What's the Deal with Hashimoto's with Ali Damron

When I started nutrition coaching 5 years ago, I had not clue what Hashimoto's was and I didn't work with any Hashimoto's clients. Fast forward to today and now in each round of Lift to Get Lean, I can always count on a handful of clients dealing with this autoimmune disease.  From the Mayo Clinic: Hashimoto's is a condition in which your immune system attacks your thyroid, a small gland at the base of your neck below your Adam's apple. The thyroid gland is part of your endocrine system, which produces hormones that coordinate many of your body's functions. Symptoms include: Constipation Always cold Weight gain or stubborn weight loss Thinning hair Joint pain Fatigue Heavy or irregular periods In this episode, Ali explains not only what we should be looking for, but also how can heal from the disease, what our nutrition needs to look like and should one try to lose weight while dealing with Hashimoto's.  The take home message is, gut health is extremely important and lifestyle factors play a huge role in how you look and feel.
