“The body is a manifestation of the subconscious mind…” Hashimoto's is much more than just a thyroid disease - it can wreak havoc on the brain, liver, and other organs. If you or someone you know has this disease this is a great listen to learn how Hashimoto's and the body function are intricately connected.  Thyroid expert and Chinese Medicine practitioner Mark Ryan is here to talk about autoimmune diseases and their impact on the entire body. Mark is also the author of How to Heal Hashimoto's and The Hashimoto's Healing Diet.  Mark and I discuss the simple truth about Hashimoto's: it's way more than a thyroid problem.

I'm a family health coach with certifications from the Primal Health Coach Institute and the FASTer Way to Fat Loss. Over 30 years of coaching and leadership combined with a passion for helping women to live health happy lives is the platform of my program. It's about getting back to the way our ancestors lived and ate. It's not about diet, deprivation, counting calories, or spending hours in a gym. I help women reclaim their health and weed through the Wild Wild West of health advice to confidently make optimal choices for themselves and for their family. Healthy women raise healthy families. Words from Nanette: "As a new mom, you have hopes and dreams for your family and for their future. You see them growing healthy and strong. For me, fast forward to the day one of my kids was struggling in school because of her ADD. My thought was how can I juggle this busy life of mine to support her health? I felt hopeless. I knew she deserved better; we all did. I just didn't know how.  That's when I took matters into my own hands. I radically shifted the way I shopped, cooked and ate.  I learned that what we put in and on our bodies matters. I changed how we cleaned our home and cared for our bodies.  The epidemics of obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes and autoimmune conditions are so prevalent in our society. We even accept them as normal. This problem is so much bigger than just my family's, and my mission is to change this trajectory.  As I began to take ownership of our health, things began to shift, and health returned to all of us. My Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is in remission. My husband's type 2 diabetes is under control. My daughters' food sensitivities, allergies, ADD, and anxiety are improved. Our lives have much less stress and much more joy and energy.  We improved because we eat real whole food, move our bodies and prioritize sleep. I won't sugar coat it and tell you it was easy, it wasn't. I will tell you it is possible, and it will change your life forever.    For my family, it has changed everything and none of us would go back. Understand that you have a choice. You know what is best for your family. You know them better than anyone on this planet. Moms have an innate gift, a gut intuition that tells us when something is not right. I am so grateful that in that moment of hopelessness, I found trust in myself to take control of our health." "You can take control of your family's health. Our bodies are born to be lean, strong and healthy. Trust your instincts. Question authority. Get the facts."

What we're talking about in this episode! How an adverse childhood experience could have a lasting impact on your health Unburdening your immune system and raising your metabolism by healing your gut What you can do to get your immune system back on your good side forever Gaining an awareness of what is right and wrong for your body and your symptoms Understanding the correlation between stress, diet, lifestyle and autoimmune conditions   Episode Summary After a multiple sclerosis diagnosis at age nineteen, Palmer Kippola was told by half a dozen neurologists that there was nothing she could do for her condition but be put on medication and prepare for life in a wheelchair. Refusing to accept this, but stuck without modern resources like the internet, Palmer started her own 20-year long health discovery and has since reversed the symptoms of her MS by finding her triggers and healing her gut. With this incredibly powerful information in hand, Palmer recently wrote Beat Autoimmune, a guide to exploring the six crucial lifestyle factors, or F.I.G.H.T.S, that are the root cause of your autoimmune condition. Autoimmunity is the fastest growing condition in the United States, and mainstream medicine only covers up the symptoms leaving patients confused and suffering. For a new perspective, Palmer explains the six key factors to reversing your autoimmune condition, such as food, infection, and stress, how to serve your gut by removing toxins and adding nourishing elements, and ultimately works to shift the paradigm for what you believe is possible for your health and wellness. Palmer is proof that with a little dedication, hard work, and stubbornness, you can help heal your body naturally. By digging into the root causes and removing the stress that is blocking your immune system, you too can help reverse the symptoms of your autoimmune disease and realize the incredible capacity for healing that your body has. Stop adding fuel to the fire and start listening to what your body is telling you that it needs with Palmer’s vast experience and wealth of knowledge around autoimmunity. What lightbulbs went off in your head as Palmer explains her miraculous and inspiring story and research? Share your ‘a-ha’ moment with us in the comments on the episode page.   Quotes “I just believed that chronic stress was my big ‘why’ for why the MS came on. I had become a child warrior, I was hypervigilant, and I believed intuitively that my immune system had become a proxy for that hypervigilance.” (12:25) “I really wanted to get to, how in the world was it even possible that I could reverse a disease that six neurologists, these experts, had told me there was nothing I could do, and yet that was completely different from my felt experience.” (24:31) “When I found this exciting science about epigenetics and how we control 90% of our health outcomes and genes only play 10% of the part, I want people to know that and embrace that and feel empowered that there is so much that they can do.” (30:56) “Really being aware of any of those past traumas that you have experienced, and doing whatever you can to address them on a daily basis is ideal.” (45:20)   Resources Mentioned Download the Free Optimal Food Guide Here Beat Autoimmune by Palmer Kippola Beat Autoimmune Book Bonus Page Palmer Kippola Website EY 088: My Hashimoto’s Diagnosis and What I Did to Get Well Follow Palmer Kippola on Facebook | Instagram | YouTube   Other Resources: The Essential Oils Hormone Solution by Dr. Mariza Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube

In today's season 1 bonus episode, you get a rare solo appearance from me, your SIBO Amigo Phoebe Lapine. Those who have read my book The Wellness Project know the first chapter of my story, from being diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis when I was 22, to spending the better part of my mid-twenties trying to get on board with the health hand I was dealt. In this episode, I talk about the many root causes that led to my autoimmune disease, and how some of those root causes later set the stage for SIBO. I'll also be answering listener questions on how I overcome health setbacks (including the 411 on my latest gut pot holes), what advice I would give someone recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's, and my biggest takeaways from the entire first season of SIBO Made Simple. If you're wondering the path I took to healing my SIBO and what the road forward looks like, give it a listen. A quick taste of what we’ll cover: The gap I experienced between conventional medicine and functional doctors Why eating gluten-free was such a game changer for my Hashimoto's How multiple parasites continue to be the invisible fence for my gut health What I learned from my year-long project of making one lifestyle change, one year at a time, and how I've applied those learnings to my SIBO recovery The herbal protocol and diet I used to treat my SIBO and how it changed my symptoms throughout the 4-month process And so much more… Resources, mentions and notes: Phoebe's book The Wellness Project Let a Podcast Out Course – Use code SIBOMADESIMPLE Post on My Hashimoto’s Story Post on My Thyroid and My Scale Post on SIBO 101: Root Causes and Testing Post on SIBO 2.0: Natural Remedies and Supplements  Post on SIBO 3.0: Lifestyle Changes and Diet Low FODMAP Cooking Tips The Best Thyroid Super Foods 4 Weeks to Wellness Course- use code SIBOMADESIMPLE Hormonal Birth Control Episode 03 Rebecca Coomes' Patient Story Episode 10 Join the SIBO Made Simple Facebook Community Page Subscribe to receive a free download of the episode transcript This episode is brought to you by the Let a Podcast Out Course, a one of a kind podcasting resource that will take you from idea to execution in just 8 weeks.

Even if you don't have SIBO, this episode is a must-listen for all women. We get into the nitty gritty of the relationship between hormones and the gut, how your thyroid factors into the equation, and why conditions like Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism become such big risk factors for digestive issues like IBS and SIBO. A big underlying culprit that I talked a bit about in the Rag Time chapter of my book The Wellness Project, but not enough people address, is the pill. Hormonal birth control is a subject that today’s guest is particularly equipped to talk about as it relates to gut health. Dr. Jolene Brighten is a Functional Medicine Naturopathic Doctor and  the author of the upcoming book Beyond the Pill, a 30-day plan to support women on birth control, help them transition off, and eliminate symptoms of post-birth control syndrome. A quick taste of what we’ll cover: How hormonal birth control leads to leaky gut Why women are more prone to gut issues Why insufficient thyroid hormone contributes to the risk of food poisoning An overview of your different thyroid hormones and how they work in the body How a SIBO diet dovetails with a diet to support your thyroid The things you should and shouldn’t do to treat your SIBO if you’re a woman with hormone imbalances—including Dr. Brighten’s delicious recipe for a night time tonic for adrenal fatigue And so much more...

Book:COOKING FOR HORMONE BALANCE: https://amzn.to/2ux1JTB hormonesbalance.com   Balancing Hormones http://learntruehealth.com/balancing-hormones   Balancing Hormones For Optimal Health Balancing hormones is an essential component to boost one’s energy and mood.  It can also lower inflammation and gain strength. Balancing hormones can also help you restore healthy weight.  But most people fail to realize this because balancing hormones seem complicated but it’s not. And my guest, Magdalena Wszelaki who’s a Holistic Nutrition Coach tells us why. Looking Back Magdalena Wszelaki believes her condition traces back to the time when her mother was continued smoking during pregnancy. Magdalena Wszelaki was not breastfed because she was born in an era when formula milk became popular. The first month she was born, Magdalena Wszelaki had pneumonia and had to undergo frequent ear drainage as a child.  Eventually, she learned that she was sensitive to foods with gluten, dairy, and eggs.  In other words, her digestive system was messed up. It became worse in her 20s when Magdalena Wszelaki’s food sensitivities were manifesting in another way, which was through horrible acne. It was also because of stress from her career, smoking, no food control and relying on alcohol. Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Magdalena Wszelaki’s life made a significant turn in her late 30s.  She was 36 years years old in 2008 when she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and living in Shanghai. That time, there wasn’t any information on the internet, and no doctor could explain what autoimmune disease is. Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system stops. It makes you feel sluggish, have brain fog, lose hair and feeling fatigued all the time. It also causes depression and anxiety. “My body gave in one day, that’s when I was diagnosed in Shanghai. It doesn’t just happen because it’s years of stuff that we do consciously or unconsciously to ourselves. But eventually, the body speaks up and says it has had enough,” shares Magdalena Wszelaki.  Changing Her Life In 2009, Magdalena Wszelaki went to nutrition school. She changed things around for herself and helped dozens of women along the way. She eventually learned about the importance of balancing hormones and all of that has been a big inspiration when she put together her protocol cookbook. “As a 45-year-old today, I feel good. My Hashimoto’s is in remission. I had things with estrogen dominance, and I had all the genes for being a bad estrogen detoxifier,” Magdalena Wszelaki said. “That means I’m much more prone to developing estrogenic problems such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer and many more.” Magdalena Wszelaki could develop lumpy breasts if she didn’t take good care of herself. And because her body responds quickly, she makes it a point to take care of her adrenals. Health Coaching Magdalena Wszelaki dabbled in health coaching during the first six years in private practice. Now, she offers online educational programs, online cooking programs, and kitchen detox programs to help more people. “The thing with private coaching is that it costs money to work one on one with someone. So, we refer out people to practitioners that I truly believe in,” said Magdalena Wszelaki. Estrogen Dominance Estrogen dominance is when a woman has a deficient, normal or excessive estrogen. But there is nothing to balance the effects on her body because there is a little or no progesterone present. “It’s one of the reasons why we have thyroid problems. We have thyroid issues when we fail to converge a T4 hormone which the thyroid produces and convert it to T3,” explains Magdalena Wszelaki. “T3 is the working horse. That’s what gives you beautiful hair, healthy weight, good mental functions, and energy.”  Common Symptoms Some common symptoms of estrogen dominance are PMS, irregular periods, cellulite, fibroids, miscarriages, breast cancers and thyroid cancers. Magdalena Wszelaki says the prostate problem in men is also due to estrogen dominance. “In estrogen dominance, it’s just the way you are breaking down those estrogens is not in the most beneficial way,” said Magdalena Wszelaki. “It is also due to low progesterone. And it also applies especially for women who have periods for 20 days, spotting, and unable to hold on to pregnancy for more than three months.” Magdalena Wszelaki also says that balancing hormones is also needed for women with PCOS or polycystic ovarian syndrome, as well as women who tend to store a lot of fat around their belly. And what happens when we have high testosterone levels. “This is a metabolic, hormonal imbalance because that happens when we have high blood sugar levels. Blood sugar control is the first step in managing that body shape or hormonal imbalance,” says Magdalena Wszelaki. Birth Control Pills Magdalena Wszelaki also cautions women against the use of birth control bills. Because basically, the glands need fuel to function. And vitamins and minerals are food for the glands. “Birth control pills mess around with your natural cycle of producing hormones. Your glands get signals,” Magdalena Wszelaki said. “A lot of women who are on birth control pills for a long time are not able to conceive. But when they get off it, glands are producing their hormones.” She adds. “So, if you are reacting badly to birth control pills, it’s an early sign of estrogen dominance. Or you are just not breaking down estrogen and progesterone because they are both synthetic.” Ways of Balancing Hormones According to Magdalena Wszelaki, hormones are connected with each other. And diet plays a significant role in balancing hormones. Clean up your digestion first.  Because apparently, we usually don’t even need to use bioidentical hormones. “When you have high-stress levels, cortisol robs you of progesterone. It can result in anxiety and poor sleep. So, have herbs often, supplements sometimes, and bioidentical hormones only when needed,” Magdalena Wszelaki advises. Furthermore, she also reveals that you can manage hot flashes and night sweats via blood sugar control. Magdalena Wszelaki also says to be wary of face creams because most products contain toxic chemicals that can havoc thyroid and cause infertility. Recommended Foods There are a lot of food choices that help in balancing hormones. Magdalena Wszelaki says that one way is changing your breakfast and be conscious with gluten and dairy. Some of the food Magdalena Wszelaki recommends are pomegranate, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds.  She has a wonderful article about seed rotation on her website, explaining how and why you should switch eating different types of seeds. So, I highly recommend to check it out on her website. “Other things like cabbage, cilantro, parsley, cinnamon, and bone broth are good. But some people cannot eat raw cabbage. So lightly steam it, and you still get a lot of benefits,” advises Magdalena Wszelaki. “A lot of probiotic-rich foods can cause people with IBS a lot of bloating. It is also beneficial to eat food that is in season.” I particularly like cabbage which heals the gut and bone broth.  A veggie dip tastes delicious with purple cabbage cut into squares to substitute crackers. For bone broth, select only premium ingredients to get the maximum health benefits and whip up a large batch which you can chill and reheat through the week.  Farmer’s Wife Breakfast Since Magdalena Wszelaki mentioned earlier that changing your breakfast can help balance hormones, she high recommends her Farmer’s Wife Breakfast, which is packed with protein, fiber, and fat. You take fresh leafy greens, steam or eat them raw. Sprinkle the greens with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and some protein on top like a lamb patty, healthy burger patty or any piece of meat. Top off the breakfast with something fermented like sauerkraut, avocados for good fats and pomegranate seeds for a touch of color. “Have a balanced diet without just eating one food excessively. A lot of times women don’t have just one hormonal imbalance. So set the foundation right,” said Magdalena Wszelaki. She adds, “There are early signs that we are struggling with our hormones and health. Listen to those signs. Clear out your digestion, balance blood sugar, avoid caffeine and sugar.”  Additional Resources To know more recipes that promote balancing hormones, check out Magdalena Wszelaki’s protocol cookbook, Cooking for Hormone Balance which is available on her website.  Not only does it have a lot of healthy recipes, but the book also contains a lot of science about the food you should eat. It’s a practical program with over 125 recipes that are easy to do. Her website also has a quiz to help you figure out if you do have a hormone imbalance.  The quiz assesses thyroid, estrogen, progesterone and cortisol levels. Bio Founder of the popular Hormones Balance online community, holistic nutrition coach Magdalena Wszelaki knows the value of cooking for hormone balance firsthand. Developing hyperthyroidism and then Hashimoto’s, adrenal fatigue and estrogen dominance propelled her to leave a high-pressured advertising career and develop a new way of eating that would repair and keep her hormones working smoothly.  Now symptom-free, Magdalena Wszelaki shares her practical, proven knowledge so other women may benefit. In Cooking for Hormone Balance, she draws on current research to explain the essential role food plays in keeping our hormones in harmony and offers easy, flavorful recipes to help us eat our way to good health. She also offers clear, concise action plans for what to remove and add to our daily diet to regain hormonal balance, including guides for specific conditions. Get Connected With Magdalena Wszelaki!
