❌❌ Changing what you eat won’t heal your body.

This is what my doctor 👨🏻‍⚕️ told me 🤦🏻‍♀️ when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 🦋 (an autoimmune thyroid disease) 13 years ago.

He said my only option was synthetic medication 💊 for the rest of my life... and eventually my thyroid would need to be 🔪 removed.

My autoimmune antibodies🩸showed that my white blood cells were attacking me instead of healing me and there was nothing I could do.

I was crushed.

It would take many years of frustration 😭 and symptoms before I was completely fed up. I was willing to do anything to reduce inflammation and stop the white blood cells from attacking me.

I removed gluten 🌾 and started to feel better. But I was still dealing with these symptoms:

1️⃣ Bloating 🙋🏻‍♀️ and constipation.
2️⃣ Acne🧍🏻‍♀️like a teenager.
3️⃣ Irregular menstrual 🔴 cycle.
4️⃣ Exhausted 😴 all day long.
5️⃣ Energy pills 💊 to stay awake.
6️⃣ Random 🤷🏻‍♀️ weight gain.
7️⃣ Mood 😍😭😬🤬 swings.
8️⃣ Brain 💭 fog.

I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.

So, I finally went all in. I ❌ removed inflammatory foods and added ☑️ in gut-healing foods like ginger 🟡, turmeric 🟠, collagen 🐄 and bone broth 🦴. I forced myself to sleep 😴 more and manage stress better. Within a few days the brain 💭 fog lifted.

I woke up with energy ⚡️ for the first time in years. Then, my tummy bloat was gone. My interest in being active 🚲 🧗🏻‍♀️ 🛼 returned. And every morning, I continued to wake with energy.

Within a few months my antibodies dropped 📉. Fast forward ⏩ 3.5 years and they are now consistently so low that my autoimmune diseases 🧬 and viruses 🦠 are now in 💫 complete remission and I have no autoimmune symptoms.

➕I do take a natural thyroid supplement 💊, but my white blood cells are no longer attacking me. 🙏🏻

As I have shared my story 📕, many of you asked for help. I knew that we needed to do something.

Oh, there are so many mornings 🌞 that I wake up, turn off my alarm ⏰, roll over and moan from ______________ (a. exhaustion, b. pain, c. fear of another hard day, d. all of the above).

Some days I just feel so fragile. Limited. Unable.

I want to change this. Be intentional every single day.

I want to wake firmly believing that instead God will. Instead God provides. Instead God makes a way. Instead God knows.

I want to firmly believe that God is not fragile, and then trust Him to be everything I need today.

😅As you fight autoimmune disease, be brave. Try things with a little faith… and without knowing the end result.

In 2014, I had a naturopathic pediatrician (a client of my website design business) challenge me to remove gluten 💯% to reduce overall inflammation. No more wheat-based bread 🍞, Einstein Brother bagels 🥯, $5 Little Caesar pizza on Fridays 🍕, McD’s Big Mac 🍔, Krispy Kreme donuts 🍩… um, clearly my diet lacked healthy. 🤣 So, naturally, the next day I began… and nearly 10 years later I am thankful for the day I rose to the occasion. My husband, children, mother and many friends have even adopted a gluten free lifestyle because of my story and wow, what a difference it has made.

‼️Of course, over the next several years, I would go through removing many more food groups and ingredients and sometimes adding some back in.

I still miss Big Macs 🍔 and Krispy Kremes 🍩… but I do not ever regret taking the steps I do to get to where I am. Of course, all without knowing if I was on the right path.

➡️ As you make decisions to follow a path for your autoimmune disease healing, be brave. Try new things… wild things like parasite 🪱 cleanses with , mushroom 🍄 complexes, smoothies 🥤with grass fed collagen, stool 💩 tests and beef 🐄 organs… 🤤 and just see what happens.

What’s something you’ve done without knowing the result?!

♥️ We can and we will. We will not back down. We will not give up. We will not walk away.

Chin up, sister.
Stop 🛑 telling yourself that you’re struggling.
Instead rest 😴, take it easy on yourself, rest 😴 again. Then, back at it.
Because you’re simply mid-conquer.

Yes… I needed these words tonight and pray 🙏🏻 that at least one of you did too.
