Overcoming Hashimoto Disease: The Plan that Worked For Me


Our journey through health and wellness is profoundly personal, often marked by trials and triumphs unique to each one's own story. In my life, overcoming Hashimoto thyroiditis became a pivotal chapter, highlighting not just the struggle with an autoimmune condition but the triumph that comes from taking charge of my health. It was the first step that eventually led me to find the root cause of my health struggles, mold. It wasn't the meds that made a difference, but the lifestyle changes I made.

The Persistance of a Beagle

The Persistance of a Beagle
Scout’s behavior (and Mercy’s too) can often be bothersome to me. If it’s not asking for treats, they may be annoying me with requests to be let out in the middle of the night or to play or walk at an inconvenient time. Mercy, my lab, bless her heart, will ask but often is quick to give up on me. Scout, on the other hand, will keep knocking. Keep asking. Keep seeking me out. He pleads with me with his big beagle eyes and cries until I say yes to him. I think there’s a lesson here about not giving up.

Estrogen Reset

Estrogen Reset

I recently found out I have high levels of estrogen stored in my body and eating a diet rich in fiber helps to flush (ie poop) out the excess. Too much estrogen can wreak havoc on one’s body and I am tired of being tired. I am weary of the mood swings. I am ready to shed the extra pounds that keep piling on. 


So, since I want my body to function optimally, I plan to listen to my doctor and increase my fiber intake by eating more fruits and vegetables each day. In fact, I’m taking it a step further and cutting out meat for the next month -not indefinitely-it’s just a reset . Conventionally raised beef is loaded with antibiotics and growth hormones that stay with the animal and get passed on to the consumer. By eating grain-fed, non-organic meat, I am loading my body with even more estrogen.

Early Reflections On The Empty Nest

Early Reflections On The Empty Nest
I bought myself ice cream today. Dairy free, that is. I have been craving it the last couple  nights. 
That's because I am finding these first few nights without my daughter at home difficult and my emotions are getting the best of me. It's the time of day I would see her the most. When we would eat dinner   together and watch our favorite shows. Often she would have a bowl of ice cream too.

Hi There!

 
Hello! I'm Jen. Welcome to my little corner of the world. I am a midlife, empty-nest mom who has a heart for health, home, and hospitality. I help empty nest moms rediscover their purpose and find community by creating a wellness lifestyle and business. I invite you to join me in creating a non-toxic, happy, healthy home for you and your loved ones to thrive and enjoy life to the fullest!  I don't know about you, but I hope to have many good years left for adventures with my husband and playing with future grandkids. 

I used to struggle with Hashimoto's, a sluggish thyroid, fatigue, and and a heaviness of sadness that weighed me down—all brought on by exposure to mold. It felt overwhelming, like I was stuck in a fog with no way out.

Then I discovered Joy essential oil, which changed everything. It brought a spark of hope and helped me feel lighter, step by step. It was the first step to finding the healing I longed for. 

If you, like me, have struggled with health issues and are ready to write a different story, I am here to help you make a shift toward adopting holistic lifestyle habits that help you thrive, not just survive each day. Let me take the overwhelm out of where to start.

If that’s you, let's start a conversation
