Hello dear friends. I hope you’re doing well.
Today I want to share with you how I helped my thyroid function better.
After I gave birth to Dragoș, I was told that I had thyroid issues.
I didn’t do anything about it at the time because I was focused on my role as a new mom. I wasn’t sleeping much—at first I thought it was because of the baby, but later he started sleeping well and I still couldn’t. At a check-up in Romania I was told my thyroid was underactive, but I wasn’t given any treatment.
My symptoms were: low energy, insomnia, and sugar cravings.
In England they told me they didn’t know why I couldn’t sleep, and I wasn’t happy with any of the solutions I was offered.
So I decided to take matters into my own hands and help myself: I balanced my thyroid hormones by including all categories of nutrients in my diet.
In other words, besides what I was already eating, I added beneficial foods such as quinoa, spirulina, and different seeds.
I reduced sugar—it took me about 3 years, but now I don’t feel the need for it anymore because there are so many better options. I also reduced gluten, since it inflames the thyroid, and some dairy, because it disrupts the body’s natural hormonal balance. I still eat these sometimes, but more rarely.
I remember I used to sweat very little, I was always cold, and I couldn’t sleep. Today, I can see an amazing transformation and those symptoms are part of the past: I sweat normally now because I go to the gym and stimulate blood and lymph circulation in my head area, I have stable energy throughout the day, so I don’t feel the need for coffee or naps, and I sleep well at night.
If you find yourself in my story or you have a question, write to me in the comments and I’ll be happy to share more.
