Conventional chiropractic readjustments are often unsuitable treatments for people who suffer from chronic pain. Today’s guest is Dr. Emily Kiberd, a chiropractor whose approach to the treatment of people with a range of symptoms extends far beyond the scope of her discipline. Dr. Kiberd has a holistic methodology, and works with functional medicine practitioners, develops comprehensive lifestyle plans and workout programs, and seeks to understand the root cause of pain and imbalances in her clients. Part of her focus is on women who are either pregnant, have autoimmune issues, want to lose weight or have Hashimoto’s. Her treatment plan in these regards encourages women to embrace strength training and she has actually developed a specific program for this called Thyroid Strong. Dr. Kiberd joins us on the show today to speak about her diagnostic processes, workout plans, belief in the basic pillars of good health, and own process working through Hashimoto’s. She also gets into her experience with pregnancy and motherhood and talks about the lessons she has learned through the process as far as keeping her body and mind in good form. This episode should be valuable to anyone who cares about health and wellness, so make sure you join us for a brilliant conversation.

Whether they've been diagnosed or not, you need to stimulate the muscle tissue.” — @DrEmilyKiberd [0:19:28.1] “The biohacking movement is cool, but if you don't do the basics and you don't do them well, and do them consistently, does it matter what nootropic you take, or how many times you're plunging into a cold bath?” — @DrEmilyKiberd [0:46:49.1]   Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Dr. Emily Kiberd — https://www.dremilykiberd.com/ Urban Wellness Clinic — https://urbanwellnessclinic.com/ Blog Section of Urban Wellness Clinic — https://urbanwellnessclinic.com/blog/ Thyroid Strong — https://www.dremilykiberd.com/thyroid-strong/ The Wonder Weeks on Amazon —  https://www.amazon.com/Wonder-Weeks-stimulate-developmental-predictable-ebook/dp/B075LP82WL Dr. Gabrielle Lyon — https://drgabriellelyon.com/ Izabella Wentz — https://thyroidpharmacist.com/ PMR with Dr. Ehrlich — https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-celiac-maniac-show/paleo-magazine-radio/e/63957761 Ralph Esposito on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/dr.ralphesposito/ SHARE YOUR LOVE FOR PMR AND YOU CAN ENTER TO WIN SOME GREAT PALEO SWAG!
