It's been a while since I've done an interview with fellow Hashimoto-ers - what a great time to host another show like this! 

Many people have a lot of fears around diet changes, they doubt that food can really matter, some are more interested in tweaking their medications alone and resist the power of detoxification, food, sleep and self-love. 

My hope for this show is to give hope and inspire all of you to make the changes necessary to progress in your healing journeys - it can happen and it doesn't have to be that hard.

Today I'll be interviewing a few thyroid thrivers about:
The key changes they made that made the biggest differenceThe biggest fears and hesitations they had on this pathWhat will they be working on in the future?Their words of encouragement to the community
