![]() Out of desperation, I even went on Cytomel (synthetic T3) for three months. Yup, did them all and still had no results. ![]() The easiest thing to look at first were vitamin and mineral deficiencies so I went down that path – zinc, calcium, more meat proteins, biotin, iron and silica. Hair loss is a sign that there is some imbalance going on in the body. I then moved to NYC and one of the first things I tasked myself with was to find a good physician who was willing to run the tests I request and who understood the peripheral body systems that can impact the thyroid and my hair loss. An integrated doctor in Seattle (where I lived in 2010) told me that I was the “healthiest person he had seen in a long time”. So it felt like managing my thyroid was a moving goal and a rather mysterious one as all lab work proved to be OK. I say “again”, as this was not the case when I lived in Shanghai, China when my health was at its worse.īut, now my hair started falling out – a symptom I did not experience earlier. My mood improved, I felt like being social and kind to people again. ![]() By “better” I mean: my TPO antibodies dropped, I was no longer fatigued, had no more heart palpitation and these terrifying anxiety attacks.

Because the reality is: we lose ourselves in the pursuits of a goal, never live in the present, never appreciate what we have and once we reach the destination/goal, we are still not happy and we want more. And, if you not – in short, it just means embracing life as it unfolds, treating it with appreciation, kindness and forgiveness rather than be solely focused on a specific goal. If you are familiar with the Buddhist way of life, you are probably smiling. I’ve come to accept the fact that the management of my health will always be a journey and not a destination.
