We've made our entire store loaded with healthy fats and void of those to avoid.
We got you ~

Even though fats are complicated, eating a fat-free diet is not good for your health. We need fats to survive.

Every cell is made of fat; our nerve coverings are made of fat; our brain is mostly fat; our hormones are made of fat; our cells and metabolism run better on fat. Fats help you absorb all of the beneficial fat-soluble vitamins in plant foods, and some fats have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.

Don’t fear fat; instead, eat the right fats with every meal. Fat won’t make you fat, unless you eat it with starch and sugar like most Americans.

Eat 3 to 5 servings of fat per day, and eat fats mostly with vegetables.

Unless it is trans fat, it won’t cause heart disease.

My favorite fats are avocados, olives, nuts and seeds, and traditional oils like extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil. Small amounts of butter, grass-fed ghee, and coconut or MCT oil are fine for most.

If you’re eating a high-fat diet and are curious about how it’s affecting your body, I recommend looking into the NMR particle-size cholesterol test.

Chronic stress, leaky gut, emotional trauma, nutrient deficiencies, and toxic load are all underlying triggers for thyroid dysfunction. This is why so many people with Hashimoto’s or hypothyroidism never feel better on medication alone.

If you’re supporting your thyroid naturally, here are the key areas to nourish:

1. Chronic Stress: High cortisol suppresses TSH, blocks T4 to T3 conversion, and raises inflammation. Support with magnesium glycinate before bed, ashwagandha, morning sunlight, daily walks, and breathwork.

2. Leaky Gut: Most adults with hypothyroidism also have gut issues. Remove inflammatory foods (gluten, seed oils, refined sugar) and add bone broth, fermented foods (sauerkraut, kefir), and calming herbal teas (ginger, peppermint, marshmallow root).

3. Emotional Trauma / Nervous System: The thyroid is sensitive to stored stress. Journaling, prayer, and nervous system regulation often create breakthroughs medication can’t.

4. Nutrient Deficiencies: The thyroid needs selenium, zinc, iodine, iron, and B vitamins to produce and convert hormones. Support with wild-caught fish, Brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds, chia, cooked vegetables, and sweet potato.

5. Toxic Load: Fluoride, mercury, BPA, PFAS, and pesticides disrupt hormone transport and conversion. Reduce exposure by swapping plastics for glass, filtering water, and choosing non-toxic skincare and deodorant.

Root-cause healing means nourishing the body, calming the nervous system, and removing the triggers that keep the thyroid from doing what it was created to do.

Wim Hof breathing offers incredible benefits such as stress reduction, increased energy, better focus, stronger immunity, and improved mood by regulating the nervous system through deep, rapid breaths followed by breath holds, leading to temporary shifts in oxygen/CO2 levels that can enhance mental resilience and physical performance.
