Let's Talk Thyroid - Tracey Fry's Thyroid Story

Tracey Fry's Thyroid Story

Let's Talk Thyroid

play

07/21/21 • 56 min

Tracey Fry from Additive Free Lifestyle shares her personal thyroid story which began when she was 16 and was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. She later  was diagnosed with Graves and had radio active iodine treatment. Fortunately, not all of her thyroid was destroyed and she is now working with her integrative doctor to support her thyroid function.

Fortunately, about 6-7 years ago Tracey, along with her sister Jo started digging into information about food additives and preservatives and had already been living an additive free lifestyle.

We cover topics like additive free living, toxic load, root causes, essential oils, lifestyle approach, finding a doctor, stress and anxiety.

Meet Tracey Fry

Tracey is co-founder of the blog Additive Free Lifestyle and has been teaching people how to live additive free for almost 7 years. She is the co-author of two incredible cookbooks and the co-founder of the program Additive Free Made Easy. Tracey's story actually starts with her sister Joanne, who looked into additives as a way to manager behavioural issues with her daughter, but it soon became apparent that living additive free could benefit everyone. The more Tracey learnt, the more she implemented and the more her health improved. She is married with two daughters, who now all benefit from the knowledge she now has...

Let's Talk Thyroid - How to say no! A tough love episode.
play

09/23/20 • 32 min

Managing our day to day stress is important for our thyroid health but what if we could remove some of the things that cause this stress?

A root cause approach to stress management? Makes more sense doesn't it?

In order to do this, we need to learn how to say no!

You'd think it would be simple. Just say no. But we know that it's not that simple. 

We know that many of us with thyroid issues tend to have personalities that like to take on more than we can handle, we bottle things up and don't always express our ourselves well. It's no surprise to me that most of us have trouble saying no!

This episode is just as much for me as it might be for you!

I cover questions like:

Why don't we just say no?

How can you actually say no and keep your friends and self-respect? 

We also explore the idea of setting boundaries, knowing our core values, not over-scheduling our days and lots of practical tips on how to actually say no!

Let's Talk Thyroid - Nikki's Thyroid Story

Nikki's Thyroid Story

Let's Talk Thyroid

play

10/21/20 • 44 min

I'd love to introduce you to my friend Nikki. She was diagnosed with Hashimoto's about 10 years ago when she went to the doctor because she was having trouble catching her breath. I have heard other's describe this as 'air hunger'. Looking back she was also experiencing brain fog, hair loss & migraines and not long before she was diagnosed went through a very stressful time after her sister passed away.

Like many of us, when she was diagnosed she'd never heard of Hashimoto's and has done a lot of reading and research - although after wearing herself out with research has learnt to find her feet with how to manage her health.

Nikki is a church Pastor (of the church I go to) and has had to learn over time how to manage her personal boundaries in a very people-oriented line of work. We chat in this podcast episode a fair bit about stress, how she's protected her physical, mental and emotional health.

As it happens the last few weeks I’ve seen a theme emerge: stress & mood management!

We know that stress has a whole lot of negative impact on our overall thyroid health. There are quite a few tools in my stress/mood management toolkit, including diet, sleep, saying no, creating ‘white space’ but my essential oils are a very important tool in that toolkit!

In this episode I talk about:

My experience with essential oils – going from a smell hater (because they made me feel sick!) to a smell lover.

  • What essential oils are
  • How essential oils work (aromatically with our olfactory system and topically entering our bodies through the skin).
  • What essential oils are NOT
  • Different essential oils, that because of their chemistry are lovely for when you want to lift your mood/feel happy and energised.
  • Different essential oils, that because of their chemistry are perfect for when you want to calm and settled during the day, and restful at night.
  • A few of my favourite ways I use these oils in my daily routine.
  • If you’d like my current sleep roller recipe that I rub on my temples, forearms, bottoms of my feet… pretty much all over at bedtime as part of my bedtime rituals fill out the form on the shownotes and if you’d like a simple place to start with using essential oils as your own powerful & gentle tool in YOUR toolkit, check out the Emotional Wellness Starter Kit on the same page.

Let's Talk Thyroid - Your Christmas Survival Guide
play

11/25/20 • 30 min

Christmas means so many different things for each of us but for most, it's a busy season and can be quite stressful. So.... what are a few things we can do to make it fun, happy and not undo all the good we've been doing for our thyroid health?! Really it's more than Christmas survival, it's about thriving through Christmas :-)

Here are some of my thoughts - what works for my Christmas Survival plan. I'd love you to join the discussion in the Let's Talk Thyroid Community as I know you'll have some ideas to share with the rest of us too!

Firstly, I think it's important to release that in practical terms, Christmas is at least a month, if not 6 weeks. It's NOT just 1 day! Not in terms of the busyness, food, stress and relationships anyway. So, we need to tackle it as a season... even if it's a mini-season if we are going to survive Christmas well!

The topics discussed this week are:
1. Planning for success.
2. People - protecting our relationships!
3.  Essential oils - my favourite for emotional and physical support over Christmas.
4. Food - of course! 
5. A few handy hacks to make life easier.

Enjoy!

What is hope?
"desire accompanied by expectation of or belief in ..."a strong and confident expectation... it deals with things we can't see or have received.. hope is never a static or passive thing. It's dynamic, active, directive and life-sustaining". 

In this episode, I'll talk about these questions:

  1. What does it mean to have HOPE?
  2. What does it mean to be HOPE-less?
  3. How can you actually live in HOPE?

 
Be the hope for someone else!

Let's Talk Thyroid - Angela's Thyroid Story

Angela's Thyroid Story

Let's Talk Thyroid

play

02/03/21 • 41 min

Angela feels like she's spent her life tired and looking back thinks she's probably had thyroid issue for decades before being properly diagnosed. Although diagnosed with an underactive thyroid is wasn't until over a decade later she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. 

She says she didn't really identify with many of the typical symptoms so tended to downplay it, but can see that it's crept up on her to the point that the last 2 years she's required medication and has really embarked on the research and self-empowerment health journey!

This research has, in part led her down a path of switching to toxic free products, having been exposed to a lot of chemicals growing up on a farm and working as a Dental Nurse. She's switched her to clean cleaning products, personal care products and loves her doTERRA essential oils and their Lifelong Vitality supplements.

Angela is a Personal Trainer and is a firm believer in food, nutrition and gut health being critical to her over all health. She's found that a paleo based diet works best for her and has loved my Kickstart Your Thyroid Wellness Lifestyle Challenge so much that she's back for a second round ;-)

 Enjoy listening to Angela share her story.

I'm talking with Dr Sarah Myhill about her new book, The Underactive Thyroid: Do It Yourself because your doctor won't.

  • Getting the basics right
  • Things have to be done in a specific, logical order
  • Dr Myhill's approach to diagnosis
  • The importance of taking personal responsibility for your own health
  • Energy delivery mechanisms: body, brain and thyroid symptoms
  • Following a paleo-keto diet as the foundation stone
  • Low carb (not NO carb)
  • The 2 guts: upper gut (carnivore), lower gut (vegetarian)
  • The problem with the upper gut fermenting
  • Ketones + ketosis
  • Management of thyroid hormones
  • The circadian rhythm of thyroid hormones
  • Recommended ranges (by Dr Myhill) for thyroid hormones
  • Thyroid glandulars - what they are, the difference between therapeutic and food grade glandulars and where to source.

Dr Sarah Myhill qualified in medicine (with Honours) from Middlesex Hospital Medical School in 1981 and has since focused tirelessly on identifying and treating the underlying causes of health problems, especially the 'diseases of civilisation' with which we are beset in the West. She has worked in the NHS and private practice and for 17 years was the Hon Secretary of the British Society for Ecological Medicine, which focuses on the causes of disease and treating through diet, supplements and avoiding toxic stress. She helps to run and lecture at the Society's training courses and also lectures regularly on organophosphate poisoning, the problems of silicone, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
