Please describe your symptoms:
For a few years now I have experienced nausea, trouble swallowing, hot flashes (not menopause only 35!), extreme anxiety, brain fog, and for a good while depression as a result from a thyroid condition called hashimotos. This disease has literally taken over my life. Anyone that knows me knows how true this is. On the surface, everything seems fine. You become really good at masking these symptoms because you really have no other choice, you have to go to work and just figure it out. I just knew that I could not continue living this way and I refused to accept that this was my new normal.
How did these symptoms affect your daily life:
Anyone that has suffered with anxiety knows how crippling this can be and the affect it has on your day-to-day life. For me, it was as simple as going into the grocery store, the bank or even getting drinks and having dinner with friends. I love doing these things. I love being social, and I love a good Home Goods or TJMax trip, but I just couldn’t handle these situations for so long. I wasn’t ever fully present. I’ve been to numerous doctors, specialists, on multiple medications for anxiety, depression, acid reflux. For thyroid sufferers, it is a journey, and if your labs look fine, they normally just send you away and tell you that there is nothing that they can do to help. You have to be your own healthcare advocate.
How is the quality of your life now:
I have been seeing Ashley Yates for about a month and half now and honestly, I feel like my old self again. I just feel good. I genuinely feel happy and have more energy as a result of good nutrition and supplements. I thought I was pretty healthy, but it turns out that I was putting foods into my body that were causing more harm than good. Ashley really educated me on the foods I have been eating and how certain foods like gluten and soy can have adverse effects on the body (especially with my thyroid) and which foods like those enriched in iodine and protein supplements would actually repair cells in my body. And it totally worked. I keep saying to people that Ashley is kind of like a miracle worker. I went into this not having much hope and not expecting that anything would actually change. However, I figured, what do I have to lose? I am so glad that I came in for a visit and I truly hope that my story will help someone suffering from similar issues to get them back on the right path to a much healthier and happier life.
