I’ve been dealing with  traumatic hair loss  for nearly 15 years, the kind that comes from the slow sabotage of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. I wasn’t diagnosed properly until 20 years  after  I was told I had hypothyroidism. By then, I was nearly bald on the top of my head, had gained over 100 pounds, lost multiple pregnancies, and was left wearing wigs and hats to feel okay in public.  So when I try a new product, I’m not looking for beauty.

 This morning felt like a total rebound. But by tonight? Burnout city. It was a day that started with metrics screaming “resilience” and ended with a body quietly asking for mercy. Still, I’m calling it a net win: glucose stayed stable, I hit my full supplement stack, and I added something new for my hair loss from Hashimoto’s that I’m hopeful about. ๐Ÿ’Š Meds & Supplement Stack Taken throughout the day: NP Thyroid Lopressor Cata-Kor NAD+ Triquetra L-Methylfolate (7.5mg) Happy Saffron Plus Alpha Brain CoQ10 + D3/K2 Physician’s Choice Digestive Enzymes Wholier Peppermint Stomach Soothers  (taken mid-morning for intense sulfur burps—worked within 25 minutes) Hair Growth Accelerator Chews  (Force Factor, 2 chews—contains Lustriva, added today for Hashimoto’s-related hair loss) ❌  No Neuro Gum today. ๐Ÿฝ️ Nutrition Summary Calories:  ~1,420 kcal Protein:  90g / 140g Carbs:  196g / 120g (⚠️ over by 76g) Sugar:  127g / 48g (⚠️ over by 79g) Fat:  ...
