Thank you!
I just found this podcast, and I’m feeling so hopeful about getting really healthy. You take random things I already knew and put them all together to make sense.
I learned how to support my body
I was on my last and 3rd pregnancy and struggling with low thyroid issues and this podcast was so revealing and helped me so much! My prior babies were both born on 37 weeks; I think stress and lack of knowledge of how to support my body had create that environment. After listening to a good amount of episodes and trying to implement some changes I not only did not have to worry about my thyroid but my baby was born full term, on her due date. 2 years later my very irregular periods have become very regular basically always starting on the same day of the month, I don’t have pain while on it and I just feel like a have so much more energy. I am still learning but I am so grateful for this podcast and all the info and health she has brought me. I keep sharing with friends and family (in Brazil) because I think this info here is gold and we don’t see much of it around. Thank you!
Such good information!
