Maria was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s nearly 20 years ago and told that because it ran in her family, she would likely take thyroid medication indefinitely. When she once asked her doctor what it would take to stop, his answer stunned her: “You have to die.”
Years later, while navigating the end of her marriage, Maria discovered Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself. She began meditating and says the work helped her release years of anger and resentment. After attending her first Dr Joe Dispenza retreat, she also began envisioning a different future for her health.
Working with her doctors and monitoring her bloodwork, Maria’s medication was gradually reduced. She later chose to stop taking it and continued monitoring her levels. In January 2026, after two years without the medication, she says her testing came back normal.
But her health was only one part of the future she was creating. Maria also remarried, found the loving relationship she had envisioned, and built a blended family of six. Through every change, she kept returning to one idea: “The unknown has never disappointed me.” Today, she says she’s living the life she once dreamed about and looking forward to whatever comes next.
Recorded at the Cancun 10-Day Advanced Retreat in June, 2026.
