In this group you will be lead through naturopathic treatments for Hashimoto’s. There are two weeks between classes to allow you to work on making improvements in your health.
Dr. Barrett designed this program after treating Hashimoto’s patients and realizing more time was needed during visits as well as recognizing the need for community support with autoimmune disease. This group is a good fit if you are new to naturopathic medicine and if you are already working with a naturopathic/functional provider.
Each class is 90 minutes in duration and packed with information.
Dr. Barrett will facilitate the program and present new information in each class. Some of the topics include:

An overview of Hashimoto’s
Common lab tests and functional/naturopathic optimal ranges
Elimination diet specific for Hashimoto’s
Nutrients and supplements utilized in Hashimoto’s
Endocrine disruptors and impact on thyroid health
Adrenal function and how it relates to thyroid health

You will receive ‘homework’ assignments after each class. Sharing your experiences with the group is encouraged but not required. Introverts welcome!
​Dr. Barrett has invited Jesse Haas, LN and Erica Wallace Moore, reiki master to present during the group.
Participants are invited to join an online community in Mighty Networks dedicated to Hashimoto’s that they may remain a part of even after the class ends.
Graduates of this program are able to join monthly meet ups to stay connected to the Hashimoto’s community.
This program allows you to gain many of the tools you would learn in a naturopathic initial visit and several follow ups all for the price of an initial visit.

Wellness Minneapolis: Emotional Eating Explained
2022-02-09 18:00 - 19:00 | Virtual
Take home some strategies from this virtual class with Jesse Haas, CNS, LN for breaking the emotional eating pattern in loving, joyful ways.

About this event

Why is it that boredom, grief, anger and even joy stimulate the desire to eat?
The truth is, emotional eating is an effective tool for relieving stress. Yet, while that cookie may make you feel better in the moment, it’s not truly a solution to your emotional strain. Food can never fill the void of hard emotions. Instead, it soothes us, putting a band-aid on the wound.
There are biochemical explanations for why you crave certain foods or have an increased appetite when you’re facing emotionally challenging things. AND there are alternatives to eating that support healing mind, body and spirit. Join us for a virtual conversation with Jesse Haas, functional nutritionist and co-founder of Wellness Minneapolis and take home some strategies for breaking the emotional eating pattern in loving, joyful ways.
This class will not be recorded.

About Your Instructor: ​Jesse Haas is a licensed functional nutritionist, health coach, and co-founder of Wellness Minneapolis. She has a keen interest in the mind-body-heart connection and brings this perspective into every class and client interaction to empower authentic and healing self-care.
