Aimee McNew - The Everything Guide to Hashimotos Thyroiditis: A Healing Plan for Managing Symptoms Naturally

Dear Reader,

After struggling for more than a decade with Hashimotos thyroiditis, and spending much of that floundering without a clear path to wellness, I couldnt be more passionate about helping people avoid the same frustration. What felt like an impossible climb out of fatigue, endless weight gain, and depression actually became a stunning transformation. Within 6 months of utilizing the protocols outlined in this book, I had lost more than 50 pounds and felt like a brand-new person. Within a year I had gone from a size 16 to a size 2, became a runner, and started doing yoga. This dramatic change is what inspired me to become a nutritionist.

Ive found that as long as I maintain my lifestyle of body-focused wellness and my thyroid-friendly Paleo diet, I do not have relapses back into the debilitating fatigue and depression that ruled my life for so long. While its been years since I experienced the crushing weight of uncontrolled Hashimotos, I will never forget how it felt to be so helpless when it came to understanding my body. I hope that this book will help you fast-track your way to a place of health, healing, and renewed vitality!

Aimee McNew, MNT
