes
• 16:25
  me to, you know, be in the bathroom throwing up.
• 16:27
  I'll usually put a tag in my aura ring so that I could see, you know,
• 16:31
  why did I have zero activity that day?
• 16:34
  You know, I was stuck in bed all day with a migraine.
• 16:37
  But I haven't looked it up. I do know that today my period is starting and I
• 16:44
  had a slight headache the last two days.
• 16:48
  It went away. I was able to get rid of it without any medication.
• 16:53
  Usually when I have a migraine with my period, I do all of the things.
• 16:57
  I do all the natural things. I do all the stress things.
• 16:59
  I even do coffee enemas. I do medications over the counter.
• 17:03
  I have not ever needed prescription, but at the same time, maybe if I had a
• 17:07
  prescription medication, I wouldn't be spending five days in bed.
• 17:11
  So I had a slight headache. It was like a one or two on a pain scale.
• 17:16
  And it was more like if I get up and I'm moving around, I just feel really gross,
• 17:21
  but I was still able to function.
• 17:24
  That was this month. The last three months, I have had either that or nothing.
• 17:31
  Nothing. And remember, I told you it's been like four years,
• 17:35
  three or four years that I've had migraines almost every single month.
• 17:39
  That, I believe, is directly in relationship with my body's hormones and things
• 17:47
  starting to work better.
• 17:48
  I believe that the MindBody GLP-1 system, which is the only thing that's changed
• 17:53
  over the last six months, it has changed like all of those peptides and hormones
• 17:59
  and the signals of my body. My body is working better.
• 18:03
  This system is helping my body do what it's supposed to do.
• 18:08
  I am completely thrilled with this. Absolutely just so happy to not have a migraine right now.
• 18:17
  I would not be recording this episode right now.
• 18:20
  It is Wednesday. I have a podcast in my queue in case I can't record in order
• 18:29
  to publish on a Thursday because I have had weeks where,
• 18:33
  you know, I was flat in bed for five days, and I could not sit at my computer and record coherently.
• 18:38
  You can't do that if you're a podcaster, but I'm able to sit here,
• 18:42
  and I figured why not do a six month update.
• 18:46
  So I will tell you though, that people who use the MindBody GLP-1 system for
• 18:52
  weight loss, they're not having miracles.
• 18:55
  You're not going to have Ozempic or Wagovi-Monjaro results with this,
• 19:01
  because all of those are way more than your body would create on its own.
• 19:07
  All of those are way out of proportion with what your body, with what it needs.
• 19:13
  With this mind-body GLP-1 system, it's more doing what your body would naturally
• 19:18
  do. It's getting it back on the line.
• 19:21
  Yes, producing more GLP-1, producing more of these other things that interact
• 19:27
  or that complement and help the GLP-1 do what it's supposed to do.
• 19:31
  There's a lot of things that this mind-body GLP-1 system does,
• 19:35
  but rapid and huge weight loss is not one of those things.
• 19:40
  So there was a group of people...
• 19:43
  And they all got together and did it for 12 weeks.
• 19:47
  And let me tell you the statistics. So I have some informal statistics.
• 19:52
  A group of people did this together.
• 19:55
  There were about 1,700 that started.
• 19:58
  And after 12 weeks, there were about 300 who submitted their after pictures
• 20:03
  and their measurements and their weight, all of that.
• 20:06
  And I have the preliminary results. I do not have the final results.
• 20:10
  I don't have the official statistics and the numbers that have been completely run through.
• 20:17
  I only have the preliminary.
• 20:19
  So please follow me and please send me a message if you want to know the actual results.
• 20:25
  Because like I said, this is just preliminary. I wanted to give you my six-month update.
• 20:30
  And at this time, when I have been on the MindBody GLP-1 system for six months,
• 20:35
  I only have that preliminary results from that study or from that experience.
• 20:39
  On average, the women who were losing weight lost a little over nine pounds.
• 20:45
  So if you're looking for miraculous, crazy weight loss, I don't think this is the system for you.
• 20:51
  If you're looking for something to help your body do what your body is designed
• 20:55
  to do, but as you have gained weight,
• 20:58
  as you have been exposed to different toxins and things in your environment,
• 21:02
  as your body just has started to not work like it's supposed to,
• 21:06
  you don't have as much GLP-1, your body isn't working,
• 21:09
  like you have a lot of food noise, you just want a better relationship with
• 21:13
  food, and you want to help your hormones and like everything work better,
• 21:18
  then this MindBody GLP-1 system is absolutely phenomenal. I give it a five out of five stars.
• 21:24
  Highly recommend. I am so thrilled with my results.
• 21:28
  Absolutely thrilled. And I want these results for you too, because I mean,
• 21:33
  who wouldn't want less food noise, less cravings, all of the things that I experienced?
• 21:38
  I want that for you too, except obviously, I don't want you to go through the decade of migraines.
• 21:44
  I mean, let's not do that. Let's not have so many problems.
• 21:49
  I've spent a decade trying to figure out what's causing these suckers and how
• 21:52
