journey
How it has gone, in order
An honest timeline, including the parts that did not work.
- the move
A new country, and a body learning to keep up
Everything changed at once. I put the tiredness down to adjustment and kept pushing.
- the slide
Symptoms that finally asked to be heard
Fatigue that sleep did not fix, thinning hair, mood swings, breakouts, and a gut that turned on me.
- the name
Hashimoto's, and a fuller picture
Bloodwork named the thyroid piece. Treatment with my doctor was the beginning, not the whole answer.
- the reading
I started reading everything
Modern handbooks first, then classical Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, herbalism, and yogic texts.
- the practice
Building a rhythm that fit me
Warm food, earlier nights, morning light, breath, and a slower relationship with my days.
- now
Steady, whole, and home
Better labs, steadier energy, calmer skin — still learning and adjusting.
