Please support Mellissas journey with Hashimotos
My name is Mellissa Barnwell
I love spending time outdoors, trying to come up with new ideas to make healthy meals, enjoy my time with my little boy & doing my best to practice self care.
8 years back I had been diagnosed with colitis, inflammation of the colon, that was treated that seemed to be controlled over time but through my
years I’ve always struggled with a sluggish gut/ leaky gut /gut issues.
Fast forward mid year 2020 I knew something was not right with my body,
I had strange symptoms, extreme exhaustion, my hair fell out excessively,
I felt frustrated and the worst was the brain fog, I just felt so awful,...after going to a few doctors, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's.
Hashimoto’s has robbed me of quality of life and I would desperately like to claim my life back, so that I can be ‘whole’ again and be the mom that I was before I got sick.
After I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's I’ve walked with Candice applied her advice and also tried different ways to control the inflammation in my body which are side effects of Hashimoto's, I have been on supplements amongst other things for the last 2 years but now been advised I need to take a step to get to the root cause and dig deeper to help heal my body.
DNA and functional health testing would mean I could finally find out specifically what I need to do.
