I joined the Autoimmune Health Reset program to help get Graves’ Disease in control. I tried making dietary changes on my own, but benefited greatly from the AHR plan developed by Dr. Will Cole. The program was a challenge, but doable with the support of the vast educational info on the website, plethora of menus, one-on-one coaching, and ability to ask individualized questions via group calls. Plus, I received immediate feedback in the form of feeling great and becoming asymptomatic!
I am a nurse and was pleased with the science provided to back up the plan. Coaches were knowledgeable, helpful, motivating and provided accurate information.
Although I didn’t utilize the group chats and weekly calls much, the ones I did participate in were very helpful and worthwhile. Additionally, the supplements were a much needed component to restore the microbiome of the gut and reduce inflammation–which I would not have achieved by trying diet alone on my own.
I am happy to say that I am doing quite well after 16 weeks, barely on any methimazole, have no graves’ symptoms and feel more energized to live out each day! I will eventually add back/test more foods to add back in my meal repertoire, but due to the particular autoimmune disorder I am dealing with, quite a few more months are needed to help get this into remission! I will, however, maintain wholesome, real foods and a solid amount of protein, veggies, bone broth and healthy fats for the rest of my life.
In the meantime, I recognize the incredible strides in how I approach health–although I’ve always been active and quite healthy, I have a new appreciation for the gut and how what I put in my body impacts me on the cellular level. Thank you, Dr. Will Cole, for setting me on this journey!
