The best person to write a book on living healthy with Hashimotos disease is someone who has lived with it and figured it out. Vikki Hibberd researched the answers thoroughly and her book encourages others dealing with Hashimotos Disease to find their healthy balance in life.

Vikkis brings new insight into Hashimotos autoimmune disease and outlines a real path to relief. Her journey with Hashimotos has brought her to a place of healing and a desire to help others. Her advice for detox and cleansing toxins from our lives is applicable not only to Hashimotos, but is great advice to anyone who wants to live a healthier life.

Author Vikki Hibberd has written a very candid and insightful narrative. This book will be helpful to anyone suffering from Hashimotos Disease.

Randy Brienen

I have known Vikki since our high school days in central Illinois and can say I honestly didnt know the depth of her struggles. She has pulled back curtain on this disease while revealing the ups and downs during her journey.

Debra Brienen

Live Healthy with Hashimotos Disease was an inspiring and informative book to read. The book is instructive in not only understanding Hashimotos Disease but also the importance of a balanced healthy lifestyle. The author shares many personal struggles that undoubtingly are shared with many unknowing out there. The overall takeaway is the importance of dealing with the root causes of disease. Then tailoring treatment to the individual, and not rejecting the many practical, time-tested alternative therapies that are available today.

Ethan Whitfield

This book on Hashimotos disease was a real eye opener for me. Vikki spoke not only from her own personal experience with this terrible disease, but also from a yoga teachers, massage therapists, and Ayurvedic practitioners point of view. She is very knowledgeable on this topic and with her Ayurvedic practice I have known Vikki all my life, and shes a very honest, smart, loving, and caring person. Vikki believes in herself and is open to help anyone who seeks the truth about their disease and the healing process of it.

Jeri Draper

Vikki has produced a very positive, encouraging, informative read. Ayurvedic practice is defined concerning its use in healing the body. I found the book a quick easy read with a lot of detail, as well as, encouragement towards health.

Mary Diefendorf

Being diagnosed with thyroid disease over thirty-five years ago and having tried so many all-natural remedies, Vikkis insight is the light at the light at the end of a dark tunnel. Finally, an easy-to-read and understand book that will open eyes and be a guide on how to heal oneself. I will definitely be recommending this to all my clients suffering with any autoimmune disease.

Elmira A. Akama, Owner of MiraSpa

What a great and informative read! I learned so much more about this disease and how important it is to listen to your body. This book is very well written and easy to understand. It gives me hope in dealing with Hashimotos.

Stefanie Murrell

In our modern-day society where everyone is looking for a quick fix or pill to cure our diseases, its refreshing to learn about an approach to treating the whole person rather than just the disease. Vikki details in her book the various ways one can holistically approach Hashimotos disease and find joy and balance in life again.

Deirdre Gerstenberger, Owner of Barre Studios

For my three children Isaac, Deirdre, Ethan, and their families: each of you has a unique talent that have been my guides to always strive to be better.

Love you to the moon and back Mo.

This book is also dedicated to all the people who have been diagnosed with Hashimotos disease and feel completely frustrated and want to feel healthy again.

Chapter 1:

My Journey Getting Diagnosed and Learning Methods of Treatment

Hashimotos disease is not pretty. You think you are going crazy half the time, and when you are finally diagnosed, you begin to see that it didnt just happen.

In my mid-twenties, I began to have very heavy periods, loosing slabs of blood clots that looked like packaged liver. I lost thirty pounds and was always in pain. I went to seven physicians before anyone diagnosed that I had a tumor at the age of twenty-seven. How could this have happened to me? I was young, healthy, a vegetarian, had my children at home everything and anything clean and natural. I ended up having a hysterectomy after they found a thirteen pound tumor on my uterus that had tucked itself under the intestines.
