I am a freelance writer/editor, blogger, and middle-aged married mom of two teenage boys who embraces her flaws and lives life with moxie. Thirteen years ago, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease (following unrelated heart surgery) and struggled with all the usual side effects, plus menopause before age 40, osteoporosis by 45, and Raynaud's Syndrome by 47. Through a series of lifestyle changes, and the support of a team of professionals that includes an endocrinologist, functional medicine doctor, and therapist, I've been able to shift my mindset and manage my disease with fewer flare-ups. Today, I am living my healthiest life -- and eating ALL my vegetables!
