Speaker 1: In today's solo pep Talk, I'm actually talking to you

8
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: guys about my recent diagnosis with the autoimmune condition Hoshi motos. So.

9
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: I didn't think I would be doing a full episode

10
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: on this, but when I announced this a couple of

11
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: weeks ago on my podcast and on my stories, I

12
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: have been unundated with so many messages and dms of

13
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: people who have the same condition, or people who think

14
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: they have this condition, or people who you know have

15
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: had it and or know someone who has had it.

16
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: And I guess I just wanted to have somewhere where

17
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: I could direct people because so many people asked me,

18
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: you know, what am I doing? What does it look

19
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: like for me? So I kind of just wanted to

20
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: do an episode about this. Before we get into it,

21
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: I do just want to obviously express that I am

22
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: not a medical professional. I have seen my medical professionals,

23
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: and I am relaying that information to you just because

24
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: I do share so much of my life and I'm

25
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: just so happy to share this with you, guys. But

26
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: please bear that in mind. Do not, you know, do

27
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: not take what I say and diagnose yourself or anything

28
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: like that. Please seek medical help from like a professional.

29
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: But if you know, if you are diagnosed with the

30
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: hostymotives who don't just use what I'm doing. I guess

31
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: it's you know, insightful and helpful, but I just did

32
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: want to make sure I express that because you know,

33
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: with this podcast, of course, I bring on experts and

34
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: I love to talk about so many things, but please

35
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: bear in mind, I can only talk about my experience

36
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: and how I'm feeling and dealing, and that is, you know,

37
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: it's so personal to me and my circumstances. So now

38
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: we've got that out of the way. Also, if you're

39
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: new here, my name's Georgie Stevenson. I'm a former lower

40
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: turned entrepreneur and personal development junkie, and I'm basically just

41
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: super passionate about helping other women, mostly other women. Some

42
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: men step into their power. It's really funny, guys, I

43
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: was looking at the stats of this podcast, and we

44
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: are ninety nine percent females, So I guess that's why

45
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: I always dress females. But for the one percent is

46
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: it's probably like you know, Tim and my dad, probably

47
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: not even Tim or my dad. My dad definitely doesn't

48
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: listen to podcasts. But yeah, so let's get into the show.

49
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: So before we kind of get into what I'm doing,

50
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to, I guess describe what hoshi motos is.

51
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: So it is an autoimmune condition that can cause hypothighe thyroidism. Wow,

52
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: that's a big word. And it's treated. It's often treated

53
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: with a medication that helps replace your missing thyroid hormones.

54
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: So basically what happens is it's where your immune system

55
00:03:54,880 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: attacks healthy thyroid cells. And like the most common cause

56
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: of thyroidism that I have researched is when your thyroid

57
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: doesn't produce enough of the thyroid hormone, so it's basically

58
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: not doing what it's doing. Your body gets confused and

59
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: your body attacks itself. And basically because your body is

60
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: attacking itself, it damages the thyroid and then you know,

61
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't produce this thyroid hormone that we need and

62
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: it starts causing this a whole host of symptoms. And

63
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: with this condition, it's very much like it happens over time,

64
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: and it's kind of this thing of you once you

65
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: have this condition. I what my doctor has said to

66
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: me is it's incurable and like once you have it,

67
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: you have it for life, and it's more of a

68
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: case of you deal with having they call them like

69
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: flare up, so it's when you know your symptoms are

70
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: quite bad and then you get it under control, but

71
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: can sort of come back always, which is like I guess,

72
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: you know, to be told you have a diagnosis that

73
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: is incurable and really affects your quality of life as

74
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: just it made me super sad when I first heard it,

75
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: but in saying that, I was kind of expressing this

76
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: on my YouTube. When I found out that I had

77
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: this diagnosis, I was actually really happy too because I'll

78
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: go through the symptoms soon. But the symptoms are they're

79
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: all kind of like you know, normal, not normal, but

80
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: it's stuff that it's like when you have it, it

81
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: can be super deteriorating to your mental health and to

82
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: how you feel. And for a long time, I was

83
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: getting so many tests and no one could kind of

84
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: give me any answers, and I kind of felt like

85
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: I was going a bit crazy. And so I'm actually

86
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: quite happy that I have this diagnosis because, you know,

87
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: as explaining it to Tim, like it makes more sense

88
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: and I can kind of go from here instead of

89
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: just having this whole bunch of symptoms and you know,

90
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: they're kind of being not a real reason, or me

91
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: just feeling like, you know, my body is failing me

92
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: a bit. So let's kind of get into the symptoms

93
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: and what I experience to make me go to the doctor.

94
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: So I'll listen amount and I'll go through my experience.

95
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: So I'm getting this off the Australian Thyroid Foundation website. Okay,

96
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: So it says if you suffer from thyroidism, the symptoms

97
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: can include lethargic fatigue, weight gain or fluid retention, depression,

98
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: low moods, sleep disturbance, thinning of hair and eyebrows, increased

99
00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: sensitivity to cold, breathlessness, dry skin, constipation, poor concentration, muscle

100
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: pain and weakness in large thyroid low libido, decrease, fertility,

101
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: menstrual changes. For pregnant women, there is an increase risk

102
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: of miscarriage or complications, so a whole heap, a great

103
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: list of symptoms. And so my experience of really kind

104
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: of finding out and going to the doctors and figuring

105
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: this out is And I feel like I've kind of

106
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: spoken about this on the podcast and in my YouTube

107
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: videos that for the last like since the start of

108
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: this year and even towards the end of last year,

109
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: I was just feeling so exhausted, and I kind of

110
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: just put it down to, you know, I work really hard,

111
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: I work really long hours, I'm doing a lot, I

112
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: go to gym, I do this and that, and I

113
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: just put it down to, oh, I'm doing too much.

114
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: But it's kind of like and I remember expressing this

115
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: to my psychologist and I'm like, it's not It's not

116
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: like I'm tie like physically tired. It feels like my

117
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: soul is tired. Like it feels like I am just

118
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: so burnt out. And no matter how many days off,

119
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: weekends off, or anything like that, like I just I

120
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: can't feel better. Like I could have a whole sunday,

121
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, laying on the couch chilling out, you know,

122
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: not hungover, but just chilling out, and feel the exact

123
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: same thing on a Monday. It's kind of like this

124
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: reoccurring thing where I just felt so fucking exhausted, and

125
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: I was really kind of annoyed and angry because it

126
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: was so confusing to me because you know, I had

127
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: slowed down at JIM, I had put all these precautions

128
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: in place, and I just like couldn't figure it out.

129
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: And lots of people, you know, said, oh, you've got burnout,

130
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: You've got you know, a dreamal fatigue, and I was like, yeah,

131
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: like I do, but I just kind of felt really

132
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: lost and just very confused. Also, towards the end of

133
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: last year, I had so many sleep issues. I am

134
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: so much better with my sleep this year. Also, I

135
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: had super dry skin. I don't know if I've told

136
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: you guys this, but like I will literally like I

137
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: remember there was this point me and Tim would laugh

138
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: so much because I would get up at like twelve pm,

139
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: like midnight, go to the toilet and then get my

140
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: moisturizer and moisturize my hand, feet and legs because my

141
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: skin was so dry. And I remember Tim being like, pick,

142
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: that is not normal, Like are you an old lady?

143
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: And we kind of had a joke about it. But

144
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: when like the doctor said a symptom was dry skin.

145
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, okay. And then also, you guys know,

146
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm very open about dealing with having anxiety and seeing

147
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: a psychologist, but I could definitely kind of resonate with

148
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: the symptom of low moods. I don't think I would,

149
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, say depression, but very like feeling low and

150
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: down and almost feeling super guilty for it because I

151
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: just couldn't explain how I was feeling, if that makes sense.

152
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: And then also another symptom too is like acne, and

153
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: that's because your thyroid controls your like all your hormones,

154
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: so hormones can be out of whack. And I'm someone

155
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: who does get adult acne, very prone to it. And

156
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: so I've also experienced my skin not really kind of

157
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: being as clear as it usually is, which can just

158
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: be a bit. And I know, like, I'm all about

159
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: your so much more than how you look and your body.

160
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: But I think we can all agree that, you know,

161
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: we go through times where things like that affect well

162
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: for me personally, that's how it was. And so I

163
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: was just feeling for a good couple of months super lost,

164
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: just super shit, and it's funny because I got test

165
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: one in May and they kind of didn't pick up

166
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: on it. I was super low in my iron, so

167
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: I went on iron tablets and then it got another

168
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: test one recently and that's when they picked up on it,

169
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: and my iron was lower than it was previously. And

170
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: it's funny because my doctor looked at me because she

171
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: looked at all my levels, and she's like, do you

172
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: feel like crap? And I'm like, to be honest, like

173
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: I've felt this way for so long, for the majority

174
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: of this year. This just feels like my normal. So

175
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: even though I don't feel amazing, like I kind of

176
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 1: can't remember what it feels like to not feel like this.

177
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: And so it just made me so happy for someone,

178
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: I guess, to validate how much I was struggling and

179
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: to really just be like, it's okay, it makes sense

180
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: why you feel like crap, You're going through this, this

181
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: and this, but it's okay. You big diagnose and we

182
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: can sort of move forward. So my GP has put

183
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: me on a thyroid medication. I can't really I don't

184
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: remember what it is, but you know, I'm guessing it's

185
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: just the normal one. It is just a low dose,

186
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: it's like fifty meg or something. And so what she

187
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: wants to do is, I'm going to get on that

188
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: medication and I'll see how it goes. And she's gonna

189
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: retest me them four and six weeks and we'll see

190
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: how it's going. She said, a lot of people get

191
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: on the medication and you know, stay on it for life.

192
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: I personally, and guys, I'm not gonna sit here and say,

193
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: you know, I want to heal myself naturally, even though

194
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: you know I see a nature path and I do

195
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: all that sort of thing. I'm not against medication to

196
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: help you at all. And so I jumped straight on medication.

197
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: I listen to that. I do want to kind of

198
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: see if I can, you know, tweak some lifestyle stuff

199
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: and really get my nutritional levels up, because a big

200
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: part of this condition is usually your nutritional vitamin D

201
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: levels not D. Sorry, vitamin levels are quite low and

202
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: that's why you're struggling with some of these symptoms. So

203
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, you know, focus on lifestyle stuff and I'll

204
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: see what is happening, and then i'll see if I

205
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: can get off the medication, which I would prefer just

206
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,239
Speaker 1: because you know, for your liver and stuff like that. Personally,

207
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: I don't really want to be on medication for my

208
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: whole life, but we'll just, you know, we'll see how

209
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: it goes. So basically, the cause of hashimotos is really hard.

210
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: So when I asked my doctor, she kind of didn't know,

211
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: and she was kind of like, oh, you know, it

212
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: can be hereditary sometimes you know, your family has it

213
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: and it my brother Blake, he actually does have this

214
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: condition too, and he isn't on medication and he kind

215
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: of just deals with it. But so certain nutrients and

216
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: minerals can really affect hashimotos. And so they include iodine,

217
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: which is really important for your thyroid function. It's really

218
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: important to make sure you have adequate amounts of this.

219
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: And the next nutritional mineral you need is selenium, which

220
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: is really important for the thyroid and it helps you know,

221
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: you can get it from your diet or you can

222
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: get it in brazil nuts and pumpkin seed as zinc

223
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: is a big one too. And then vitamins like vitamin

224
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: D vitamin B twelve has also been known to really

225
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: help hashimotos. This episode is brought to you by my

250
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: I put a link in the show notes. Okay, let's

251
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: get straight back into the episode. So I'm personally on

252
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: a whole heap of concoctions from my natural path. And

253
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: basically I went to her and just said, you know,

254
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: I've got this condition. I am, you know, on the

255
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: medication from the GP, but I would love to sort of,

256
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, get on some natch. I love, like my

257
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: natural path will give me these like natural concoctions of

258
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: like herbs and tonics, and I love that sort of stuff.

259
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: I've always been someone who loves natural health my mom,

260
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: you know, growing up, my mom always you know, sort

261
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: nurture paths and that sort of thing. So I'm on

262
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: like this herb tonic. I'm also on an iron supplement,

263
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: a zinc supplement, a Selenian supplement, and yeah, a whole

264
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: heap of supplance because and guys, I got so many

265
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: blood tests done. I wouldn't just supplement with things without

266
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: actually knowing your deficient. So these are all things that

267
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: I was deficient in. So the cause of hashimotos is

268
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've done a lot of research, and

269
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,239
Speaker 1: it's almost like something happens in your body and your

270
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: body's fighting against it and it kind of mistakes the

271
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: thyroid and it can almost just happen some somehow. I'm

272
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: not too worried, but when I was researching it, it

273
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: says that stress is a huge trigger for hashimotos that

274
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: can really kind of bring it up and make the

275
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: symptoms worse. And so I was like, so typical, you

276
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: guys know, I'm like, I'm a bit of workaholic, and

277
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: it's just because I bloody love what I do. You know,

278
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: I honestly don't feel like it's work, like you know,

279
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: recording episodes and creating content and doing my project. Like

280
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: I just I love what I do so much. So

281
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: I do work long hours and I do work weekends,

282
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: but it's super hard for me because I enjoy it

283
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: so much. And I know some of you are probably

284
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: like listening to this rolling your eyes, and don't worry.

285
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: I get it. I work to corporate, I feel you.

286
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: But in saying that, I am someone who naturally takes

287
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: on a lot of things just because I love to

288
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: do it, and so I am quite stressed most of

289
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: the time, just because I'm doing so much. So stress

290
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: can definitely affect your thyroid because it slows down your

291
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: body's metabolism. I was researching, and it's when your third

292
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: function slows down during stress, your T three and T

293
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: four hormones full, and that's when you have issues. And yeah,

294
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: I think we all know stress isn't the best and

295
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: so you know, stress is a huge opponent that I

296
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: really need to look out in my lifestyle. I'll actually

297
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: grab the sheet from my Natural Path and just show

298
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: you read out you guys what you know she was

299
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: sort of recommending. I know, you know, a natural path

300
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: isn't something we can all go to, and they you

301
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: know that it's not the cheapest option too, So I'm

302
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: so happy to share with you guys what my natural

303
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: path said. Okay, so I will shout out my nature

304
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: Path too, because she's amazing. She's obviously in the Gold

305
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 1: Coast where I live. Her name is Talia Swaltz, and

306
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: I'll link her stuff in the show notes just in

307
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: case you're also on the Gold Coast. But basically, Tala

308
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: Talia was explaining, yeah, we really need to kind of

309
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: boost all my vitamins and minerals because when they're low,

310
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: and that's when it kind of like really stirs up

311
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: the sort of the condition and it really triggers it,

312
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's basically show, guys. So we're

313
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: really focusing on getting that up. So my herbal formula,

314
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: it supports thyroid health and adrenal function, reduces anxiety, helps

315
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: with stress, blood building, and supports my mental cycle. And

316
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: the herbs like I'm no idea what these are, but

317
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: it was Winthania, Rhemia, passion flower, don Qui and Shatasari

318
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: probably butchered those, but anyway, I'm also on iron tablets

319
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: that support energy levels and iron levels, and then also

320
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: I'm on selenium, which reduces thyroid antibodies and supports thyroid function.

321
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: And basically she just said additionally. And I was really

322
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: worried because I was doing research and looking up like

323
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: I saw everywhere that said like Hoshimoto's diet and this

324
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: diet guys. It was like no dairy, no gluten, no sugar,

325
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: And I guess, like I really freaked out because if

326
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: you don't know, I have a pass with like disordered

327
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: eating and really going through this phase of my life

328
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: where I was obsessed with how I looked and what

329
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: I ate and it was just a really bad time.

330
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: And I just I freaked out because I was like,

331
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: oh my god, I cannot go back to like restricting

332
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: food like mentally, I just like, I can't go back

333
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: to that place. Now I am where I am with

334
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, food in my body. I just yeah, Anyway,

335
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: I freaked out. But once I spoke to Talia, I

336
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: felt so much better because it's not as bad as

337
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: I kind of thought. And She's like, it's more about

338
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: adding in the food you need. She did say she

339
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: definitely wants me to stop eating gluten, just because gluten

340
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: is so like well known. There's so much research that

341
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: says it is something that triggers auto immune conditions and

342
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: causes inflammation in the body, and we just she's like,

343
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: you just don't need that. So she's like, the biggest

344
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: thing is I stop eating gluten and then add these

345
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 1: foods in. So the foods that I'm adding in and

346
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm focusing on is a zinc rich foods, which is oysters,

347
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: pumpkin seeds, grass fed red meat. She said to have

348
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: avoid foods that include raw brassics, so that is broccoli,

349
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: brussels sprouts, kale, cauliflower, tournuts, cabbage, and radishes, but she

350
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: said you can you can eat those cooked, just not raw.

351
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: She said, also to avoid soyer beans and soyer products, peanuts, pinenuts,

352
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: and millet. Yeah. So increase selenium rich foods, which has

353
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: been zil nuts and I've been having them in my

354
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: morning oats. I actually love the taste of brazil nuts.

355
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: Are not mad about that. And then also increasing tyrazoon

356
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: rich foods which is grass fed, organic animal meat, increasing

357
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: id on rich foods which is oysters, seafoods, seaweeded seaweed,

358
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: sorry an idie, salt, and increase omega three fatty acids

359
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: which is fish, olive, oil, nuts, and seas seas which

360
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: helps reduce inflammation, which is so key right now. And

361
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: then yeah, avoid gloden where possible can trigger and worsen

362
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: gut health and inflammation, which she thinks for me personally

363
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: is where things are starting. She said, it was super

364
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: interesting that I got my bloods done in May and

365
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 1: then I was on iron tablets, and then I got

366
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: my bloods redone and my iron was lower than it

367
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: was in May, and so she thinks I actually have

368
00:23:54,840 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: like a condition where I'm not absorbing my food or

369
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: minerals and vitamins, and she think that she thinks that

370
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: is why, you know, everything is so low as even

371
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: though I eat so healthy, you know, normal day to day,

372
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: it's almost like I'm not absorbing my food and the

373
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: nutrients I need. And so she said, that's definitely something

374
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: to do with the gut and so we're also working

375
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: on my gut health. And she said that working on

376
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: your gut health when you have an autoimmune condition is

377
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: so key. So we're doing that, and so lifestyle recommendations,

378
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: she said, I really need to work on my stress,

379
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: and so that is something I'm doing. It's actually something

380
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: i'm doing with the Rise and Conker project round two.

381
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: My sort of thing I'm working on is not doing

382
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: less in my business, but just like adding in more

383
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: me time and my self care and really working on

384
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: that and seeing what that looks like. I'm also like

385
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: not accepting any new projects. I'm just about to do

386
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: round one of the projects and I'm not, you know,

387
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: doing any more personal projects. I do actually have one

388
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: more thing coming up, really cool collab, but after that,

389
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm like not putting anything in so I can kind

390
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: of slow down a bit, and because I do have

391
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: a lot happening with Naked Harvest, I just want to

392
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: have some time. And then she also said to look

393
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: into stuff like, you know, getting some massages, doing acupuncture,

394
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,959
Speaker 1: and then yeah, really carving out that me and self

395
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: care time. Yeah, so that's kind of about it. That's

396
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: my plan of action. That's me explaining everything. I did.

397
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: Just want to create this episode so I can kind

398
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: of direct people, just because I have had so many messages.

399
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I was looking at the stats

400
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: being the little nerd I am, and I was reading

401
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: this is on the Thyroid Foundation website that it's more

402
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: common in women than men, and it's estimates that ten

403
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: times more women than men are affected by this condition,

404
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: which is super random. And it also says about I

405
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: can't I can't find the start. But when I saw

406
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: the percentage of people in Australia and the States who

407
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: have this autoimmune condition, it was so much more than

408
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: I thought. I hadn't. I hadn't heard of this like

409
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: in random health podcasts like at random times, and I

410
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: knew it was an auto immune condition, but I hadn't

411
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: really heard of anyone having it, but when I looked

412
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: at the stats, it was actually super common and it's yeah,

413
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: it's most common in women too. So I just I

414
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: know a lot of listeners have it and are dealing

415
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: with it, and I just want to send my love

416
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: to you because I know firsthand how much of roller

417
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: coaster this condition is. And yeah, but in saying that,

418
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm being super positive, I'm, you know, doing all the

419
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: right steps. I'm working with my health professionals, and I

420
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: encourage you to do the same. Bit. I'm going to

421
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: wrap up this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
