Hypothyroidism - reversible or a condition to accept and live with?
"My 2018 blood tests came as a rude shock to me", says Michele. "I was diabetic with elevated thyroid levels."
As if diabetes wasn't bad enough, she had thyroid too!
Michele didn't know what to do. Everyone knows where the regular “doctor-medicine” routine leads you. It only maintens the condition, does not reverse it.
"It took me months to muster up the courage to accept that I needed to change, and that I desperately needed the help", she recalls.
That is when she got associated with Wellness Quotient. She made changes - one step at a time. Dietary changes, exercise, learning how body views food and responds.
Slowly - but surely - she corrected her diabetes in 2019. Buy thyroid ws a stubborn one. After all, what took 30+ years of lifestyle choices to build, will require some time to correct!
Michele hadn't heard anyone who had reverted to healthy thyroid levels. Usually they reconcile themselves with that tiny pill every morning.
Today Michele is happy. She could finally correct her thyroid imbalances. "It took me year and a half of changing my habits. The journey was slow. But I'm set for life", she says.
When asked about the main challenge she faced in this journey and how did she overcome it, she says "While I understood that I was making a better choice, it was not always easy. I did goof up with my food at times."
"But everytime, my coach picked me up and put me back on track .... and for that I'm truly grateful."
Now Michele enjoys all the food she likes. It's just that now she enjoys it responsibly!
