Dr. Mary Coan A Gift From God
I was diagnosed with Graves disease over 15 years ago. I was suffering with fatigue, rapid heart rate, severe sweating and more. I could hardly function, go to work and literally did not want to live another day. Every doctor before I found Dr. Coan, told me I had to take radioactive iodine to radiate my thyroid, then go on drugs the rest of my life or even have my thyroid removed! No one discussed healing me and what was causing the problem which I knew by doing my own research was autoimmune and lifestyle related. Coupled with a family history of thyroid problems with my Grandmother and Mother and having a very high paying job that was burning me out something had to change. Dr. Coan worked with me for years, yes years but it was all worth it to eat whole foods, drink pure water, take high quality nutraceutical vitamins and change my lifestyle to heal my thyroid and life. I am happy to say that I have my thyroid, its healthy, I take no drugs of any kind and it is possible to heal your body not just treat the symptoms and have surgery and go on drugs forever. She gave me my life back and taught me a totally different way of treating my body, how to approach western/eastern medicine and that food, natural approaches and mastering our mind are often the tools we need to heal ourselves. The second miracle was addressing my perimenopause. When I hit this chapter of my life my hormones put my physical and mental health into a tailspin. I gained 40 lbs., could not sleep had anxiety, depression and did not recognize the person I had become. I was again at a place I had no quality of life. Dr. Coan worked with me to develop a natural hormone creme through the Womens International Pharmacy in Madison, WI to help me balance my levels and navigate the next 3-5 years with much more ease and balanced health. She also saved me during Covid by protecting my immune system, she is a blessing!
