Quick little life update since it’s been a hot sec since I’ve been consistent around here
Sammy Dobz is thriving over here - at 13 months old, she is constantly on the go and loves eating chicken, sweet potatoes and egg whites 🍠 and I love watching turn into the best momma in the whole world
As for me, Performing Nutrition continues to thrive - through our lifelong fat loss program, hormone and gut program and one off sessions, we’ve held over 1000 client sessions this year and numerous sessions where we help others with client care
Personally, I’ve recently been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease - if you don’t know what that is, it’s an autoimmune condition which my immune system attacks healthy thyroid hormone producing cells
For years I’ve felt as though I don’t have the same energy as others, had a tough time with weight loss (but I did it!), was cold all the time and workout recovery was always tough for me (my muscles / joints felt like I was 60)
it wasn’t until I advocated for myself with my own doctor over and over (I’ve had to find 3 new ones in the process) and personally paid for some lab work (I’m super fortunate with my medical credentials I can do this) to figure this out
looking back, I should’ve done it sooner, but such is life - special shout out to my own coach for pushing me to figure this stuff out and be more intentional about my recovery, workouts, and mindset
For now I’m managing everything through diet and lifestyle, no medication needed, and my goal is to put this disease into remission as much as possible - more to come
So, while my nutrition, household products, recovery, stress management and workouts may look a little bit different nowadays not much else is changing
I know there’s a lot of you out there that struggle with this condition as well. I’d love to hear any tips you have if you’re comfortable sharing!
