Holistic Hashimoto's Virtual Program

Living with Hashimoto’s can feel overwhelming. Many people continue to experience fatigue, brain fog, digestive symptoms, weight changes, hair loss, and other symptoms even after starting thyroid medication. They often leave appointments with more questions than answers.

I created the Holistic Hashimoto’s Virtual Program to provide the education, guidance, and community that simply isn’t possible during a traditional office visit. Over 12 weeks, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of Hashimoto’s, learn practical, evidence-informed strategies to support your health, and connect with others navigating many of the same challenges. This program is modeled after my Holistic Hashimoto’s Group program but is accessible to folks who live outside of Minnesota.

Why I Created This Program

After years of caring for patients with Hashimoto’s, I noticed the same pattern over and over again. Patients left their appointments with good intentions but not enough time to fully understand their condition or implement meaningful changes. They wanted more education, more support, and the opportunity to connect with others who truly understood what they were experiencing.

Traditional office visits simply don’t allow enough time to cover everything that matters. I created this program to provide the education, guidance, and community that many of my patients were looking for.

I don’t believe there is one supplement, one diet, or one protocol that works for everyone with Hashimoto’s. My goal is to help you understand the many factors that can influence autoimmune thyroid disease so you can make informed decisions alongside your healthcare team and build an approach that fits your life.

This program combines current research, clinical experience, and practical strategies in a format designed to educate, support, and create lasting lifestyle change.

Is This Program Right for You?

This program may be a good fit if you:

  • Have been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or thyroid autoimmunity.
  • Continue to have symptoms despite treatment.
  • Want to better understand your thyroid labs and what they actually mean.
  • Feel overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition and supplement advice online.
  • Want practical, evidence-informed guidance rather than another fad protocol.
  • Appreciate learning alongside others who understand what you’re experiencing.
  • Are looking for long-term lifestyle strategies rather than quick fixes.

What the Program Includes

Whether you’ve been newly diagnosed or living with Hashimoto’s for years, this program is designed to help you better understand your condition and feel more confident managing your health.

The educational content is delivered through self-paced online modules that include recorded presentations, detailed handouts, worksheets, and practical resources that you can revisit at any time.

Live virtual Q&A sessions are offered every other week. Rather than spending our time in another lecture, we’ll focus on discussion, questions, troubleshooting challenges, accountability, and building community.

Throughout the program, you’ll also have access to a private online community where you can ask questions, share successes, and encourage one another between meetings.

The virtual programs are run in the Fall (Sept-Feb) and Winter (Jan-June). The online community and Q&A sessions are offered during the time. All of the modules, handouts and course information are yours to keep.

Topics We'll Cover

  • Understanding Hashimoto’s and autoimmunity
  • Understanding your thyroid laboratory tests
  • Gut health and the microbiome
  • Nutrition and an elimination/reintroduction protocol
  • Supplements, nutrient deficiencies, and thyroid medications
  • Stress, sleep, and nervous system regulation
  • Environmental health
  • Creating a personalized long-term wellness plan

The Elimination Diet

As part of the program, we’ll work through a guided elimination and reintroduction protocol together. Participation is completely optional. You’ll receive the full educational experience and benefit from the virtual discussions whether or not you choose to complete the elimination diet.

If you are pregnant, have a history of disordered eating, or have a medical condition that may make an elimination diet inappropriate, please discuss participation with your healthcare provider before beginning this portion of the program.

Optional Laboratory Testing

Participants who would like laboratory testing during the program may purchase an optional thyroid panel through our functional lab testing offering.

Access to the Course

After registering, you’ll receive access to the program through PracticeBetter. Course materials and the private online community become available at the start of the program. You’ll continue to have access to all course materials after the program ends, allowing you to revisit the videos, handouts, and resources whenever you need them.

Important Information

This program is educational in nature and is designed to complement, not replace, your medical care. Participation does not establish a doctor-patient relationship or substitute for individualized medical evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment.

Questions Before Registering?

If you’re unsure whether this program is the right fit for you, or if you have questions about the elimination diet, laboratory testing, or the course structure, please schedule a complimentary discovery call with Dr. Barrett. She would be happy to help you determine whether this program is a good fit for your goals.
