098 // From Stuck to Unstoppable · Health with Hashimoto’s - Thyroid or Immune Education for Autoimmune Thyroid Disease

• 0:00
  We live in an information age. We literally have the world at our fingertips,
• 0:04
  and sometimes that can actually stop us from taking action.
• 0:09
  So in today's episode, episode number 98 of the Health with Hashimoto's podcast,
• 0:14
  I'm going to tell you exactly how to get results when we live in an information age.
• 0:20
  And it does not come down to having yet another course on your computer computer
• 0:27
  that you don't access anymore. I don't know about you.
• 0:30
  I have a whole bunch of courses. I love information.
• 0:34
  Do you as well? I mean, you're a
• 0:36
  podcast listener and people who listen to podcasts tend to love to learn.
• 0:41
  You love to learn about your health. You love to learn about the world around you.
• 0:46
  You love to learn about how to relate to others and how to improve relationships
• 0:51
  and how to improve so many different aspects of your health.
• 0:54
  And in this information age, sometimes we can get stuck learning,
• 0:59
  always learning and never doing.
• 1:01
  But my goal with this podcast, the Health of Hashimoto's podcast,
• 1:05
  is to help you take action.
• 1:07
  My goal is to help you learn what your root causes are and be able to address them.
• 1:13
  Because if you are not addressing your root causes of your Hashimoto's,
• 1:17
  you will continue to have more and more symptoms.
• 1:20
  In fact, if you ignore the autoimmune part of the diagnosis,
• 1:25
  and I feel like it's easy to do because a lot of doctors and providers will
• 1:31
  just say, you have Hashimoto's, here, take this medication.
• 1:33
  They don't even explain it's an autoimmune problem. So if you ignore the autoimmune
• 1:37
  problem of the diagnosis.
• 1:39
  Then you're not going to be able to recognize even that there are things to
• 1:44
  do, that there is an immune system that is crying out for help,
• 1:48
  an immune system that has has gone haywire and that needs attention.
• 1:52
  And there are things you can do. If you don't know there are things to do,
• 1:55
  I guess that's the number one thing I want you to learn from the past 97 episodes.
• 2:00
  There are things you can do for your health.
• 2:04
  Hashimoto's is not a sentence that you have to be on medications that increase
• 2:11
  over time and your thyroid will eventually die. That is not your sentence.
• 2:16
  You have a life in front of you and you get to enjoy that life.
• 2:21
  And hopefully through the things that you learn on this podcast,
• 2:25
  you have discovered how to increase your energy.
• 2:29
  And like so many women saying, I just want to feel like myself again.
• 2:32
  And that is my goal for you. I want you to feel like yourself again.
• 2:36
  Last week in episode 97, I talked about starting now, not letting the summer derail your health.
• 2:44
  And that also pertains to these courses. So the other day, several of my friends
• 2:49
  and I were talking and we're all podcasters.
• 2:52
  So we were talking about podcasting and specifically, we were talking about
• 2:55
  two different courses that are for podcasters.
• 2:59
  Now, some of us have been through course one, some of us has been through course
• 3:04
  two, actually A and B, they're from two two different people.
• 3:07
  And there were some differences.
• 3:09
  And in explaining the differences as a group, the goal was to help people figure
• 3:16
  out which course to enroll in.
• 3:18
  And it really helped me understand how to tell you about the course.
• 3:22
  Because I have a course. It is the Holistic Hashimoto's course.
• 3:26
  And it is wonderful for women or men who are looking to address the root causes of their Hashimoto's.
• 3:33
  You know that Hashimoto's is an autoimmune condition.
• 3:36
  You know sometimes what you need to address and sometimes you don't know that.
• 3:41
  And I will take you by the hand and lead you through exactly what to do.
• 3:44
  But I realized that you need to know the difference between different courses
• 3:50
  because there are a lot of courses out there.
• 3:52
  One person messaged me on Instagram. They're like, I feel like every Hashimoto's
• 3:57
  expert has a course they want to sell me.
• 3:58
  And I'm like, well, I, I do have a course. So if you're trying to ask if I have
• 4:04
  a course or not, I mean, I do.
• 4:05
  I have a lot of free stuff. I have nearly a hundred episodes on the podcast
• 4:09
  to give this information to you for free.
• 4:12
  If you want to shortcut your time, the course is for you.
• 4:16
  And I did not hear back from her. So I don't know, maybe she was just looking
• 4:20
  for somebody who did not have a course, but that's why I created the course
• 4:23
  was to shortcut your time. Like I am freely giving you information every single week on the podcast.
• 4:29
  You can get into the app, the Health with Hashimoto's app, and you can go through
• 4:33
  the mini course for free and you can identify your root causes.
• 4:36
  You can learn what to ask your doctor. I have so many resources for you.
• 4:41
  And then to shortcut your time, I have the paid course.
• 4:45
  So first, let me tell you what my course is not.
• 4:48
  And I am going to relate it to the two podcast courses that people were in my
• 4:53
  little group that we were talking about.
• 4:55
  Now, PodCourse, PodCourse, Course A, Course A was, they're both the same price.
• 5:03
  So, you know, they're equal that way. And it was for the advanced student when
• 5:09
  you, or it is for the advanced student.
• 5:11
  When you enroll into that course, you enter into the dashboard and everything
• 5:16
  is available to you all at once.
• 5:18
  The person in our group who was talking about this, she said,
• 5:22
  there is tons of information and it is all available to you.
• 5:26
  It is everything available all at once. Everything that you would want to know,
• 5:30
  every question that you would have, it's in there somewhere.
• 5:34
  But what she said is it's overwhelming. And she got paralyzed.
• 5:37
  There was so much information. She didn't know exactly where to start.
• 5:41
  And she said, you know, honestly, I haven't made progress, but I will go back and do it later.
• 5:47
  I will go back and I will get my money's worth out of that course.
• 5:51
  But as for now, everything was available to her at once. She got overwhelmed
• 5:56
  and didn't know where to start.
• 5:57
  And in the Hashimoto's world, that is so common because there's so much information out there.
• 6:03
  You can check out, you know, five or 10 books from the library or,
• 6:07
  you know, buy them from your local, your local bookstore.
• 6:10
  There's so much information and it's good information. The thing is a lot of
• 6:14
  the information, it contradicts the other good information.
• 6:17
  Like we've talked about before on the podcast, there are so many things like
• 6:21
  expert A with a lot of research behind them to back up what they're going to say.
• 6:25
  They say one thing and then expert B with a whole lot of research behind what
• 6:29
  they say, they say something that directly contradicts expert A, and they're both right.
• 6:35
  But how do you know what's right for you? That is your job when you have an autoimmune problem.
• 6:40
  You will get to figure out what works for you and what doesn't work for you,
• 6:45
  what applies to you and what doesn't apply to you, what your next step is,
• 6:51
  and what works for your friend.
• 6:52
  You have to figure out your own path.
• 6:56
  And when you you enter into a course where everything is available,
• 7:00
  sometimes it can feel like it's just too much. You don't know where to start.
• 7:04
  So the other podcasting course, it was laid out more like my Hashimoto's course,
• 7:11
  the holistic Hashimoto's course.
• 7:12
  And it was described as this way. There's one week at a time and you know exactly what to do.
• 7:19
  And the people in my group who are all talking about these two courses,
• 7:23
  they said that was what they needed.
• 7:25
  They needed to know exactly what to do this week.
• 7:28
  And they could not advance to next week until next week. Like they couldn't just learn and not do.
• 7:35
  They had to learn the information and apply it.
• 7:39
  And they didn't get the information for week two until week two.
• 7:43
  Like the calendar had to switch over to seven days from now.
• 7:46
  And then they got that information and they were so grateful for it because
• 7:51
  they said that in the past they would learn some information and then just want
• 7:55
  to move on and learn more information without doing the work.
• 7:59
  And they would have intentions to come back and do the work or they would do part of the work.
• 8:04
  They would get started and then not finish the work, just go on to the next thing.
• 8:08
  And I totally relate to that. they said having
• 8:11
  it laid out one week at a time at a
• 8:14
  time was super motivating and they
• 8:17
  said they were making tons of progress
• 8:20
  they were doing each week and they were finishing on time and they felt like
• 8:24
  they were moving forward with their podcast and obviously you're not starting
• 8:29
  a podcast you are working on your Hashimoto's but that's what you want to do
• 8:33
  you want to be able to make progress progress and shortcut the time of helping your body,
• 8:40
  supporting your body, do what it's supposed to do.
• 8:42
  That's our goal. Help your body do what it's supposed to do.
• 8:46
  Our immune systems are not supposed to be all haywire and wonky.
• 8:49
  Our immune systems are not supposed to be attacking ourselves.
• 8:53
  Our tissues, and our organs.
• 8:55
  Our immune systems are designed to be attacking foreign invaders, not our thyroids.
• 9:00
  We don't want our immune systems attacking our thyroids. So it is our job as
• 9:04
  somebody who has an autoimmune condition to address the root causes.
• 9:10
  If you're not addressing the root causes, you're not going to make long-term
• 9:14
  progress in your disease.
• 9:16
  Like you have to address the root causes. So if you go into a course and everything
• 9:22
  is available all at once and you get paralyzed, you get overwhelmed,
• 9:26
  paralyzed, and you don't make any progress, then it was a waste of your money.
• 9:30
  Now, is there a place and a time for those courses?
• 9:32
  There absolutely is. With the podcast course A, I know somebody else,
• 9:37
  she wasn't in this conversation, but she had a lot of results,
• 9:42
  fantastic results with that course.
• 9:44
  It met her where she was. She was really advanced.
• 9:48
  She was too advanced actually for the course that was step-by-step because she
• 9:53
  had already been through a lot of those steps.
• 9:56
  And she was working on plugging the holes of what was left, like figuring out
• 10:01
  where do I need to focus on and then work on just those things.
• 10:07
  So she was advanced and ready for that. My course, the Holistic Hashimoto's
• 10:12
  course, is designed for you if you are overwhelmed and if you need to know exactly what to do next.
• 10:19
  And let me tell you what you're going to do in the course. In week one,
• 10:24
  you're going to learn essentially where you are and where you're going.
• 10:27
  You're going to learn about the basics and do a whole person inventory.
• 10:33
  As you know, from listening to previous episodes, as you probably know,
• 10:37
  I help you look at your health in five different areas, body,
• 10:40
  mind, spirit, diet, environment.
• 10:43
  So you're really looking at where are you, where, how are you doing,
• 10:47
  I guess, in each of those areas and where you need to focus on first,
• 10:53
  what root causes, what triggers are specific to you and then what you need it to do.
• 11:00
  You're also going to figure out what does better health look like and feel like for you.
• 11:05
  Like, we don't want it to be vague because if it's vague, you won't know when
• 11:09
  you hit it and you won't know where you are.
• 11:12
  We really want to know what is your goal?
• 11:15
  What does it look like? What does it feel like? What does, quote,
• 11:19
  feel like myself again? What does that actually feel like?
• 11:22
  Does it mean that you're not taking in a nap every single day?
• 11:25
  Does it mean that your symptoms of depression are less?
• 11:29
  And if so, then what does that look like?
• 11:32
  What does it look like for you to feel better again?
• 11:37
  And then, of course, we're looking at how are you going to get there,
• 11:40
  looking at your own triggers and what to work on.
• 11:43
  Week number two, we tackle the biggest trigger for so many people, which is stress.
• 11:50
  And it really helps you work on that trigger.
• 11:53
  Because if you are alive today, you probably have stress.
• 11:58
  I don't know anybody who doesn't. And so we all have to learn how to to decrease
• 12:03
  our stress, and how to manage the stress that we have.
• 12:06
  We cannot get rid of all of the stress. It's just not possible.
• 12:09
  And you know, some stress is healthy. Like your body needs some stress in order to run.
• 12:15
  You need some stress, but we don't
• 12:17
  want too much stress. So we're really focusing on stress in week two.
• 12:21
  Also, we're focusing on that genetic component. Everybody who has an autoimmune
• 12:25
  problem has three things.
• 12:27
  You have a gut component, a genetic component, and one or more triggers.
• 12:33
  Oh, I forgot to tell you also, as soon as you get in to the course,
• 12:37
  there is a gut health ebook that really walks you through like customizing what
• 12:44
  would be best for your gut.
• 12:46
  Everybody's journey is different. All right, so then week three,
• 12:49
  we dive into the gut and diet.
• 12:52
  Diet is a huge topic. Every time I do a podcast episode that mentions the word
• 12:57
  diet or mentions like what foods to cut out.
• 13:00
  I know that it's going to be a popular one.
• 13:03
  You like to listen to it because there's so much information on diet and there's
• 13:07
  so much contradictory information about what to eat if you have an autoimmune
• 13:11
  problem or if you have Hashimoto's or if you have a thyroid problem.
• 13:14
  People come at it from all different angles and give you contradictory advice.
• 13:19
  So week three is helping you figure out what is your best next step for your
• 13:25
  gut health and your diet.
• 13:27
  And then in week four, we talk about toxins and your liver health.
• 13:33
  We really want to focus on your liver and all the things that you can do to
• 13:38
  support it so that it can do its job of helping clean out the junk from your
• 13:44
  body because we are surrounded by so many chemicals.
• 13:47
  And so again, if you are alive today, I know that environmental chemicals are
• 13:52
  one of your triggers, or at least they are a component of your current state
• 13:58
  of health because they're for everybody.
• 14:01
  Like even I talk about in the course, and I've mentioned it on the podcast before,
• 14:05
  even babies today are born already with so many chemicals already in them.
• 14:11
  They test the umbilical cord blood, and there's already chemical exposures.
• 14:16
  So we all know that we have some work to do there.
• 14:19
  So that's one thing that you're going to work on in step four or in week four.
• 14:24
  And then I did just add the bonus that was promised.
• 14:28
  It is how to eat a cookie or other forbidden food. Forbidden is in quotation marks.
• 14:34
  There's really like nothing is forbidden, right? You have free will.
• 14:38
  You can choose to eat what you want. But we all know that there are things that
• 14:42
  if we eat them, we don't feel as good after. maybe it sends you into a Hashimoto's
• 14:47
  flare, maybe it sends you just some symptoms, or it causes pain.
• 14:52
  Or maybe you just don't feel quite as alert, or maybe you know that it doesn't
• 14:57
  support your dietary goals whatsoever.
• 14:59
  And so there are always in our lives, there are things that we really don't
• 15:05
  feel like we should be eating without should word.
• 15:08
  And so I teach you a whole bunch bunch of different tricks. I think I have seven
• 15:12
  different tips and tricks in how to eat those things.
• 15:16
  And I walk you through how to eat a cookie to lower the impact,
• 15:20
  the negative impact that it has on your body.
• 15:23
  Yeah. So a lot of different little tips in there. That is the bonus lesson.
• 15:28
  And that also is available during week four.
• 15:32
  That is the course. And like I said, it is one week at a time so that you know
• 15:37
  exactly what to do and when to do it.
• 15:39
  And yet at the same time, I'm not giving you tons of information.
• 15:44
  You're not going to spend 40 hours a week on this course.
• 15:47
  You're busy. You don't have time for that. You need to be able to sit down with
• 15:51
  a course and say, okay, what am I learning this week?
• 15:54
  Go ahead and learn it. It's going to take you less than an hour.
• 15:57
  Then you can say, okay, how do I implement this for the next week?
• 16:01
  What are my action steps? And I'm going to give you those.
• 16:04
  And then you're going to have usually a couple podcast episodes if you want
• 16:09
  to dig deeper and review other episodes that I've done on that specific topic,
• 16:15
  or, you know, further learning.
• 16:17
  I have those for you. And I do
• 16:20
  list them by numbers, but they're also available directly in the course.
• 16:24
  So you never have to leave the course and go to the podcast app.
• 16:27
  But they're all in there. Every single week, I give you exactly what to do because
• 16:33
  I don't want you to be overwhelmed.
• 16:34
  I want you to be able to take action and to start now.
• 16:39
  Like I said last week, you want to be able to start now and start small.
• 16:44
  Don't let summer derail your health.
• 16:48
  Don't let the start of school derail your health. Don't let a vacation derail
• 16:53
  your health. Your health is really important.
• 16:55
  And by doing small steps, you can prioritize your health no matter what's going on.
• 17:02
  Sometimes it might be as small as taking some deep diaphragmatic breaths.
• 17:07
  And that is what you can do today. But at the same time, you are prioritizing
• 17:13
  what you can do. And that counts.
• 17:16
  So hop into the app right now or as soon as possible and start now. Now, start small.
• 17:22
  Start with the Hashimoto's Decoded free course and then move to the next step.
• 17:26
  I want you to be able to make progress. I don't want you to be stuck.
• 17:30
  I don't want you to feel like you are throwing spaghetti at the wall. Have you ever done that?
• 17:36
  I just thought it was a phrase that people said for the longest time and then
• 17:41
  somebody actually did it. And I was like, oh, wait, what?
• 17:43
  Like you actually throw spaghetti at the wall? So if you don't know about it,
• 17:48
  And that's how some people test to see if their spaghetti is ready.
• 17:51
  Because if you throw a spaghetti noodle at the wall, and it's not ready yet,
• 17:55
  it will just hit the wall and bounce off.
• 17:57
  And if it's ready, it's a little stickier, and it will stick to the wall.
• 18:00
  So funny, when I first learned that, I was like, Oh, my goodness,
• 18:04
  you actually have spaghetti on your wall.
• 18:06
  And I mean, they did not keep it on the wall for long. They just threw it up somewhere.
• 18:11
  You know, checked to see if it would stick and then took it down.
• 18:13
  But it just cracked me up.
• 18:15
  So anyway, I don't want you to be doing that. Throwing spaghetti at the wall
• 18:18
  to see what sticks and what works and then what doesn't, what just bounces off.
• 18:23
  You don't want to do that in your health. You don't have time for that. You are busy.
• 18:26
  Like you have so many different things that you're doing and you do not have time to feel less than.
• 18:33
  I don't want you to feel less than. When people talk to me and they describe
• 18:36
  how they feel, sometimes they just cry and they say, I feel less than myself.
• 18:42
  I don't feel worthy. I feel like I am constantly failing. I feel like I'm constantly coming up short.
• 18:49
  I cannot be the person who I needed to be. And the tears just come.
• 18:55
  I don't want that for you. I want you to find hope and to find solutions that
• 19:00
  are going to work for you.
• 19:02
  And that is exactly what you're going to get in the Holistic Hashimoto's course.
• 19:06
  Us one week at a time. You're going to know exactly what to do.
• 19:08
  You're going to get your solutions. You're going to be able to make progress.
• 19:12
  You are worth it. Head down to the show notes and click the link so you can
• 19:16
  join now and start today.
• 19:18
  Remember, start small, start now.
• 19:21
  And clicking that enroll button is one way to start small.
