After stopping birth control in 2021, the speaker's thyroid crashed and medications didn't help. They tried everything: gut protocols, NAD, peptides, coffee enemas, heavy-metal detoxing, fasting. In April 2022, something finally worked.
I better go to the doctor and like, just do some lab work and see what's going on. And the first thing that came back was like, oh, your thyroid's low. And I thought, oh man, that's it. Like how long in that three year window or what triggered you to become problem aware? It was the beginning of 2021. I. I had lost my cycle basically. I mean, I was on birth control forever while I raced for safety, obvious reasons. And then I got off and everything seemed regular for about six months. And then it just sort of kind of getting kept and later and then it just like was gone. And anyway, that was like February of 2021. So I thought, well, that's not right and that's not good. I better go to the doctor and like, just do some lab work and see what's going on. And the first thing that came back was like, oh, your thyroid's low. And I thought, oh man, that's it. That explains it. That's why I can't lose weight, that's why my hair is not as healthy, that's why my energy is a little lower. This will be like literally a magic pill. And it was totally not. I mean, it was like it didn't matter what dosage, didn't matter what kind, didn't matter if it was synthetic or if it was desiccated. It was not working. And. And it was really just the tip of the iceberg. And so I went through and did so many different things after that. I mean, first it started with that, then it was like gut protocols, and then it was NAD treatments, peptides, coffee enemas, heavy metal, detoxing, fasting. So this kind of went from then 2021, 20 all through 2021 and into 2022. And then I finally got them out, April of 2022. So just after my 40th birthday, that's how I remember when it was.
