24. Treating Graves’ Disease, with Dominique Toney – Jackie Shea
Graves’ Disease
The autoimmune version of hyperthyroidism, Graves’ disease affects mostly women and many people go misdiagnosed. For Dominique, a stressful event in her junior year of college marked the beginning of Graves’ symptoms—she was plagued by heat intolerance, weight loss, insomnia, tremors, and anxiety. Because Graves’ is often genetic and Dominique’s mother also suffered from the disease, it was fairly easy to get a diagnosis. But that was just the beginning of the journey. In this episode we discuss how Dominque has managed the highs and the lows of Graves’ disease for the last decade, and how she manages a big, full life with self-care!

Weekly Challenge:MAKE ENOUGH FOOD TO HAVE LEFTOVERS
This seems simple enough, I know, but it is a game changer! I absolutely love this weekly challenge. Each week, I try to make a healthy soup or stew and have enough for multiple meals OR put some in the freezer. This way, I always have a healthy meal available when I don’t have time to cook. Once you try this, you will use this self-care tactic again and again. It can truly save the day! Dominique suggests you research a delicious recipe (with foods that make you feel good), then do your shopping, then cook your meal and freeze a serving! I do this in mason jars with plastic lids.
