Water from mountain streams and springs formed beautiful geometric […]

The Healing Journey

The Healing Journey

After being diagnosed with thryoid cancer and Hashimoto’s disease at age 28, I found that I had to take an active role in my healing process in order to feel better. Here’s a preview about my initial discoveries in what helped me regain an active and healthy lifestyle after recovering from thyroid cancer, Hashimoto’s disease and hypothyroidism. More details will come on each of these topics later on this website, so keep checking back! Balance your meds. It’s incredible to me how much of a difference ½ a tablet per week of levothyroxine can make. A change in either direction can be a difference of hyperthyroid symptoms vs hypothyroid symptoms. As I worked toward balancing my medications, fatigue was the most common symptom for me. I also discovered that while it may seem that you would have more energy being slightly over medicated in a hyperthyroid state, you can actually be fatigued with either hyperthyoidism or hypothyroidism. My endocrinologist used the analogy of hyperthyoidism being like you’re running a marathon everyday – of course you’re going to be tired! Visit your primary care provider on a regular basis and definitely have them review your blood work (thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroxine […]

Beauty Without Toxins

Beauty Without Toxins

A few days after I was recovering from my thyroidectomy surgery, I was struggling to sleep. So, as I often do during sleepless nights (not recommended), I went down the Internet rabbit hole in search of reasons why I may have gotten thyroid cancer and/or why I may have developed Hashimoto’s Disease. While I didn’t get to the bottom of either mystery, what I stumbled across was alarming. There were toxins in almost all of my beauty products and household cleaners. Here’s what you need to know: Visit the Environmental Working Group’s cosmetic database, Skin Deep. They’ve tested over 65,000 products to date and rank the products by toxicity level and will tell you what ingredients you should watch out for. They also have an app so you can scan labels while you’re at the store to take a lot of guesswork and memorization out of this. Know your toxins. Here’s a few of the biggies: Parabens: Used in a variety of products and acts as a preservative. It is suspected to be an endocrine and reproductive disrupter, and may be a human carcinogen. Phthalates: Found in color cosmetics, lotions, nail polish, body washes and hair care products. It is suspected […]

Why Sleep Deprivation is Detrimental to Your Health

Why Sleep Deprivation is Detrimental to Your Health

Sleep deprivation can cause brain damage. Also, going 24 hours without sleep can make you as insulin resistant as a type II diabetic. I know sleep is a boring topic, but did this get your attention? I never knew how serious sleep was until I listened to this podcast with Chalene Johnson and nutrition expert Shawn Stevenson. Chalene did a sleep study at The Amen Clinic, only to find that she had severely damaged her brain through chronic sleep deprivation (don’t worry, this can be reversed). I’ll never forget this image of her brain scan showing the damage that she did with 20+ years of sleeping five hours per night. For more info on the science behind this, check out Shawn’s book, Sleep Smarter, which goes into more detail on why sleep is critical to our health, along with 21 tips on how to get a better night’s sleep. As far as my personal journey goes, I used to be a prime example of what not to do. Although chronic anxiety and stress likely played a role in this for me, I was burning the candle at both ends for a good portion of my life. Even as a child, […]
