Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s Disease Thyroid Nation Radio Interview

I was recently interviewed by Diana Bowman on Thyroid Nation in a discussion about Hashimoto's disease and hypothyroidism
Diana : Hi everybody! Welcome to the third week, episode three, of Thyroid Nation Radio Talk Show Live and Podcast. I'm Diana Bowman, founder of thyroidnation.com.

Tiffany: And I'm Tiffany Mladinich [SP] of gratefulgarden.biz.

Diana: Also known as Diana and Tiffany, bringing you the voices of thyroid advocates, clinicians, bloggers and thyroid thrivers everywhere. In just a few minutes, we'll be talking live with Dr. Nikolas Hedberg [SP]. I know that, I for one, am really excited. We've had kind of a working relationship, Dr. Hedberg and I, over the last, I don't know, seven or eight months. I have lots of articles of his on my site, which are fabulous. Tiffany, I'm excited. Are you excited?

Tiffany: Yes, I am. I, for one, appreciate Dr. Hedberg's thorough and very easy to understand approach in his articles, and love the fact that he was drawn to functional medicine model because it leaves no stone upturned. Which so many of us need because there's so many different reasons, problems, and approaches, that no one should be treated as a lab test or in a cookie cutter kind of way. So really, really just so excited to talk to him. I love the fact that he offers his free Thyroid Ear course through his website, drhedberg.com. So it's amazing and I'm just so excited to talk to him. I truly enjoy reading his articles. They're very easy to understand and it doesn't surprise me at all that he's a regular speaker at integrative medicine conferences, and is also a consultant for other practitioners on very difficult cases. I'm excited to hear from him today.

Diana: Yeah, me too. I'm really excited.

Tiffany: I know you've got some exciting news, Diana, that you want to share with everyone first.

Diana: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. If you guys tuned in last week, which I hope you did, you know we were talking to the fabulous Isabella Wentz [SP]. If you missed it, though, you can always go back to Blog Talk Radio or the Thyroid Nation Radio page, and scroll down and you can find it there and listen to it, because it was wonderful and she was fabulous. Also, she talked about an anti-inflammatory green smoothie on the show, and I went and I put it back in the notes on the Blog Talk Radio page. So if you feel like it and want to see that, you can log into Blog Talk Radio, find Thyroid Nation, follow us, and in the notes, you'll see the wonderful recipe that I put on there from Isabella.

Also, we celebrated our one year anniversary on the 22nd of February, which we never mentioned on the first show, which is why we chose that day, and we gave away great prizes. We had like $1,700 worth of prizes and we drew the names, 42 lucky winners. We're right in the process of collecting their email addresses and their mailing addresses and things. So they should be getting those and hopefully they'll take pictures and send them in. I think that'd be kind of cool to share, don't you?

Tiffany: I do.

Diana: Yeah?

Tiffany: Yeah, I do. I think that's very cool. We also want to thank our amazing Thyroid Nation Radio team of advisors, without whom this show would not be possible. They do so many amazing things behind the scenes that most people don't know, so very, very special thank you to Raina Kranz, Laura Scheunemann, Melissa Phipps, Blythe Clifford, Penny Jensen, Sarah Downing and Marissa Ravelo. You can read about all these amazing women and their thyroid survivor stories on the Thyroid Nation Radio website. Very cool, and thank you so much to all you ladies.

Diana: Amen. You really don't realize what goes on behind the scenes and even to put on a show like this, so we're really thankful to have them. Plus, they're there for support. As a thyroid patient, you, me, everybody out there listening, that's what all this is about, and the support they offer. They're so positive.
