There’s a lot of information out there on what to do when you’re hypothyroid. There’s a bit less information on what to do when you’re hyperthyroid. But there is a whole lot less information on what to do once your thyroid is gone (usually due to Hashimoto’s, nodules, or thyroid cancer). 

This information gap was brought to my attention by an attendee of my free hypothyroid heroes q&a coaching call (which I’ll be hosting again August 21, 6-7 pm, click here to grab your spot) and it was a topic that seemed worth exploring here with you.

Raise your hand if this sounds familiar:

You wake up in pain—slowly working your way out of bed, stretching and wincing as you go. Before you even brush your teeth, you’re popping an ibuprofen, hoping it'll get you through the day.

I get it. When you’re hurting, you want relief fast. And NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like Advil and Aleve) can seem like the easiest fix.

But here’s the problem: that little pill you’re reaching for each day might actually be keeping you stuck in a cycle of pain and inflammation long term. I k...

Navigating the world of nutrition these days feels like assembling a puzzle with pieces from different boxes—some fit, some almost fit, and some make you question if you’re even working on the right picture.

You can have world renowned experts preaching opposite nutrition philosophies - yet both make great arguments, both seem logical, and both have a slew of studies backing their claims.

So how are you supposed to make any decisions? How do you know worthy pursuits from time-wasters? How do you avoid spending money on more snake oil?

I am a nutritionist, I love to cook, I generally have a decent amount of freedom in my schedule. I have no reason to not get in the kitchen every day.

But if I’m being totally honest with you, sometimes I just don’t wanna.

Sometimes - like this past week - I’m working on multiple projects and just don’t have the time or mental bandwidth to find and make recipes.

Sometimes I’m burned out eating the same dishes I keep gravitating to but am not feeling inspired enough to find fresher options.

And sometimes I frankly just want to be lazy ...

Over the years my podcast co-host, Gio, has struggled with many of the same issues you have.

Stubborn weight, constipation, gas, bloating, acne, PMDD, fatigue...

And while we've made incredible strides over the years simply by making tweaks to her nutrition and lifestyle, much like me, there was that last 15% of symptoms that just wouldn't budge. 

It's usually at this point - when you've altered the diet, brought more consistency to your workouts, have tried various supplements - that I recommend ditching the more general advice, stop p...

Nearly a quarter of American adults - 52 million people - deal with chronic pain. The kind of pain that you might find brief relief from after a good massage, stretch session, or adjustment, but which always seems to come back with a vengeance. 

Why is it so hard to find relief that lasts?? 

It's the same reason I talk about all the time in regards to hypothyroidism... we aren't getting to the root of the problem. 

We're masking symptoms, playing in the shallow end of treatment, never digging deep enough to pull up the problem by its root...

Ever wondered how a nutritionist approaches their own hormone-healing journey? 

In part 2 of this updates episode I'm revealing:

• The labs that finally gave me some clarity about my persistent acne, hair loss, and intense pms.
• The protocols I'm putting myself through to address estrogen dominance, MTHFR and detox issues, hypothyroidism, and leaky gut.
• The simple diet shift that finally helped me turn a corner with symptoms that have stuck around through dozens of healing protocols.

I also shared the exciting news that starting in Jul...

Do you ever have those moments in life where it feels like everything - and I mean everything - is going through massive transformation and you’re just trying to keep pace with the momentum that’s building?

On the one hand you’re excited because it feels like you’re swiftly moving towards the life you envisioned for yourself, but also you’re trying not to drown in the intensity of all the change?

That’s what the last 3 months have looked like for me.

I’ve been more dialed in with my health than ever, finding answers that have evaded me fo...

Blood sugar balance. It’s like the hot new guy in school that everyone is talking about and everyone is trying to get.

It seems to affect every area of health, longevity, and weight loss we’re trying to conquer.

Balanced blood sugar means:

• Less of the fat storage hormone insulin, making those stubborn pounds melt away.
• More stable mood and energy - read: more motivation for things like workouts and meal prep.
• Fewer cravings for carbs and sugar.
• Happier hormones - i.e. fewer symptoms related to menopause, PCOS, PMS, and hypothyroidism
