The Woman Who Chose to Live, to Heal, and to Tell the Truth
There was a time — not so long ago — when my life felt like it had been stolen from me in the quietest of ways.
Not by tragedy.
Not by catastrophe.
But by something far more sinister:
A slow unraveling.
A fading.
A vanishing of the woman I once knew myself to be.
My name is A.L. Childers, though the world has come to know me by many titles:
Author. Researcher. Healer. Rebel. Truth-teller. Woman reborn from the ashes of her own body.
But before any of that, I was simply a woman sitting in a doctor’s office being told:
“Your labs are normal.”
While I sat there thinking:
Then why can I no longer breathe inside my own skin?
✨ THE UNRAVELING
My story does not begin with triumph.
It begins with symptoms — the quiet villains that strip a life piece by piece.
The exhaustion that felt biblical.
Hair thinning like a slow confession.
Heart palpitations that whispered fear into the night.
Anxiety so thick it fogged the soul.
Weight gain that wasn’t mine but clung to me like a thief in the dark.
Constipation. Brain fog. Rage. Tears.
An emotional roller coaster I never agreed to ride.
And the eyebrows…
Gone, as if they simply walked off the job.
But the worst part wasn’t the symptoms.
It was the dismissal.
“Maybe you’re stressed.”
“Maybe it’s in your head.”
“Maybe you’re just getting older.”
No.
Something inside me — something ancient and knowing — whispered:
“Fight back.”
🔥 THE AWAKENING
I did not become a healer because life was gentle with me.
I became a healer because life demanded it.
I became my own:
- Researcher
- Advocate
- Investigator
- Nutritionist
- Student
- Teacher
I dug through medical journals.
I devoured books at my kitchen table long after midnight.
I started peeling back the layers of my illness like an onion, crying as I went — sometimes from truth, sometimes from hope.
I discovered:
- My body was starving for nutrients.
- My environment was drenched in chemicals.
- My food was more poison than nourishment.
- My hormones were screaming for help.
- My thyroid wasn’t my enemy — it was my messenger.
The message?
“Heal me, and I will heal you.”
🌿 THE QUEST (THE ONE THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING)
I learned that hypothyroidism is not a one-pill problem.
It is a root-cause labyrinth — a maze of inflammation, stress, toxins, trauma, genetics, food choices, nutrient depletion, and modern living.
I realized the system was not broken.
It was functioning exactly as designed.
Doctors treated numbers, not people.
Medication replaced investigation.
Symptoms were managed — never understood.
And the deeper I fell into the research, the more I saw:
We are living in a world drenched in endocrine disruptors —
in our food, our water, our homes, our skin, our lungs.
We are drowning in abundance
while starving for nutrients.
We have grocery stores bursting with “food”
that cannot feed a human soul.
We have medicine that treats,
but does not heal.
So I made a decision that felt like rebellion:
I would not be silent.
I would not shrink.
I would not accept a life half-lived.
✨ THE RISE OF THE AUTHOR
I wrote my first book out of desperation.
I wrote my second out of determination.
I wrote the dozens after that out of purpose —
a purpose that continues to roar inside me like a fire that refuses to be tamed.
Today, I am the author of over 200 books:
📚 Books that heal.
📚 Books that expose.
📚 Books that awaken.
📚 Books that nourish.
📚 Books that tell stories the world tried to silence.
I write because women deserve to understand their bodies.
I write because truth is a form of medicine.
I write because someone must say the things the world avoids.
I write because healing is not a luxury —
It is a birthright.
And I write because everything I needed when I was drowning…
did not exist.
So I created it.
🌟 THE WOMAN BEHIND THE WORDS
I am living proof that:
- You can rebuild a life from the inside out.
- You can fight systems designed to confuse you.
- You can reclaim your health with knowledge.
- You can resurrect a body doctors dismissed.
- You can transform pain into purpose.
And most of all:
You can become your own hero.
My purpose is simple:
✨ To help you feel seen.
✨ To help you rise.
✨ To give you tools that took me decades to uncover.
✨ To remind you that your body can heal.
✨ To empower you to stop surviving… and start living.
You deserve a roadmap.
You deserve answers.
You deserve to take your life back.
And that is why I write.
📚 MY WORK — AND WHY IT MATTERS
Every book I write is a lantern.
A guide.
A companion for the journey you didn’t ask to take.
My thyroid and wellness books have changed lives.
My autoimmune guides have brought women back to themselves.
My cookbooks nourish bodies that forgot how to trust food.
My exposés shine light on what power prefers to keep hidden.
My fantasy books awaken the magic in your blood.
My spiritual books recall ancient knowledge we were never meant to forget.
My work is not entertainment.
It is transformation.
💛 THE INVITATION
If you are here, reading this, then hear me clearly:
You are not broken.
You are overwhelmed.
You are not failing.
You are fighting a battle no one explained to you.
You are not alone.
You are awakening.
Let this be the chapter where your story changes.
Let this be the moment you choose yourself.
You deserve answers.
You deserve health.
You deserve joy that is not rationed or conditional.
And you deserve a guide who has walked the labyrinth and returned with the map.
I am honored to walk beside you.
With truth, with love, and with fire —
A.L. Childers
Author. Healer. Rebel. Awakener.
XOXO
It’s an utterly ridiculous notion to think that your work can’t make your heart sing and your soul smile. My life is to short and too valuable to be unfulfilling. I don’t want my life to be in a routine where I start to feel dull and I start to slowly die on the inside. I will express myself with all my skill and my life with enthusiasm! I am here to stay and screaming out to the world, “Here I come ready or not”!
Brilliantly written, startling truthful and utterly original. This is A.L. Childers at her absolute best. She sets an exciting new level of awareness for hypothyroidism. An unforgettable list of well-written books that will help you find that lost piece of yourself.

May I ask which book are you referring too?
Green beans, Navy beans, Lentils, chickpeas and kidney beans are in the legume family and are very good for your thyroid unless you have a food allergy. These beans are a rich in Iodine and a excellent source of fiber. Total dietary fiber intake should be 25 to 30 grams a day from food, not supplements. Are you getting your daily intake? Probably not, so these beans that I have listed are an excellent choice to add to your plate. Soy & peanuts are also legumes and I never-ever suggest those. I do go into detail on why you avoid soy.
AVOID SOY
You must be confused about soy as so much has been said about this little bean. Well, if you have a thyroid condition, it’s likely that your hormonal health overall has been compromised. It’s best to avoid soy as it elevates the estrogen levels.
Food to avoid: tofu, soymilk, soy lecithin (used as fillers in f.eg veggie burgers), and soy oil.
Fermented soy like miso and tempeh are OK though. Always pick non-GMO (non-genetically modified) and MSG-free miso and tempeh)
Soy products have hormone disrupting effects. Soy is also high in isoflavones (or goitrogens), which can damage your thyroid gland. Products containing soy protein appear in nearly every aisle of the supermarket. That’s because soy doesn’t just mean tofu. Traditional soy foods also include soymilk, soynuts and edamame (green soybeans), just to name a few. Food companies also develop new food products containing soy protein from veggie burgers to fortified pastas and cereals. READ your labels. Don’t worry you still can eat fried brown rice but replace it with Coconut amino’s instead. Soy is estrogen mimicking, goitrogenic, hexane filled, protease inhibiting, GMO & a environmental destroying food.”
Also, dairy can be a issue if you have a food allergy to it. I also explain more in-detail about dairy in my book.
FIND OUT WHAT FOOD SENSITIVIES YOU MIGHT HAVE –
It is believed that as much as 70% of our current population has some form of food sensitivities (different from allergies) and the main culprits are:
Gluten
Soy
Dairy
Eggs
Yeast
Fructose
Nuts
How do you know if you have it? Eliminate one food culprit at a time for 2 weeks, see if you feel any better, and then re-introduce it in large amount after the 2 weeks. If symptoms (such as bloating, headaches, fatigue, foggy brain, eczema, acne, etc.) come back, you know the culprit. It’s critical to cut out the culprit(s) as it aggravates your immune system.
The microwave? Do you have a cell phone? Today, with technologies like television and wireless Internet, we’re being subjected to more radiation than ever. A cell phone produces about the same frequency of electromagnetic radiation as a microwave oven, ( more if you have a 5G cell phone) but I’m guessing that you probably don’t hold a microwave oven to the side of your head for hours at a time, do you? I’m apologize that you’re getting lost in my book. As diseases go, you would think that it would be a cinch to diagnose and pretty straightforward to treat. Each of us are unique individuals with different sensitivities. None of has the same exact routine as far as what foods we eat, what chemicals we are exposed to and what medications we take but yet we all are similar when it comes to our thyroids not working properly. Every Cell in your body responds to the foods you eat, the products you put on your body to the house hold chemicals that you purchase for your home. All of these things have a direct impact on your hormones and in return your hormones have a direct impact on every major system in your body. Not to mention that our body is lacking certain nutrients that heavily influence the function of every cell in our body.
The foods that we consume, oh, the foods we consume.
