400;\">I have been a Registered Dietitian for 8 years with training originally as a Clinical Dietitian, working in the hospital setting. After several years of working in inpatient settings, I moved to an outpatient position at a Wellness Center as the staff Dietitian.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0It was with this job that I began to learn more about using Functional Medicine (addressing the root cause) to help manage and reverse chronic health conditions.\u00a0 During this time, I also became certified as an Integrative and Functional Practitioner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since 2019 I have had my own fully virtual private practice serving individuals with thyroid conditions, specifically hypothyroid related conditions (Hashimoto&#8217;s, post thyroidectomy, subclinical, etc.)<\/span><\/p><p><b>What inspired you to focus on helping people with thyroid conditions?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2017,\u00a0 I was diagnosed with both Hashimoto&#8217;s and hypothyroidism. Due to my desire to help myself function and feel my best, I researched and studied to learn more about changes I could make with my nutrition and lifestyle to support healing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I became certified in Functional and Integrative medicine and learned about how to discover and treat the root cause of illnesses. It was also during this time, as a thyroid patient myself, that I discovered the large gap in care for individuals suffering with hypothyroidism.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I learned that the main form of treatment was only medication and routine labs; no support for diet, lifestyle changes, supplements, exercise, etc. People had questions (myself included) and wanted better support and I wanted to do what I could to better serve this community.<\/span><\/p><p><b>How would you describe your treatment methods?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My approach is using natural means to support the body as a whole. Nutrition being the primary form but also educating people on how to make beneficial lifestyle changes to resolve symptoms and improve quality of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behavioral changes and mindset are also important to managing chronic diseases like hypothyroidism and Hashimoto&#8217;s, so this is something I also assist my clients with implementing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>What is something you hope to achieve in 2022?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2022, I would love to expand my practice and support more Thyroid Warriors.\u00a0 I have hopes to expand my team and grow my impact for thyroid patients worldwide.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I enjoy providing free, educational information on my social media platforms as well as building online communities and have a goal to continue growing in these areas as well.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d54be3c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d54be3c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;059e101&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_tablet&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_mobile&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:50,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_type&quot;:&quot;scroll&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_fx_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_z_index&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_animation_prop&quot;:&quot;transform&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;]}]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-494c139\" data-id=\"494c139\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df1f788 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"df1f788\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Dr. Katie Rothwell, ND, HBSc<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56dfa78 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"56dfa78\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow them on Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/your.thyroid.nd\/\">@your.thyroid.nd<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p><p><b>Tell us a little bit about yourself and your background!\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am a Naturopathic Doctor, [educator, and clinic owner from Barrie, Ontario] with a clinical focus in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rootedinhealth.ca\/hypothyroidism-thyroid-conditions\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">thyroid conditions <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rootedinhealth.ca\/seven-signs-common-condition-causing-thyroid-disorder\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hashimoto\u2019s Disease<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My mission is to break the mold of traditional thyroid care that leaves so many hypothyroid sufferers feeling forgotten and fatigued.

I&#8217;ve been practicing for almost 7 years now, and I really started focusing on thyroid disorders in the past 3-4 years. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The majority of my practice is now composed of women with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto&#8217;s Thyroiditis specifically.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>What inspired you to focus on helping people with thyroid conditions?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly enough, this happened quite organically. I just started seeing more patients with thyroid concerns and started to really resonate with their struggles and experiences.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It was very clear that the conventional medical system had failed them and many of them felt very alone and unheard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a huge gap that exists in the medical approach to treating hypothyroidism and Hashimoto&#8217;s. Being able to fill that gap and help these women reclaim their lives has been my biggest inspiration and is really what fuels the passion that I have for treating thyroid disorders.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Do you have any thyroid problems yourself?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While I do not have any thyroid problems myself, I struggled with very similar health issues throughout my 20s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the time, I was experiencing debilitating anxiety, fatigue, and frequent panic attacks that severely impacted my quality of life. I often felt like a prisoner in my own body, trapped by my symptoms with absolutely no control over how I felt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After being dismissed time and time again by my own doctors, I decided to take my health into my own hands. Once I discovered the root cause of my issues and made changes to my diet and lifestyle to finally get my life back, I made it my mission to help others break free from the shackles of their health issues.<\/span><\/p><p><b>How would you describe your treatment methods?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My main goal with any treatment that I recommend is to address the underlying root cause. I use a variety of non-invasive, natural tools to help achieve this goal: nutrition, supplementation with nutrients and herbs, as well as lifestyle counseling which includes stress management, sleep hygiene, exercise and movement, and environmental health.<\/span><\/p><p><b>What is something you hope to achieve in 2022?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something I hope to achieve in 2022 is to be able to empower and support hundreds of women with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto&#8217;s to reclaim their energy and feel like themselves again.

I work in women\u2019s health, supporting women of all ages with thyroid conditions. Most commonly, I am treating Hashimoto\u2019s, hypothyroidism, and fertility affected by a thyroid diagnosis. Many patients seek out care to access Natural Desiccated Thyroid (NDT) prescription medication, which they are often unable to obtain from their endocrinologist or family doctor.<\/span><\/p><p><b>What inspired you to focus on helping people with thyroid conditions?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have a thyroid condition myself, this led to my passion and clinical focus.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know firsthand what it\u2019s like to suffer from symptoms, how frustrating and long it took to reach a diagnosis, and when a medication-only approach only got me so far with my health and symptom resolution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A thyroid diagnosis is an opportunity to take control of our health, with a little guidance, this can be simple and easily achieved. I say this because this was my exact experience, in a way my thyroid condition propelled me to take better care of myself and get clear on what aspects of my health are important to focus on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, I support other women in treating their root causes, improving their health, and taking ownership over their thyroid condition.<\/span><\/p><p><b>How would you describe your treatment methods?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a Naturopathic Doctor, I use a patient-centered holistic approach. I get to know the patient\u2019s current health, health history, diet, lifestyle, and symptoms of concern. We establish a baseline of their health through labs and symptom tracking. Then we work in a step-wise manner to establish the foundations of health, improve nutrition to allow the thyroid to thrive, reduce known triggers and contributing factors while working at improving their symptoms of concern and reducing their risk of chronic disease.<\/span><\/p><p><b>What is something you hope to achieve in 2022?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My group program, The Thyroid Resolution Method, is launching in 2022. With this program, I can support women outside the borders of where I can practice one-on-one with patients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope to be able to help more women understand the root causes of their thyroid condition and guide them to a higher state of health so they can live their lives to the fullest and be more able to excel in their relationships and roles. My goal every year is to share information and help more women.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c135cc9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c135cc9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;_id&quot;:&quot;059e101&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_tablet&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_image_mobile&quot;:{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_speed&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;%&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:50,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;jet_parallax_layout_type&quot;:&quot;scroll&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_fx_direction&quot;:null,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_z_index&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_x_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y&quot;:50,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_y_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_tablet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_bg_size_mobile&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_animation_prop&quot;:&quot;transform&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;]}]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8d3b2a7\" data-id=\"8d3b2a7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aad235c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"aad235c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Priscilla Blevins, RDN<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58a5a8f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"58a5a8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow them on Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/keto.girl.nutritionist\/\">@keto.girl.nutritionist<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p><p><b>Tell us a little bit about yourself and your background!\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have my Masters of Science in Nutritional Sciences and am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I specialize in thyroid imbalance and weight loss for women with Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto\u2019s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My clients are unable to lose weight traditionally by eating less and working out harder. I take a unique anti-inflammatory approach to their diet, which is noted to improve absorption of nutrients and medication.<\/span><\/p><p><b>What inspired you to focus on helping people with thyroid conditions?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I started out in healthcare working in hospitals where I specialized in thyroid health and nutrition. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was tired of seeing patients come in, get on medication, provide the diet, and never see them again.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I wanted to make a difference as I knew the right diet can be life-changing when coupled with support and accountability. This led me to open my virtual private practice, Keto Girl Nutritionist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><b>Do you have any thyroid problems yourself?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I do not. My passion for keto stems from my own health journey \u2013 from being diagnosed with a heart murmur at birth as well as Shone\u2019s Complex, a very rare congenital heart defect consisting of multiple left heart obstructive defects. At age 12, I was 30 pounds overweight and my \u201cwell-meaning\u201d heart doctor told me \u201cyou can never get fat or you\u2019ll die.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was left struggling with my self-confidence and insecure in my body. Although I was only 12, I felt so uncomfortable in my skin and motivated to make a change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Determined to lose the weight, I began cutting down on my portions and following low calorie diets. This led me to cutting out fat, starving all the time, and developing unhealthy eating behaviors.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It wasn\u2019t until I began studying nutrition when I realized my entire approach to \u201cdieting\u201d was ALL WRONG!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After navigating low calorie diets that left my social life in shambles and food guilt at an all-time high, I got accepted to pursue my Master\u2019s degree in Nutrition, and my entire mindset towards nutrition and weight loss changed forever!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was when I began to realize an anti-inflammatory approach to keto for weight loss is essential for women with Hypothyroidism &amp; Hashimoto\u2019s.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I noticed that when I applied the same keto method for my clients with Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto\u2019s, they started to finally break that barrier and lose consistent weight, improve their mood, energy and even get off medication!\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s about understanding the underlying factors that are contributing to your weight gain and addressing those so that you can lose weight! \u00a0My approach to keto weight loss is simple, anti-inflammatory, and sustainable!\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a Registered Dietitian, I took my own struggles with poor body image and disordered eating to create a successful online private practice where I get to show women how to lose weight consistently, reverse their PCOS, Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto\u2019s, get off thyroid medication and create sustainable eating habits so they can be the best version of themselves, empowered to finally live their BEST LIFE!<\/span><\/p><p><b>How would you describe your treatment methods?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ladies with Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto\u2019s are misinformed that they will need to be on thyroid medication for life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What sets me apart, is that women are finally able to lose consistent weight for the first time while reversing their thyroid imbalance symptoms (i.e. Improved energy, sleep, decreased sugar cravings, and decreased joint pain, etc.).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I collaborate with Functional Medicine Doctors who refer their clients to me, and during the process, the Doctors redraw the thyroid panel, noting improvement, and are able to decrease and even take clients off of their medication within three months of working together.<\/span><\/p><p><b>What is something you hope to achieve in 2022?\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[To] reach more women with Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto\u2019s and help them lose consistent weight, get off thyroid medication and feel empowered to live their best life!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 8th, marks International Women\u2019s Day.
