When the kids get sick, we’re the ones who make soup, tuck them in, take temperatures and Google remedies. But what happens when we get sick? Moms are tough, and so we suck it up. We take an Advil, keep calm and carry on. But the less we listen to our bodies and prioritize our health, the harder it will hit us. <\/p>

When Dr. Amy Myers<\/a> was in medical school, she started losing weight and experiencing sleepless nights. She didn’t know what was going on with her body. She was diagnosed with Graves’ disease<\/a>. This experience set her on her mission to help others take back their health. Now, most importantly, she strives to empower her daughter to live her best life.<\/p>

Dr. Myers is a two-time New York Times<\/em> bestselling author, mother to 7-year-old Elle, and CEO behind the wellness brand, Amy Myers MD®<\/a>. Her books, The Autoimmune Solution <\/em>and The Thyroid Connection<\/em>, along with her Amazon No. 1 bestseller, The Autoimmune Solution Cookbook<\/em>, have sold over 500,000 copies and have been translated into over a dozen languages around the world.<\/p>

We spoke with Dr. Myers to understand how she recovered from her autoimmune disease and how she adopted a healthy lifestyle with her daughter’s support.<\/p>
