122 // Is Your Hashimoto’s Treatment Missing the Mark? Here’s How to Fix It · Health with Hashimoto’s - Thyroid or Immune Education for Autoimmune Thyroid Disease

0:00
Hey, welcome back to Health with Hashimoto's. This is episode 122.
0:04
Today, we're going to talk about how you get to the spot where you are waking
0:09
up with energy. You're not waking up looking forward to a nap already.
0:12
You're waking up with renewed energy. You're waking up with clear focus and
0:16
going through your day with clear focus.
0:19
Can you imagine that? How long has it been since you had a day where you just
0:23
felt full of purpose and where you could accomplish what you wanted to accomplish,
0:28
you know, within reason.
0:30
I know that we all tend to want to do more than we have time for in a day,
0:34
but that's different than not
0:36
having the energy for it because your Hashimoto's has sucked it from you.
0:40
Let's talk today about how to get to that spot. Before we do though.
0:43
I want to tell you about like Black Friday sales for some of the different products
0:48
that we have talked about on this podcast.
0:50
So if you're not interested in that, skip forward a couple minutes.
0:53
I have talked about only products that I have used and personally have benefited from.
0:59
Number one, let's talk about the Black Friday sale that I will be hosting on
1:03
the Health or the Holistic Hashimoto's course.
1:06
That is my course that's usually $197 right now, and it's going to be $20 off for Black Friday.
1:14
I will start that sale probably on Monday, so Monday the 25th,
1:19
and it will go through the next Monday, which we call Cyber Monday.
1:23
And that will be automatically applied when you log into school.
1:27
So school.com, S-K-O-O-L.com. It'll be in the Health with Hashimoto's community.
1:32
You go to the classroom and it will automatically be there.
1:35
You will see that the price will be down to $177 for that Black Friday week.
1:42
So that's sale number one.
1:44
Another product that I have talked about is my CalmiGo.
1:47
That was episode 109. I talked about this little device. It's handheld and it
1:52
involves all of your senses.
1:54
Well, not taste. It involves most of your senses to lower your stress response,
1:59
to get you out of the fight and flight sympathetic response and into your rest
2:04
and digest parasympathetic stress response.
2:06
That's where we want to be. That's where our body thrives. That is how we are
2:10
going to increase our overall health.
2:13
And the Call Me Go is a little tiny device to help you do that quickly.
2:17
I really like it. So the CalmiGo will be $70 off during Black Friday.
2:23
Watch that for the sale. And the link to all of these will be down in the show notes.
2:29
Also, you can follow Call Me Go on all of their social media.
2:32
I think on Instagram, they're my Call Me Go.
2:35
And I'm sure they'll be posting about the sale there.
2:38
So the next place that I have talked about, I've talked about Fullscript,
2:42
and that is kind of like the Amazon of good quality supplements.
2:46
Please do not buy your supplements from Amazon.
2:48
The quality control is questionable at best on Amazon.
2:54
They don't have policies and procedures in place that I am aware of to call
2:59
out the counterfeits and the products that just are marketing and no actual...
3:06
You know, help. Fullscript does have those in place.
3:09
And they are a spot where I personally feel like I can order anything on the
3:14
Fullscript site and get a quality supplement.
3:17
Now, I do really dig through it to make sure that I am getting my.
3:22
Like, the best when I'm looking for fish oil on Fullscript.
3:26
I evaluate how much EPA and how much DHA is in their Fullscript or in each capsule.
3:33
And I evaluate based on capsule because I have a family of six.
3:37
And when I'm filling everybody's little supplement containers,
3:40
I give everybody one capsule. I do not give everybody one full serving.
3:44
So when I am evaluating fish oil on Fullscript, I will look at the EPA and the
3:50
DHA and the milligrams of fish oil per capsule. And then I will evaluate that per price or for cost.
3:57
And I will also double check that each one has been, you know,
4:01
third party verified and tested that it's really good quality fish oil,
4:05
because a lot of the fish oil on the market is, is really gross. It's already rancid.
4:10
It's not good. So Fullscript, I'm sure will have a sale.
4:14
I don't have any knowledge of that right now. I have not seen anything come
4:18
through on my email, but I'm sure that I will.
4:22
And I'm sure that when you go to Fullscript, you will see something.
4:26
So again, links down in the comments. Oh, another thing for Fullscript is they
4:30
now carry the full line of seed. I have talked about seed before.
4:35
It is my favorite synbiotic, S-Y-N, as in synergy.
4:40
The synbiotic they have, it's a prebiotic and a probiotic together.
4:44
Now, when you're planting a garden, you need good soil and you need good seeds.
4:48
If your soil is poor, but you have good seeds, your harvest is going to be not great.
4:52
If your soil is great, but you have good,
4:54
poor seeds, your harvest is not going to be great.
4:58
The same thing with pre and probiotics. The prebiotics are like the soil of
5:02
your gut and the probiotics are like the seeds.
5:05
So we need both good soil and good seeds.
5:08
And that is what a symbiotic does. It puts the pre and the probiotics together.
5:13
Seed has it in the same capsule. Some companies sell them as different products,
5:17
but you can take them together.
5:18
When you take them together, the research tells us that you get a better outcome.
5:25
So it's not one plus one equals two, but it's one plus one equals five or seven or 10 or 50.
5:30
That's symbiotic relationship. So Fullscript now carries the full range of the seed products.
5:38
That is the adult symbiotic.
5:40
They have a pediatric one, which is a powder.
5:42
You open a little packet and pour it in. I do use that one for my kids,
5:47
even my 13 year old. So he's technically a teenager.
5:50
I just find it really easy. And honestly, they all like it.
5:54
They say that it tastes like old cereal milk when you've had a sugary cereal,
5:59
and then it's just the milk left.
6:02
They say that's what it tastes like, and they all enjoy it. So we use the pediatric.
6:06
My husband and I use the adult. And they also now have a vaginal probiotic.
6:12
I'm not sure if it's a pre and pro.
6:14
It's crazy. More than half of women, I believe it's over half,
6:18
struggle with problems, you know, down there.
6:22
Bacterial vaginosis is so very common and some people get medications for it.
6:28
Some people suffer through it.
6:29
Some people find they get it all the time and they need medications frequently.
6:33
Try the seed probiotic, the vaginal probiotic. It goes in with an applicator
6:39
kind of like a tampon and it dissolves.
6:41
I have been recommending it to some of my personal friends who have told me
6:44
that they have had, they've struggled with reoccurring bacterial vaginosis.
6:50
And I followed up with one of them and she said, it's amazing.
6:53
So take that for what it's worth. I have not tried that myself.
6:57
I have only read the research from Seed.
7:00
I have not done independent research
7:01
or reading on it, but it looks like a quality thing if you need it.
7:05
And a lot of my friends do need it. So those are all available on Fullscript.
7:10
Now here's the thing about Seed. They give me one discount coupon at a time.
7:15
I cannot give you a discount link down in the show notes, but if you know that
7:20
you want to order from Seed and you want to have like a recurring subscription,
7:26
let me know. Send me a message on Instagram.
7:29
And like I said, I have one discount code at a time.
7:33
And I will be happy to share that with you. Or you can get it on Fullscript
7:37
using whatever sale they have.
7:39
And that way, if you're already buying other stuff, you know,
7:41
vitamin D or fish oil, things like that, then you can get it all together.
7:45
Whichever way is easier for you and more cost effective. But feel free to send
7:49
me a message either in our school community, or a direct message on school,
7:53
S-K-O-O-L.com, or on Instagram.
7:56
I am at health.with.hashimoto's on Instagram.
8:01
All right. The last place that, nope, there's two more. Another place that we
8:04
have talked about on the podcast is Ulta Labs.
8:07
And that's if you're going to order your own lab work, then go to Ulta and you
8:12
can get the best price for all of the labs that I have found.
8:15
I will have the link down below. I'm going to have a link to their sales page.
8:20
They are always 100% of the time running sales on different bundles and different packages.
8:26
I am 100% positive that they will have a Black Friday sale. It is not open yet,
8:31
and they did not email me to let me know what's coming.
8:34
So I will have the link down below to their sales page. If you want any labs, check that out.
8:40
And then the last sale that I have to let you know about is from Horatio Printing.
8:45
That is the dream planner that I talked about last week.
8:47
Actually, everything on the Horatio Printing site is going to be 20% off for
8:52
Black Friday. If you're going to buy more than one planner, there's a different
8:56
code to use and you can save 30%. So Black Friday is the code that you're going to use.
9:01
In the email that I got this week,
9:03
she already said that some of the 2025 planners, the inventory is low.
9:09
So if you're going to get one of the dream planners, head over there and get
9:13
that as soon as possible.
9:15
All right, so those are all the Black Friday sales that I know that are coming up.
9:18
The Call Me Go, Fullscript, Ulta Labs, and the dream planner,
9:22
and of course, the Holistic Hashimoto's course is going to be $20 off.
9:28
All right, so enough chitchat about all of the Black Friday sales.
9:32
You can come and join the school community and I will make a post or you can
9:36
make a post about your favorite Black Friday sales because I'm sure that there
9:40
are other health tools that will be on sale.
9:42
And you know, if you find a good deal, come and tell everybody else about it.
9:45
We all want to know, where are you in your Hashimoto's journey?
9:50
Did you just find out that you have Hashimoto's or maybe you don't even know yet?
9:54
I just talked to somebody the other day in the school community sending messages.
9:59
And she thinks she has it. She's looked at her labs.
10:01
She has an appointment, but she just keeps getting the runaround.
10:04
Like her regular doctor is like, oh, okay, these things are concerning.
10:08
You need to go see this specialist. And the other specialist is like,
10:11
well, you need to go see the endocrinologist.
10:12
She's still waiting to find out if she has Hashimoto's. She's had the lab work
10:16
and she's had the runaround.
10:17
Maybe you're in that spot where you're not quite sure you have it.
10:21
You think maybe, but you don't have an official diagnosis yet. It's okay.
10:24
I'm going to still help you. Maybe you are in the spot where you just found
10:28
out that you have Hashimoto's,
10:29
or maybe you've had it for a long time and you just found out that it's an autoimmune thing,
10:34
or maybe you've had it for a long time and you're finally sick and tired of
10:38
just that quick band-aid approach from your doctor and you want to figure out
10:42
how to feel like yourself again.
10:45
Because nobody wants to wake up feeling like you're running on empty every single
10:49
day. Like you wake up just waiting to go to sleep again.
10:52
That is not a fun way to live. It is, it's draining. You're already drained
10:57
and now you've got that on top of it.
11:00
Also, it's super frustrating to be overwhelmed and have this contradictory advice
11:06
from the quote experts or even just the social media experts.
11:10
There is a really good chance, whether you have had your diagnosis for a short
11:14
time, no time at all, or a very long time, there's a good chance that you have
11:18
been already met with a flood of advice and most of it confusing or contradictory.
11:24
That's so frustrating and I have been there for sure.
11:28
When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto's, I felt like my body had just betrayed
11:32
me because it wasn't working how I wanted it to.
11:35
I was exhausted, I was overwhelmed, and then I was drowning in information.
11:40
Before I figured out thyroid stuff, I was so confused with the information,
11:45
with all the labs, and I've shared my story in other episodes,
11:48
I just felt like things weren't working.
11:51
My body wasn't working. My brain wasn't working. My emotions weren't working.
11:55
For a lot of people, their metabolism isn't working. Their weight isn't working.
11:59
There's so many things that just feel like they are falling short.
12:03
And if you are nodding along to any of those things, feeling the same fatigue.
12:07
Frustration, confusion, I want you to know that there is a way out.
12:13
You do not have to feel like you are stuck in a never-ending cycle of struggle.
12:18
The struggle of confusion with trying to figure out your symptoms,
12:22
trying to figure out the guidance, because the guidance, like I said, is conflicting.
12:26
And also that struggle of feeling like you are alone.
12:30
You're navigating this journey alone. And then there's the constant cycle of
12:35
your symptoms, the brain fog, the mood swings, the stubborn weight gain,
12:39
the fatigue, all these things that we've already mentioned.
12:42
But here's the thing, you don't have to live like this. There is hope.
12:47
The problem with traditional approaches, when you go to see your doctor,
12:51
they are going to be surface level. They're going to be like symptom management.
12:55
They're going to test your TSH. Hopefully they're testing more and they're going
12:59
to say, oh, you're really tired. your TSH is too high.
13:02
So here's a prescription for some Synthroid or Levothyroxine.
13:06
Come back in a little while. We'll recheck your labs and we'll go from there.
13:10
But what they are not telling you.
13:12
Is that's not helping the root cause. That's not addressing the real problem.
13:17
Yes, it's addressing the symptoms. When you take medications like levothyroxine
13:23
or Synthroid or Armor, these things will hopefully help your energy and they
13:27
will help all of the symptoms because they are helping the thyroid.
13:31
They're helping your body have enough thyroid hormones so that it can work well.
13:35
But doctors are so busy and they hand out those prescriptions without addressing the root causes.
13:41
And so that approach while it's
13:44
useful like you it gets you back
13:47
to functioning again it's not
13:50
the long-term fix that you need you need
13:54
to know why you're feeling like this and when I realized this it became my mission
13:59
to find a better way because that's why I left the ER is so that I didn't have
14:05
to keep putting short-term band-aids on chronic things yes in the emergency
14:08
department we also see you know, trauma and accident victims.
14:13
You know, falls, things like that, that are actually emergent.
14:16
But then we see a lot of chronic things that get to the point of,
14:21
we need to fix this right now.
14:22
So it's an emergency, but it's really a chronic medical condition.
14:26
And we were not, we were not, and they still are not helping in the ER.
14:30
They're not helping people get to the root.
14:32
And that's why I left the emergency department, because I knew I wanted to help
14:36
people actually figure out what was going on and to take control of their own health.
14:42
They're doctors on their advisory team, but you are in control of your health
14:46
and you might not feel equipped to be in control.
14:50
Like I don't have enough information. I don't know what I'm doing.
14:52
And that is why I created the Holistic Hashimoto's course.
14:55
It's not a one size fits all program. It's a guided journey In every single
15:01
part of the course, I give you options for how to customize this for you.
15:07
So here's what you're going to get inside of the course.
15:10
Everything is designed to help you uncover the root causes and take control of your health.
15:16
All right, so real quick, here's what you're going to find in the four weeks of the course.
15:20
Week one is assess and align. You're going to figure out what's going on.
15:26
You're going to take a whole person inventory of your health.
15:29
You're going to pick specific triggers so that you can focus on what matters
15:33
most to supercharge your progress.
15:36
And then in week two is connect and strengthen week.
15:40
Your body, mind, and spirit are deeply connected. And I don't say that in a woo-woo kind of way.
15:47
It's a fact. Your body, mind, and your spirit are deeply connected.
15:51
In this week, week two, you're going to learn about how stress impacts your thyroid.
15:55
You're going to explore simple and effective techniques to reduce it.
15:58
And you're going to start to build some resilience.
16:01
Week three is about nourishing and supporting your gut.
16:05
We're talking about diet because diet is a powerful tool, but figuring out what
16:10
to eat, it shouldn't be overwhelming and it usually is. And so I want to take
16:14
that overwhelm out of it.
16:16
In week three, you're going to take an honest look at how you're eating,
16:19
what you're eating, and how that impacts you.
16:22
And then you are going to choose which changes to make to support your thyroid
16:26
and to support your immune system without guilt or shame.
16:29
There is no guilt or shame in this program.
16:32
Week four is all about detox and renew.
16:36
We're going to talk about your bathroom, about your home, about the outdoors,
16:39
all the toxins that surround us.
16:42
And importantly, you're going to learn practical ways to reduce your exposures
16:46
to toxins and how to support your liver because the liver does the bulk of your detox for your body.
16:53
And we want your liver to be able to do its job effectively.
16:56
That's what you're going to find in the four weeks. Obviously,
16:58
just a really quick overview of those four weeks.
17:01
That's what you're going to find in the Holistic Hashimoto's course.
17:04
And this course works because of my background, honestly.
17:09
It works because I understand Western medicine. I understand, you know, the labs.
17:14
I understand the medications. I understand what's going on in the traditional
17:19
approach to autoimmune care and to thyroid care.
17:24
And then I also understand the holistic view, body, mind, spirit,
17:30
diet, environment, how it's all connected, how it all makes a difference in
17:34
your health, and how to empower you to make those decisions.
17:38
You're not going to feel lost or alone anymore. In this course,
17:42
you're going to have a clear path. You're going to have tools to help you regain energy.
17:47
You're going to get your focus back and control over your health.
17:51
So imagine this scenario. Picture yourself waking up and you've got energy.
17:55
Imagine the day where your brain fog doesn't steal your focus. Your mood feels steady.
18:02
And you actually are enjoying your food, knowing that it's something that is
18:08
helping you be healthier. You're not having any guilt. You're not having any confusion.
18:12
This course is not just about reducing symptoms.
18:16
The course is about transformation. I want you to become a woman or man,
18:21
whoever is listening. I want you to become someone who understands your body.
18:27
I want you to trust your knowledge and your choices about your health.
18:32
I want you to be empowered to create lasting health, lasting wellness.
18:39
And that is what you're going to get in the Holistic Hashimoto's course.
18:42
