In this episode, Laura shares her journey from being a top 10 Pro Fitness athlete to then finding out she had Hashimotos when doing blood work for IVF treatments. Laura knew that she didn’t want to be dependent on medication for life, and while she used it initially to bring her thyroid into balance and support her pregnancy, she also dove into her own research to figure out what else she could do to support her healing journey. She learned the lifestyle changes she needed to make in order to be able to get off her meds and has now been off them for 7 years! The body is designed to heal when we create the environment for it to be able to do so!
