When my daughter started losing her hair a few years ago...
Desperate and sobbing, she said to me: “Mom, the Universe is taking all my power, my strength and my beauty, everything I loved about myself!”
She was just 19 at the time, and of course some time later we realized that her body was not well.
She had a major physical and psychological imbalance causing hormonal upheaval, which was very difficult to treat with conventional medicine...
It often occurred to me that by monitoring my teenager a little more closely, her lifestyle, her stress, her diet, I could have prevented the problem from developing. In particular, I had taken a dim view of her taking oral contraceptives recommended by her doctor during her final year of high school.
The first symptoms
It all started with weight gain, pimples on his face, and lack of sleep, which made us stop taking the pill instantly, but the damage was done.
During her first year of college when her hair slowly started falling out, and she was becoming more and more tired, depressed, and stressed about her exams!
After doing all the possible tests, we contacted endocrinologists who confirmed our doubts, diagnosing her with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism.
We were well aware of the conventional treatment for this disease, but my daughter and I did not want it.
I started thinking, putting the information together like a puzzle:
Increased antithyroid antibodies, lack of vitamin D, increased cortisol levels, constipation, bloating, irritability, lack of sleep, water retention... yum!
We started changing her diet, but not being sure what she could eat, I removed meat and fats. She ate fruits and vegetables, lots of raw vegetables, juices, goat cheese, fish, but her weight did not decrease despite intensive daily sports training of 2 hours!
Then one day, while massaging her hair, I realized that her scalp was inflamed, I had a flash, and said to her: "I think your hair wants to tell us that there is something your body cannot tolerate, a toxin, or several factors that act like toxins, lack of enzymes etc..."
The first results
Two days later we sent a blood sample to a reputable laboratory to request a food intolerance test for 300 ingredients, additives, preservatives including Candida albicans.
We waited impatiently, and the results confirmed our doubts. I knew as a therapist that inflammation, especially intestinal, could cause a chain of dysfunctions of all kinds, including hormonal ones.
Having started the diet based on eliminating ingredients to which she was intolerant (dairy products, eggs, nuts, gluten, soy), surprise: 10 kilos lost in 2 months!
She was less tired, her good mood and strength were slowly returning.
We changed his toothpaste (fluoride-free to reduce inflammation), shower gel, shampoo (free from harsh chemicals), we introduced the use of essential oils in scalp massage, avoidance of alcohol, sugar, gluten, industrial products, and consumption only from organic farming.
Thanks to my menus and recipes, she learned to cook for her new life and continues to see the results today!
And above all, good news, and not the least, she was able to do without the “famous Levothyrox”!
