Heal your Thyroid - Part 3
Communicate and Trust
In this 3-part blog series over the last few weeks, I’ve been sharing with you the major steps I took (also the steps I guide my clients through) to support and heal the thyroid naturally.
This is a topic I feel incredibly passionate about as someone who became a thyroid statistic back in 2017 after being diagnosed with Hashimotos Hypothyroidism.
I’m grateful to say that within 6 months of being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism, I was in remission, now my thyroid test results couldn’t be more perfect, and I feel like myself again.
Unfortunately, not all women or men have their thyroid properly checked and those who are diagnosed with a thyroid disorder, aren’t always provided the right lab tests or resources to get their thyroid issues under control as quickly as I did, or ever.
Most people who are diagnosed are immediately prescribed thyroid medication, which can provide immediate relief for those who are suffering, but medication is not necessarily a long-term solution and it certainly does not solve the root of the problem.
The good news is, that there are natural ways to support your thyroid health, prevent thyroid issues from happening, and even reverse an existing thyroid disorder.
In this 3-part blog series, I’m sharing with you the major steps I took, along with the steps I guide my clients through, to support and heal the thyroid naturally.
In part 1 of this blog series I addressed step #1 – knowing your thyroid numbers.
In part 2 of this blog series, I addressed step #2 – controlling what you can
The 3rd step to supporting and healing your thyroid is definitely a topic that most health professionals aren’t talking about – which is funny because it involves communication and trust!
There is more to thyroid health than the scientific approaches of modern medicine.
The study of epigenetics, frequency, emotional, and vibrational energy has proven to us over time how health can be impacted by our beliefs and experiences.
I had all the “scientific” approaches nailed. But something was still slowing down my healing process, and then I remembered something I tell my clients all the time…
Healthy is a way of being, not just doing.
I was doing all of the “healthy” things, but the question was, “who was I being that led to a decline in my thyroid health?”
Step #3 – Trust & Communicate
In various Eastern medicine and healing modalities, the thyroid is related to the throat chakra. Chakras are known as energy centers, located in specific places of the body that help to regulate processes such as organ function, the immune system, and emotions.
The throat chakra is located exactly as indicated, at the throat. It is related to the thyroid, mouth, throat, and ear as well as our ability to express and communicate.
When the throat chakra is out of balance it might show up as:
Over or under communication
Inability to express self, stand up for your beliefs, or follow your dreams
Sore throat, asthma, and fatigue
Struggling to find your words
Thyroid disorders
It comes down to mindset. One day at a time I shifted my mindset, I learned to trust my body again, and built my ability to communicate confidently by:
Looking in the mirror with appreciation
Writing down 3 things I was grateful for daily
Taking time to do one thing for myself each day (meditate, long lunch, massage, etc.)
Talking openly about my journey and letting those around me know how they could support me
Not everyone around me understood what I was doing, or could relate, but that was ok. Sometimes we have to leave people where they are (not behind) in order for us to move forward in pursuit of our goals and dreams.
As a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practitioner trained in functional lab testing, data-guided health protocols, and neuro-linguistic programming, I help people reclaim their health in similar ways as I have done, and that I have described in this series, so they can feel like themselves again, or for the very first time.
