She gives personalized help so you can heal from the inside out. Most women with Hashimoto's are told their thyroid labs are fine right up until their hair starts falling out. Alison Marras was one of them. After years of being dismissed by top endocrinologists, Alison finally got her Hashimoto’s, PCOS, IBS, and SIBO diagnoses from a naturopath who ran the labs nobody else bothered to. She shares what she learned while navigating her own autoimmune diagnosis, which now shapes how she helps clients heal their gut, without restrictive elimination diets. We get into the bloodwork you should be asking for, and why your TSH can look good while your thyroid is still struggling. Alison also pushes back on the autoimmune advice flooding social media. Carnivore, low FODMAP, AIP for a year, cutting food groups… She explains why a restrictive diet is a symptom, not a solution, and how to start expanding your diet again in a way your body can actually handle. If your labs keep coming back “normal” but your body is telling you something different, this episode will change how you advocate for yourself. You’ll learn: [00:00] Introduction [01:28] How 10 years on the pill masked Alison's symptoms, and what happened when she came off it [10:19] The thyroid markers doctors never test, and why standard ranges aren't enough [20:58] Why skipping breakfast tanks your hormones, adrenals, thyroid, and weight loss goals [27:47] Animal protein is the non-negotiable foundation of Alison's healing approach [33:56] Alison's root causes, two-year road to remission, and what functional medicine alone can't do [40:33] Grieving a diagnosis, Type A perfectionism, and the inner dialogue that mirrors autoimmune issues [46:…","meta_description":"If you don't know where to start in your autoimmune journey, reach out to Alison .
