Stop Treating Symptoms. Start Healing Hashimoto’s!

Most thyroid treatments focus only on TSH and T4 — but real healing begins when you support the immune system, balance nutrients, and calm inflammation at the root. In The Hashimoto’s Healing Blueprint, I share the exact steps that helped me move from exhaustion to steady energy and mental clarity — and to stop the progression of the autoimmune diseases I acquired while preventing new ones from developing.

Join me and learn how to finally understand your labs, nourish your body, and take back your health — one small step at a time.

I started fermenting my Homemade AIP pickles last weekend, and I opened one jar this weekend. These are amazingly good!
Last week I shared about the power of fermented vegetables and how fermentation supports gut health. There’s a growing body of research backing it up.
I also drink the pickle brine (juice) because it has electrolytes that help with cramps. Pickle juice is rich in sodium and some potassium, which many athletes use for cramp support. https://www.eatingwell.com/will-drinking-pickle-juice-help-with-muscle-cramps-11791736?
Speaking of sports, did you know a tennis player once drank pickle juice during a match to fight cramps? It’s been reported that Carlos Alcaraz was seen drinking pickle juice during his five-set match against Novak Djokovic.

Anyway, I’m loving these pickles (and the juice) so I was thinking that it might be of help to you too. https://aipwellnessjourney.com/homemade-aip-pickles/

I just cooked up AIP Chicken Mongolian Style and it was so good!
Tender chicken, mushrooms, and dandelion greens all simmered in a sweet-savory coconut aminos sauce over cauliflower rice.

What I love most about this dish is how easy it is to sneak in leafy greens. Dandelion greens not only add flavor but also support digestion and give a boost of vitamins A, C, and K.

This recipe is gut health friendly, gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and nightshades free — perfect for the autoimmune protocol.

Would you try it with dandelion greens, or swap in kale instead?

When I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, I was overwhelmed by conflicting advice. Some said supplements were a waste, others said they were essential. The truth is more complicated — supplements can help fill nutrient gaps, but they can also do harm if taken blindly.

In this blog, I share my own journey, the key vitamins and minerals that matter most, the risks of over-supplementing, and how to choose clean supplements without hidden additives.
