It looks like we're live. All right. Welcome everyone. I have Hael on with me. Heather's been in the handsome method for a little while, and I wanted to give you guys just more real life. Examples of success stories, because I think oftentimes when we're dealing with thyroid, when we're dealing with autoimmunity, we think can that happen for me, or that could never happen for me, or we have all these beliefs around it. And so one of my goals with interviewing people and having these conversations is so that you guys can see real life examples of other women struggling with the same things as you and how they have come through it or not come through it. So welcome. Pethel to today's. I don't know, show call. (00:58): Thank you. (01:00): Yeah, absolutely. So give everybody a little bit of background. Who are you, what do you do all of those fun things? (01:08): Well, I am a wife to my husband of almost 21 years, a mother of two boys. And I also work full time in I'm a VP of an industrial company, so it's high, high stress environment. And I study classical homeopathy on the side and kind of venturing into my wellness career path as a hobby. So yeah, that's where I'm at. (01:41): Yeah. Amazing. Well, and I love that you bring this background of homeopathy with you into, into everything that, that we're doing here in the Hanson method. So before joining the Hanson method, what were some of the FA what were the symptoms, what were some of the things that you were struggling with? (02:00): So I would say I've, I've been hypothyroid most of my life probably about 20 years. And that's all I was told you're hypothyroid, and you're gonna be on this pill for the rest of your life. And I started studying a little bit more into health and wellness over the last seven to eight years and kind of sparked questions in me, but I didn't really do anything about them. They were always in the back of my head until last year my cholesterol started spiking and I knew I was eating fairly well. Yeah. And I was like, well, why all of a sudden is my cholesterol going up mainly the triglycerides. And you know, I was told you need cholesterol in your body, but something may not be working in your body to process your cholesterol. So I decided to go to an endocrinologist and she she just felt the gland and she was like, you know what? I think you have Hashimotos, but let's do a test, a confirmatory test. So she did. And I was sad to find out that I have Hashimotos. Yeah. but it didn't stop there. I just kind of was like, okay, I got it now, what am I gonna do about it? What do I need to learn about it? Because obviously the difference with hypo and Hashimotos is one is autoimmune and I autoimmune the word autoimmune scares me. (03:30): Yeah. It, oh, for me, (03:31): Stresses me out. So that's where it kind of led me to you know, look into a holistic style of treatment, cuz I've always been interested in that in my family. There's homeo pads, there's Ibada, but they're all in the east, on the Eastern side of the world. So they're freely able to practice that, but here we're kind of confined to apathy and I wanted to find an alternative. So I started my seeking out of what can I do? What can I do for myself that doesn't require meds for joint pains or, you know, meds for the headaches or, you know, an antidepressant for the anxiety. Like, yeah. I, I didn't wanna be, I knew I didn't wanna go down that route. You know, I'm fairly young still. I like to believe and I have a long way to go and I don't want medicine to kind of dictate my lifestyle going forward. (04:32): Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Oh my goodness. There's so much there. I mean like good things, right. I think so quickly to touch on this for the, the listeners, the Watchers autoimmunity and Hashi or hypothyroidism Hashimoto's hypothyroidism are different. Right. They, they work in the body different. And so like you were saying autoimmunity, when I was struggling with that, I was like, ah, you know, or like, anyways, that's like a whole other story. I've shared it in other things. But when I thought it was Hashimotos, I was freaking out, right. I was very nervous because I knew what that meant for me long term. So that was, you know, all of the stress and feelings with that, but then also having my desire to not take medication and not be on medication for the rest of my life was also kind of pulling at me. And so I think that that is very relatable to, to a lot of people. So you were saying you had joint pain. Were you having headaches? What were like the symptoms that you were having? (05:43): So symptoms? Obviously it was a lot of, it was in the lab test that I was getting with the cholesterol. And then I, I did have brain fog every day at about three o'clock. I'd get a craving for sweets and I would just start yawning at work. I was just exhausted by three o'clock. And I, those were my main ones. There was weight gain. It wasn't crazy weight gain and that, wasn't one of my initial reasons for even seeking help, but I didn't feel good. I didn't feel good in my own skin. Yeah. And I knew something was off my skin was always dry. My lips were always dry. And something was off that Thato thyroxin that they put you on it, it wasn't really working. So then I was like, all right, well, I am Hashimotos so let's, let's kind of dive into this a little bit and see what it means. (06:37): Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So when you came in, you joined our four week program. Yeah. Right. I don't remember when that was (06:47): It was, I joined in March. (06:50): Okay. In March, March (06:51): Of this (06:52): Year. Okay, perfect. I'm glad you remember, cuz I don't I was gonna say like, we were talking about this earlier today and we were like, I think we did one in December, like November, December, and then we did one later in the year and I couldn't, I just couldn't remember anyways. But so you joined there and then you decided to continue your journey with us. So what was kind of that like tipping point for saying, okay, I wanna continue on with this. (07:23): Yeah. So the first four weeks, you know, I, I went in skeptical as everyone does. I'm gonna, I'm gonna invest in something. And I'm gonna invest my time into this too. I kind of saw the website and the program that you have us working on in journaling and all that. And as I got into it for the four weeks and especially the coaching calls, I was like, okay, I'm, I'm not only am I enjoying this, but I'm learning, I'm learning so much more than I would if I were to just Google everything myself. And it was, it was kind of comforting to know that I'm not the only one going through some of these symptoms. Some of my symptoms might be milder than others and s
