Nikki's Thyroid Story
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.

Essential oils as a gentle & powerful tool for mood management
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.

Every cell in your body needs thyroid hormones, including your reproduction cells! It follows that if our thyroid isn't working properly that that can contribute toward period problems.
