I’m sitting here writing this at one of my favorite cafes, coffee in hand, trying not to cry in front of the cute couple sitting across from me.

This is harder than I thought.

For the last 6 years, Gio and I have shown up just about every week. Sharing with you the insights we’ve discovered through books, podcasts, and our personal experiences as we’ve navigated our own individual health journeys.

We’ve gone through 2 brand changes and a few identity crises (remember when I almost tried to be a business coach, or the old days of Eat N R...

Over the last few of weeks I've put together a compilation of the many hypothyroid questions I’ve gotten on social media, from 1:1 clients, and from my Club members. In this multi-part series I’m answering them all. 

Today we're covering... 

• What do I do if my doctor says my labs are fine, but I still am struggling with my weight? 
• What's your opinion on nightshades?
• Are rice noodles "bad"? I'm so hungry after a workout and 2 cups of rice/quinoa just doesn't fill me up like 1 cup of gluten-free pasta. 
• What causes non hashimotos hyp...

Last week I put together a compilation of the many hypothyroid questions I’ve gotten on social media, from 1:1 clients, and from my Club members. In this multi-part series I’m answering them all. 

Today we're covering... 

• What type of exercise routine is best for someone with hypothyroidism?
• I have Hashimoto’s, IBS-C, and SIBO methane and can’t find relief. I’ve tried eating better, supplements, I workout daily, sleep more, sleep less. I’ve tried everything. What should I do?
• Should I be tracking my macros or calories differently if ...

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.

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...

Last week we started an important conversation about hormonal weight which inevitably sent us down a rabbit hole, talking about mistakes, misconceptions, and important nuances. 

We touched on the first hormone impacting your weight loss: cortisol. So I highly recommend you go back and take a listen since everyone is impacted by stress. Click here to do that now. 

If you're already caught up, you're ready to jump into today's episode where we're going through the rest of the core weight-management hormones: estrogen, testosterone, insulin, ...

This week I did something I almost never do on Instagram. I called someone out. Well not just someone, I called out a fellow weight loss coach who I actually highly respect and admire (and who has 974k followers). 

In his post, he claimed experts that talk about the connection between cortisol (and other hormones) and weight gain are lying to you and just trying to scare you into buying their programs. 

His argument? That if cortisol was responsible for weight gain, prisoners of war who are underfed but highly stressed would gain weight. 

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...
