Prior to working with Path Wellbeing, this client suffered from hypothyroidism, obesity, a past eating disorder, anxiety and depression, allergies, digestive disturbances and an irregular elimination pattern.
The client had a busy work life, lots of family responsibilities and little room for self care. Their food choices were based on what was easiest – they didn’t have time to cook or prepare meals.
After doing a full intake and assessment and understanding their unique needs, one of our practitioners offered this client nutrition, lifestyle and herbal remedies designed for their specific constitution to help support their imbalances.
Their specific nutrition plan had three goals: balance weight, support the thyroid, and protect the subtle body. In many cases of obesity and anxiety, a diet that is too restrictive (just focused on weight-loss) can exacerbate a person’s mental and emotional health, which becomes counterproductive to the goal of weight-loss. And, there are many foods that would often be used in weight-loss programs that can depress thyroid function.
Restrictive diets can also lower “ojas”, or the strength, vitality and immunity of the body. And, “low ojas” is almost always present in cases of hypothyroidism because of a depleted thyroid gland and hormone production. Had we only focused on weight-loss, we could have made all of their symptoms worse.
Because this client struggled with food preparation, we had to find solutions that were simple and easy. After a couple of months, we also implemented a deep tissue detox to root out toxins and re-establish their metabolic baseline.
In the subtle body, we worked with the client on breath practices and meditations that would fit into their busy schedule. This was the hardest part for the client to implement and required a process of learning to honor self-care and wellbeing as a priority.
We also recommended a customized herbal digestive formula, nervous system formula and a formula to support the thyroid.
In the first few days after starting treatment, their digestive and elimination issues disappeared – this remained true even as their new nutritional habits were still coming together. Their weight started to come down once we completed the deep tissue detox cleanse, fully implemented their nutrition program and they learned eating habits that supported their constitutional needs. Importantly, they never felt depleted or hungry.
After a couple of months, with lots of personalized coaching, they started to attune to their subtle body needs and learned to prioritize self care without taking too much time away from their work or family responsibilities. Furthermore, food preparation no longer felt like a chore because it was so simplified.
Importantly, their past eating disorder never resurfaced and they felt their anxiety and depression begin to settle.
The client spent 6 months on the herbs to support their thyroid before being tested. We saw a positive increase in their T3/T4 hormone levels but, what mattered more to us and to the client, was how they were feeling. The client reported less fatigue, decreased allergies, greater focus, and felt their metabolism was more efficient.
