What If ‘Waiting and Seeing’ Meant Waiting to Feel Worse?
That’s exactly what Abby’s doctor told her when she started feeling more exhausted, bloated, and foggy—even after being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and put on medication.
At first, the meds helped. But after a year, her levels were off again, and she felt worse than ever.
Her doctor’s advice? “Let’s wait and see.”
Wait… until what? Until she felt bad enough to justify another prescription? Until her body completely crashed?
What Abby didn’t realize was that hidden inflammatory stressors were silently keeping her body stuck—locked in a cycle of exhaustion, imbalance, and inflammation that made true healing feel out of reach.
But she knew one thing for sure:—there had to be another way.
So she kept searching.
That’s when she stepped into Ingrained Restoration—a proven, personalized pathway to healing and vitality.
Like many women I work with, Abby wasn’t looking for another restrictive diet or a magic supplement. She wanted a plan that made sense for her body—a plan that would help her get to the root.
What happened next changed everything: her health, her energy, and even the way she viewed her body.
Here’s what Abby shared with me about her journey—and how it could change yours, too.
From Fatigued & Frustrated to Energized & Empowered: Abby’s Story
When Abby came to me, she was bloated, fatigued, struggling to sleep, and frustrated by brain fog that made it hard to focus. Though she’d been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and placed on medication, her levels kept shifting—and her symptoms kept getting worse.
Her doctor continued to adjust her meds, but it wasn’t working. She needed something deeper.
“I felt like I had finally found someone who would advocate for me. I was hopeful. We were going to be proactive with my health.” – Abby
Together, we created a step-by-step renewal plan—removing what was triggering inflammation, restoring what had been depleted, and supporting her body’s natural ability to heal.
Here’s what changed:
✔ More Energy Than She’d Had in Years
“I have so much more energy, which is sustained throughout the day.”
✔ Brain Fog & Mood Swings Faded
“I only have occasional bloating and brain fog now. My mood swings aren’t nearly as extreme.”
✔ She Felt Like Herself Again
“I’m sleeping more solidly. I enjoy more time with my husband and dog—they’re both happier since I’m happier!”
✔ She Reclaimed Trust in Her Body
“I’m more in tune with my body. I feel empowered and look forward to continuing this journey of health.”
Abby didn’t just get rid of symptoms—she gained the freedom to enjoy life again, feeling confident in her body and the choices she was making for her health.
But Abby’s story isn’t just about her—it’s about what’s possible for you, too. Because if you’ve been spinning your wheels trying to feel better, and nothing is working, you’re not alone.
Why Most Approaches Fail (And How Healing Hidden Stressors Can Help)
You’ve been trying so hard to feel better:
✔ Eating “clean” and avoiding trigger foods
✔ Taking all the “right” supplements
✔ Going gluten-free, dairy-free, AIP, or keto
✔ Trying natural remedies, protocols, and programs
…and still, you feel stuck.
Here’s why:
Most health advice is too generic. It focuses on quick fixes instead of creating a truly personalized plan that honors your body, your story, and your healing process.
Instead of root-cause healing, you’re offered:
- Generic plans that ignore your uniqueness
- Advice to restrict, rather than nourish
- A lack of understanding of the nervous system, the gut, or the impact of inflammation
- Dismissive responses from providers when your labs are “normal”
So, you trudge on, quietly resigning yourself to the idea that maybe this is just the way it will always be.
Maybe you’ve heard…
“It’s just stress.”
“You’re getting older.”
“There’s nothing else to do right now.”
But your body keeps whispering: Something isn’t right.
When you know how to listen and respond, healing becomes possible.
How I Guide Women to Whole-Person Healing & Restoration
I understand because I’ve walked this road myself.
For so long, I felt like my body was betraying me—exhausted, inflamed, foggy-headed, and battling symptoms that no one, not even the ‘experts,’ could explain.
I was doing everything “right.”
I followed all the best natural health advice.
I eliminated foods, started supplements, and researched endlessly.
I tried so hard… and still felt awful—even more confused about what I should be doing and who I should trust.
Something wasn’t adding up.
But when I finally stopped chasing generic solutions and started uncovering what my body actually needed… everything changed.
That shift—away from striving, and toward deeper, personalized restoration—is what now shapes the way I walk with women through healing.

1. Remove What’s Hindering Healing
Addressing Hidden Stressors and Inflammation
Your body can’t heal in a state of constant inflammation and imbalance.
We begin by identifying and removing the root-level stressors keeping your system in distress.
✔ Food and food chemical sensitivities triggering inflammation
✔ Gut imbalances, intruders, and overgrowth disrupting digestion and immunity
✔ Nervous system overload and lifestyle depletion draining your energy and resilience
We lay a calming foundation with foods that love your body back and practices that support deep rest.
What happens? Inflammation starts to calm. Digestion improves. Energy stabilizes.
2. Restore What’s Been Missing
Replenishing What Your Body Needs to Heal
Your body can’t function optimally without key nutrients and nourishment—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
✔ Targeted nutrients for gut repair, immune support, and hormone balance
✔ Mineral repletion, hydration, and nervous system regulation
✔ Grace-filled nourishment that brings joy—not fear
What happens? More energy, clearer thinking, deeper sleep, steadier moods, and real momentum.
3. Cultivate a Life of Renewal
Creating Rhythms That Sustain Your Healing
True healing isn’t just about fixing symptoms—it’s about creating a way of living that honors your wholeness.
✔ Expanding food freedom and body trust
✔ Refining your rhythms and life-giving routines
✔ Aligning your lifestyle with your purpose and values
What happens? Confidence. Clarity. Freedom. You’re not just surviving anymore—you’re flourishing.
Healing Isn’t a Destination—It’s a Way of Living
Stewarding your health isn’t about chasing the next diet or supplement. It’s about returning to the sacred rhythm of nourishment, restoration, and wholeness.
It’s about caring for your body with kindness and tenderness—honoring it as a good gift from God.
When you remove what’s hindering, restore what’s missing, and cultivate rhythms of renewal, healing becomes something you can sustain—not just for a season, but for a lifetime.
When You’re Ready for Your Next Step to Healing: An Invitation to Deeper Care
If Abby’s story stirred something in you—a longing for deeper care, or a quiet nudge to tend to your body with more kindness—consider this your invitation to begin.
I invite you into a space I call a Welcome Hour: a private, 60-minute session held with deep presence, grace, and discernment. This isn’t just a call—it’s a threshold moment.
Think of it as sitting down together at a beautifully prepared table—unhurried, soul-honoring, and gently guided.
Whether your body feels weary from years of symptoms or your spirit longs for rest, clarity, or reconnection, this hour offers space to pause and explore what healing or renewal might look like in the season ahead.
During our time together, we’ll:
✔ Tenderly explore your story, symptoms, and longings
✔ Reflect on why past efforts may have fallen short—and what a more sustainable, whole-person path might look like
✔ Discern whether one of my signature pathways is the next right step—or if your story is inviting a different level of care right now
If something in you is stirring—if you’re ready for a space to pause, listen, and tend to what’s been quietly aching—and a guide who meets you with grace and clarity—I’d be honored to meet you there.
You don’t have to keep pushing through the weariness—whether in your body or your spirit—or trying to figure out what you’re “supposed” to do for your health amid all the conflicting advice. There is a more restful, clear, and sustainable way forward.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to begin.
With grace and hope,
Bethany
