Welcome back to another episode. I'm glad that we get to hang out today. It is May 5th. We got five more days until I am officially 40 years old. I'm leaving Switzerland tomorrow and meeting my sister in Italy for 10 days. This is our first time overseas traveling together and I know we're about to have a blast.

I have done so much hiking and gondola exploring and shopping and eating.

I can't wait to just hang out with my sister and eat pizza.

Normally, in the past, I've done an episode on what I hope to achieve this year.

I know that over the last couple of weeks

I've started thinking about goals and thoughts and really what do I want to achieve in my 40th year.

And sometimes I'll post them on the podcast or way, way, way, way back. I used to write blog posts

every year on birthday goals. If you haven't done a

birthday goal session, it's really, really sweet because it anchors your year. So well, I highly

recommend it. But today, we're not talking about birthdays or turning 40. We're talking about

the thyroid. Now, this is an episode throwback with L. Russ.

And if you're not familiar with her, she's one of the leading voices in thyroid health.

She's the author of the paleo thyroid solution.

And she spent years helping people understand what's actually going on with their body and not just responding to problems.

So if you want to learn about what's

actually happening in your thyroid and you want to connect the dots, I highly recommend

continue listening and then go check out her website, L-R-R-R-S dot com, that's E-L-L-E-R-U-S-S-com,

she's got a ton of resources on there.

And so the real reason I wanted to bring back this episode is because thyroid issues are one of the most overlooked reasons why women feel stuck.

And oftentimes, like, I've definitely noticed a trend over the last 10 years.

10 years ago, women weren't getting diagnosed with thyroid issues.

And so a lot of us just didn't know that it was happening or how to support it.
