It’s Limerick Day, and Edward Lear’s birthday 🎩🕺🏼

Here are some ladies that could easily have been clients of mine when I first spoke to them.

Feeling like they’ve lost themselves a bit.

Hypothyroidism can do that.

Being constantly depleted, and feeling stuck this way.

But there can be a way forward, if you’re ready to get committed.

My tired, downhearted and frustrated clients soon start to feel better once they are given the roadmap and put the effort in to follow it.

The energy starts to appear, the mood lifts, they feel more in control.

Comment ‘limerick’ below if you want to find out more and if the same could happen for you.

5 ways you can double up and help your thyroid health and the planet

💦 Always carry water in a reusable bottle. We need water to make energy and we don’t want to keep buying plastic bottles 🫠

🌱 Most of us are not eating enough plants. They are incredibly nutritious and so beneficial for our gut microbiome which has influence on our immunity, our brain, our happiness and so much more.

🌳 We live in a beautiful oxygen-rich world. Walking in nature has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety and increase feelings of well being

🚜 Mass farming has depleted the soil of nutrients and used pesticides intensively that are not only toxic to us (including having the ability to destabilise thyroid hormone) but to the environment

🧴Chemicals in cleaning and cosmetic products have endocrine disrupting chemicals and risk damage to the oceans and the soil

Are you fed up?

Fed up of feeling stuck with low energy?
Fed up of craving time on the sofa or in your bed?
Fed up of not living the life you want to (and deserve to) live?

Let’s get you more energy 🤩

With targeted changes to the way you eat and the way you live, it’s completely possible.

Once you enable your body to make and use thyroid hormone as it needs to, it can start working better.

And you’ll feel the difference.

This is what many hypothyroid ladies like you have done on my programme.

Right now, I have space to take on 3 more who are determined turnaround their current situation and find their best selves again in the next few months.

But this is only for you if you:

➡️ Are ready for change
➡️ Are prepared to commit invest in yourself
➡️ Want to get going asap and hit the ground running 🏃‍♀️

If you want to be one of the 3, comment ‘IN’ and I’ll DM you with more info and next steps to ensure you’re a good fit.

Number 4 is the hypothyroidie’s nemesis!

1. Thyroid specific multi-vitamin complexes:
There are so many of these but rarely are they a perfect fit for an individual and most, if not all of them contain iodine which we need to be careful with in Hashimoto’s.

2. Telling my GP I have Hashimoto’s:
She said ‘why do you care?’. It made no difference to her treatment or advice.

3. Going to an endocrinologist:
I was grateful to be under the care of an endocrinologist for my pregnancies but my treatment didn’t change at any point when I saw a specialist.

4. Pushing through my tiredness:
So many of us with hypothyroidism do this. It’s usually a case of having to - we have jobs, busy lives, things we want to do, but it is likely to exacerbate the problem and do the opposite to supporting your thyroid.

5. Increasing my levothyroxine when it didn’t need increasing:
This made zero difference to the way I felt even though the numbers changed a bit.

6. Drinking alcohol:
Over several years I learnt that drinking alcohol would make me more tired and more cold. It became obvious that it affected my thyroid hormone metabolism. I do still drink, but in far smaller amounts, and alongside adequate food, hydration and alcohol-depleting nutrients.

Wish I’d been given a heads up about these sooner 🫠

The snake represents the death of all that does not serve you.

It’s time to renew and transform into something new.

The snake is also said to bring wisdom and healing.

We really can bring back the much maligned phrase ‘new year, new you’ with this one.

Are you holding back on becoming a new you?

Change can be scary. Humans are designed to resist it because there may be risk attached. But with change comes the good stuff, and really, staying stationary is the bigger risk here.

Lower energy, gaining weight, increased medication..

If you’re ready to take on the snake vibes and head towards a transformation from the struggling, frustrated and tired you to an energised, enthusiastic and content one, comment with a Chinese zodiac animal and I’ll reach out to you 🐅🐎🐓🐀🐖🐕🐄🐇🐉🐒🐐🐍

Happy Chinese New Year 🐍 🐍 🐍

Sugar tempting you? It’s hard to get out of sugar cravings when you’ve been eating more than you usually do which often happens over the festive season. You can end up on a sugar rollercoaster 🎢 where you have something sweet, your blood sugar spikes, then it plummets and you crave more energy and, MORE SUGAR. Then you’re off again.

Sugar can be a problem for everyone, but it can exacerbate things when you’re hypothyroid…

🍬Energy slumps
🍬Low mood
🍬Leaky gut
🍬IBS and SIBO
🍬Inflammation
🍬Liver congestion
🍬Blood sugar imbalance
🍬Increased risk of diabetes

It’s also ageing 😱

It’s very hard to resist though, I mean look 👀 👉 🧁🍩🍫🍭
(plus we are programmed to seek out sweet things for energy)

But with support and some cunning strategies, it’s possible to take back control 💪

And you could feel the benefits that you see above from the previous sugar challenges - fewer cravings and pangs, fewer headaches, better moods, more energy…

Join me from Monday 27th January for 5 days of quitting sugar
All you need to do is join my Facebook group Get more energy | Thyroid support for tired women before Monday.

DON’T BELIEVE THESE GHOULISH MESSENGERS 👻

1. Just because it appears your medication is keeping your T4 and TSH levels in the normal range, you are NOT FINE if you’re still getting symptoms and more needs to be done (this also goes for those who’ve been turned away from the doctors completely as not having a thyroid condition in spite of them having myriad symptoms)

2. In the UK, us hypothyroidies get free prescriptions for life. This is partly because we are more likely to get further illnesses. BUT THIS DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THE CASE. Working with food and lifestyle, you can get your body functioning again and even get into remission

3. Tweaks to how you eat, what you eat and how you live WILL make your thyroid symptoms subside, get you your energy back and make you feel like you’re healthy again. I’m living proof of this and my clients are too

Do you want to find out what we did and if you can too?

I’m on thyroid medication so why do I still feel rubbish?

When I was first given levothyroxine and told I had to take it forever, I was a bit sad and scared that I had to be on medication for life, but I was mostly relieved.

I thought it would be an end to feeling exhausted most of the time. I thought my body would start feeling like it worked like everyone else's seemed to. I was actually excited about that part.

But this isn't what happened. It didn't seem to make much of a difference. After a while, and after return visits to the doctor, I felt crushing disappointment. Is this it? I thought.

So many people I speak to have had a similar experience. And for good reason, they are questioning the point of thyroid medication.

They probably know that it's replacement for the thyroid hormone they aren't making (or that their body cells aren't getting), for whatever reason. So it would make sense, that if you're taking more, that your symptoms would all get better; more energy, better mood, feeling warmer, no more dry skin...
But unfortunately, the situation is often more complicated than just popping a pill every day for the rest of your life.

And the 'whatever reason' I mentioned, can actually be crucial.

I'm doing a free workshop next week about this that will explain what could be behind your persistent symptoms and how making some simple changes could help your body function better, your thyroid hormone do what it needs to, and your symptoms could diminish so you can get on with your life with all the energy you need.

Here are the details:

Were you relieved when you were prescribed thyroid medication because you thought it would be the end of feeling tired, cold and low? And the end of all your other niggling symptoms?

Hypothyroidism can leave you feeling exhausted and miserable, and not knowing where to turn. My client Louise had classic symptoms of low energy, low mood and muscle aches. But she joined the programme and put in the effort to make the changes I felt would make the difference for her.

As you can see from her testimonial, she now feels good again, and is confident she has the tools to manage her hypothyroidism.

If you’re in a similar position and would like to find out whether the programme could be right for you, comment with a favourite emoji and I’ll reach out to you 😊
