So, I’ll come right out and say it…
If you’re trying to lower your blood pressure through salt restriction or diuretics, then you’re in for a big surprise.
When working with clients, I see both low and high blood pressure.
It’s all about how YOUR body compensates for YOUR hypothyroidism, which is different from one person to the […]
Everyone knows that protein is important for thyroid health.
Yet, did you know that some protein sources can cause more harm than good?
That’s right.
Just trying to get more protein into your diet isn’t enough.
The source of that protein matters and is important too.
When it comes to protein powders, there are literally dozens of different types […]
Have you ever been really thirsty?
Maybe you’ve spent the day outside in the hot summer sun.
Or, maybe you’ve been drenched in sweat after physical activity.
Nobody questions a sign of thirst as a potentially harmful craving or addiction.
Thirst is simply a sign from your body that you need more water.
And because water is considered “healthy”, you […]
I’ll start this post with a warning…
The topic of hypothyroidism and anxiety is beyond complex. Trying to consume everything at once would be like trying to drink from a fire-hose. Instead, this post will be divided into parts as we peel back the many layers of anxiety and show you how you can overcome it.
Before […]
Is a high-protein diet good for your thyroid?
Well, that’s a difficult question to answer, because it really depends on what else you’re eating with all that protein.
If you’re eating one of those high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets, then I’m sorry to say, but your diet is definitely suppressing your thyroid.
Yet, even if you’re eating carbohydrates but practicing […]
What if doctors have it all wrong?
Well, it wouldn’t be the first time.
In the 1800’s doctors recommended cough syrup containing heroin.
Is that a chronic cough, or are you just addicted to your cough syrup?
In the 1940’s, mental disorders including depression and anxiety were being treated with frontal lobotomies.
You don’t really need that part of your […]
Are you eating the absolute worst food for your thyroid?
Whether you realize it or not, you most likely are.
In fact, 99% of people today, hypothyroid or not, are currently consuming this food (in one form or another) daily without realizing that they are sabotaging their own thyroid health.
Why?
For starters, it’s hidden in almost everything you […]
Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too?
Yes, you can use desserts as part of a very healthy thyroid diet.
In fact, with my clients, I highly encourage it.
The real problem is that desserts and sweets are very misunderstood today.
Foods like chocolate and fruit can be very therapeutic and help boost thyroid function […]
Have you heard about Vitamin B1 (thiamine) and its use in hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s?
If so, you’ve probably heard about how it can help improve energy and prevent fatigue.
Don’t get me wrong…
That’s a great benefit.
Who doesn’t want more energy?
But the truth is that increased energy is only one of the many benefits that thiamine has to […]
