    Hi, folks!

     

    I'm so glad I found this group!

     

    I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism and my physician is encouraging me to go on a low dose of Synthroid.  I would prefer a more holistic alternative, since I've not taken ANY kind of medication in over 5 years.  I visited a dietician today in hopes that I could make some dietary changes, but unfortunately, she had no recommendation for me.

     

    I'm about 6 weeks away from running my second marathon, and I'm nervous about going on a hormone at this point in my training.  Do any of you have suggestions or ideas or wisdom to share?

     

    Thanks so much!

      Welcome Cherubino - going on the thyroid hormone won't affect your training, except for the better. Don't be nervous.

      Don't make excuses for why you can't get it done. 

      Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.
