Living with hashimoto’s doesn’t have to feel like a life sentence!

There is an increased risk of low vitamin B12 levels with Hypothyroidism and/or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. This is something I was never told by my medical team, nor were vitamin B12 levels ever assessed despite all the typical symptoms of low levels, not until I insisted. Yet on average 27% (some studies report up to 50%) of […]

Living with Hashimoto’s & Hypothyroidism can be hard and it can feel like medication barely makes a dent in your symptoms! It certainly didn’t for me!

Long before I was diagnosed with coeliac disease, Hashimoto’s or any of the other autoimmune issues I later acquired I was told my symptoms were due to IBS. That was about the extent of the information I was given on the subject. No dietary advice, no indication of what might trigger it or what might help, […]

Do you really need to be gluten free with Hashimoto’s? I’m often asked if just a little gluten here and there is ok when you have Hashimoto’s. I’m going to be straight up with you here, no sugar coating things! No! Even a tiny amount of gluten can tip the scales and it can last […]

Weight gain is one of the the most talked about symptoms when it comes to Hashimoto’s & Hypothyroidism.  It can be so demoralising to follow all the advise given and still see the weight pile on.  It’s something I see over and over again when clients first come to me.  I also hear it multiple […]

Living symptom free with Hashimoto’s is not a pipe dream it’s completely possible! I lived for years with debilitating Hashimoto’s symptoms, feeling like I was dying a little more every single day.
