I typically was sick every month with a cold, flu, whatever germs are going around. On top of that, fatigue, not able to make it through a day without a nap, stomach issues such as bloating, nausea, and inflammation. After some lab testing, it was looking like I have Hashimotos and I realized I needed to take steps for my health. My friend invited me to this community and I just wanted to learn more. I have enjoyed learning more about how our bodies and hormones work, and my thoughts about food have been challenged. With a few shifts, such as grounding, getting morning sun, feeling grateful, and eating generally more animal based, many of my symptoms have improved! I have been healthy for a few weeks now. No sickness. Less bloating. More calm. I feel strong and oddly "taller." Energy levels are improving slowly. After about 2 months of slow changes from things I am learning from this community, I am seeing some results and it is encouraging! What has mattered most in this journey has been connecting my physical health with my emotional and mental health and starting to consider my stress levels and nervous system more.
