I used to see my otherwise perfectly healthy mother struggle with underactive thyroid signs and symptoms such as stubborn, unwanted belly fat, fatigue and constipation. Through my nursing career and friendships I have encountered an amazing amount of women and men suffering from this diagnosis to the detriment of their wellbeing. The worst part is that most people only see one option which is to take synthetic medication that is hard for our bodies to absorb and assimilate.

When my mother was hospitalized after a car accident in her nineties, breaking 18 bones, I was by her side day in and day out and I was instrumental on what was being given to her body. I was her advocate and interestingly enough, she was able to walk out of the hospital and her Thyroid levels had normalized to the point where she didn’t need medicine anymore. This is when I realized that diligence in diet, activity and ongoing support can really make a difference.

The outcome of this miracle was renewed energy, riding a bike downtown and back for the first time, the desire to exercise everyday, body weight balance and more regularity. If this can happen for my mother in her mid-nineties, I know that it can happen for others and I am inspired to help.
