In honour of International Thyroid Awareness Month, I’ve dedicated this week’s blog to all thing hypothyroid (or Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis) 💙It’s a condition that affects an extraordinary number of folks - for people with periods, it’s now estimated that 1 in 8 women will have a thyroid problem in their lifetime., Its progression can be slow and subtle, and it’s challenging to get an early diagnosis from conventional medicine.Folks can have elevated thyroid autoantibodies (a sensitive marker for Hashimoto’s) for eight years before thyroid labs are considered “abnormal” or thyroid symptoms obvious enough for a doctor to take note of.I’ve had the same conversation with many clients experiencing fatigue, weight gain, depression, fertility struggles or repeated miscarriages, heavy periods that they were told antidepressants, a diet, the pill or IVF were their options.Understandably, they feel dismissed, judged, ashamed, hopeless or overlooked. This. Needs. To. Change!The earlier this condition is picked up, the better chances of reversing the insidious symptoms associated with it. Because, yes, you can reverse it. And yes, you can do it naturally. Early intervention is KEY.👉 Link in Bio for the full post where I’ll go into getting a diagnosis (and x2 DIY tests), specific nutrients, therapeutic foods and when to get help.Links mentioned: - A Naturopath's Simple and Easy Tips for Natural Treatment for Hypothyroidism - https://www.clarabailey.com/2021/05/19/holistic-treatment-root-causes-of-hashimotos-hypothyroidism- Healing After a Season of Stress Webinar - https://mediatrix-wellness.mykajabi.com/registration-page-stress-webinarStay in touch: - Newsletter sign up - www.clarabailey.com/signup- Instagram - @clarabailey__
