Nataliia Sanzo, LDN, RD.

As someone who personally was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, I know exactly how you feel and where you're coming from. 

I am just a regular girl who moved to the US from Ukraine, finished the accredited dietetics program at Vanderbilt University, and became a  Licensed Registered Dietitian, Commercial Pilot, and author. Needless to say, I live a busy, full, vibrant life, and I want the same for you! With me, you will learn how to live well with autoimmune disease.  
The core mission of this podcast is self-empowerment so you can demand better care and not give up on the challenges that thyroid disease may throw your way.

I hope you find this podcast to be a great resource for your journey back to optimal health.
