Quick thyroid gifts for the sufferer in your life.

It is the holiday season. A time for reflection. A time to remember the loved ones in your life. Seeing all the family christmas photo cards and how everyone has grown and changed is a highlight in our house. The laughter and hope that fills the air, always makes me smile. Since family and good (thyroid) health are the most important things in my life, I wanted to share my favorite thyroid -friendly holiday gifts with you.

These are gifts I would LOVE to have myself. They are selected for health and wellness benefits. Because I suffer with thyroid issues, Hashimoto’s, adrenal fatigue and hormone imbalances, I’m trying to take the best care of myself as possible. I am also NOT extreme in the way I do things and live my life, so I can only do so much. I cannot change every little thing that is harmful to my endocrine system. I can’t get rid of all the environmental toxins, cure my leaky gut or balance my hormones in the wink of an eye. Nor do I want to live like a crazy person, eliminating everything in sight that has a toxic load on my body.

I want to be about to LIVE. This world is amazing even if we have muddled it up with chemicals, pesticides, GMO’s and fake ingredients, it is still a wonderful, magical place to live. I will do everything in my power to balance my life and introduce new products and ways of being, so I can to enjoy my thyroid life.

Shhhh……I am giving some of these as gifts to others. (Wouldn’t it be great if I woke up on Christmas morning and received a few of them myself?!)  🙂

About the Author

Danna Bowman is the founder of Thyroid Nation. She developed Hashimoto’s after years of unknowinly suffering with hypothyroidism, hormonal imbalances and adrenal fatigue. Hypothyroidism runs in her family but it was never discussed, unfortunately. Her husband, 2 kids and her, picked up and moved, sight unseen, from Texas to Costa Rica in 2008. She was accurately diagnosed, however, they only offer Levothyroxine or Thyroidectomy as a solution for the disease. After a year of suffering, she turned to the internet. She found a doctor in Arizona that would consult with her and send Natural Dessicated Thyroid to her. After learning and realizing the misinformation and lack of information in Costa Rica and worldwide, she founded the website to help educate others. In 2015, she launched Thyroid Nation RADIO, a weekly thyroid and health, LIVE radio show with her co-host,Tiffany Mladinich.
