I know it’s going to be a “thyroidy” day when I wake up with my lips burning as though wind-burnt, and an angry red rash around my eyes. And that’s just for starters. I have also lost the outer portions of my eyebrows and thought I had just over-plucked them!

I have recently given up wheat and sugar, and am already feeling the benefits – I’ve shed a few kilos and have less bloating and gut discomfort. I am also limiting dairy, caffeine and alcohol to great effect. I am loving all your advice. Thank you so much for your gentle, allowing approach, and all your research. I am trying to gradually alkalise my system. I whole-heartedly agree with you about Fructose. And about not limiting good fats. This way of eating has revolutionised my life. No more burning hunger, unstable glucose hypo attacks, headaches…the list goes on. Most importantly, I don’t feel alone any more. I don’t feel like a hypochondriac or a freak. Many, many thanks. x

I just had to comment on this one and say that after 5 years on Thyroxin, I stopped taking it 6 months ago after being introduced to kinesiology. My sister studies it and it sounded really bizarre to me at first, but I figured it couldnt hurt. Sure enough, within about 6 months I had to stop taking medication as my thyroid became OVER active! I still have my low days and I feel your pain with the inflammation! But on the whole Im further in my journey than I ever would have been had I stuck to the medication and didnt know about kinesiology. I recommend anyone with hormone problems give it a try.
