I found out two months ago that I have hypothyroidism, which means my thyroid hormone levels are too low. My doctor prescribed medication that, according to current medical guidelines, I will likely need to take for the rest of my life.😒
I knew something was off when I started feeling exhausted in the middle of the day, waking up tired, and feeling emotionally flat. If you know me, you know this is the complete opposite of who I am.
I'm usually a very energetic person who wakes up feeling powerful and ready to take on the day (Generator here 🙋♀️). Emotionally, I would say there was always a fire burning inside me, as my Greek heritage was definitely alive and well. So experiencing all these symptoms made me feel sad and completely disconnected from myself.
If you know me a little deeper, you also know I'm not someone who gives up easily. So I wanted answers and did ALL the tests. Cortisol, hormones, gut health, blood work, viruses, cells, serotonin... everything.
And here is what I found out.
I'm one step away from leaky gut. My estradiol was very low. My serotonin levels are low. My cells need more energy.
On one hand, I'm grateful that I finally know what is going on. On the other hand... what the heck is happening?! Seriously... F*ck!!
So here is what I'm doing to support my healing:
A lot of supplements, and I mean A LOT.
Zinc, vitamin D, omega-3, probiotics, prebiotics, maca, boron, L-glutamine, aloe vera, NAD, GABA, 5-HTP, and probably a few others that aren't coming to mind right now. And of course, meditation for my hormones.
I also stopped eating gluten, sugar, and dairy. Basically, everything I enjoyed had to go. The only thing left is my coffee, which I'm obsessed with, and I honestly don't know if I'll ever give that up.
Next steps:
• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for cellular repair.
• EBOO (Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation) to help support detoxification and reduce pathogen load.
What I've learned through all of this is that so much begins in the gut and it's my main focus.
After trying all these things, and still continuing with them, I do feel somewhat better. But I know there is still a long road ahead.
My health has always been a priority, but right now it is under a microscope.
Have you ever been through something similar?
What helped you the most?
So many women are struggling with hormonal issues these days. It's honestly crazy🤯
