I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's 15 years ago. 13 years ago we discovered a small cancerous tumor on my thyroid and had it removed. I eat gluten free, take Armour Thyroid (mostly because I never felt good while on Synthroid/Levothyroxine) and I take supplements that help support my gut, liver and kidneys. I am human-sometimes I fall off the wagon of consistency with supplements, but when I feel my Hashimoto's starting to flare I go back on this regimen and it helps to calm everything down. In addition to supplements I practice hot yoga (the best detox IMO), practice diaphragmatic breathing to calm my Vagus nerve, use a rebounder periodically for lymphatic drainage and I have accupuncture one per month. It's frustrating to have to figure all of this out on my own, and it's not cheap, but there is nothing worse than feeling crappy and nothing better than feeling good so I do what I can to control what I can control

From ADHD to autism and sensory processing disorder, I've learned to navigate the sometimes wild world of living with my own and parenting other brains that experience the world differently from neurotypical folks.

But being neurodiverse can also have a set of challenges. Here are some of my favorite tools that I've discovered and used along the way to help me on my journey.

Multiple times a day. I have for years. That said, it's really important that you get the right kind of red light or it won't do anything for you. I have a post on my Instagram with all the research I've done on the topic.
