Michelle was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid in her early twenties and was put on medication but her thyroid antibody levels were never tested. It wasn't until about 25 years later she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's.
Trusting her instincts that she wasn't 'crazy' she kept trying to get help. This seems to be a common story for those not yet diagnosed with Hashimoto's... they know something isn't 'right' but have trouble identifying what it is.
Michelle has done a lot of inner work on her attitude, mindset and taken responsibility for managing her health. She's taken time to build a supportive 'team' around her - moving to a quieter place, some good friends, a doctor & naturopath to work with and loves our online Let's Talk Thyroid Community too.
It's funny because without her realising, she covers a few things we covered in last weeks episode too about saying no!
Thank you Michelle for sharing your thyroid story with us all, I know many will benefit.

Kickstart Your Thyroid Wellness Lifestyle
Is a 30 day challenge I've developed over the years based on my 20+ years of living and learning with a thyroid issue. It incorporates the keys to thyroid health: a nutrient-dense and anti-inflammatory diet, mindset, stress management and the ability to work these into a long-term, sustainable, enjoyable wellness lifestyle. It's about being kind to your body and introducing common key elements to help you feel more energy and vitality over the long-term.
And it also offers the community and accountability of being in a private Facebook Group of people who really understand all that you're going through.
