The Science Behind Hashimoto’s
Learn why you developed Hashimoto’s, why you haven’t been able to get better, and the simple solution, based in science, to resolve it.
When I had Hashimoto’s, I used to think it was a mystery illness.
Doctors and practitioners had no real explanation for where it came from.
Think about that for a second.
If they didn’t know what caused Hashimoto’s, then how could they possibly help me solve it? After all, I didn’t want to just manage my symptoms. I wanted to get rid of them!
The good news is, Hashimoto’s is NOT a mystery illness.
There is a simple solution to permanently resolve your Hashimoto’s, and it starts with your nervous system...
The Autonomic
Nervous System:
The Sympathetic
Nervous System (SNS)
and
The Parasympathetic
Nervous System (PNS)
The autonomic nervous system is comprised of two parts – the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS).
The SNS is responsible for your fight or flight response, and the PNS nervous system is responsible for healing and self-repair.
Your body is naturally made to live out of the PNS. Unfortunately, if you have Hashimoto’s, it's a clear sign your body has been living in the SNS and a constant state of fight or flight.
Unknowingly trapped in the SNS, your body developed Hashimoto’s and all your symptoms. Fatigue, leaky gut, weight gain, hair loss, hormone imbalances, brain fog, and body pain are all common Hashimoto's symptoms.
Why does this happen?
Stress.
You are like me and every student that I have worked with.
On an unconscious level, you have felt a deep sense of powerlessness and lack of control in your life. This experience has caused life events to feel particularly stressful and overwhelming. No matter what you do, you’ve been unable to make true and lasting changes.
For me, life stressors seemed to linger deep inside of me, accumulating and never getting fully resolved, no matter how much talk therapy, yoga, meditation, exercising, crying, or journaling I did (and I used to be a licensed psychotherapist!). It took a massive toll on both my physical and mental health, as you can read in my story.
Like me, you suppressed the painful life events. You pushed them deep down into your body and continued to move forward. Anytime something big popped up in your life – the death of a loved one, a breakup, marriage, pregnancy, or divorce –you told yourself, “Yikes, I’ll just deal with that later.”
Eventually, your body couldn’t handle the accumulation of suppressed stress. Finally, like an overfull glass of water, it reached a tipping point. Then came one more stressful life event that pushed your body over the edge into the SNS and fight or flight. It is here, that your Hashimoto’s developed.
Stress, and stress alone, is what caused your Hashimoto’s, and the ongoing stress of your life is the reason your body hasn’t been able to heal.
With The Hashimoto’s Fix, we’ll get your immune system back on track by eliminating chronic stress. In a matter of weeks, your Hashimoto’s will be fully resolved. It’s a simple, science-based pathway to healing. As The Hashimoto’s Expert, I’ll help guide you down it so that you can join my other students in achieving a 100% success rate.
The Sympathetic Nervous System
(SNS)
Your body isn’t meant to be in constant “fight or flight.”
Once in the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), fight or flight gets activated. Fight or flight is designed to be activated for a few hours at most.
Unfortunately, fight or flight cannot differentiate between an actual threat, such as a robbery or a car accident, and the ongoing stress of your everyday life, such as marriage, work, children, and finances.
This ongoing stress, called chronic stress, trips your fight or flight and keeps it turned on. Chronic stress is like a hand pressed against the "on" switch, trapping your body in fight or flight.
Trapped in the SNS and fight or flight, your body dysregulates and breaks down. The stress hormone cortisol floods your body. Helpful in small doses, it is extremely detrimental when continually released.
Dysregulation causes your immune system to become compromised, overacting and attacking your thyroid. It is here that Hashimoto's develops, as do your symptoms, such as brain fog, fatigue, hair loss, and weight gain.
The digestive system also becomes compromised. This causes symptoms such as the leaky gut, IBS, food sensitivities, and allergies.
In the SNS, the body cannot heal, and it cannot self-repair.
While living in the SNS, the best you can do is manage your Hashimoto’s symptoms through methods like prescription medication, blood work, lab testing, supplements, and restrictive food diets for the rest of your life.
What no one is talking about, and I wished I’d known earlier, is that doctors, naturopaths, nutritionists, and alternative medicine practitioners ALL work out of the SNS.
This is why you’ve been unable to fully heal from Hashimoto’s using their methods.
As long as you’re stuck in the SNS, your body is susceptible. So the doors are wide open to developing more autoimmune disorders and symptoms. Psst... this is what happened to me (I had eight autoimmune disorders by the end) and it’s something I frequently see in my students.
Luckily, there’s light at the end of this tunnel.
I want you to know that no matter how long you’ve had your Hashimoto’s or how old you are, your body is incredible. It’s waiting to start healing and self-repairing, naturally, all on its own.
Everything you need to become healthy is already inside of you!
All you need to do? Exit the SNS by eliminating your chronic stress. This removes the hand from the “on” switch, allowing fight or flight to finally turn "off.”
Out of fight or flight, your body will jump right back into the PNS, naturally starting to heal and self-repair.
The Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS)
When you eliminate chronic stress, your body can heal itself.
The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is also known as “rest and digest.” Finally, out of fight or flight, your body enters back into a state of homeostasis and self-regulation. All parts begin to work as they were designed, and your body rapidly begins to heal and self-repair.
In the PNS, the stress hormone cortisol returns to normal levels, as does your weight, hormones, and metabolism.
Your immune system stops attacking your thyroid and returns to normal functioning. As a result, you no longer have Hashimoto's.
Your digestive system also goes back to normal functioning, naturally resolving issues such as leaky gut, IBS, food sensitivities, and allergies.
"For me, this is the truth. The Hashimoto’s Fix is the real deal. Chronic stress is what's causing all of your problems.”
— Kristen L.
This entire process happens
rapidly, in a matter of weeks.
It’s all done without the need for prescription medication, blood work, lab testing, supplements, or restrictive food diets.
Most importantly, in the PNS, your body is in a constant state of healing and self-repair.
You fully resolve your Hashimoto’s and your symptoms (no more Hashimoto’s, yay!), and your body can keep you healthy for the long run. In the PNS, it continues to naturally heal, detox, cleanse, and self-repair – all on its own.
Imagine being Hashimoto's-free for the rest of your life!
This doesn’t have to be a pipe dream. You can become the healthiest you’ve ever been and never have to worry about Hashimoto’s, autoimmune disorders, or chronic stress again.
You can dive back into the swimming pool of life, soaking in the sunshine, breathing in the beautiful air, and rejoicing in a life that is fully healthy and uniquely You.
Hashimoto’s will no longer be your calling card.
Instead, reveal the wonderful, thoughtful, and curious woman that you are naturally, bursting with energy and life. The real You that has been hiding because of your Hashimoto’s finally gets to make her debut!
Experience a life worth living.
You will leave behind the complicated routines, supplements, food diets, specialized practitioners, doctors, and medication.
With Hashimoto’s permanently gone, my students are free to ween off their prescription medication with the help of their doctors. They are also able to start reintroducing foods when they feel ready. I want you to know, this can be you!
Sounds great… But how can this happen?
All you need to do is eliminate your experience of chronic stress to resolve your Hashimoto's. Then, rapidly, in a few quick weeks, your body will enter into the PNS and start to heal and self-repair.
In The Hashimoto's Fix, you’ll learn that stress is an internal experience coming from you, and you are in control of it. You’ll learn how to resolve your experience of chronic stress, and in turn, learn a new and adaptive way to thrive.
Change starts from the inside, and it starts with You. But as your teacher and The Hashimoto’s Expert, I’ll guide you, holding your hand and supporting you every step of the way. Let me help you free yourself of Hashimoto's for good!
Those things you always loved doing but stopped because of your Hashimoto’s?
It’s time to welcome them back into your life.
