Selena's Hashimoto's Journey: Personalized Functional Medicine & Mold Remediation

In this episode of the Thyroid Strong Podcast, Dr. Emily Kiberd, chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner, interviews her powerhouse client Selena, who had been battling Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Initially skeptical, Selena shares her challenging journey through conventional and functional medicine, detailing her struggles with brain fog, fatigue, and weight loss resistance.

They discuss the personalized approach Dr. Kiberd provided, focusing on gut health, toxic load, and mold remediation, and customized lifestyle adjustments. For Selena, She was already doing all the things, including lifting weights, hitting her steps, and eating protein, but something was missing. She had already gone through multiple gut and mold protocols, but wasn't feeling better. In this episode, we talk about what we did differently on a very granular level and how we didn't work harder, we worked smarter together. We talk about the importance of personalized care, the order of operations in which we address root causes, and Selena's transformative six-month experience, which improved her energy levels and helped her lose 10 lbs.
