Many people in the medical field treat only a disease – not the person. They look at the symptoms, tell you what you have, and move forward with known treatments for that condition. But what if we looked deeper at what was really causing the symptoms? When our bodies are struggling with symptoms, it’s not always as simple as treating a disease. We have to look at what is truly happening in our lives and bodies, to bring the whole into health again. With Hashimoto's, there are some common threads on biological level, but many women have told me that before their thyroid symptoms began, there were other major things going on in their lives.
Let's have a look at what your body might be trying to tell you. Perhaps you'll find some insights that give you perspective and greater self-compassion as you walk your own thyroid healing journey.
