I recorded something special this week and I want you in on it!

I joined 21 experts for the Hashimoto’s Summit to talk about what actually helps women connect the pieces of their thyroid health in a way that brings clarity and feels doable.

New sessions are going live every day this week, so you can start learning right away.

Today alone they’re covering things I know come up all the time:

• How to exercise with Hashimoto’s in a way that supports your body
• How to read labs that are called “normal” but don’t reflect how you feel
• And how your nervous system plays a bigger role than most people realize

This is the kind of information that helps things finally start to click.

My interview goes live Friday, and I’m sharing a new approach to Hashimoto's that nobody is talking about:

The liver and bile flow piece that quietly impacts everything and why so many women stay stuck without ever seeing it.

It’s simple, practical, and will change how you move forward.

Today is my husband’s 47th birthday, and the first one we are celebrating on opposite sides of heaven.

It feels fitting that our first birthday apart falls on Good Friday.

My son and I were recently reading an Easter message about how Jesus Christ saved us from sin, pain, and death.

“Mom, that’s not true!” he blurted out. “Jesus didn’t save us from death!”

I immediately started preparing the response I thought I should give. I was ready to correct him and teach what we had already talked about so many times.

But instead, I paused, said a quick prayer, and asked him what he meant.

“Jesus didn’t save us from death or Dad wouldn’t have died. Everyone dies. Jesus didn’t fix that. He saved Dad from being stuck in his grave forever.”

My sweet nine-year-old was right.

I understood what the message meant, but he showed me that the wording really matters.

We can move through life expecting Jesus to protect us from sin, take away pain, loss, and death.

But we live in a fallen world, and those things will come for all of us.

And when they do, it can feel like we’ve been forgotten or that our faith is weak.

But in his nine short years, my son has seen the hardest parts of life and watched his dad keep his eyes on Jesus through all of it.

Willie showed him where to look when things are broken. Not because everything will be fixed right now, but because nothing is lost forever.

Jesus promises it will be returned, replaced, and renewed.

Including his dad.

It is a privilege to raise Willie’s son. He carries his dad’s strong moral compass, and it shows up with his same loud passion for truth.

There is so much to celebrate about my husband today, alongside the hope this Easter weekend brings.

Because Jesus died and rose again, Willie will too.

Death may separate us for a moment, but the grave will never win.💗

There is so much focus on removing foods when it comes to Hashimoto’s.

Women are told to cut out:
Gluten, dairy, sugar, eggs, soy, etc.

And while that can be temporarily helpful, most women end up removing more and more while still feeling stuck.

Because the issue is not always what you are putting in.
It’s what your body is able to digest, absorb, process and move out.

Your liver relies on nutrients to break things down, and bile is what carries those breakdown products out of your body. If that flow is sluggish, things stay circulating longer than they should.

That can trigger the immune system to produce antibodies in response to these recycling hormones, toxins, and waste products that aren't leaving the body.

This is why supporting live and bile flow often changes more than removing another food ever will.

Many of the diets women get backed into are high in healthy foods that can increase the rate that the liver detoxes. This helps to reveal a backed up bile system. If the healthy foods you are eating are pushing toxins out faster than bile can move them into the gut, then even the healthiest foods can become a burden. (This is especially true for women who have lost their gallbladder.)

That's why I have all of my clients start with testing to pinpoint the phase their liver is stuck at so we don't have to guess at what food to remove next.

When the gut and liver work together, food intolerances disappear.

Many women are told high thyroid antibodies mean their thyroid is getting worse.

They are told their body is attacking itself and given no options to halt the warfare.

So they focus on trying to lower the antibodies directly with diets, supplements, and cutting more foods out.

I did the same thing for years.

What I didn’t understand is antibodies are not the problem.

They are the message your immune system is sending when your body is overwhelmed by something it can’t process and clear efficiently.

Your liver and bile are responsible for breaking down and carrying hormones and toxins out, and when that step slows down, things start to build up and your immune system stays activated.

This is why women feel like they are doing everything right and still not seeing progress.

When we support that clearance step, the body finally has a way to move forward.

I said yes to something fun this month.

I haven’t done a podcast interview since my husband’s health took a turn last year, but this felt like the right one to come back for.

I joined the Thriving with Hashimoto’s Summit happening April 6–12, and I shared the hormone shortcuts that I wish I had understood years ago when I was trying to fix my Hashimoto's.

It's not about restrictive diets or adding more supplements, but how your metabolism is working to process and clear hormones and why that changes everything.

If you’ve been doing all the right things and still not feeling like yourself, this will help you see your body in a completely different way.

There are 21 expert speakers, different perspectives, and some really thoughtful trainings included. I’m also super excited to share a new antibody class inside the summit.

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s at eight years old and spent decades trying to “speed up” my metabolism while my weight, medication dose, and antibodies kept climbing.

I fully believed what I had heard about hypothyroidism causing a "slow metabolism" and fell for the marketing promises of products that claimed to increase it.

That thinking kept me stuck (and broke $) for decades!

What we’re really talking about when we say metabolism is how your body makes and uses energy and how it processes and clears what’s left over.

And when the clearance part slows down, everything backs up.

Thyroid problems get labeled as “slow metabolism,” but it’s not because the thyroid is to blame.

It’s because the systems that are supposed to process and clear hormones and toxins (especially the liver) aren’t keeping up.

So the body slows things down on purpose.

Everything changed for me when I found a urine test that “measures metabolism.”

It shows us exactly where metabolism is getting stuck, what your body is struggling to clear, and why your system keeps sending out messages through antibodies.

When we fix those issues, women can stop living on 1200 calories per day, spending hours at the gym with no progress, chasing metabolism hacks, and start supporting the steps the body has been asking for all along.

For 28 years I battled daily Hashimoto's symptoms. I did all the right things, ate the right foods, took all the supplements, saw the functional doctors, and spent so much money searching for answers.

I was tested for SIBO, Candida, H. pylori, mold, gut pathogens, and every time I got results, I was given another protocol.

All of these pieces were helpful, but never provided a clear direction or lasting results. It felt like a never ending game of whac-a-mole where we were constantly hitting one problem only to find another.

Because everyone was trying to fix my metabolism, but they weren't using the best test to see how my body was actually processing and clearing thyroid hormones.

Everything shifted when I trained in urine testing.

For the first time, I could see the steps of metabolism that were blocked for me. I saw that I wasn't breaking down and clearing thyroid hormones so the meds I was taking were just recirculating and causing resistance.

That's when I began digging deeper into the research and learned that thyroid hormones have a full pathway.

They’re produced (or taken as meds), converted, used by the cells, then broken down by the liver and cleared out of the body through bile, urine, and stool.

If that last step isn’t working well, things don’t flow the way they should.

And when we look at urine, we’re seeing the byproducts of that breakdown process. That’s how we assess how well those liver pathways are actually working.

And that’s where my answers were.

For the first time, I didn't have to do more, eat less, or chase another protocol. I reduced my supplements to 3 key liver supports that my test identified and my thyroid (and metabolism) began working like it was designed to.

Soon my antibodies dropped to zero and I was eventually able to wean from the thyroid meds I relied on for 28 years.

What makes my approach different is I'm not looking to fix a symptom, I want to see what's blocking the metabolic pathways and those answers hide in urine.

Most women think inflammation means swollen joints, body aches, or feeling sore after a long day.

But the kind of inflammation I see driving weight gain in women with Hashimoto’s and Graves’ is much quieter than that.

It is happening in the gut and immune system and it shows up as elevated antibodies long before it shows up as stubborn weight.

When the gut is inflamed, the immune system stays activated, and that changes how your body uses thyroid hormone and burns fat.

On top of that, your liver and bile are responsible for calming the gut (and therefore the immune system), converting hormones, and clearing them out when they are used by the cells.

If that system slows down, those hormones recirculate and create even more imbalance, which can make weight feel stuck no matter how little or how clean you eat.

This is why eating less and moving more often stops working for women in postpartum, perimenopause, or menopause with elevated antibodies AND swinging hormones that bog down the liver and bile flow.

And here’s the kicker:

When you start cutting more and more foods, it slows down bile flow, which your body needs to keep things moving out.

Less flow means more buildup, more immune activation, and more frustrating weight gain. (This is extra loud for women who have lost their gallbladder!)

The most helpful step is not cutting calories or spending hours in the gym.

It’s understanding what is actually triggering the inflammation in your body so you can work with it instead of against it.

If your social media feed looks anything like mine, then the algorithm may have dropped you into the autoimmune pit that makes it appear like healing is a full time job that involves very expensive measures.

Things like bulky red light panels, expensive IV infusions, hyperbaric chambers, hours in the gym doing exactly the right lifts, weighing and tracking every bite, hours of lymph/fascia stretches and running extensive lab panels that require custom supplements.

😥

And that was just what I saw in my scroll today!

While these things can be helpful, many women get backed into complicated healing schedules when they don't know why their antibodies are elevated in the first place and they are desperate for relief.

I'm sensitive to this because I was that woman. For decades I sought answers in the next pill, product, or tool to stop my immune system from attacking me.

I felt like a victim in my own skin until I learned that antibodies are immune messengers, not angry ninjas coming to destroy my thyroid gland.

That realization led me to ask what was causing my antibodies to be high in the first place and listen to what my immune system had been screaming to me all along.

When we can understand your personal triggers, we can cut out everything that isn't necessary for healing.

And for many of my clients, that means doing less and feeling better while their antibodies finally begin to retreat.

I have 5 openings available for women who are ready to do less, but better.

My husband loved holidays.

On the outside he could seem gruff, but inside, he was a fun-loving guy who celebrated all the little things.

St. Patrick’s Day was one of his favorites.

He loved helping our son build Leprechaun traps and watching the excitement of finding a surprise the next morning.

Last year, we celebrated in a hospital room.

Our son made a trap out of cups, barf bags, and whatever hospital supplies he could find and the next day, he was thrilled to discover $20 and a lego set inside.

I can still see the smile on Willie’s face as the two of them tried to figure out how a Leprechaun snuck into the hospital to leave it there.

We were in the eye of a storm that wasn’t letting up.

Willie had just come out of septic shock and an ICU stay. A few days later, he would be life-flighted to Stanford for emergency chemo that gave us six more months together.

We didn’t know what was coming, but we were doing it together.

We were three students in God’s private classroom.

And in that storm, our prayers began to change.

We stopped asking for the miracles we wanted most and started thanking God for His kindness to us.

The fact that we were together as a family felt like a miracle in itself. This was only made possible by self employment and homeschool that had been put in place years before it mattered.

God is good.

I’ll never forget a prayer Willie said during that time.

When we finally released from the hospital, we sat in our home, what Willie called his temple, and he simply prayed

“Father in heaven, we are humble…”

And then we cried.

That was the whole prayer.

We were humbled by trial, by surrender, by letting go of what we wanted most and trusting in God's plans.

To be humble is to be teachable and we became willing students.

Willie has been gone for 6 months now, and those words are written on my window as a daily reminder of his faith.

"We are humble."

They’ve become an anthem for our family as we continue to learn and grow together, on both sides of heaven.

And that feels like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow to me. 🌈✨

So many women with thyroid issues try creatine hoping it will be the golden ticket for energy.

And it makes sense since Creatine helps cells produce ATP, the energy currency your body runs on. When energy is low, it sounds like the perfect solution.

Yet I often see women start creatine and suddenly notice:
• weight gain
• increased hair shedding
• digestive changes
• stronger stool odor
• feeling more inflamed instead of energized

Most people assume creatine “didn’t work for them.”

But what if that reaction is actually revealing something important?

Creatine doesn’t just affect muscles and energy. It also interacts with liver metabolism, methylation, bile production, and gut microbes.

If the liver is already struggling to process hormones, toxins, and bile, adding more metabolic demand can expose that bottleneck.

In other words, the problem usually isn’t the creatine.
It’s that the systems responsible for processing hormones, bile, and microbial waste aren’t flowing well yet.

When those pathways are supported properly, many women can tolerate creatine just fine and actually benefit from it.

Or Creatine can reveal the exact place metabolism is getting stuck.

This is why thyroid healing isn’t about adding the newest “energy supplement.”

It’s about identifying the hidden systems that broke long before the thyroid started struggling.

If you’ve tried all the supplements and still feel like something important is being missed, you’re right!

I specialize in helping women fill in the gaps that other practitioners missed and make it all make sense. If you're ready to uncover your hormone bottlenecks and fix them with a personalized plan, click here I'll send you the next step: https://www.thyroidfasttrack.com/apply
