Ep. 115: Dogma in Chronic Illness & Becoming Your Own Advocate with Rachel Hill Chronically Healing Podcast

Today’s podcast is with a repeat guest, Rachel Hill! Rachel is a hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s advocate who shares her journey via her blog, Instagram and her books. We had Rachel on again because she’s such an amazing person to follow in the chronic illness space, especially those of us with Hashimoto’s (which Jessie, Christina AND Rachel all have.)
We can’t wait for you to hear from Rachel Hill!
In today’s episode we chat about:
Dogma in chronic illness and specifically, Hashimotos
How to be your best advocate and listening to our body’s whispers (before it starts to scream)
How to care for ourselves as an HSP with thyroid issues
Bloodwork isn’t the only thing we have to pay attention to with Hashimoto’s
Movement and food - why “calories in, calories out” isn’t successful for those with thyroid issues and not all movement is created equal
