Hashimoto's Journey to Wellness | KETO // CARNIVORE

hi I have a talk to you guys in about three weeks a lot has happened in those three weeks I don't feel like I need to touch on that like we all know what's going on and it sucks for pretty much everybody involved today I'm gonna talk about my Hashimoto's journey I already wrote a blog about this a few days ago it's our knee up so if you want to check that out instead of watching the YouTube video I'll leave the link in the description or you can just head over to Nisha loves it dot blog and you can read that um I'm gonna start before my wife she murders began because we all know things trigger Hashimoto's and some of it to start presenting itself so for authority of my Hashimoto's symptoms I was in a unhealthy relationship I was married and I got divorced and I got a breast augmentation all in a very I think short amount of time started in 2006 ended in 2012 ish I think you know I tend to bulk things like that out I'm sure most people do over that time I lost a lot of weight in an unhealthy way being under stress being very self-conscious having a lot of body image issues hence the breast augmentation I have looked into having them removed but I didn't want to do that until I had breastfed successfully because I didn't want to interfere with all that so I am looking into that that will probably happen in the future but that is what I think triggered my Hashimoto's to rear its ugly head the trauma the stress the emotional trauma and the physical trauma of having a foreign object placed into your body and my body obviously saw that as a problem and that's where my symptoms started showing up slowly at first and then more vigorously later they didn't show up in a substantial way until I was already friends with Ken but we weren't actually together and then once we were together it's like my symptoms literally just like picked up and took off and so that caused a lot of issues in our relationship because Hashimoto's is not a thing that can be like yep that's what you have especially if the person you're with has only known this version of you and it's a very personality based disease when it would fit demoys so for example I'm a very lively person I'm very goal-oriented I am driven I like getting out having fun and venture travel I love all that stuff and when my Hashimoto's started showing up I was none of those things I was a very seemed lazy I seemed unmotivated I seemed uninterested I've seemed out of touch I'm kind of gonna fog I think an intelligent I had a lot of brain fog I was in pain constantly my hair started falling out falling out and I have a lot of it as you can tell you can see my scalp you like even now you can't unless I part my hair you can see my scalp without me parting my hair so when the light shone when the light shined on my hair you could just see all scalp and that had never helped it happen to me I've always had very thick hair I considered quitting nursing school which that was one of the first things that happened to me that I kind of snapped it into my consciousness that that's not you that's not normal you would never quit nursing school I was already an LPN and I was doing the bridge program I worked very hard to get back into the RN program it was something that I had wanted to do forever I'd been a nurse my whole inline whole entire life I was a CNA then I was Nell pan and then now obviously I'm the aren't so for me to consider quitting in the middle of it without any cause whatsoever I mean there's goal is hard but I was passing and I was doing fine I wasn't one I didn't have an A+ no I don't test well and a lot of anxiety and that was another thing that reared its ugly head have always been an anxious person but then my anxiety had become this heavy based upon my back and it was something I couldn't control it was out of control for sure it was crippling some days to the point where I would just be scared that I was dying I had lots of thoughts just puffs that didn't they we're not rational they had no basis they were just my brain being going going going going going and being in this place unwellness I'm very depressed a cry old lot a lot for no reason whatsoever I was in this very dark place without reason because of the ton of I was in a very healthy relationship with him I had soundly graduated our middle school I had my dream job I was in labor delivery which is where I'd always wanted to be I worked with amazing nurses and I made amazing friends there I can't imagine if I had been in a job that I hated that caused more stress and more pain and more anxiety I can't even imagine that I was very lucky to be in a good place in my life when the hashimoto's truly presented itself that I was among people who wouldn't abandon me and who saw me for who I really was and not for what I was becoming so right around the time that I started realizing that I was having thoughts that were inappropriate and that I felt awful and I was only 28 years old with 27 really when it truly started 28 when it was hardcore and it's Pete I started doing some research and digging into symptoms I was having and seeing anything anyone else was going through what I was going through at the age that I was because some of the things that I was having a 28 year old young lady should not have I was so tired that I wouldn't move to the bed to the couch moved to the bed to the couch and that's just it and I would want to go do stuff and I would be like I don't want to I'm tired I don't want to and for him he just thought that I was six and break up with him then I wasn't interested in him and that making plans to just get out of the relationship because why would that be okay because that's how it presented itself ah and no matter how many times I said no that's not true I love you I am just going through some stuff right now I don't really I don't know what it is but no it's not you I promise I love you I'm not going anywhere you know we were both at this place where what I said and what I did didn't match and so after doing a lot of research and digging and just me knowing that this isn't who I am and this isn't who I want to be and I've got to do something to fix it I finally what's happening with my life situation found some women who had these symptoms and a lot of them said that they had had breast implants a lot of them had said they were on birth control and I was on the NuvaRing around the time that all this started happening to and had to trash it because I was having just insane side effects from it and then also some of them said that they had been diagnosed with Hashimoto's so one night me and Kim we're sitting out on the pool deck at our old house and we just basically were happening out and I had to just I couldn't even have an argument because I had no brain capacity for banter like I just couldn't I would just cry and I had no answers and I was so I would just cry we couldn't even hold an intelligent conversation with each other and that was super frustrating for me as well so somehow I managed to family and say that I want you to figure out what's wrong with me because I'm being honest I'm being truthful and I know that what I'm saying in my actions don't match up but I am Telling You that if I wanted all those things do you think I want just go I would just leave I would be going already identify can do it again if I wanted to do it I would be gone so I'm telling you there's something wrong here and I don't know what it is but I need you to help me figure it out and I think that it may be thyroid my mom had been done diagnosed with Hashimoto's too a few years back so it's genetic and then also with all the things that had happened the drama of the trauma the breast implant the birth control all that stuff was just like a domino effect for my symptoms so we did my labs and my loved normal but he still thought given my research his research and my mom's diagnosis of Hashimoto's that it could potentially be Hashimoto's in its early stages now to say that it was in its early stages it's kind of because I don't care what my lab said my body said I am sick I'm sick my symptoms were that of true Hashimoto's in full-blown capacity so even though my labs were normal I clearly was unwell to the point where it was an issue for me it was an issue for my relationship it was an issue for my future so he bit me on nitrous roid which is a thyroid just the desiccated thyroid medication and my symptoms got a little bigger but honestly they weren't substantially different I'm still feeling like a shadow of my former self so this went on for probably six months before I started giving Kido a chance which he had already been promoting keto on his YouTube channel and to his patients and he'd been doing it himself and had seen awesome results so I family gave him decided I would give it a shot I had mono around this time and I thought well you know maybe it will just help me get better from the mono which it did I got better in a week and that's almost unheard of when you have mono usually you're down for the count for like six weeks but I was back at work within a week and I was down five pounds of inflammation and I felt better than I have in a long time it was I can see a difference in seven days which is crazy and not everyone will say those results but under saying what happened to me so don't expect that for you and maybe will it make it won't just like don't compare your story to other people because other people will heal faster and other people will heal slower you have to heal at the right that's appropriate for you and your body and you can't do anything to make it go faster sometimes and sometimes you can but we're not gonna get into that today so the keto that I was doing at that time was basically lazy dirty keto so you know pizza without the Christ's burgers without the bun lots of fat Barnes hmm basically just really basic keto avocados I was still eating a lot of time I go in a lot of manage and stuff like that but I was still seeing so many benefits just from changing over to Whole Foods low-carb I was probably 50 grams of total carbs at that time went under and I kept cranking the down the carbon I'm down more and more and more and the more I did that the more benefits I saw the better I felt the more energy I had to the point where I could finally feel like I was me again and that is something I will never be able to explain to someone who hasn't been through this but if you have been through this then you know what I'm talking about it's it's heavy and I've put this in the blog because this is the only way I can explain it it's like when you were sick you're having an out-of-body and out-of-body experience and you can see yourself being this person and doing these things and saying these things and acting this way and you want to stop and you want to change and you want to be your old self again and you just can't you have no control over anything and it's the most frustrating thing to happen especially when you were a person who was completely the opposite to see yourself go going through this thing and doing all these things and getting on your own nerves most of the time and still being unable to change what's happening I cannot explain to you how frustrating that is so when you come out of that the amount of relief that came from that the amount of relief that it gave to Kim that him trusting me was the right call and then I was telling the truth and then I wasn't that person it just made all the difference in the world our relationship is so good and I don't think you know one of us who thought that it was going to me I think we both thought we had made a mistake and then we were not right for each other and that we had rushed into things bla bla bla bla bla but also at the same time but this felt like but I don't believe that about him and I don't believe that about her like I guess we've had just enough faith to get us through that rocky part to get us to where we are now and I'm so grateful for that I don't know how to explain how grateful I am to be in the kind of relationship that I am in right now one in the it is easy and when I mean easy I don't mean perfect I mean it's easy because we just get each other we just are in tune we know each other to the like going through that but us and and everything that happened after that to you we've been put through so much then we have been tested so much that you can pretty much just throw anything at us at this point and you're not gonna break us because we were tested back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back with stuff dad whoa none of us neither one of us could have ever bargained for and so although all that stuff really sucked it was a blessing because our relationship is so strong now and we just trust each other to the point of why he could put a gun to my head and tell me that there is not a bullet in the chamber and I would believe him and let him pull the trigger and hang five the fireside so even though all of this sucked really bad it got me to a place and got us to a place where I couldn't ask for anything better I guess going through the fire no pun intended cleansed a lot of things and set us up for success hopefully you know obviously our story's not over but I'm going to tell you guys exactly what I did to make my Hashimoto's be where it is now which is in remission whatever you want to call it in a place where I am NOT suffering I am thriving so obviously through all this I had a baby and I was Tino through that keto now breastfeeding carnivore a lot of the time so what I eat in a day I've definitely evolved like I said in the beginning of this bench heavy now it's bench light if any and I eat a lot of steak a lot of ribs moistures when I can get out of the house and have oysters seafood they can just open meat basically and every now and then I'll have a summer salad with with some you know tomatoes avocado olives Parmesan cheese that kind of thing very rarely will we have even brussel sprouts in eat brussel sprouts anymore our day of eating is super simple we have evolved to the point where we are simplified we only eat whole foods most of the time now there's a few products that since I've been in quarantine I have been utilizing to kind of keep my cravings down because honestly while breastfeeding I have had way more cravings than I ever did while I was pregnant which is weird but it is what it is but when I feel best is when I cut out everything but animal products and animal by-products so meat and things like butter hard cheeses eggs and honestly I feel better when I cut out dairy but oh that's really hard but that is where I feel the best carnivore is where I thrive it's where my body thrives my mental clarity is insane my energy level is through the roof I sleep better when my baby doesn't wake me up I am at my optimum weight right now I lost the last few pounds of my baby weight plus some on carnivore that's what got me here I'm on the lowest dose of center I'm Nelson 3 nature thyroid or armor desiccated thyroid in general is where you want to be and I don't care what name brand it is really matter to me as long as it's desiccated that's and not synthroid that's the main thing so levothyroxine and centauri they're the same thing they're fake t3 and this idiot thyroid is real and I thrive with that and carnivore and a lot of electrolytes a lot of salt and a lot of water I am breastfeeding so I drink all the time I've been drinking through this whole video so I also take iodine I put it in my coffee in the morning I put two drops in there in my coffee and like single drops drop down I take vitamin d3 and that's pretty much it I get my vitamins and minerals from the food that I eat I get my supplements from the food that I eat I eat liver also chicken livers what I like dr. berry keeps beef liver kind of I prefer chicken liver but that's it that's I mean I getting my body healthy was so simple and I just didn't have the right information and that's really upsetting to me that it was such an easy answer it just stopped eating colors and I was eating the right cards okay for a very long time I didn't paleo in whole 30:17 you know sweet potatoes it Ezekiel bread and quinoa and grilled chicken and avocado and like I was doing the things that I thought I was supposed to be doing but all of that was doing was trading a poison for a different poison and it didn't help me at all and when I took all that stuff out and trickled in slowly over several years did I take everything out because the beginning I was eating a lot of nuts and a lot of edge like I said now I'm very rarely eat nuts really even I stay pretty true to meat products and when I say products I don't mean like a food product I mean ribs steak hamburger chicken pork all those things just whole things with one ingredient it's just a freakin cow it's just a chicken it's just two oyster those kind of things is where my health is optimized so it's been a long journey to get here it's sucked a lot I've learned a lot I think I'm a completely different person I completely different person in the last even four months and even in the last four weeks as you can tell I'm not wearing any makeup my hair is just in its natural state of chaos I am have just learned to accept things in their purest form including myself and I mean I'm not saying I won't ever wear makeup again or I'll never fix my hair again I just don't feel the need to do it all the time I don't feel the need to push myself to be more than what I am on my own and I think that that's pretty cool life is a learning experience and some of us get a lot of knowledge in earlier than others so I just want to share my knowledge with other people and this is the way I could do it through YouTube through my blog on Facebook on Instagram all of that stuff so that's what I'm here to do sure just you know who I am every day raw and real and sometimes I'm glam and sometimes I am a tomboy and I'm everything in-between two and I'm just very happy to be here and be able to do this and be able to do this and a healthy body so I hope that you learned something from my story I hope that you've been inspired a little bit if you have Hashimoto's to give low-carb keto a try make sure you are doing it the way that it suits you so you can sustain it that will change the longer you do it I only need 20 grams of total carbs and sometimes I eat lower than that and that's where me and tons of people see the best results and we count total carbs not nag carbs and that's what it works from my body and my health so if you learned something from this make sure to leave me a comment or hit that thumb button and if you want to hang out with me some more hit that subscribe button and make sure that you don't miss my next video so thanks for hanging out with me you guys I hope that you are happy healthy and staying mentally and physically well during this crappy time and American history and I'll see you in the
