Hey I’m Rachel! Married for 10 years and have two wonderful high energy, & too smart for their own good children ages 9 & 4.
Welcome to the Wellness Hub, where humor meets health on the journey to reclaiming wellness. As a mom diagnosed with Hashimoto’s I’m on a mission to spill the beans on what doctors might not mention & help others gain back their health and energy.
Hashimoto’s?
Diagnosed over 14 years ago, let’s just say I’ve been less than impressed with the care I’ve received from multiple doctors and endocrinologists in the past until I established care recently with a new Nurse practitioner who listened & took the time to talk to me about my lab work & explained to me how my results showed inflammation.
It was then that I decided to start my journey to reversing it once and for all.
Many doctors offer the bare-bones basics of hypothyroidism treatment. After ordering a Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) test, if the lab results come back as “high,” they diagnose hypothyroidism, write a prescription for synthetic thyroid medication, and send you on your way. Too often, it’s a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approach to diagnosis and treatment.
Speaking from the thyroid trenches – hypothyroid myself, and supporting others with thyroid challenges – I can offer an unequivocal no! As patients, we want to feel well – not just have “normal” results on a lab test.
Reclaiming your well-being starts with small, sustainable changes that contribute to a healthier lifestyle.
Here you’ll find my tips, tricks & resources to start your journey into feeling good every day.
