Last week we started a deep dive conversation on the 5 root causes that drive Hashimoto's so you can be empowered to address them and significantly reduce - if not entirely demolish - stubborn symptoms.

3. Chronic Stress: The Silent Thyroid Killer

We often think of stress as a mental health issue, but stress has a direct biochemical impact on your thyroid—and it’s a HUGE factor in trigger...

 Did you know most doctors won’t test for Hashimoto’s in their hypothyroid patients because it doesn’t change their course of treatment? Regardless of why you’re hypothyroid, they’re going to do one thing and one thing only: put you on thyroid medication. 

This is a massive disservice to us hypothyroid warriors given the fact that roughly 95% of hypothyroid cases are caused by hashimoto’s (if you’re unfamiliar, hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks your thyroid gland). 

If we know why our thyroid is malfunctioning, we...

 Arguably the most common questions I get from both clients and strangers on the internet alike are about supplements. So here we are, finally dedicating a whole episode to them. 

But before we dive in, I want you to know why it’s taken me this long to cover such a hot topic. 

Supplements can not magically compensate for poor nutrition, chronic stress, inadequate sleep, or a sedentary lifestyle. They exist to lend a little ‘oomf’, a little extra support, a little health bump if you will. They can fill some gaps left by poor farming practic...

 If you're hypothyroid, standard weight loss advice probably pisses you off...

Some gym bro on the Internet is telling you to just eat less, workout harder, track your macros, and only eat during x hours.

Been there, done that. It isn’t. fucking. working.

In fact, if you're following that advice, it's probably pushing you deeper into your plateau. But we'll get to that in a minute.

This is why I decided to create my ‘Why Can’t I Lose Weight Nutrition Intensive’. To not only give clarity as to why everything you’ve tried hasn’t worked. Bu...

Last week I shared the first two steps of living a symptom-free life with Hashimoto's. These are the steps I parsed down from 2 decades of my own trial and error, literally hundreds of hours of research, time working with a number of functional medicine practitioners, over a decade of working 1:1 with clients, and expanding my knowledge with programs like Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, Gut Honest Truth Academy, Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and Functional Nutrition Alliance. 

I wish I had a shortcut when I was first diagnosed... th...

I remember sitting in my college apartment listening to a woman on a podcast talking about how she healed her Hashimoto's. 

It took her years, but she did it. 

It felt so daunting, so long, so out of reach to me. 

I literally couldn’t fathom a life without crippling fatigue, without embarrassing digestive issues. I couldn’t imagine going to the gym without worrying that it would cause a flare or being happy with what I saw in the mirror.  

I couldn’t imagine escaping this box that Hashimoto's kept me in. This box that kept me small, and ...

Summary  

This episode is for my mom.

Like me, she's dealt with years of mystery health issues. She's gone to countless doctors, tried hundreds of supplements, dozens of diets, and only ever experiences relief for short periods of time. 

But among her many tests, the one that sticks out to me is that her adrenals are absolutely shot. And if there is one thing that will put a halt to any healing, it's burned out adrenals. 

She told me about this months ago, so why am I only just writing this episode now?

Because while I was...

Summary 

Sometimes the more you dig into nutrition studies, the more confused you become. 

I could find you literally hundreds of articles proving that alcohol has health benefits as well as hundreds of articles proving that you should never have a sip of alcohol again. 

Same can be said for fat, carbs, fasting, soy, dairy, grains... the debates on what's good vs evil are endless. 

But one controversial drink hits a little too close to home for many of us.

We start the day with it, we use it to connect with others, we rely o...
