45: Story of Healing with Hashimoto's as a New Mum - Monica Harris

From Survival Mode to Dancing in the Living Room Monica Harris is a degree-qualified naturopath in Australia with more than 20 years of clinical experience. Despite her training, she didn't see her own Hashimoto's coming. Diagnosed while pregnant and working a high-pressure corporate job, Monica found herself in what she describes as survival mode as a new mother, until AIP and the support of an AIP Certified Coach changed everything. Within three weeks of starting AIP, every symptom she was tracking improved. Two months in, her thyroid antibodies dropped from over 1,000 to 297. In this episode, Jaime sits down with Monica (recorded solo due to scheduling conflicts) to talk about: What it was like to be a healthcare professional on the patient side of a chronic illness diagnosis The day-to-day reality of "survival mode" fatigue as a new mom with undiagnosed Hashimoto's How quickly her symptoms and antibody levels shifted once she started AIP What coaching support actually looked like for her, including the moments her coach had to be direct with her How she made AIP work practically with a young child at home (without the social isolation she expected) A naturopath's view on why "your labs are normal" doesn't always mean you feel normal, including the TSH/T4/T3/reverse T3 picture Why she pursued her AIP Certified Coach credential and built a 12-week program specifically for mothers with Hashimoto's See Monica's profile in The AIP Certified Coach Directory Book a Hashimoto's Assessment Call with Monica Learn more about the AIP Summit and sign up for our newsletter to get the latest news about upcoming live events
