Hello, I’m Tara,
Do you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as exhaustion, brain fog, depression, anxiety, hormone fluctuations and digestive issues? Has your GP told you that your thyroid is ‘absolutely fine’ and told you to take an anti-depressant or just lose some weight to fix your concerns?
You’re not alone. Thyroid issues are still poorly understood by many health professionals out there.
In fact, it was my own thyroid journey that led me to investigate thyroid health and learn how it affects every aspect of your wellbeing.
After the birth of my third child, I started to experience signs of thyroid dysfunction. I had 3 kids over 4 years, and each was a C-section due to my small frame and being unable to push them out alone!
The toll of 3 pregnancies, 3 major operations, 40 months of breastfeeding and the stress of raising babies and toddlers was too much for my body.
I was doing everything ‘right’ – I ate well and took supplements during this time. But what I didn’t realise was how much of the key thyroid nutrients I would have needed during this time.
At first, my hair started to break. It wasn’t falling out, but it was dry, thin and unhealthy. Then over the first couple of years, my world was a blur. Between the constant demands of motherhood, sleepless nights and non-stop brain fog, I felt like I was underwater and overwhelmed all of the time.
Like many mums, I pushed through until I couldn’t anymore. By this time, I had 3 teenagers, a booming naturopathic practice and a nagging feeling that something wasn’t quite right.
