Did you know that opting for a gluten free diet can boost your thyroid function and overall well-being?

The best way to find out whether or not you'll benefit from a diet free of any common antigen (like gluten) is to try an elimination diet.

This process involves removing potential food triggers and then carefully reintroducing them into your diet to determine whether they're to blame for your reactions.

At the end of the day, understanding how your body responds to different foods is key to optimizing your health. Whether it's gluten or other potential triggers, an elimination diet empowers you to make informed choices that support your thyroid and overall wellness journey.

🎆 Happy 4th of July, everyone! 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate the birth of our great nation and the freedoms we cherish. Let's take a moment to thank our incredible military members for their service and sacrifice. Their dedication ensures that we can enjoy days like today with friends and loved ones.

And what's a 4th of July celebration without some delicious apple pie? 🍏🥧

Check out this amazing gluten-free apple pie recipe from below.

Ingredients 👇

Crust:
2 1/2 cups gluten-free flour blend
1 tsp xanthan gum (if your flour blend doesn't contain
it)
1 tsp salt
1 cup cold butter, cubed
1/2 cup ice water

Filling:
6 cups thinly sliced apples (Granny Smith or your favorite variety)
3/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp gluten-free flour blend
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare the Crust:
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if using), and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling:
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, gluten-free flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
Set aside.

Assemble the Pie:
Roll out one disc of dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie plate.
Transfer the dough to the pie plate and trim the edges.
Fill the crust with the apple mixture.
Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.

Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Bake the Pie:
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden
brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let the pie cool on a wire rack before serving.

Enjoy the festivities, stay safe, and have a wonderful Independence Day! 🇺🇸

With Love,

The Team At ThyroSisters

For many, menopause feels like a harsh betrayal by their bodies.

Somehow, over the last few years, your body has gone from being your best friend to being in prison.

Many women who come to me have already sought help from numerous doctors and health professionals. Despite their efforts, their blood tests usually come back "normal," and they’re often told their symptoms are simply part of aging.

Does this experience sound familiar? 🤔

If you're not feeling like your usual self, it's a sign that something inside your body isn't as it should be, and it deserves attention.

You deserve to have your concerns taken seriously.

Getting back to the best-version-of-yourself starts with taking action today.

Schedule a no-obligation clarity call with me today so we can talk about your unique needs and health goals!

Managing thyroid problems can be challenging, but knowing the do's and don'ts can make a huge difference!

✅ Do's:
✅ Eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants.
✅ Stay hydrated with plenty of water. 🚰
✅ Get regular exercise to boost metabolism. 🤾‍♀️
✅ Take your medication as prescribed.
✅ Manage stress through yoga or meditation.
✅ Try to aim for at least 8 hours of sleep every night.
✅ Get comprehensive function-health testing and stop guessing.
✅ Learn if you are gluten-sensitive. Studies show gluten (wheat, rye, oats, barley) are inflammatory. Also, gluten can mimic your thyroid and s*x hormones, which contribute to weight gain and hormone imbalances.

❌ Don'ts:
❌Ignore your gut.
❌ Ignore your gut.. 🚬
❌ Ignore symptoms or delay check-ups.
❌ Self-medicate or adjust your dosage without consulting a doctor.
❌ Let your cortisol levels spike.

Amanda was like so many of my clients when she scheduled a consultation with me. "I'm tired, fat, losing my hair, and I've got zero s*x drive," she told me. "And did I mention tired?"

I already suspected that Amanda, like an estimated 20 million other Americans (according to the American Thyroid Association), had a thyroid condition. When I got her blood tests back, I found that my hunch was right. Her blood was filled with antibodies – the calling card of Hashimoto’s Disease, the most common form of hypothyroidism.

When I sat Amanda down, I explained the situation. “Your immune system is attacking and destroying your thyroid.” I braced myself and let the other shoe drop. “You can’t cure an autoimmune condition. All you can do is manage it. That means no gluten – no wheat, barley, or rye.”

I could almost see all the future pasta, brownies, and cookies she would never get to eat again flashing before Amanda’s eyes. Over the last 20 years I’d had to deliver the same news to hundreds of women with Hashimoto’s at my clinic. In 2007 it was my face with the look of horror on it as I read my own yearly blood panel and found out that I – a thyroid disorder expert – had Hashimoto’s. Oh, the irony!

“What will I eat?” Amanda finally asked.

Feeling off balance? Your body's harmony depends on the intricate dance of hormones like testosterone, estrogen, adrenaline, insulin, and thyroid hormones. A tiny imbalance can disrupt your well-being in big ways.

But why do our hormones go haywire? It's often due to underlying issues in our bodies. Tackling these can restore balance naturally, minus the side effects.

Here's the secret to keeping hormones happy: It's all about lifestyle. Your daily habits, mindset, and diet play a huge role in hormonal harmony. Ready to tune into your body's natural rhythm? Let's embrace a holistic approach to hormone balance.

I wanted to find a way to get this incredibly transformational information out to as many women as possible.

https://www.thyrosisters.com/thyroid-mvp-program/

Why? Because I want to live in a world of braver, more caring, capable, high-integrity, people. People that take responsibility for finding the barriers and obstacles in their life, and their families lives, but also develop the courage to show up and keep showing up for each other. (Regardless of growing cynicism and fear in our world.) That, my friend, takes gumption, conviction, and commitment. We have to be healthy and strong to care enough to govern ourselves.

Why? Because, selfishly, I want to be better, to live BIG (even with hypothyroid and Hashimoto’s). To be a Hashi kid myself, and do that, I had to walk the talk, and implement the knowledge of the past two decades of clinical practice, study, design, re-design, fall down, be brave, listen, observe, and streamline hypothyroid and related symptoms of Hashimoto’s into a tangible, practical, and teachable program to be used as a catalyst for change in your life.

After many humbling lessons, and careful consideration, that is why I created the ThyroSisters Freedom menu of programs. Programs that are straight-forward, no bologna sandwich, actionable plans (from functional health lab work) that are practical and sustainable regardless of your age, surgeries, gender, or where you live in the US.

Our ThyroSisters M.V.P. Measurable. Verifiable. Progress. Program™ is unique to our other ThyroSisters Freedom™ programs in that it includes personal one-on-one consultations with me. As you are changing through the program, I am changing the protocols and diet so that, by the end of your plan, we have negotiated the “land mines” of change together to achieve your health goals.

Start feeling like the best- version-of-you…especially if you are doing everything “right,” taking your thyroid medication… and not seeing progress or results. At ThyroSisters™, we empower you to take control of your hypothyroid and hormone journey by providing you with science-based programs that get to the root cause of your sleepless nights, hair falling out, feeling dog tired, and not fitting into your skinny jeans. Our programs are meticulously designed based on your lab results, no cookie cutters. (Have your labs performed at a national lab from most cities in the US.)

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, will my eyebrows ever return?" Imagine if Snow White had to worry about thyroid issues alongside her other troubles. Sounds far-fetched? Maybe not. Eyebrow hair loss isn't just about vanity; it's often a sign of deeper health issues, including thyroid imbalances, hormonal shifts, and more.

Eyebrow thinning might be more common than you think, with an estimated 21 million US women experiencing some form of hair loss. So, before you sing along to "You're So Vain," let's dive into the root causes of those disappearing brows and how to encourage their comeback.

Struggling with eyebrow hair loss? It could be a sign of deeper health issues, like thyroid imbalances or hormonal shifts. An underactive thyroid often leads to thinning brows, especially if your medication, such as Levothyroxine, lists hair loss as a side effect. Consider switching to natural desiccated thyroid medication, which includes both T3 and T4 hormones, to help with hair growth.

Factors like stress, poor gut health, and nutrient deficiencies also play a role. Addressing these can help reverse eyebrow loss. Ensure you're getting enough vitamin A, zinc, and B vitamins, including biotin. Also, look into your liver and gut health, as they're crucial for hormone conversion and absorption. Making these changes can support not just your eyebrows but your overall health.
