Dr. Heather Stone, DC
It’s said that “success leaves clues.” And in addition to this timeless truth…
When you have a problem that seemingly is impossible to solve, it’s best to look to others who’ve successfully solved the very same problem.
Dr. Heather used to suffer from low thyroid and Hashimotos. She was 50 lbs. overweight, tried every diet known to man, and bounced around from doctor-to-doctor until she decided to take matters into her own hands.
Dr. Heather got fed up, became a doctor, and dedicated her postdoctoral studies to figuring out why healthcare providers seemingly had no solutions for women who suffer with weight issues due to low thyroid and Hashimoto’s. Her work allowed her to lose all of the excess weight and keep it off for over 20 years later.

"A "New" Way of looking at our Wellness - "Functional Medicine"

 I have known "some of these facts" from my own research. What I recently learned is many of our "regular physicians" have learned to wait until there is a symptom and "treat" the symptom rather than finding the "root cause" of the symptom.

I never gave thought to being "Overweight'" or "Obese" as a symptom. Is is not a "cause". Many of us have all types of serious Autoimmune Illnesses, and inflammation is one of the main symptoms of many autoimmune illnesses, as well as other issues. From heart disease to Diabetes 2 are all "symptoms". Thise symptoms are not first what needs to be addressed. The "root cause" is the main reason.

Our diets lack essential vitamins, minerals, and the essential "building blocks" of what make up our cellular makeup. We go to our primary care doctor with a "symptom". It could be something such as a cough, headache, lump in your neck or many other "symptoms we can have. Rather than researching to find the root cause of why we have the cough or why we have gained or lost a significant amount of weight, all too often, we are given medicine for the symptoms. 

Now, we have doctors that do attempt to find out the "why". they may do Lab work, take X-rays, or do other testing. But, at times, they do not dig deeply enough to find out why we have recurrent sinus infections or why we have lost or gained more weight than what would be the usual amount for us. 

But, like myself my PCP had been doing Labs for years. One time, about a year ago, my TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) was low. So, rather than doing more labs to find out why I suddenly developed the issue, he immediately put me on "Synthroid," a man-made type of hormone. 

By the way, I learned there are 12 more Labs that he could have run to try and find out the "root cause" of why my thyroid was low. He did not do that. Now that I KNOW about this, I will mention it to him, or I will get tested for other things that could be the "root cause" of why my thyroid (T-4) is low. 

Last week, I went through a 3 DAY "Masterclass" about weight gain, diabetes, low thyroid, and what could be the "root cause" of many illnesses such as Autoimmune Diseases and Diabetes. It also will explain why I suddenly out on more weight than I wanted or should have. Plus, the weight is all in my abdomen and around my waist. Rather than blowing me off with age, illnesses, medications, and so forth, he needed to say, let's do more Labs to see if we can get down to the real issue. Those are NOT reasons; they are copouts. 

I did find out the latest injection everyone is taking for weight loss. It actually can help the heart. My cardiologist told me that. 

I'll be sharing more about this crucial information over the next few months. In February, there will be another "Masterclass about LowThyroid" and "Functional Medicine". I'll post dates (it will be a 3-day class, usually in the evenings, about 7pm Central Time). I encourage all of my friends with many different Autoimmune Illnesses and thyroid Issues and all of you who are sick and tired of being "sick and Tired." This will change your way of thinking about "Good Health" forever.

2025 Lupus, RA, and Life Happy New Year and Wishing Everyone a Well Year

 


I am trying to Updating my Blog and Finishing the Books I’ve been working on.



It has taken a while for me to get back into the habit of writing.

I have had so many issues with Rheumatoid Arthritis in my hands I have been struggling as to whether to begin dictating my writing rather than typing myself.


I recall not long ago when I actually wrote everything out long hand in ”journals”; which turned into what I transferred on the computer and thus became my books.  Much like “Stevie Nicks” who most know is my idol; she continues to write daily in journals of which some turn into songs. 


It’s been a long journey to get back to this place. Between doctor's appointments, finally getting a new Rheumatologist who is out of town about 25 minutes away,  beginning new medications, and I found “lumps” in the bends of my legs at the hip. I found out I have “inguinal lymphadenopathy”. I had an appointment with my PCP who told me what they were. He said most of the time they come from an infection somewhere in the body. The issue was I had no signs of an infection. He put me on an antibiotic for 7 days. It was at the holidays; so I waited to send him a message after the New Year.


Rather than try another antibiotic, he is referring me to a hematologist. Now the weather has gotten terrible. We are in 30-degree temperatures and the wind chill at 2 degrees this morning. It is supposed to continue for another 7 to 10 days and possibly get worse. Snow/rain is in the forecast for the next few days. There is no way I am driving even 15 miles in snow or possibly black ice on the highway. I may call and see how long it takes to get in to see him. I can also set the appointment for after this weather gets back to somewhat normal in the 50's or so.


My HOPE each of you are doing well. I pray this is a better year for many.

ALL KINDS OF THINGS HAPPENING! From Moving, Clearing out the house, Dealing with Extreme Heat, needing a new Rheumy (mine went into full time research) & more

 I realize I have not updated here in a long while. Between the extreme weather, I bought a RV to move into full time and getting rid of too much to take care of. 


From my lawn the 1/2 acre behind my home, my home needs a COMPLETE RENOVATION FROM ROOF TO GROUND, fighting a LUPUS FLARE and Lupus MIGRAINES, MY RA IS MUCH WORSE AND I AM BASICALLY OFF MY RA MEDS due to my long time (15 years) with my Rheumatologist. I believe he went in to full time teaching and/or research. 


My Osteoporosis, osteoarthritis is worse. My hands are in terrible shape. I went to a NEW PAIN SPECIALIST! He began to be great at first.Then he "got busy" and went on overload. Last month he really peeved me off. The pain meds he put men on caused me to lose down to 97 POUNDS! I had to find out on my own WHY I WAS LOSING WIEGHT SO QUICKLY AND SO MUCH! I researched it and found out severe and quick weight loss is ONE side effect of this medication. He basically CALL ME A LIAR last month in his office! Even my pharmacist and my PCP was on my side and said it was the medication causing it or much of it. 

So, I have had to adjust the way I eat, what I eat, drink 3 or more of the Nutritional drinks (such as "Boost" but I buy the "Equate" brand at Wally World" daily.nIt costs a small fortune but buying it online now at Wally World (free delivery) with the new Wal-Mart + I got 2.00 OFF OF EACH 6 PACK!

This "downsizing" and throwing away, giving away, and selling of so much after 18 years in the house has been and still is a daunting task to say the least. PLUS, I knew very little about RV'S! Inhave had to learn every little thing and plan to move to a nice RV park mid September or so. I am taking my time ckearing out the house, So many have been doing the same as myself; "minimizing" their items. We are either chronically ill, or tired of cleaning around things, having closets full or drawers full of things we do not use do not need or are just plain in the way and no longer necessary.

My PAIN LEVEL IS THROUGH THE ROOF WITH ALL OF THE MOVING THINGS AROUND, PLUS THE WEATHER CHANGING, NOW LOOKING AT THUNDERSTORMS TODAY and TOO MANY "IRONS IN THE FIRE".

I CAN PROUDLY SAY I HAVE DONE ALL OF THIS MYSELF..NO HELP, NO ADVISE... from RESEARCHING RV'S to looking at them, DECIDING TO PURCHASE ONE, CONTRACTS AND SO FORTH, I have done it all ALONE!

PLUS I AM SELLING MY HOME BY OWNER. I have already had 5 or 6 people interested. 

I even gave thought tonbuying a truck, getting a smaller RV (mine is 37 foot long)! Then towing it around Texas at times sonI can get out meet new people, go to Winstar, visit my daughter and family down by Corpus etc. I USED TO LOVE ROAD TRIPS! I HAD A GREAT DEAL OF REMINCING OVER MY TRIPS SNOW SKIING IN PAGOSA SPRINGS CO..AT WOLF CREEK SO MANY YEARS FOR MY BIRTHDAY EVERY FEBRUARY!

I no longer could snow ski, but traveling sounds very appealing. Taking my Doxie Bella on a few road trips; enjoying time away from the same old stuff and HOPEFULLY WRITING YET ANOTHER BOOK TO PUBLISH!    

Which I already have one "PRACTICALLY FINISHED" AND NEAR READY TO PUBLISH. I now see there is a desperate need for everyday people to know it is okay not to have all of the stuff we tend to have! How to be a "novice", someone with health problems, especially a woman and how to go about getting the house downsized, possibly get a "differejt or alternte type of living space). From Rv's to Tiny Houses, Container houses and more; we HVE MANY OPTIONS AVAILABLE!    

Whether remodeling, renovating, moving, getting into a new type of living space, making changes are difficult. When you are akone and chronically ill and in chronic oain it is MORE THAN A JOB FOR SURE!

I HAVE LEARNED A GREAT DEAL FROM WATCHING "STORAGE WARS", RENOVATIONS DONE CHEAPLY, RV'S AND WHAT THEY OFFER, ALTERNATIVE LIVING SPACES, TRAVELING AND SEEING NEW THINGS.. I  HAVE LEARED KOADS OF THINGS TO HELP MAKE A MOVE, A CHANGE, DOWNSIZING SOMETHING FUN AND EXCITING!


WHEN YOU GET TO BE 55 PLUS INTO YOUR 60'S YOU LEARN THE MAJORITY of things YOU CAN DO, WANT TO DO, AND DO NOT NEED MUCH HELP ...


SO, KEEP AN EYE OUT ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE AD HERE FOR MORE UPDATES!
