"Good food is expensive" Thank you Gina!! A lot of celebrities encourage better diets, whole foods, vegan life styles but do not realize how expensive organic food is.

@@rclark8999 I have hashimotos and had JUST finished uni when it flared up for me (luckily exams out the way!). It was overactive and I was super anxious and was dizzy and fainting and couldn't go out until my levels dropped and the docs realised it was hashi. Then it took ages for the medication to get to a decent level, which it is now (10 months later) but I have other problems like IBS which has recently been diagnosed. Just about ready to go back to work now, but it is daunting trying to decide whether to go for a grad role or try and take it slow. Other people I've known with it all react differently and both still stayed in uni/work, guess there are a lot of factors it depends on. If I had a job which I was on sick leave from, I probably would have had at least 3 months off in hindsight from what happened. I was working part time whilst at uni and had to leave that early too when my symptoms got really bad, one day my boss was holding me up so I didn't collapse, was a quick realisation that I was unable to work after that.

Good luck finishing your thesis and stay healthy, wishing you the best!

I was diagnosed with hashimotos at 9 years old. I never heard anyone talk about it. It’s so nice to watch this and resonate with everything their saying. Thank you 💕

this video is so amazing. i was diagnosed with hashimoto’s literally this week and since then i’ve been spiraling because of all of the things that can happen. this really helped me realize that i can take control of it instead of letting it overthrow my body.

Got diagnosed with Hashimotos a few months back and everything she said was so relatable. Really cool to see someone in her position speak about this and the struggles that come with it.

"When I got Hashimoto's, I felt like it has a name. It has a name, it has a name and it's gonna be my superpower." This was so powerful. I don't have this particular illness, but it resonates through all of them.

This made my day. It’s so difficult going through life with symptoms that people find to be “lacking”. But she’s right once and if you can gain control, it’s you deciding how it will make you feel. A superpower not a hindrance.

As latina teen ...thank you Gina youre such an inspiration and a role model not because you're "perfect" but because you use your flaws to empower you. I love you so much!

I was very recently diagnosed with Hasimotos and this interview came to mind a couple of days ago. So happy to find it again. "We are a lot stronger than we know." Dear jeez, I needed that. Thank you Gina, and this other girl, for sharing your stories! Much appreciated ladies! 👍👏👏

Gina is my idol man 😭 she shows her regular person side no matter what! She is such an influence to girls and me who just started their journeys

This is fantastic because I have hashimotos and I find my body changing especially my stomach that. But knowing my decisions can change that and I’m not defined by it is amazing. Gina is so inspirational ❤️

I don't have Hashimoto's, but this has inspired me and I needed to hear a lot of that. Gina, you are the best

her passion for her passion Is inspirational

Thank you so much for this, don't know why I'm tearing up. I haven't been diagnosed with Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism, but I pretty much have all the symptoms - including heavy fatigue. My gp won't take my health concerns seriously and thinks it's "just" depression - and put me on medication. It's good to be reminded that nutrition and exercise is vital, but it's also a struggle every day energy-wise. Gonna try to make it my superpower.

I so needed this today. I don’t have this but I do have issues and fighting through it is so tiring. Thank you for talking about it.

I was “officially” diagnosed a year and a half ago. As soon as I heard the list of symptoms for this disease, I knew I had been suffering from this for much longer. I had been suffering with these symptoms for over 13 years, and I struggled with my doctor because she called me a hypochondriac every time I came in with a “problem” / symptom. She would say I was over weight, or I was depressed.. She even said that I have no reason to have the symptoms that I have. No reason... to have symptoms? Let that sink in.. I had no reason for my hair to fall out, or for me to lose 40lbs because the thought of food made me so nauseous I would puke even after drinking water.. No reason to have chronic migraines, or chronic urticaria, or joint pain and swelling, mood swings, or panic disorder.. No reason for my right eye to be swollen (later diagnosed as Graves’ disease, which could have permanently damaged my eyesight), no reason to have a heavy period for 10 days straight, every two weeks.. No reason to have high blood pressure/ skipping heart beats, tremors or anything else I went in for? No. Apparently it was all in my head because I was “Too young to have any real problems”. She said this to me. Multiple times. I let her convince me that I was crazy for YEARS. Let me tell you something, illness does NOT have an age restriction! This started when I was in middle school, and I am STILL dealing with it now at 28. I’m so angry I stayed with her for as long as I did- because a little over a year ago now, I had to have my thyroid removed to save my life. That doctor could have killed me, because she refused to diagnose my hashimotos and Graves’ disease despite my family history. My thyroid was so mangled and over-grown, the surgeon was shocked when he saw it. I’ve been feeling much better without my thyroid, but I could have felt better over a decade ago, and the thought makes me furious.. because despite the fact that I feel better, there’s a possibility that my thyroid could be growing back. Yep. Your thyroid can regenerate. It’s not common- BUT is more common in people with, you guessed it, GRAVES DISEASE. I might be starting at square one only a year after surgery... But at least I have an Endo who cares and is taking every step to ensure my comfort and safety. If you’re going through this, just know you are not alone, and you should NOT let your doctor make you feel wrong about how you feel. It’s not in your head.. Hashimotos, Hypo, hyper... Graves- they’re all terrible diseases that wreak havoc on our bodies. We know our bodies better than anyone.. don’t let ANYONE try to convince you otherwise.

I’m a professional patient but also an advocate and I’ve witnessed so many different stories. Having Lyme, I hear so many stories of failure... but recently hearing so much about diet and positive effects it’s had over anything else. So yes, I will do my picc line 9 months antibiotics, but I’m also plant based in how I’m eating. Exercising is difficult right now as I just had an unfortunately failed brain surgery and also have POTS, but I’ll get there. The heavy depression has been holding me back. I just need find some real structure. And do it.

I found out about my Hashimoto 1,5 year ago, hormones are tricky in my case. But this sickness helped me a lot when a month ago my doctor said that I have SM too. Immunological diseases are hard to figure out, but the most important is your mind health, next - quality of the food and amount of salt and sugar into it. Gina - love you more and more, such a positive vibes around you!

I love Jane the Virgin and of course Gina! But idk how I never knew she had Hashimoto’s, as I have Hashimoto’s too!! Just made me love her even more 💕💕
