Summary

Episode 39 with Danielle Meitiv.

"I have all these great ideas. I can see the end point so clearly, but the path to get there is a dark forest and I have no idea what steps to take."

Danielle Meitiv is a scientist, health coach, and a mom with Hashimoto’s and ADHD. After 20 years working on climate science and policy and nearly 30 years with Hashimoto’s, she decided to change careers. Now she uses her science training to help other women with thyroid problems boost their energy and metabolism to get their lives back.

She’s also one of the rare group of ADHD women who was diagnosed with hyperactive type, so we talk about that and growing up as an undiagnosed hyperactive child. 

We also talk about what it was like to work in the science field and academia with undiagnosed ADHD. And, of course, Danielle talks about thyroid health and the work she does with her clients.

If you have Hashimoto’s or any thyroid issues, you won’t want to miss this episode. Enjoy!
