Due to the high volume of emails I receive (because of this video) asking for support I want to provide some helpful tips and answers to frequently asked questions below:
1. If you are newly diagnosed or not seeing progress with your current plan, I would suggest seeking out an Integrative Doctor, Functional Medical Doctor or Naturopathic Doctor. This health professional can run tests to help get to the root cause of your thyroid imbalance and provide the right / custom supplements for your health state and thyroid needs :)
2. If you have questions about what to nutrition and supplements for your thyroid health I highly recommend working with an RDN who has expertise in thyroid and gut health.
We offer virtual nutrition coaching at Healthy Grocery Girl. Our lead Dietitian is Jeni Hollifield and she is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Gut Health Expert and mainly works with clients for gut health, thyroid health and plant-based nutrition.
You can learn more about our services here: www.healthygrocerygirl.com/se...
Or book a FREE discovery call to connect with Jeni, ask questions and see if you'd be a good fit work together by contacting us here: www.healthygrocerygirl.com/co...
3. Continue to learn all that you can about autoimmune conditions, thyroid health and gut health from reputable and credentialed health care professionals. Nutrition and a health plan is not one-size-fits-all, so what may work for one person, may not be the best path for you. It can be a journey to find what foods, supplements etc support YOUR body best.
4. Stress reduction is a very important component for overall health. Find ways to lower stress in a healthy way. Work on emotional and mental wellness, which can affect your physical health as well.
Hi Friends! Today we're heading back to 2015 where my story begins.
To be honest, I am really nervous to publish this video. It's not easy to be vulnerable on the internet and to share something so personal. I know there are also various opinions about leaky gut / candida. In this video, I am sharing the information I was presented by my Naturopathic Doctor and the treatment plan I chose to follow.
My hope by sharing this video is that if someone is going through a thyroid, fertility or health struggle that they do not feel so alone in their journey.
This not medical advice. Please always consult with your healthcare professional for personal guidance and before beginning any new herb or supplement.
Wishing you the very best with your thyroid journey!!!!

Quick Summary
1:00 started trying for a baby with her husband. After a year, it still was not happening and she started feeling frustrated. Decided to do some tests with a fertility doctor. Her blood work came back as normal except thyroid.
3:27 she was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, autoimmune disease known as graves. Solutions was surgery, medication, etc. was told there was nothing that could be done as far as food.
4:50 she felt this wasn’t true as a dietitian but she dove into research.
5:30 She found and met with a naturopathic doctor specializing in autoimmune issues. Ran more tests. Food allergies, heavy metals.
Don’t remember which metal it was but one was high.
Some food allergies. Not true allergies, but leaky gut and Candida. Which elicits an immune response.
7:15 decided to focus on healing the gut. 70% of immune system resides in the gut.
8:03 natural treatment plan
8:45 What they implemented. Heavy metal detox. Taking supplements to excrete the metals out of my body. You can’t eat an hour before the pill.
9:25 food allergy test. She had 19 different foods. To help lower the immune response.
10:00 herbs for Candida. And leaky gut.
10:20 a diet for gut health - which included 0 grams of added sugar
Very low on starch consumption. To help starve Candida and bacteria.
11:00 she was eating vegan at the time. So it was a lot of starchy foods.
So overtime her diet transformed to a blend of fish and vegetables.
12:18 not saying this is an ideal diet. This is what worked best for her.
12:42 she incorporated bone broth. Cooking rice with bone broth and hot water.
13:10 the herb didn’t taste great but helped for hyperthyroidism.
13:25 mugwort, motherwort, lemon balm.
Not recommended for when trying to conceive, pregnant, or breast feeding.
It felt better working with a naturopathic doctor who specialized in thyroid .
16:00 vitamin d supplements
16:16 low impact exercises. No running. More walking and yoga.
17:05 implemented essential oils
Frankincense, mrryh,
18:10 worked to lessen her toxic load. More natural products. Skincare, hair care etc.
18:55 she remembered crying. Trying to order a smoothie and it was too much sugar.
Felt deprived and frustrated. It was very overwhelming.
It took time to find new foods that she enjoyed eating.
21:10 she remembers people telling her she’s so focused. They couldn’t go months not eating sugar. She thought that was easy. She’d rather have a baby than eat a cookie.
She wanted to feel if she went those other routes that she’d gave it her best shot.
23:00 every month she was getting blood draws. So after following the plan for 6 months her levels went back to normal.
23:50 started trying acupuncture for fertility. She stopped taking the herbal blend since her levels were back to normal.
She felt really tired, but was late on period.
24:20 she checked the pregnancy test and it was positive. Finally after 2 years. A blend of joy and anxiety and overwhelm.
27:10 she gets her thyroid checked about twice a year unless she’s feeling extra rundown. They’ve been good since.
27:50 it’s a hard exhausting lonely emotional journey. People don’t know how to support you. People don’t know how to be there for you. You don’t know how to ask for help.
Thank you!
Thank you very much for summarizing!
Because of you, I am now in REMISSION from graves disease! I found your video in January of 2023 (watched it multiple times when I was feeling down and hopeless) and as of last week, I found out from a random blood draw, that I am in REMISSION! I did not do everything you did, BUT you gave me hope that I could do this! I focused on healing my gut, getting healthy, and autophagy! I have a long way to go, keeping myself in remission, but I'm on the right track! Thanking you and God for answering my prayers and helping me. For those reading this, you CAN do this! I will say that, I did not take any medicine, but I would have if it got out of control. Just because you are taking the medicine, doesn't mean you can't still heal yourself and get off it. ❤️
CONGRATULATIONS!! So happy for you!!
@@HealthyGroceryGirl thank you so much! ❤️
Hi ladyeeuanna7220, I have Grave disease and hyperthyroidism. I am very worried. I couldn’t find much information on fasting and Grave disease. You’ve mentioned autophagy, did you do fasting? How long do you fast? Water fast or dry fast? Thank you.
@@Maxmath315 hi there, first off, check with your doctor before you do a fast. I checked with mine before I did anything! I did two, 3 day fasts where I only drank water, lemon water, and green tea. Nothing else. If you look up gut health and autophagy you should get some good sources that come up.
@@Maxmath315 I fast for 3 days 3 nights no water and my goiter shrank tremendously
I was diagnosed with Graves disease in 2019. I was blindsided. I had a few thyroid storms, extreme anxiety, heart palpatations, trimmers, memory loss and was put on Methimazole which made me have hair loss. It turned my world upside down and I cried for two years. I was 50 years old and felt like a million bucks in June and in July, I could barely walk or breathe. I was terrified! I feel comfort in knowing that I'm not alone. I wish everyone on this channel, great health, hope and love.❤🌻
My greatest joy ❤️ was find Dr Isibor a holistic herbal doctor I am so strong and happy 😁 his Alternative treatment shrink my thyroid goiter and Curd PCOS problems
Hi Emily! Thank you for sharing your story! It really can be so overwhelming, emotionally / mentally / physically exhausting when our health is not in balance. I am so sorry to hear that you've gone through such hard moments. You sound like a truly positive and encouraging person despite your hardships! Thank you for bringing some kindness with your comment and encouragement for others!!
@@HealthyGroceryGirl You're welcome. Thank you for providing others with information about this disease and giving us hope.🌻🥰
How are you doing now Emily?
@@simplymamle7236 Hello, thank you for asking. I am doing better but still get tired very easily and my hair is slowly growing back. I take vitamins and that helps tremendously. Love and peace to you and all who are going through something.🌻
Two years ago I managed to live well again living with Graves' Disease by taking 1000mg L-Carnitine Tartrate daily, with 90% reductions in nervousness, dizziness, headaches and sweating. My silver bullet.
So glad to hear you found a solution that works well for your body and has improved your health and symptoms!
Hi just wanted to say a big thank you because today, 8 months after I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism/Graves' Disease I am happy to report that my latest thyroid panel reports have come back as 'normal no action needed'. I feel so indebted to you because all those months ago I was in a tailspin of anxiety and worry. I'd been given the usual options by my endocrinologist, which were really 'no options' for me at any rate and was feeling very low. Then thankfully I found your video and that took away the worry. Watching it, I thought 'I've found the path I need to follow' and just did it. Your video was so important to me because there aren't many people out there doing positive videos dealing with how you can save your thyroid through nutrition. Infact I could only find ONE other. So I am endlessly thankful to you for doing this video. Everything you say is spot on and I am thrilled to say it works! Bless you
Wow Peter that is amazing! Congratulations on your thyroid panel results being within the normal range! That deserves to be celebrated and good job doing the work to help your body get there!! I had no idea sharing my own story would be so helpful to people. I remember when I was diagnosed I felt so alone and overwhelmed. It makes me so happy to hear my video has helped you feel less alone. Thank you for taking the time to share this with me!
Is it normal with medication? Or with naturopathy?
Hello, I'm Turkish, I don't understand what you're saying
Your contact i will like to connect with you please on my thyroid issue
@@jaiganeshanvelmurugan8406 Just diet, I never took any medication.
I cried while watching this, thank you for sharing your journey. I'm starting to lose hope and accepting what will possible happen to me. I was only a 22years old working student when I noticed that something was wrong with my body, I thought it was just fatigue because I'm a working student and I usually drink coffee then I noticed that my eyes were bulging, I'm catching my breath even just when I'm walking so I decided to go to the hospital for a check up and got diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. My self-esteem goes down knowing that even before I got this grave disease I have Onychophagia, insomnia and anxiety already. I think because I grew up in a family that mistakes are not usual, they will call you anything more than others can call you. However, my family didn't know about all of that, so it doubled the struggle I have in this lifetime but I still manage to ignore the symptoms because I'm taking medication already. I'm an achiever, and I love to please my parents, usually quiet even if they are scolding for making a mistake, I'm afraid that they will be ashamed because of me. Little did I know that in this disease, irate and anxiety were one of the symptoms, I don't want to make them worry because of me they will not buy it they will think you're just having a pity party haha. My family called me an addict I think because my eyes were bulging? but I'm not, they made fun of my feelings while crying, dramatic because I can't take their insults anymore. I think I don't have someone to talk to and I don't usually tell my friends all of my problems. Thank you Ms., I hope I can be like you in this battle ❤
Wow! Facing same here with church members
Same with me. My sister believes that I’m sick but she makes fun of me being emotional. She says I’m extra dramatic and a cry baby. Well, I’ve been emotional but now I’m more expressive with both sadness and anger lol. But it sucks that she doesn’t understand with this condition our hormones are out of whack. I’m due for an ultrasound and to meet with the endocrinologist. I’m nervous and have so much anxiety. I feel like all I’m getting is bad news every visit 😢. But this video has given me light and knowledge that I must reconnect with my body and treat it well. I wish you all love and support during this struggle. 🙏🏽🩷
Good for you for sharing this video even though you felt nervous and anxious to do so. We all need all the encouragement and support we can get, especially when we're feeling ill and vulnerable. I'm sure that many people will find your video helpful and comforting for them. Well done Megan
You're so kind! Thank you Heather!!
I got teary eyed as I watched your video. I felt that I have company ( I am not alone) with Grave's disease. Thank you. You're a blessing!
Our health struggles can be so consuming and take such an emotional toll! I'm so glad my video could bring you some encouragement and help you not feel alone in your journey! Wishing you so much health and peace in your own journey!!
I’ve never felt more understood in my natural healing journey omg. People think I’m attention seeking because I don’t eat sugar or gluten I have such a restricted diet!!! If they only knew how much I wish I didn’t have to eat this way 😩 thank you so much for sharing this!!! It makes me super hopeful!!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Hi Anna! It's hard to not feel understand or to feel like you are unique in your dietary habits. Please know there are many people who eat gluten-free and are mindful of sugar or avoid it such as me! However, I can definitely relate. It's more common to find people who eat gluten and a high added sugar diet so it can be hard to find community. Here to support you!
Thank you for your video, I’m literally crying right now because of your encouragement. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroid earlier this year, accepting this fact alone was so hard for me and I also had to deal with a lot of symptoms. I feel hopeless most of the times because I feel like I’ll ended my 20s with a lot of medication and it scares me. But these recent months, I’m trying to learn and search another option and I’m still on the waiting list to consult with a naturopath. I’m trying hard to change my eating habits because I really really want a normal life and continue my study,.
And watching your video has bringing hope and a lot of encouragement for me! You’re such an amazing, strong and smart person, and now you’ve become a super cool mom that you’s childrens gonna be so proud of you! I’m so glad that I found your video! Thank you thank you so much for sharing your journey!💜
Hi Ally! That's so great you've reached out to a Naturopath! I hope she or he is a great fit and can help you find the root cause of your health issues! I definitely understand feeling defeated, frustrated and emotional by health struggles. You are doing your best and it's wonderful you're learning, researching and reaching out for help! I appreciate your kind words! You sound like a kind and wonderful person, keep that positive energy going and believe in your journey that you will see positive progress with your health!! xx
Me too dear am in the pain😭😭😭
omg, sameeee. so glad for this video, gives me hope to get off the meds and hopefully reverse their side effects 😔
bless you Megan for sharing and being so open, I know it will inspire so many x x x
Thank you Ceri so much! I appreciate your kindness!!
My misdiagnosis of Graves disease was, in fact aspartame poisoning. If you are consuming any "diet" or "sugar free" food or drink then you are ingesting aspartame. Apparently, it's not a problem for a lot of people but it's a problem for me I controlled the symptoms with medication for 6 months and was facing thyroid removal after a year. I started reading labels and avoiding aspartame. I returned to normal thyroid function free of medication within 90 days. My guiding research was a research paper published by two MDs at the Texas Heart Institute in Houston.
Hello.
Do you remember the name of the paper and where I can find it?
Hi there! I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism yesterday on 14/3. The MO refers me to see the endocrinologist on 17/3. In the meantime, i am doing my research and reading few materials. And i found your video. Thank you for sharing and the way u plan ur life is amazing. I’m inspired and i hope i will get better.
Who ever thought hypothyroidism can be cured Dr iyaremoses on CZcams have cured me completely from hypothyroidism..
It was great hearing your story, I am in the process of having testing done for hyperthyroidism. My TSH levels came back just lower than normal, my heart had been racing, so my doctor had me wear a heart monitor and is doing more testing on my heart first, I do not go back for a follow up for two more months, so I am going to try and get the ball rolling with her on more thyroid blood work. The swelling in my neck and up and down moods and rapid heart rate is so stressful, and the stress just makes it even worse. )': You worked so hard, God saw that and blessed you, I loved hearing that. ❤
I am going through this now. Been to so many doctors and finally and ER doctor figured it out. Definately my hero. I totally get what you mean another appt and another doctor, waiting another month. I had to quit my job cause my symptoms were so bad. I found a great specialist that I can tell genuinely cares unlike my family doctor who told me it was anxiety and asthma um no. I have totally changed my diet and now seeing a wellness doctor. Im pretty sure im going to have some severe ptsd that my symptoms will come back. I am working on healing mentally and physically as well as spiritually.
Hi! :) I just wanted to say that this was the most encouraging video I have ever seen concerning Grave’s. I’m a 17 year old girl, and come this December, I will have wrapped up one year of having Grave’s Disease. It’s been a really hard journey. It’s been doctor after doctor, tests after tests, and a lot of frustration. But after watching this video, I truly and finally felt like I wasn’t the only one with grave’s and that there areeee people out there who know exactly what it’s like! It can feel so lonely, because not many people or doctors know what is going on. But your story was so inspiring, so I thank you for making this video :) & I’m so happy you are remission!!! Praise The Father!
Hey, what were your symptoms before being diagnosed? I been getting strange symptoms such as, shaking hands, not being able to sleep at all, usually I used to have regular periods and now no periods, my heart beat would be beating so fast above 114 and I was worried and I also feel very hot. I spoke to the doctor and he booked for a thyroid test hoping that I find out what's wrong with me.
@@sumaiyah4292 Hi! So yes, I had all those EXACT symptoms. The first thing that made me wonder if something was up was my irregular cycles…I’d end up having like only two a year. Then back in August 2020 I was at a camp and suddenly started shaking, hyperventilating, and I couldn’t think, I felt like I was going insane. Then a few months down the road I randomly passed out. Then right after that, boom, full swing of shaky hands, crazy insomnia, my periods where almost nonexistent, and my resting heart rate was 120. I was also experiencing horrible itching problems, but no rash…just crazy itching sensations. Also my thyroid gland would start to swell up, and it always felt like someone was pushing on my throat. I’ve been on methimazole (thyroid medication) since December 2020, and some of my symptoms have gone down, but I still experience them, just to a lower degree. My endocrinologist would really like to for me to remove my thyroid, but you have to remember that the thyroid is the organ taking the brunt of something else. There is something else that is not right deeper in your body. I’ve started to see a naturopath, because I believe removing the thyroid is very rash and barbaric. When removing the thyroid you are removing a major organ, and not grave’s or hyperthyroidism. Now of course you might feel better, but you have to rely on medication for the rest of your life to now substitute for the missing thyroid. Do your research, I strongly encourage that. Read and read! There are great books out there on hyperthyroidism. And also! :) it’s gonna get better!! Methimazole has helped me a ton, but just know what you can only be on it for so long until it’ll start affecting your liver. So just be cautious. My mother has studied a lot of medical journals on graves and that is where most of our information has come from. Your thyroid controls hormone and bone production, don’t remove it unless there is no other route. Take every path. It’s hard, but fight for your health. 😊 whisking the best for you! Praying for your health!!
Hi Emma! I'm so happy to hear this video has been encouraging to you! I am so sorry to hear you are struggling with Graves. I can definitely relate to the frustration of many tests and appointments while trying to find a root cause and then solution. We do offer nutrition + wellness coaching at Healthy Grocery Girl if that would be of benefit. Our lead coach Jeni is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and certified gut health expert. Happy to schedule a free discovery call with you and your mom (I see you mentioned her below as a being a great support to you in this journey) to chat and see if that would be a good fit and answer your questions. Finding the right health care team to support you on this journey will be key. We'd love to help if it's a good fit for you. You can reach out here if interested :) www.healthygrocerygirl.com/contact/ Either way, wishing you the best on your health journey!! - Megan
You are my voice. Everything you've mentioned emotionally is everything I've felt. I'm on that same journey and I have hypo....it's emotionally harder than anything else and I admire your determination.
I will forever save this video. You are amazing!
Assalaamou ALAYKOUM, I do understand all of it ,I'm researching on Hiper but I do have hypo .I can with all that she said ,sadly sister could not have and my friend who hyper ,but it comes to research and the will game .I do fast a lot and I follow the low carb diet .The sleep is my big struggle and the pain but specifically the sleep, it is chaotic.but with tenacity it somehow pay of.Im in my menopause I'm a Mum of 3,young adolescents.
I'm so glad my video could be helpful in some way!! Health struggles can be so emotional, overwhelming and often leave us feeling alone in our journey!! Just know you are not alone and as you can see from the number of comments on this video, so many people have and are going through a thyroid imbalance, it's sadly very common. The good news is there are many options for helping to bring balance back to your health and thyroid, reduce symptoms and feel better!! I am wishing you total health and well-being in your journey!!
Thank you for sharing. I have a goiter and am currently repositioning my dieting and mental habits. ❤to you and your family ❤
I almost cried when I heard your back story because I went through all of this terribly, to the point where my mental health was so bad I needed to seek treatment for that on top of my physical health. At this point I will change whatever I need to change to get through this.
Hi Gwen! I am so sorry to hear the toll your health has taken on your physical but also emotional and mental well-being. I do applaud you for seeking help from a therapist because having someone to talk to and finding healthy ways to manage stress is SO important. Our physical and emotional health are connected! I personally continue to work on my own emotional and mental wellness because I know when I am very stressed, it affects me physically. Have you met with an ND or Integrative or Functional MD that specializes in thyroid health? They can provide guidance and help get to the root cause. An RDN who has expertise in thyroid health can also be an incredible resource as nutrition plays a big role in our health!
Thank you for sharing your story and your vulnerability and pain.
I have a totally different story. But, the fact that you were able to fix your body is so encouraging.
I’m glad you were able to have kids. You look so healthy and beautiful. I’m so grateful for this video. It encourages me that I can do this even though it feels a little hopeless and my doctors don’t encourage me.
It can be so discouraging and overwhelming when your health is not well. I have been there! Thank you for you kind words. I wanted to share that I am writing a Thyroid Balance Course to provide in-depth education on thyroid support from a holistic perspective. If interested, you can learn more here: bit.ly/3qToUHN It's my hope this course provides people with more education and tools to support their health and thyroid health from a holistic, functional medicine perspective.
I did a heavy metal detox…I cannot remember the doctors name but I simply followed his recommendations. My goodness after several months I felt so much better!
Yay!! So happy you found a plan that helped you feel better!
I wish you can remember :(
@@jer5435 Dr Don Colbert was the author. He has written a ton of books. One is What you don’t know may be killing you. Another is Get Healthy through Detox and fasting. Look at your library or Abebooks or Amazon.
Great! Would be good if you share your program.
I am amazed by the effectiveness of the herbal medicine I got from #driyaremoses on CZcams channel, in just two weeks of taking his herbal medication am was cured from hypothyroidism...
Thanks for sharing your great testimony that will definitely help many others whom care about their own overall health. Your due diligence paid off for yourself most importantly and your loveones.
Thank you!!
I'm happy you are back to feeling better. You gave me hope and encouraged me and sp many others to fight for their health. God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much! Wishing your total wellness in your health journey!!
I was diagnosed with Grave’s disease with possible parathyroid adenomas early last year. On top of that, my husband and I have walked through infertility for the last 5 years. Though I was being seen by an endocrinologist who helped get me out of the danger zone of thyroid storms via medication, I still felt awful and hopeless. I found your video during a really really hard day. I was weeping by the end of watching it. I wanted to choose my hard and knew that Grave’s and infertility were not the hard I wanted. Thanks to your vulnerability and intentionality with this video, last August I pursued a clinic in the US that specializes in reversal of autoimmune diseases with a bio hygienic approach. My lab work was a mess- gastric, cortisol, deficiencies, toxin overload- a ton to work through. I started on that journey last October, and became a literal new person 😭 lost 35 pounds, no more headaches, no more grave’s symptoms, and everything has changed. I’m almost completely in remission now. The Lord has brought so much healing to my body through this intentional living that we’ve finally been able to conceive 😭 I’ll be starting my second trimester on Mother’s Day. Which is so surreal. Whew.
I can’t thank you enough for this video. You gave me the push I needed to have a serious talk with my husband of what our life would look like long term with my autoimmune issues. My life is forever changed. Praising the Lord for you!
Well done for taking your health into your own hands and trying everything you could through hard research and persistence. So very happy you finally had the pregnancy you wanted! Was heartbreaking to hear how difficult it was emotionally for you. Thyroid journeys are naturally already such a strain on our emotions. Reminder to everyone to continue to investigate and to methodologically try different avenues of treatment 🙏🏻
I used some herbs from Dr iyaremoses on CZcams channel and it works perfectly am free from hypothyroidism...
Thank you! What a kind and encouraging comment!! Thank you for adding positivity into the world and the internet space :) You're so right, it really is a strain on emotions and just very exhausting to do all the hard work to bring balance back to the body. We each are worth it though!!
thanks for your great help to all suffering people out there...your honest feeling expressions are like the proper spices to motivate everyone...we are all one race on Earth and emphatic for one another is the glue that gather us...good job in your journey for better health and happiness.
Thank you so much!!
I'm a Year 2 Medical student and I have my presentation on Graves disease today. To find your video sharing your journey really is a savior for me. Your story and insights help me to understand this disease even better.
My mum had been diagnosed with SLE many many years ago. It is a similar group of disease as Graves. Just different organ DESTRUCTION INVOLVED. I've been with my mum during her lowest period. What I can say to have been diagnosed with any autoimmune disease is such a suffering really. I mean during the remission time, you cannot really say you are sick until the storms come back later and then that drags you down again. It is such a dramatic disease 😌.This condition does not kill you suddenly but it makes you suffer quicker than your age.
HEARTFELT LOVE TO ALL THE AUTOIMMUNE FIGHTERS OUT THERE💓💓💓
Thank You for sharing your story and I just want to say I’m so happy that it all worked out for you❤ I’m not trying to have a baby but I’ve been sick for some time. Now seeing a functional doctor and he believes I have this. Waiting on test results. I just cried with you because it’s all so hard and you just understand how difficult. No one understands. Again thank you for sharing and providing some hope and compassion ❤️🙏
Hi Nicole! I am so sorry to hear this, I know how emotionally exhausting it is when your health is not in balance, the tests, the doctors, it can be so much. I hope you can do something calming and peaceful to care for your emotional wellbeing today! That is wonderful you are working with a Functional Medicine Doctor. For consideration, I also recommend working with a Registered Dietitian who specializes in thyroid and gut health to provide dietary and supplement support. If you are interested in working with my team for nutrition support you can review our nutrition services here: healthygrocerygirl.com/nutrition-coaching/ You can also schedule a free intro call to share more about yourself and see if working together will be a good fit. You can schedule a free call here: calendly.com/discovery-call-hgg Please reach out with any questions, here to help!
Thank you so much for the video! I have hyperthyroidism from the graves. Our situation is so similar except the pregnancy. Been eating the hospital medicines for 3 weeks now. Feel better! But the guilt of taking soooo much medicine does not help. Like you, i do research and read alot after taking the medicines. I am seeing the naturalist doctor next week to see if there is anything i can change with my diet and life style, and stumble upon ur video. Happy to hear this! Bless you 🥰
How can I keep calm after beating hypothyroidism with doctor iyaremoses on CZcams herbs medication doctor link#driyaremoses.
Thank you for sharing your story. Today I have a follow up appointment for hyperthyroidism (my first diagnosed) when I received the news yesterday I set my mind on going the natural route. This is confirmation that is possible.
Just got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism yesterday. After 6years and multiple Dr's and ER trips, it took one endocrinologist less than 24hrs to do the right test and figure out what was going on. Hope everyone is healthy and get the answers they're looking for!!!
Wow! I'm so sorry it took so long for you to receive a diagnosis but that is so great you finally have an answer! Wishing you the best in your thyroid healing journey!
Was just discharged from hospital after almost dying ...I'm so confused, scared, don't know what to do... obviously I was put on meds...this video gives me hope!!
Wow are u ok? Thyroid storm? It’s significant anxiety and all reflects the thyroid gland I’m 24 dealing with this since the pandemic now hopefully take the surgery or iodine

Thank you!
Thank for sharing your journey so important for others to understand. Much needed! 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much!!
Omgggg this was exactly how I felt!!!!! I knew in my heart there had to be other options besides medication for the rest of my life! My doctor told me the same thing that “food wouldn’t help” I’m so happy I found your channel!
Can you share your program?
I feel so alone , lost and yes your right people don’t know how to help you ! They say things that make it worse. I found a holistic doc and I pray she can help me! Thanks so much ! If you can share what your heavy metal detox was I’d love to know!!
Hi Taja! I am so glad this video was helpful!!
I'm so sorry however I do not remember the name of the heavy metal detox supplements and protocol as it was many many years ago. My ND guided me through the initial testing to test the levels of different metals in my body and then guided me through a supplement program to bind and excrete the metals safely from my system. It's wonderful you are working with a Holistic Doctor! You can definitely discuss heavy metal testing with your Dr. and they can assist you with that :)
I am cheering you on with your health journey!! Working with a Doctor who understands the body from a holistic perspective is a really great start!
@@HealthyGroceryGirlThank you so much for sharing!
I am not native English speaker and I missed the name of the three herbs in the blend.

Can you help me write their names?
And also the Essential puls

Beautiful🙌🏻thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing your story; it brought me to tears. It's very similar to my own journey with infertility and a Graves/Hashimotis diagnosis, and it is comforting to know we're not alone. I, too, have been frustrated with doctors, tests and lack of options (mostly I was encouraged to just get my thyroid removed). But I believe God heals and we need to do our part to heal our bodies with food, supplements and exercise. Thanks for doing this video! I've enjoyed watching your channel for quite a while :)
I can so relate to everything you said! I'm sorry to hear you have also experienced Graves and Infertility. I know the frustration of being presented with options that just don't feel right or end up really making a difference. It can feel so overwhelming. You are definitely not alone!! Praying for your journey!! xx
@@HealthyGroceryGirl hello , I did blood test for thyroid the result was 0,45-4,50 mu/l
Then ultrasound the result was , the right thyroid gland is at the upper limits of normal for size and is hypervascular, commonly seen with thyroiditis .
does hypervascular means graves disease plz answer me plz
Thank u ,
How are you doing now on your healing journey?
Hello, I'm Turkish, I don't understand what you're saying
I was diagnosed with Graves and TED in 2015 i know what it feels like my eyes haven't gone back to normal and never will I think the changes to my physical appearance also affected me mentally
Thank you for this video and your encouragement. I love that you are so vulnerable and open. You're inspiring!

Thank you so much!! Wishing you well in your own health journey!!
My Daughter was diagnosed with Graves Disease, 7 weeks ago. After a 2 year battle with low energy, hand tremors, high heart rate, you name it. She was put on betta blockers for high heart rate. And then she was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Stress from her Dad and me sometimes for not going to school. From the school ect. You get the pattern. Finally emergency hospital diagnosed with Graves Disease. She went on the tablets and starting to change her diet gradually and 16yr olds don't like to be told what to eat. But i do remember going to a naturopath 2.5 years ago with diagnosis of leaky gut. But as she was young didn't want ro take all the powders. I have spent thousands on Doctors from EEC to EEG, and just needed to Express my pain and emotions to you. As I felt the pain and fustration as you were reading this. Thank you for the video. ❤
I am so sorry for all the hardship, emotions and more than you and your daughter have gone through for her health journey. I am wishing her total health and restoration for any imbalances happening in her body and that you are able to connect with a Naturopathic Doctor or Integrative Medicine Doctor who can be a wonderful guide and resource for healing!!
Watched til the end. This video is very underrated. Thank you so much for sharing.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!! xx
Oh my god! Thank you so much for sharing.You opened my eyes as I have same symptoms during this hormone imbalance.
Hello all, I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism when I was 17 years old. I am now 22. I found out because I had a swim meet one day, did an event I always do (100 yard breast stroke), and after the race, I almost passed out. Never felt so much fatigue in my whole life. I could barely get out of the pool, i get out, and everything around me turned white, I could barely see. I had to sit down immediately. My heart was racing so fast, I was taking deep breaths, and nothing seemed to work. I've done this event probably a thousand times in my life, and I've never felt like that. Thankfully, I didn't pass out, but it took so long to get my heart rate down. Freaked me out, and I knew something was wrong. Went to the doctor and told them my symptoms, did a blood test, and my tsh was low. Then I went to an endo and asked if i had mono recently, and I actually did a few months ago. They said I got graves diease from mono. So she prescribed me methimazole. I took it for a while. But I eventually stopped because I want to heal my thyroid naturally. I am vegan, I really only eat whole foods. I've been trying for 2 years to heal in naturally, but it hasn't worked. I will do anything to put it into remission. Thank you for giving me hope. Also, i do eat a lot of frui. Did you completely stop eating fruit? And I love starch. Did you stop eating starch completely too? Please let me know because i want to start my detox soon.
Thank you for sharing your story! I am so sorry for the hardships you've gone through because of any health imbalances! I am wishing you health and healing in your thyroid journey! I recommend working with a Naturopathic Doctor or Functional Medicine Doctor who can be a wonderful guide for testing and helping to get to the root cause. Two resources I offer for thyroid support are nutrition coaching which you can learn more about here: healthygrocerygirl.com/nutrition-coaching/ I also have a Thyroid Balance Course you can learn more here: bit.ly/3qToUHN
I had slow thyroid from burning out. Amazing how quick you can heal when you prioritize health. God is good. #FaithFocusFinish
All I can say is WOW! life gives us a lot of challenges and if we just do our research and stay focused "sometimes" we are rewarded with a positive result. I'm so proud of your endurance, if we all had that. Bless you and your family.
Yes! Results are never guaranteed but I'd rather give it my best effort, then live with regret of "what if I had tried this or really stuck with it?" Thank you for your kind words!!
I commend you for choosing a healthy natural path n for sharing your journey, giving us all hope n focus to do the same. Many blessings to you n your family!!!!
Thank you very much!!
Thanks for sharing. My story is so similar to yours, I cannot believe it. I went into this journey walking with my intuition and listening to my body.
Good job for listening to your body and using your intuition!!
Thank you for sharing your story..lt is a life changing info to have hope for those have been dealing with hypothyroidism.

Thank you so much for sharing! Literally going through nearly the same thing. Going to an endo and acupuncturist next month. In addition I have PCOS and Endo as well. Really into naturopathy and have seen a functional nutritionist already. Excited for it to work out
Hello, I'm Turkish, I don't understand what you're saying
100% whole food, plant based cured me. Took me a about 7months :)
Really happy for u wat types of food and plant kindly share
Thank you so much for this post. I’ve feeling a bit blindsided as well. Not sure where to turn. I can’t find a naturopathic doctor in my ear. Just wondering if you can recommend where to get in touch with one that focuses on hyperthyroidism. Thank you! So happy your treatment planned worked for you!
Woooow congratulations on your success . first of all, good job on treating yourself and I am glad you got them thyroids back to normal . Secondly, glory be to God that gave you two bundles of joy may God keep you healthy! Just diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and am on medication as I watch my foods closely hoping for healing 🙏🙏🙏
I'm so glad I came across Dr iyaremoses on CZcams, am completely free from hypothyroidism with his herbal medications doctor channel#driyaremoses..
Thank you! Yes praise the Lord for bringing health back to my body and for the gift of my beautiful children!! I remember journaling my prayers and being so intentional in asking for health for my thyroid and praying for those babies. I am so blessed by them and grateful for them!! I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis, I know how overwhelming and emotional that can be!! I am cheering you on with your journey and please reach out if you are interested in any nutritional guidance! We do provide nutrition coaching at Healthy Grocery Girl!
Thankyou so much, I am just about to go on this journey as well, I have given up wheat because of leaky gut issues the sugar part will be hard. I found your video so informative and helpful. xx
Hi! I really enjoyed your video. Which metal detox pill do you take? Thank you! Or any recommendations?
Thank you so much for your video 🙏 god bless your family ❤ what oil you put on your thyroid?
Really sweet girl..happy for your outcomes.
Thank you!
Finally found someone who has been in my shoes and accomplished what I want to. Thank God.
Wishing your health and healing for your own journey!!
I'm glad I saw your video. I am a nurse and just got diagnosed with Grave's Disease. It's also frustrating to search in Google what foods to eat because the articles I read contradict each other. This is my day one on steroids and anti-hyperthyroid meds. I am more concerned of the side effects of my meds which are weight gain, depression, and water retention.
I noticed that too but it’s because some is for hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. They’re different
I’ve had graves - ended up taking radiation treatment 🥲try your absolute all NOT to remove thyroid - you need your find the cause which I believe / or for me - it was emotional physiological “ not able to express the huge emotions relating to a divorce / separation because any expression toward the ex would affect children. - so all the suppression of hurt anger pain .. but most illnesses are just the body showing us where and what is wrong in our lives … plus thyroid meds are horror … so research and find cause 🙏🥰
I’m a nurse too and my 34 yr old daughter was recently diagnosed with graves. We are still reeling from a severe allergic reaction to methimazole - angioedema this week. They changed her to PTU, the warnings and side effects are sooo scary it’s like taking poison . We are thinking of ditching the that route and do naturopathic way .
Did you take medication?
Thank you so much for sharing this message. I need this so much. I am loosing my hair and my back is itchy. My tongue is coated. I have ringing in my ears. I feel like I am falling apart. Also I have a leaky gut too.
Your information helped me very much.
Dr berg was talking about symptoms like yours a while ago @Rosemary Allison
Thank you so much for sharing.
This gives me so much hope I had so many miscarriages and doctors appointments and test and trying new alternatives and It got to a point when I wanted to give up on starting a family but after watching the video I’m more determined to keep trying and keep having faith that I’ll have my baby I’m saving now for a naturopathic consult appointment and acupuncture treatments and hopefully by the end of this year I’ll have my big fat positive 🙌🏿🙏🏿
Sending you ALL the baby dust and praying for that positive pregnancy test!!! I so remember thinking, maybe it's just not going to happen for us? It can be a LONG, hard, emotional and expensive journey but it is SO worth it. FIGHT for that baby and remember to find ways to really nurture and care for yourself along the way! Baths, yoga, listening to happy music, a hobby that gives your mind a break and brings you joy... the infertility journey can be all consuming as I'm sure you very well know! Finding some ways to care for yourself goes a long way in the process. Wishing you the BEST!! xx
Thank you so much!!!!!❤
Thank you for such an inspiring and informative video. I have recently been diagnosed with Graves' and am doing lots of research, trying to get a handle on it all. I too had to go through lots of testing and was always so anxious. If you get the time I would really appreciate it if you could answer some questions for me. I would love to know if you are on a much less restricted diet now? For example, do you incorporate starches now? Also of all the interventions you made to help recover, which were the ones that helped the most? Did you notice a big change when, say, you gave up gluten? What foods did you eat to satiate your appetite when you couldn't eat starches? Many, many thanks for your help and I am so happy for you that you came through the other side and were able to start a family.
Hi! The path to putting my Graves into remission was really like a puzzle! A number of things that all together made a difference. There is not one element that was the magic cure and since I did a number of things at once there wasn't a way to say "this one thing worked better than others". The dietary changes I made, reducing stress and the herbs were all very helpful for me personally :) I continue to check my thyroid levels about every 6 months to monitor them. Because I had 2 children very close in age and breastfed one for 15 months and my other for 21 months that definitely took a toll on me physically and affected my hormones / thyroid for a bit. One thing I continue to do nutritionally is eat dairy-free, gluten-free and very little / low added sugar. Stress also seems to be a very big trigger for me and causes my body to swing out of balance. Have you worked with an ND or integrative or functional MD that has expertise in the area of thyroid health? They can help get to the root cause of your specific thyroid imbalance. An RDN who specialized in thyroid health can also be a great resource! Hope this helps answer some of your Qs!
First second in and you just look so beautiful and healthy! Good vibes already.
Ok now to watch the rest 🤍🙏🏼
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your story. Your story was totally God sent to me. I went through pretty much the same thing but I had crohns dx., I also couldn’t get pregnant. Went through all the fertility test, which were not fun! ( BTW I finally had a baby boy but not recommended to have any more kids due to a congenital heart condition, which I had open heart surgery at the age of 34.) Anyway, You Described all of the emotions I felt often. After taking 33 pills a day for my crohns and all the side effects they caused, I made a executive decision to get off all the meds and heal my gut through nutrition. I was successful and in remission for 12-14 yrs. Then I started having gut issues again. Went and had my colonoscopy and had a benign Cancerous polyp. Three different doctors recommended I quit eating meat as much as possible. So for the last 2.5 years basically eat a plant base diet. Then found out I have leaky gut. Allergic to so many vegetables I love. I’m pre- diabetic. Constantly fighting to keep my numbers down. Having my three year colonoscopy in a few weeks to check for more polyps. I’m a little scared. Sorr, I could go on and on and it’s not like me to tell my story. Tonight I was feeling so flustered with everything and said a long prayer and asked for Gods help. Got on U-tube , watched several of your videos and felt god answered my prayers. I just needed a boost of hope and clarification to my way of eating. You gave me that . I’m 63 yrs old now and I’m overall healthy, but getting tired with conflicting health issues with my gut. But I’m not giving up. I will prevail! Again thank you!
Thank you for sharing your story!! I am praying for your upcoming colonoscopy! Gut health issues, all health issues, can be so tiresome, emotional and frustrating especially when you are doing the work and making a point to care for your health! You are a strong person and you can do hard things! xx
Try ldn and colostrum bine broth
It's so amazing testimony, which state are you and what is naturopath dr help you . Thank beautiful!
I was diagnosed with Graves Disease last year. I was devastated as my husband and I were trying to have our second baby. Thank you for sharing your story. This disease isn’t common and all I have is a specialist that is pushing medication at me. Very frustrating to say the least! You have inspired me to do some research as I too have gut issues. Thank you!
I'm so sorry to hear this! I can definitely relate to how frustrating it can be searching for an answer, finding a doctor that is a right fit and so on. That part of the process alone is really discouraging and exhausting. Yes I definitely recommend making gut health a priority with nutrition, reducing stress (not easy but so important) and even some herbs can help! A Naturopathic Doctor, Holistic MD or Holistic RDN would be able to help!
Hi Jasmine,
I was diagnosed last year with graves as well. Had the typical symptoms plus the extreme weight loss (95kg->70Kgs) (i am 6ft1 for reference). Started feeling much better from the start of this year following the works of Dr Weston A price and Aajonus vonderplanitz which advocates for an animal based diet (preferably raw). I incorporated alot of raw eggs, raw meats/organs, raw dairy. I juice some vegetables as well and eat some fruits. I am now back to 86kgs and my T3 has reduced drastically. Very important to get alot of cholesterol rich foods as they can help regulate hormones and help build back the body. While medication has its place you can definitely do it through diet and lifestyle alone. Make sure you nail the diet part right down and find joy/creativity in your life. I hope you do well in your journey and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

I was recently diagnosed with Graves’ disease, we’re also trying for our second baby… did you ever get pregnant again?
You are very brave for your sharing your story and vulnerability, it will help and inspire many of us. ♥️
Thank you so much! I hope it helps someone feel not so alone in their own journey also have hope for healing!
Thank you for the video. It’s hard to find this detailed information
Happy to help how I can! I know when I first started my journey I felt SO ALONE. So I hope that anyone who watches this video knows that they are not alone and that there is hope!
Thank you so much for sharing Godbless you.. I just discovered last month that I have hyperthyroidism I am so hopeful I'm doing my best.
thank you for sharing ❤🙏🦋
Glad I found this video! My endocrinologist just said the same thing, that food won’t help and I need an operation. So found another doctor who got me on these tests - and same thing, candida and heavy metals. Hopefully this will lead to a normal thyroid down the road 🙏🏻
It just so great to see you looking healthy and beautiful. I hope to achieve healthy, normal level thyroid im diagnosed of Graves disease too.
Who ever thought hypothyroidism can be cured Dr iyaremoses on CZcams have cured me completely from hypothyroidism..
Thanks for sharing I just found out about my hyperthyroid and will go the herbal / natural route.
Thnk You so much for the heart you have shared this with. You have marked a difference and God bless you for being vulnerable for the sake of others. Blessings 💜
You are so kind! Thank you for such a sweet comment!
@@HealthyGroceryGirl 🙏💜
Thanks for sharing your story. ☺
I am diagnosed with RA and watching this video just gave me hope. #healthiswealth
Thank you for watching! So many autoimmune conditions (including RA) can be connected to gut health issues... something to look into!! xx
Such a beautiful story and wonderful testimony of tenacity to have children
Thank you!
Thanks so much for your video so informative and makes me feel hopeful. Could you explain the on going things you do even now to keep your hyperthyroidism under control? ❤
Hi! I continue to eat gluten-free, dairy-free and very limited added sugar intake. Mostly organic, real, whole foods and mostly a plant-based diet. Although I do eat organic chicken and as well as salmon. No red meat, pork. I focus on gut health and liver health with a variety of foods and herbs. I eat 2 brazil nuts a day for selenium which is great for thyroid health as well as my vitamins. I also focus on stress management with low impact movement daily, meditation, going in the near infrared sauna and I also love doing castor oil packs. These are just some of the key things I do! I am writing a Thyroid Balance Course to provide full in-depth education on thyroid support from a holistic perspective. If interested, you can learn more here if you're interested! bit.ly/3qToUHN
Hi, have you taken castor oil orally?
Interesting journey. I was hyper many years ago and did the anti thyroid drugs for 18 months. They worked and I have had zero symptoms for 40 years. I did put on weight but that flew off when we stopped the drug. Seems it was actually easier than what you did.
I am so touched by this video, I am not married but one of my biggest fears is my hyperthyroid effect my life and I am overwhelmed by thinking about my situation and how it will effect my life in future, your story made me more comfortable and happy
I'm glad my video could be of some comfort!
VERY interesting stuff for sure!!!! Thank you! My folks and I myself have been real big on natural herbs, and I still take them occasionally whenever I get a sinus cold or what not. Most recently though I have noticed possible symptoms of hyperthyroidism in me soooo I started doing my research on this. I deal with a lot of anxiety myself too and I hope you are doing okay. Keep up the good work and thanks again for making this video! 👉😎👈
Thank you so much!!
thank you for sharing your story! i feel like nobody really talks about having thyroid problems. i want to ask if you got vaccinated, i have been putting it off due to being scared of the effects of it. did you get vaccinated and if yes which one did you get? and did you feel good after the 1st and 2nd dose? i know having thyroid problems is really scary especially during this time!
Thank youuuuuuuuuuu 😭
I'm not trying to get pregnant! 😁 However, I so thoroughly enjoyed your video!!! Very inspiring and insightful! I was recently diagnosed with a hyperthyroid, and thoughts of my little boy and our future, constantly preoccupy my mind as I begin this journey. I feel encouraged, uplifted and resolved in my heart by your experience!!! Your children are truly blessed to have a Mother who strived so hard to give them life! Thank you & God bless you and your Family!!!!
Thank you for sharing this informative video. I’ve been diagnosed hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease this year. Just wondering did the Graves’ disease affect your eyes? My eyes got puffy and uncomfortable recently, I’m so worried and anxious. I will try to do some of your suggestions and hopefully will get better soon. ❤
Hi! Graves diseases did not personally impact my eye health. However, that can be a symptom of Graves Disease. I hope my video is helpful! I am also working a Thyroid Balance Course to share everything I know about thyroid health from a personal by also professional stance as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. The course will be out in the new year of 2024. If you're interested to learn more you can add yourself to the interest list here! bit.ly/3qToUHN In the meantime, I recommend to continue working on reducing stress, supporting gut health and also I highly recommend working with a functional medicine doctor or naturopathic doctor to help run a thorough blood panel and other tests to help get to the root cause for why you personally are experiencing a thyroid imbalance. Sending you health and well wishes!!
I have graves now my eyes are bulging. I really do appreciate this. I'm also trying to get pregnant. Will keep watching your vlogs. Thank you..
Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this video, would you be able to make a video with more details about your diet plan for grave pls I have been diagnosed and I’m so lost and sad, you are really strong.
Hi! That is a great idea and I would be happy to. In the meantime, I will say a quick overview is that I ate and still eat gluten-free, dairy-free, predominately plant-based with an emphasis on lots of vegetables and low to no added sugar (aka packaged foods with sugar added in). A lot of the recipes I share on my channel here meet the criteria and are exactly how I eat :) Hope this helps!
@@HealthyGroceryGirl Hey there, thanks for the video. Is there a plan that you could share please?
Thank you for sharing your story I am encouraged to fight for my health
I'm glad my video could be of some help!
Thank you for this video. I wish I knew this before I went through thyroidectomy 5 years ago. Of course the thyroidectomy didn't fix any hormonal imbalance and after 2 miscarriages, 2 years ago, I finally took the decision to get help from alternative medicine. Kinesiology helped me a lot and exactly what you say about the diet you had to do, it was the same that was advised to me. Now, i didn't try to get pregnant after the Kinesiology appointment and it's been 1 year since then. I decided, good or not, to do IVF instead of natural pregnancy, while keeping the diet to avoid candida. And yes I so understand you about the rollercoaster, because that's where I have been these last years. Now, I have question for you, do you still keep the same diet? Or did you just do it before and while being pregnant? Thank you once more for this video, for bringing awareness to the fact that graves disease can be treated with food and thyroidectomies can be avoided.
Hi, I came across your video and thank you for sharing your story. I have a family history of grave disease and hyperthyroidism, my dad had it and he ended up undergone radioactive iodine 20 years ago and he is on thyroxine until now. Unfortunately , I was also diagnosed with grave disease in august 2021 ,my T4 hormone was sky rocket at 120 , without thinking much, after Im on medication for a year, I opted for a radioactive iodine treatment, in a hope that I can get rid of the grave disease and hyperthyroidism. However, my thyroid relapsed and my eyes started to bulge , I believe it’s the antibody attacking my eyes tissue. A blessing in disguise , I came across your video and another nutritionist (autumn)‘s video on intermittent fasting and natural healing. I’m now trying to eliminate carbs and sugar from my diet and also trying on intermittent fasting , hopefully my thyroid will go away and I can get pregnant 🤰 soon. Btw it’s so difficult to eat clean and healthy in Asian countries. And it’s very difficult find a hospital that perform allergy test
Are you a Filipina??? I have Grave’s too. What hospital do you go to?
i understand what youre going through and sympathize with you megan. i went through the same thing and im currently still going through this journey. your tears moved me because ive been in that place you were and cried nobody seemed to understand in mine and my husband circle . i had endometriosis and fibroids badly i was always sick and in pain from age 11 until last year when i hadf to get a hysterectomy according to the gynecologist oncology . my husband and i wanted children so i too went vegan ,vegetarian you name it still others getting pregnant around me except mee dso after landing in the emergency for the 10 th time literally because of what i had . i had surgery hysterectomy my husband and i feel the absence of not having children and people bring insensitive saying you can always adopt not realizing my womb was removed and biologically i will never experience what i prayed for for us to conceive. we understsnd we can adopt and if its the lord will then so be it. but i feel the loss on a regular , i wishj i found your channel sooner maybe the outcome would have been different maybe not. nonetheless i understand your journey and im glad ypu kepot going and your husband supported you thats important and you conceived glory praise God! your a warrior keep shedding light on health your impacting more people than you know. God bless you and your family Jesus loves you.
Hi Porscha!! Thank you for sharing your story! You are so incredibly strong. You are so right people can be insensitive and sometimes they have no idea what someone else is going through. It's so important to be kind and gracious to one another because we are all going through hard things. I truly pray for you and your husband and that you feel so much love, peace and joy in your life!! xx
@@HealthyGroceryGirl Hi Megan! Thank you so much for your kind words. Have a great day and peace and blessings upon you and your family 🙏🏼😇
Thanku for saying nutrition is not one size fits all from a dieticians perspective ☺️
The handful of dieticians i have seen in Queensland, Australia have said it is even with knowledge of my variable chronic health!
Hello...I was diagnosed for hyperthyroidism (graves diseases) from 2010. I wish I was brave as half of you. I also did my research. You can google food that you can eat when you have hyperthyroidism. You can also find so much info on youtube now but before most of the info you would find was about hypothyroidism. In my opinion diet works for some people my thing is that I also have hbp so I opted for radioactive treatment. This disease does make you feel alone and because family members dont understand what you are going through it can be daunting. Please don't give up on finding solutions that can help you. The answers are out there ❤.
