Podcasts about hypothyroid mom

Today on Couch Talk I have a very special guest who has a million followers on Facebook! Really! My guest is Dana Trentini, also known as the “Hypothyroid Mom”. We will be talking about all things thyroid, including Dana’s own fascinating story relating to her personal healing journey (which continues today)…and she’ll be sharing many insights and pearls relating to thyroid health. She began her award-winning website, HypothyroidMom.com in 2012. She started her blog to tell her own story about her lifelong impacts from hypothyroidism, including an earlier miscarriage in 2009. First, a Little Bit About Dana. She began her award-winning website, HypothyroidMom.com in 2012. She started her blog to tell her own story about her lifelong impacts from hypothyroidism, including an earlier miscarriage in 2009. What’s so amazing is that she started her blog just to tell her singular story and to share some personal learnings relating to her miscarriage…and that grew into what the site is today; a means to educate and empower millions of people on all things hypothyroidism. Dana has been featured on The Wall Street Journal and The Atlantic, is widely sought after for interviews and advice, and has written the book, Your Healthy Pregnancy with Thyroid Disease. I have often recommend Dana’s Facebook page to clients, not only for its educational content on thyroid disease…but frankly, for its humor! We all need that, especially when we are feeling like our bodies (and perhaps the traditional medical system) are working against us! There Is So Much We Aren’t Told About Thyroid Dangers Thyroid disease can be silently problematic for a long time before we are “clinically hypothyroid”, so how do you know if your thyroid is the reason for how terrible you feel every day? Dana talks about the core issue of testing; how needed testing just isn’t done, inside or outside of pregnancy. During pregnancy there is not a universal thyroid screening done. That was really the issue that kick-started Hypothyroid Mom into being. After her miscarriage Dana did a deep dive into the scientific research and found there were a lot of known dangers of her having maternal hypothyroidism during pregnancy. And her doctor hadn’t done any tests even though she had had many thyroid symptoms. Outside of pregnancy, many doctors still do not focus on comprehensive thyroid testing, and the standard care model is to wait until things worsen and then prescribe medication versus doing preventative interventions like changing diet and lifestyle. Listen to Today’s Couch Talk and You Will Learn, How statistics show that over half of thyroid patients are undiagnosed! And why that might be so. The importance of knowing your TSH… as well as… The importance of lab tests beyond TSH, including two important antibody tests… And why you can have thyroid disease even with a normal TSH. The number one cause of hypothyroidism. How effective the top-selling thyroid hormone replacement meds are…and why one size doesn’t fit all. How your cholesterol levels can be a symptom of thyroid disease. How candida, mold, metal toxicity and gut issues affect your thyroid. Why it’s important to understand the “why” behind the disease. Why did it develop and/or worsen? What the “good girl” syndrome is and how that affected Dana’s pregnancy. That hypothyroidism in pregnancy can result in miscarriage, ADD/ADHD, deficits in intellectual development in infants and more… And you’ll hear so many jewels from Dana…a great interview! If you have questions or comments please let us know and we’ll try and get responses from Dana for you.

In this episode of The Dr. Hedberg Show I interview Stacey Robbins!  This was a very unique interview because we didn’t focus on biochemistry, but rather how Hashimoto’s can affect your life and your relationships. Stacey Robbins (Certified Health Coach and Certified Yoga Instructor RYT200) is an award-winning Author, Speaker, and Integrated Wellness Coach. She is honored to work with senior executives in global organizations and is a trusted advisor to influential thought leaders, film producers, authors and creators who make a major impact in the world through their work. Stacey took a diagnosis with an autoimmune condition, Hashimoto’s – where the body attacks the thyroid -- and turned it into an opportunity to look behind the scenes at where she was at war with herself.  Traveling around the country for years to study and attend conferences, Stacey learned more about the mind, body, spirit connection, which allowed her to dive into the thoughts, patterns, and beliefs that were undermining her health. Her book, ‘You’re Not Crazy and You’re Not Alone: Losing the Victim, Finding Your Sense of Humor and Learning to Love Yourself through Hashimoto’s’(with a foreword by Dr. Izabella Wentz) is Stacey’s funny, honest, and soulful journey, to not only heal from the physical part of Hashimoto’s, but to address the inner work and healing that is available to every woman with Hashimoto’s. Giving back to the community is a core value as Stacey serves on the Board of Directors for Hashimoto’s Awareness, an organization that educates and empowers the Hashimoto’s community in the areas of testing, self-care, and healing.  At Hashimoto’s Awareness, she works alongside esteemed experts in the field of Thyroid health:  Dr. Izabella Wentz, Mickey Trescott, and Dana Trentini (a.k.a. Hypothyroid Mom). Stacey inspires women to live their happiest, healthiest life with Hashimoto’s and to use it as a teacher and guide to discovery as they learn to love themselves. As she says, “Hashimoto’s isn’t the end of your health, it’s the beginning of your healing.” We discussed the following topics in detail during the interview: -How Stacey got connected to Hashimoto's. -The top three messages women should know from reading Stacey’s book. -How relationships are affected with your spouse or partner, when you have an autoimmune condition. -Helpful tips for both of you to have when dealing with Hashimoto’s. -How Hashimoto’s affects being a parent. -How Stacey’s life and lifestyle changed by having Hashimoto's.

In this podcast episode I interview Dana Trentini, the founder of the well-known Hypothyroid Mom blog.  I really enjoyed our talk, in particular discussing thyroid issues with someone who is so passionate about thyroid health. Dana Trentini created the thyroid advocacy blog Hypothyroid Mom. Dana launched her blog on October 1st, 2012, in memory of the unborn baby she lost due to hypothyroidism. She set out on a mission to learn all she could about hypothyroidism and to share her discoveries with people around the globe. Dana has since been featured in The Wall Street Journal and The Atlantic. In our new podcast interview, we covered the following topics in order: What motivated you to become a thyroid patient advocate and create your blog? What are the signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism? What is the prevalence of thyroid disease? Why do you think there are so many undiagnosed thyroid sufferers in the world? Which lab tests do you recommend for hypothyroidism? The number one prescribed medication for hypothyroidism is Synthroid. Why are so many hypothyroid patients still struggling despite taking levothyroxine medications like Synthroid? You write at Hypothyroid Mom that treating thyroid disease is really like putting together a big puzzle. What are the main pieces of the puzzle that should be considered? What resources are available to help patients find open-minded thyroid doctors? You wrote a book with Mary Shomon, Your Healthy Pregnancy with Thyroid Disease: A Guide to Fertility, Pregnancy, and Postpartum Wellness. Tell us about it. Dana has a true passion for Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism advocacy so I urge everyone to connect with her online to learn more.  Her blog is filled with many excellent articles and resources to help you wade through all the thyroid information that is available on the internet.
