Patient Story – How she reduced her thyroxine prescription

I wanted to share a story with you today from one of my patients.

She is in her 60s now and presented with symptoms that I find many women her age do, so I thought you may get some value from hearing her story and how long it took for her to restore her vitality.

From Mary, 63

“I found myself breathless just walking up the steps to do my gardening.”

It was like I had just gone flat, and every year, I seemed to be slowly losing my enthusiasm for doing things that I loved like walking, gardening, and spending time with friends.

I went back to the doctor, and my thyroid was getting worse. He wanted to increase my thyroxine prescription by another 50mcg.

I felt like my body just wasn’t working properly and I wanted things to change.

And I felt like the thyroxine wasn’t doing a good job for me. I was still tired and gaining weight.

I started researching how I could get my health back on track and I stumbled upon Tiaan’s clinic and decided to give it a try.

We started looking at my blood tests and we did further testing. The shock was that I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, but my antibodies were within normal range.

The biggest discovery uncovered for me was:

1 – I had really high Visceral Fat.

This was causing the breathlessness, the weight around the middle, and the constant weight gain.

2 – My body aches, fatigue, high cholesterol and thyroid were all connected.

They put me on 1 supplement that she created just for me that helped my body get the nutrients that it needed.

Within 4 weeks, I lost 5 kilos. I was in shock because for the last 10 years, I’d been gaining a kilo every month eating like a bird. Not to mention we didn’t even talk about changing my diet!

I went back to the doctor about 2 months later, and we re-ran my thyroid blood work again, and this time, he lowered my dosage.

I felt like I had finally reached a turning point.

I only had to go a few more times over six months, and I’m just so happy with the results.

My husband asked me where I get all this energy from! I didn’t think it’d be possible to feel as good as I did before I had kids. And I do now.

Now, 8 months later, my thyroid levels are in healthy range, I take way less thyroid medication, and, I’ve been able to completely come off the cholesterol medication as my levels went from 7 to 4.

I’ve gone from 113kilos to 88 kilos.

I highly recommend Tiaan’s clinic!”
