Nutritionist Shikha

11/06/2025

I changed my food before I conceived. Not just because I was a nutritionist—but because I had to get intentional about my hormones.
This post covers the exact foods I ate to balance my fertility hormones naturally. These weren’t just “healthy” foods. They were functional. Focused.
Rooted in science and results.
If you’re trying to conceive or want to optimise your fertility, let food be your starting point too.

“When I first moved to the US, I couldn’t help but miss my motherland. The comfort of home, family, and familiar surroundings. But over time, I’ve come to love the freedom and respect I’ve found here. The kindness, the warmth, the constant greetings and smiles — it’s all so welcoming. What I truly value is the space people give you. No one judges you for where you come from or how you choose to raise your children.
In India, there’s always someone with an opinion, always someone telling you what you ‘should’ be doing, especially as a mother. From how to feed your baby to how to dress them, the judgments are endless. But here, in the US, I’m respected for my choices and given the liberty to parent the way that feels best for me and my family. It’s a breath of fresh air! 🌸

She came to me exhausted, demotivated, and stuck in a cycle of diets and symptoms that just wouldn’t budge.

Despite medication, her thyroid wasn’t improving. Her periods were missing, hair thinning, and sugar cravings were out of control.

But once we looked deeper—beyond TSH—we uncovered Hashimoto’s, insulin resistance, and major nutrient deficiencies.
Through personalized nutrition, stress support, and targeted healing, her TSH dropped from 32.5 to 5.97 in 9 months — and her energy, sleep, mood, and cycle all began to come back online.

If you’re tired of surface-level fixes and want real, root-cause healing, drop CONSULT in the comments — I’ll DM you the details for my 1:1 support.

No one warned me about the quiet grief that comes with becoming a mother.

Not grief in the sad, hopeless way.

But the kind where you look in the mirror and whisper,

“Where did she go?”

The version of me who had slow mornings, solo coffee runs, spontaneous plans…
The version who didn’t carry a mental checklist 24/7.

The one who didn’t feel guilty for wanting 30 minutes alone.

Motherhood gave me new purpose — yes.

But it also made me mourn pieces of the woman I used to be.

And here’s what I’ve learned…
🌱 You can love your child fiercely and still miss your old life.
🌱 You can honor who you were and who you’re becoming.
🌱 You’re allowed to hold both — the grief and the gratitude — without shame.

This kind of honesty doesn’t make you a bad mother.

It makes you a human one.

And that, my friend, is more than enough.

💛 If you’ve ever felt this too, just know:
She’s not gone — she’s evolving.

“The Part of My Postpartum Recovery No One Prepared Me For…”

The part of postpartum recovery no one really talks about?

It’s not just diapers and sleepless nights.
It’s looking in the mirror and not recognizing yourself.

It’s dealing with gestational diabetes, a C-section scar, excessive hair fall, and a body that doesn’t feel like yours anymore.

I had diastasis recti, a weak core, and a tired body that had just created life.

But I also had a fire in me — to heal, slowly and surely.

I didn’t bounce back overnight.

I worked out daily — not to punish my body, but to reconnect with it.
I supported myself with protein powder, collagen, prenatal vitamins, and the foods I knew my hormones would love:
🥑 Avocado
🥚 Eggs & chicken
🧈 Ghee, olive oil, flaxseed oil
🥦 And lots of vegetables

It’s taken time, intention, and patience.
🌿 I’ve lost all my pregnancy weight.
🌿 My hair fall has reduced, and I’m still waiting for that full regrowth.
🌿 My core still needs work, but I’m stronger every single week.
Postpartum recovery isn’t linear.
But it is possible.
And you don’t have to do it alone.
To every mama feeling like she’s starting from scratch —
Please know: your body is not broken.
It’s just healing, and it deserves your love.

Do you know why these nutrients are important for supporting your Thyroid health?

Selenium: The thyroid tissues store most of the Selenium & it is crucial nutrient needed to convert the active thyroid hormone (T3) from T4 (inactive form). It also acts as an antioxidant & can help in preventing your thyroid gland from oxidative damage.

Iodine: It helps in making Thyroid hormones (T4 & T3), if one doesn’t have enough Iodine then the body can’t make thyroid hormones.

Iron: It’s an important nutrient for thyroid health as it’s required in the conversion of T4 (inactive form) to T3 (active form). Iron deficiency anemia is commonly seen in people with Hypothyroidism.

Apart from these nutrients like Zinc, Magnesium, L- Tyrosine, Vitamin A, etc are also needed for optimal thyroid functioning.
