What We Discuss In This Episode:
Risa shares how she reversed Hashimoto’s Disease, and details her struggle with Hashimoto’s infertility until discovering genetic mutations and gut issues were perpetuating it. She reversed it by addressing each root cause through diet and lifestyle changes over 10 years..
Risa discusses the right diet type or eating lifestyle for someone with thyroid disease, plus the most common symptoms of hypothyroidism.
Risa introduces functional nutrition, which takes a holistic approach to testing thyroid function beyond just TSH. She looks at 9 markers and stool/blood tests to uncover root causes like gut health and inflammation.
Common symptoms of hypothyroidism are explained; like hair loss, weight gain and fatigue. Doctors often miss underlying causes by only testing TSH, whereas functional medicine tests the full thyroid panel.
Gluten sensitivity is often a result of leaky gut caused by a depleted diet and toxins. Gluten pokes holes leading to food sensitivities via molecular mimicry with other foods like corn and eggs. Healing the gut is key.
Risa’s detox program focuses on whole foods, collagen protein, and removing triggers like sugar and gluten to cleanse the liver and reduce inflammation. Participants feel renewed and often lose 4-7 pounds without calorie counting.
Risa answers questions on remotely working with clients, testing for celiac and cross-reactivities, and accommodating vegetarian/vegan diets on her detox programs. She emphasized individualized plans.

- Reversing Hashimoto’s through functional medicine
