Our lymphatic system plays a critical role in immune health, is a major factor in our ability to detoxify, and helps to keep us in an anti-inflammatory state. If this weren’t enough, I’ve also realized that it impacts the health of our hair follicles and can be one of the factors in reversing alopecia.
I’ve traveled this complicated path of undiagnosed autoimmune hypothyroidism and depression that was, perhaps, misdiagnosed.

I’m so excited to join Jill in this critical work, at this pivotal time in history.

Has your dermatologist, endocrinologist, or primary care physician (or chiropractor or energy worker or massage therapist) told you, “You’re just stressed?” Well, I have a few things to say about that.
While optimizing thyroid hormones is a worthy effort, one missing piece of the conversation is often thyroid hormone conversion.
I’ve been listening hard about COVID-19 in America. But what I am coming to realize is controversial and contradictory. It’s becoming increasingly clear that, however well intentioned, our public health authorities—both on the federal and the state level—are failing us.
