When your body hurts and no one believes you, where do you go for answers?


Most women with autoimmune disorders, especially Hashimoto’s, don’t even realize what’s really happening to them. They’re dismissed, misdiagnosed, and put on pills that never solve the root issue.


In this episode, natural medicine expert and functional practitioner Gwen Foster breaks down everything mainstream medicine gets wrong about Hashimoto’s, hormone imbalance, and autoimmune dysfunction. 


What started as a dream vacation to Africa turned into a medical mystery as Gwen faced a firestorm of pain, inflammation, and pharmaceutical side effects. 


After her own life was derailed by lupus, fibromyalgia, asthma, and Hashimoto’s, she learned firsthand how broken the system is. That’s when she stopped outsourcing her health and started looking for real solutions.


Today, Gwen is helping thousands of others avoid the painful, expensive path she took—by finally getting the right labs, removing the triggers, and learning how to heal the whole system.



"Hashimoto's is not a thyroid disorder. Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disorder that also affects the thyroid. That's where people get messed up." ~ Gwen Foster
