Healing your thyroid with practical lifestyle changes with Annabel
Annabel Bateman is a Hashimoto’s patient, author, advocate & coach. She has learnt in 25+ years of living with Hashimoto's that the key is developing a lifestyle that supports (and doesn't stress) her thyroid health. Drawing on skills learned in previous careers as a lawyer, life coach, family law mediator and author, Annabel seeks to empower, educate and encourage women with thyroid conditions to develop their own thyroid-friendly lifestyle approach to their health so they can thrive and not just survive. She hosts a successful podcast, Let’s Talk Thyroid which seeks to spread thyroid awareness and information and is active on social media to spread positive & practical thyroid related information. Annabel's latest book, Let’s Talk Thyroid: Positive & Practical Thyroid Help, is all about how to live a thyroid-friendly lifestyle. Whilst there is no magic “happy thyroid” formula or protocol, you’ve got to start somewhere. This book is that somewhere. Annabel lives in Brisbane, Australia with her husband and 3 teenage sons.

For the rest of 2023, I am going to take 1 week out of the month to dive into each of the 7 chakras. How they work, how imbalances show up, how they apply to our physical body, how to eat to nurture them, what minerals can help nurture them and how we can work to nurture them and keep them balanced.
This first part we are diving into the root chakra! Take notes and start working on creating a more balanced root chakra❤️ -
