Visit https://notesfromyouracupuncturist.substack.comWhen Marc Ryan decided to specialize in working with people with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, little did he know that within just a few months, he himself would be diagnosed with it.Mark Ryan is a Licensed Acupuncturist, Cornell University graduate and two-time Hay House author specializing in the treatment of Hashimoto's. Through his research, including conversations with over 3000 people with Hashimoto's, Mark has studied the wide-reaching impact of thyroid hormones on the body, and discovered the keys to keeping Hashimoto’s and other autoimmune disorders in remission. And as he says, this is personal - he was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s soon after deciding to specialize in it.Marc has developed a truly holistic approach to maintaining thyroid health, incorporating the Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine, based on his unique perspective as an acupuncture with over 20 years of clinical experience. Through his books, website, and individual and group programs, Marc helped thousands of people with thyroid and autoimmune conditions reclaim their health.In this podcast episode, we discuss:* The effects of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis on the body and how it is typically diagnosed* The genetic and environmental components of Hashimoto's and why it is often underdiagnosed* The traditional Chinese medicine perspective on Hashimoto's, which connects the disease to the body's five elements and endocrine system.* How to maintain gut health, and why it’s so important* Practical advice for anyone wanting to manage or prevent Hashimoto’s and other autoimmune conditions.I learned so much from this conversation with Marc, and I hope you do too!Love and gratitude,Your AcupuncturistLearn more from Marc or work with him (including scheduling a free 30-minute strategy session):Web: https://hashimotoshealing.comFacebook: www.facebook/hashimotoshealingInstagram: @hashimotoshealerBuy Marc’s books:How to Heal Hashimoto’sThe Hashimoto’s Healing DietHuge thanks to Marc Ryan for the great conversation, and to AudioCoffee for the music in this episode.And endless love and gratitude to my paid subscribers for contributing to the sustainability of my work!Stay in touch!Web: https://notesfromyouracupuncturist.substack.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/notesfromyouracuFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/notesfromyouracuLoved this episode?
