In this powerful episode of Thyroid Strong, I sit down with my inspiring client, Allison, a homeschooling mom of two who went from taking a 2-hour nap every dayery day and feeling like she was sitting on the sidelines of her life to hiking 10+ miles without crashing. Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, Allison once believed naps and low energy were just her “normal.” But after working together in the Thyroid Strong program, everything changed.

We discuss what wasn’t working in the past (here’s the deets a 6 month AIP protocol with no change in weight), how she took bold action on root causes like sleep apnea, H Pylori infection, mold exposure, and nervous system dysregulation, and the mindset shift that helped her reclaim her strength. This is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt like fatigue was running your life.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The real impact of chronic fatigue and how it stole moments with her kids
• How addressing sleep apnea and airway health helped restore her energy
• What it's like to lift heavy (hello, Turkish get-ups!) while healing Hashimoto’s
• The emotional toll of feeling “lazy” and how she rewrote that story
• Why regulating your nervous system can feel more energizing than a nap
• Her advice to any woman feeling stuck or discouraged by her diagnosis
