Julie Diaz, a Certified Health Coach, Herbalist, and Aromatherapist, skillfully blends her personal journey with a comprehensive science-backed guide to help people conquer Hashimoto's disease, hypothyroidism, and thyroid nodules. Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's disease have become an epidemic, disproportionately affecting women but also men and children. Nearly 95% of hypothyroid conditions are caused by Hashimoto's, an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, resulting in widespread symptoms. These symptoms include weight gain, joint pain, fatigue, digestive issues, skin problems, hair loss, brain fog, and infertility, among others.
These issues can drastically impact the daily life and family members for those with these symptoms. Many people remain unaware that they have an underlying autoimmune condition.
This book provides practical advice on managing and healing autoimmune disease, using an effective, integrative approach. She shares her struggle with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's disease, recalling years of frustration and exhaustion trying to stay afloat while raising her children as a single working mother. After visiting a dozen doctors, she finally learned her diagnosis when she witnessed a doctor write 'Consistent with Hashimoto's' on a pad. This doctor withheld the diagnosis, prescribed levothyroxine, and said to come back in 6 months. Julie didn't take the med or return. This moment set Julie on a path of discovery, using a variety of healing methods that helped her to achieve remission. Julie's thyroid nodule protocol helped her shrink her nodules within two months and avoid surgery, saving her thyroid gland. This protocol, along with a comprehensive approach to healing, serves as a guide for anyone looking to naturally manage or reverse this condition, as well as other autoimmune conditions. You will also learn how to prevent disease and improve your overall health.
