Ep. 26 - How Homeopathic Remedies Work
Feb 26, 201900:49:54Tap to summarizeLast month, I had the opportunity to share with you a fun conversation that I had with my friend and colleague Dr. Kathi Fry. Kathi is a master homeopath -- she’s knowledgeable, conversational, full of zest and she has a love affair with alternative medicine. Kathi and I have a lot in common. We both have a lot of energy. We both inspire others to be their best. And, we both believe in the body’s innate ability to heal. I received so much positive feedback from the previous podcast episode that Kathi and I decided to do a Part 2! In our second conversation Kathi and I tackle how homeopathic remedies work and we also go over a couple of remedies for common hypothyroid conditions. I think you’ll find this podcast episode just as sweet and informative as the last one. - - - A thyroid plan doesn’t have to be intense from the beginning.

Ep. 25 - Create a Lasting Thyroid Plan
Jan 30, 201900:42:20Tap to summarizeQuick fixes don’t last. What really works when we’re wanting a deep change (whether that change be physical or emotional) is consistency over a long period of time. When working with the thyroid gland, most of us try things here and there. Some of us get so desperate that we’re changing things constantly. Practitioners, supplements, ideas and philosophies get mixed together and suddenly all of our efforts don’t add up to anything at all. Instead of trying “everything under the sun,” we need to make a plan, then follow and test the plan. Monitor the plan over a course of a year and evaluate if it’s working for you. Having a plan or a road map, doesn’t mean that you’re never going to detour. It just means that you’re looking ahead and you know where you want to go. I had the opportunity to connect with one of my sweet friends and colleagues, Dr. Kathi Fry. In our time together, Dr. Kathi shares how she made the journey to becoming a Master Homeopath. Dr. Kathi is a pure delight and talks with us about the thyroid gland itself and how homeopathics might fit into your thyroid plan. Create a Long-Term Thyroid Plan A conversation between Dr. Kathi Fry (Master Homeopath) https://www.drkathifry.com and Kristin Savory, L.A.C. (Thyroid Therapist) http://www.kristinsavory.com Step 1: Determine Your Comfort Zone No two people are going to feel comfortable tackling their thyroid issues in the same way. The challenge is that we often get swayed and lose track of what feels right to us. Instead of following down someone else’s path, take some time and determine your comfort zone. What’s your thyroid history? Do you want to go natural? Are you ok using both Western medications with alternative therapeutics. If yes, what’s your ratio between each? What’s your lifestyle: how much time do you have to dedicate towards self care? Step 2: Generate Your Team Once you have a better idea of where you stand, then you’re ready to create your team. Depending on your answers to step one, you’ll be more comfortable and confident putting together your thyroid team. If you’re working with multiple practitioners, make sure to assign one practitioner as your lead. Every doctor (alternative or otherwise) will have a different opinion, so assigning a lead will help minimize confusion over the long haul. Step 3: Be ProActive Regardless of who you’re working with, you must be proactive. Take their advice and put it into action. Ask yourself, “now, what can I do?” What shifts in your lifestyle are you willing to make? Are you willing to change your food, your sleep? What about your thought patterns? Or your exercise? Decipher what feels doable. Remember once you make your thyroid plan, it’s up to you to follow through. Keep it realistic. Step 4: Add in “I Will” Statements Once you determine what is doable, turn those ideas onto “I will” statements: I will eat more veggies. I will be kind to myself. I will take my supplements everyday I will reach out for support. Once you have your list of “I will’s” then put that list in a visible area. Tape it to your mirror, your fridge or have it in your car. Read it often and start making the magic happen. Step 5: Read, Rinse, Repeat The best part about a plan is that they can shift and change. Plans are a roadmap for success. You can make it artsy or keep it straightforward. Most important is to enjoy. Remember, road maps are meant as a guide. Revisit often and tweak. Keep your plan in a visible area so that you can check in with it and visualize how your team is working with you and for you.
