My story of beating Hashimoto’s Disease — All naturally!
15 years ago, I had hives from the neck up, my hair was falling out, and all the skin on my face and neck peeled off twice a day.
I spent my days and nights with ice packs on my face because my skin felt like it was burning.
I was depressed and allergic to everything (vegetables, meats, plastic, tap water… you name it). I cried a lot. And I stopped outside activities and just stayed home.
Like you, I was angry and frustrated.
After nine painful months of going from doctor to doctor, I finally found a doctor who listened, thought about potential causes, and ran tests.
That’s when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, a thyroid autoimmune disease.
The doctor offered to prescribe a medicine called Synthroid, but didn’t provide a hopeful prognosis. He explained that it might help ease my symptoms but eventually my thyroid would stop working and I’d be on medication for the rest of my life.
This wasn’t enough for me.
I wanted get to the root cause, so I started working with a nutritionist who helped me figure out what sent my body into its downward spiral.
The evidence led us to conclude that heavy metal poisoning (from the removal of a large amalgam filling) and resulting severe inflammation triggered my Hashimoto’s.
With the help of my nutritionist, I spent several years detoxing the heavy metals out of my system and trying to minimize inflammation. The result? I’ve reclaimed my health and I’m symptom-free (and medicine-free!).

I can’t even tell you how much my life has changed!
I’m now a certified Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, author of the Deliciously Organic site, two-time cookbook author, and am privileged to work with so many amazing clients at my practice.
But what I’m most grateful for is that I have the energy to spend time with my kids, family and friends, and be an active member of my community.
That’s what I want for you to.
So I know what it feels like to battle chronic disease.
To feel helpless.
To be told conflicting advice every which way you turn.
And that’s why I’ve made it my mission to show you a clear path to heal your body from the inside out.
