    Hi. discovered a few years ago that I am hypothyroid. Don’t want to be one of those women on Synthroid for life – used it bvriefly to kick start things back in right direction but still get numbers that are slighly elevated (last yr TSH 3.54; most recent test 4.61). Looking for natural ways to get back into balance.

    • Good luck. I’ve been on the thyroid meds for 25 years. At first I tried to follow a natural plan, but the symptoms were too awful. Maybe on this plan. I will finally get there, but it is not my goal. Goal is 1) healthy blood sugar, 2) healthy heart (no more atrial fibrillation, 3) better sleep, 4 more energy. Also, if the poor little thyroid gland wants to come along on the health path, that will be just fine. Actually, I have learned lately that the type of thyroid problem I have, which is an autoimmune disease called Hasimoto’s disease–may be related to gluten intolerance. So–this plan calls for us to be gluten free.
