We recorded this in January and the audio is a little choppy on her end in some places but it is a great conversation with some great info about how she dealt with her thyroid cancer diagnosis. Here is a little bit about her book: 

If Your Thyroid Numbers Are Normal But You Feel Terrible, Read This Book

Tiffany Flaten knows what it’s like to feel sick. For ten years, she felt depressed, irritable, and hopeless. And tired. Crazy tired. Like pregnancy fatigue every day. By her first baby, Tiffany was overweight and had high cholesterol. So why did her thyroid test always come back normal?

In 2007, Tiffany was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, the “best” cancer to have. Doctors advised “easy” treatments like thyroidectomy, radioiodine, and prescriptions for the rest of her life. Then the cancer came back, and Tiffany hit rock bottom. Would she ever feel normal again?

Yes! All thanks to proper nutrition. When Tiffany learned how nutrient deficiencies contributed to both her thyroid health symptoms and causes, she cured her depression, lost weight, got her energy back, and finally felt like herself again. She went back to school to earn her Master’s of Science in Human Nutrition and Performance and become a board certified nutritionist (CNS).

Today Tiffany teaches proper nutrition to alleviate thyroid symptoms. Her secret to helping thyroid patients turn their health around is an eight-week thyroid reset diet, a personalized thyroid eating plan and thyroid cookbook with thyroid friendly recipes for people who’ve hit rock bottom. Tiffany’s first book, Rock Bottom Thyroid Treatment: The 8-Week Thyroid Diet for People with “Normal” Thyroid Test Results to Thrive, Not Just Survive, helps people with thyroid disorders:

• Translate medical mumbo-jumbo into thyroid essentials

• Advocate for your own thyroid healing

• Feel better with nutrition, the natural thyroid cure

Rock Bottom Thyroid Treatment is the last hope for thyroid disease patients and the first step towards better thyroid health. Whether you’re going through cancer treatment or are simply concerned about “normal” thyroid numbers when everything feels off, Rock Bottom Thyroid Treatment gives you the answers that neither your doctor or Google will.
