Even a good protocol can stall progress if key pieces are missing.
In this Health Audit session, I speak with Jordan, who was recently diagnosed with Graves’ disease. She opens up about managing symptoms like heart palpitations, bloating, and fatigue while following the AIP diet and taking calming herbs, iodine, and other targeted supplements. We explore why her progress has felt inconsistent, how post-viral recovery might be playing a role, and why “normal” labs don’t always tell the whole story about what's happening in your body.
If you’re navigating Graves’ and wondering why your protocol isn’t delivering the clear results you’re hoping for, this episode will help you see the bigger picture. Tune in to discover what might be missing from your approach!
