Some people are told that they would always be tired, and that they would always struggle with their weight. Nothing could be done- they would just need to accept this as fact! This is of course completely untrue, as many people with Hashimoto’s can make a full recovery and live symptom-free (an unconventional root cause approach will be needed to reverse the condition, but some can eliminate virtually all of their symptoms just with the right medications).

Root Causes

Thyroid. Hypersomnia and Hashimoto’s. I often receive messages from clients, readers and other health care professionals about people who are doing everything, but still struggling with their health.
