Once again, you’ve somehow reached into my head and put into words everything I’m going through right now! I’ve also been feeling off and haven’t gotten satisfactory answers from my primary care doctor so I’m seeing a naturopathic doctor on Thursday. I also have a habit of living in the extremes and I’ve been trying to follow restrictive diets to eat “clean”, but also getting extremely grumpy about cutting all the joy of food out of my life. Damn, being a gold star lover is hard!
It’s so hard! I’m sorry you’re feeling something similar. I’ve worked with a naturopath and have had a wonderful experience every time I see her. I hope you do, too, and that you get the answers you deserve ❤️
I just took a Substack break from my notes app where I was reviewing my detailed symptoms for a specialist appointment I have waited six months to get into that finally happens tomorrow. My list makes me feel neurotic and I have huge doctor anxiety, but I also am very in tune with my body and know how to advocate for myself! Eldest daughter, gold star lover, former med mal paralegal in the house.
Chris and I are the founding members of the Hot Tea Committee (avoiding alcohol, sweets and gluten most of the time). My ego can run the show when I get like this and it’s never been sustainable for me long term. It was sure good to try on flattering grey last weekend and raise a glass with the Roberts🩷
Oh Carly! I feel you on this so much. My husband has Graves Disease , had thyroid cancer, went through radiation and it was so ROUGH. We were young and he followed the “plan” from his doctor blindly, but it wasnt until we chose to dive deeper, hired a specialist, changed all the things, and came out of the woods over 8 years ago and he is maintaining nicely. I wish you allllll the best and bug hugs!
Thank you, Chelsea!! I am so glad he is doing well. And I’m glad you had the presence of mind to dive deep at that age! It’s wild how much we have to advocate and learn to get the care we all need.

I loved it, too! Good luck with your appointment tomorrow - I hope it goes well. And YES - so fun to be in the grey on Saturday.
