Most women with thyroid issues are never told that p**p holds the key to hormone balance.

💩 When you have a healthy bowel movement first thing in the morning, it’s a sign your liver, bile, adrenals, and thyroid are all working in sync.

The liver uses bile to clear out “used up” hormones like estrogen, stress hormones, and thyroid hormones. If bile and bowels are sluggish, those hormones can recycle back into your system, causing fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, and thyroid resistance.

This is why one of my first goals with my clients is simple but powerful:
👉 A good morning p**p within the first hour of waking.

It tells me your detox pathways are moving, your adrenals are responding properly, and your thyroid isn’t being blocked by yesterday’s hormone leftovers.

If your mornings aren’t moving this way yet, it's OK. I can help you get there!

Everyone talks about survival mode like it’s a bad thing.

They say you have to get yourself out of it ASAP and cut all the stress from your life.

I used to believe that too, until the stress moved into my husband’s body as leukemia. I couldn’t simply cut that out and walk away.

For 13 years we’ve lived through treatments, clinics, hospital stays, and countless medical professionals all telling me the same thing: you need to reduce your stress.

In the beginning, I tried their suggestions of deep breathing, meditation, little self-care routines, but the reality was that caregiving, homeschooling, mothering, and running a business didn’t leave time for hours of efforts to achieve a calm state.

One day I was driving and talking to God about the weight on my shoulders. I couldn't cut my husband, son, or business out of my life so I needed His strength to help me survive.

I heard a quiet question drop into my spirit "What’s so bad about survival mode?"

I responded with all of the reasons it's detrimental to health and relationships. Valid reasons that I have learned in years of university education and have research studies to back it up!

Then I felt His nudge again "and what’s the opposite of survival?"

I laughed when I realized that the opposite is death.

Survival mode wasn’t killing me. It was the very thing keeping us alive.

That realization changed everything for me. Survival mode isn’t weakness. It’s strength and acceptance of the season I am walking through.

This allowed me to spend less time focusing on outward actions to "reset my nervous system" or "calm my adrenals" and gave me space to welcome God in to help carry the burden. He hasn't taken disease away, but has made my burdens so light that I can't even feel them while I continue to survive.

Survival is not failing. It may just be the very thing carrying you through to the next chapter.

To all my sisters with survival mode currently turned on, I see you and I'm with you. 💗

I discovered I had acid reflux at the dentist.

I was 12 years into my Hashimoto's journey with a chronic post-nasal drip, sinus issues, and constant burping.

He pointed out yellow stains on my back molars and explained it was stomach acid climbing up at night while I slept and causing all those other issues.

Suddenly everything made sense!

Like so many women with thyroid issues, I had been told that reflux was from low stomach acid and had tried things like Betaine HCL and lemon juice to raise my acid levels with no improvement.

I eventually learned that estrogen and histamines can make the stomach overproduce acid. My real issue wasn’t too little, it was too much and my liver wasn’t clearing things the way it should.

Once I addressed my sluggish liver drainage, the reflux went away without medication.

Here’s the thing, many women are handed acid blockers like omeprazole or Protonix. And yes, they shut down acid fast, which feels like relief. But they also shut down what your body needs:

*Acid to break down food and absorb nutrients
*Acid to kill off pathogens that sneak in with meals
*Acid to help extract calcium from food (important, since thyroid meds already put women at higher risk for low calcium and weaker bones)

Research even shows higher risks of bone loss and fractures in people who take acid blockers long-term. Most doctors don't share that Omeprazole is approved for 14 day use up to 3 times per year. And yet, so many people end up taking it for a lifetime which leaves them open to bone loss, infection, and bloating.

So instead of asking, how to stop acid, the better question is: why is my stomach making too much in the first place?

That’s what changed everything for me. Once I supported my liver and hormone clearance, my reflux healed naturally.

If you’re struggling with yellow stained teeth, sinus issues, or gut symptoms alongside thyroid problems, it may not be what you think.

The Connection No One Told You About Birth Control & Your Thyroid!

My client had done everything right, took her thyroid meds, cleaned up her diet, cut out gluten and dairy, tried all the supplements, but she still felt exhausted, foggy, and stuck.

When we looked deeper, we discovered the missing piece, her liver was overloaded from years of birth control.

This is happening to women every day, but no one is telling us this:

Your liver is responsible for breaking down and clearing out:
✨ Female hormones (like estrogen and progesterone)
✨ Stress hormones (like cortisol)
✨ Thyroid hormones (T4 + T3 once they’re “used up”)

Birth control pills flood the liver with synthetic estrogens and progestins every day. Over time, this can “hog” the liver’s detox pathways, making it harder for your body to clear out old hormones including thyroid hormone.

That means instead of removing used thyroid hormone, your liver gets stuck recycling old ones.

This can drive up reverse T3 (the inactive form), which blocks your cells from using thyroid hormone properly.

So even if you’re taking medication, your cells act hypothyroid leading to fatigue, weight struggles, brain fog, constipation, hair changes.

In other words, the problem isn’t always how much thyroid hormone you make or take it’s whether your liver can actually clear it so fresh hormone can work.

When we focused on clearing the backup and opening her detox pathways, everything shifted, her energy returned, her metabolism kicked in, and she finally felt like herself again.

If your thyroid symptoms started or worsened after birth control, your liver may be the missing piece too. The good news is once we investigate this connection and pinpoint the problems, we can fix it!

Every day, I talk to women who believe that taking thyroid medication is the only way to fix their hormonal issues. And I don’t blame them, I believed the same thing for 28 years while battling Hashimoto’s.

When I was diagnosed at 8 years old, my doctor told me there was nothing I could do to reverse my disease. The only solution, he said, was to take a pill every day for the rest of my life.

So I did, but the symptoms never went away:

➡️ Constant weight gain
➡️ Digestive upset
➡️ Hair loss
➡️ Migraines

I tried every thyroid medication on the market. I did feel slightly better on desiccated hormones like Armour Thyroid, but I still didn’t feel like myself.

When I pursued my master’s degree in nutrition, I finally uncovered what was missing.

💡 The thyroid can only work as well as the liver allows it to.

Thyroid hormones must be activated by the liver before they can be used in the cells to stimulate metabolism. But nobody talks about where they go after that!

Used-up hormones need to return to the liver to be broken down and cleared from the body. If this step isn’t happening, they recirculate, causing reverse T3 levels to rise and cells to become resistant to thyroid hormones.

⚠️ This is a problem for women taking thyroid meds after their gland is removed *and* women who still have their thyroid.

That’s why my approach is different. Instead of chasing symptoms or tweaking medication, I help women investigate what’s really going on in the gut and liver so their thyroid hormones can actually work.

No Gallbladder? Here’s What That Means for Your Thyroid:

Your gallbladder wasn’t just there to help digest food, it played a critical role in clearing out used thyroid hormones.

It plays a HUGE role in hormone regulation that nobody tells us about. You see, thyroid hormones don’t just disappear after they’re used, they need to EXIT. Bile is the exit route. It helps remove old hormones, toxins, and excess estrogen.

No gallbladder = sluggish bile flow.

Instead of leaving your body, hormones get recycled, leading to:
❌ Hormone resistance (your cells stop responding to thyroid meds properly)
❌ High reverse T3 (making you feel sluggish, even with “normal” labs)
❌ Slow metabolism, fatigue, brain fog, and weight struggles

How to Support Thyroid Detox Without a Gallbladder:
✔ Ox bile – Replaces missing bile to improve digestion & hormone clearance
✔ Taurine – Helps produce & thin bile for better flow
✔ Dandelion root & bitters – Stimulates bile production naturally
✔ Fiber & hydration – Helps move toxins OUT instead of recycling them

🚨 If you’ve lost your gallbladder and STILL struggle with thyroid symptoms despite taking meds, your detox pathways might be the missing piece.

When my thyroid was sluggish, I started noticing yellow spots around my eyes that looked like tiny pimples. They didn’t hurt, but they sure weren’t pretty.

The dermatologist told me they were harmless deposits of cholesterol under my skin and there was nothing that needed to be done.

But as a nutritionist with a master’s degree, I knew cholesterol didn’t belong there, so I took a deep dive to figure out why mine was misbehaving.

Here’s what I discovered:

👉 The liver is supposed to break down and clear out hormones: stress hormones, female hormones, and thyroid hormones.
👉 That process wasn’t working well for me, which allowed my thyroid hormones to recirculate.
👉 Recirculating hormones were driving up my reverse T3 and making my cells resistant to thyroid medication.
👉 Since thyroid hormones are also responsible for clearing cholesterol from the blood and liver, with this system down, cholesterol was pushed out through my skin instead.

Once I focused on liver drainage pathways and helped my body actually clear out used-up hormones, my thyroid and cholesterol started behaving again and those spots disappeared. 🙌

Did you know that thyroid nodules can be a sign of estrogen not clearing through sluggish liver pathways?

Here’s why 👇

Your liver processes every drop of blood in the body and is responsible for breaking down and removing:

*Thyroid hormones
*Cortisol (your stress hormone)
*Neurotransmitters (like serotonin & dopamine)
*Female hormones (estrogen & progesterone)

The same pathways that clear out estrogen also clear out thyroid hormones.

When those pathways get congested, hormones can’t move out properly. Instead, they recycle and some forms of estrogen, when not cleared well, can bind to receptors that stimulate tissue growth.

That’s why some women notice thyroid swelling or nodules that seem to flare with their cycle, postpartum, or perimenopause. The nodules often correlate with hormone shifts, but the problem originates in the liver’s ability to clear them.

👉 Instead of shoving in more hormones, the real solution is fixing the root cause: supporting the liver and bowels so hormones move through instead of backing up.

This is where specialized testing + a personalized protocol make all the difference.

I’m a firm believer in miracles.

In the 13 years my husband has been living with aggressive leukemia, we’ve witnessed more than our fair share, yet he is still here by the grace of God and miracles beyond our understanding.

Over time, my prayers have changed. I used to beg God for specific miracles, certain outcomes I thought were best. But He has shown me that His blessings are far beyond anything I could imagine asking for.

Earlier this year, we prayed for insurance approval for an immune therapy drug we thought was his only chance. The company denied it. We were devastated, but our faith didn’t waver. Weeks later, our Stanford team discovered a mutation in his cancer, and a brand-new drug had just been approved nationwide for that exact mutation. The approval was announced the day before.

You can’t make this stuff up. 🙏

That moment reminded me that I don’t have a single brain cell smart enough to know the exact miracle I need. Now I just shout my gratitude to God and trust that what He provides is exactly the miracle we need.

This truth has been on my heart as I’ve sat with John 6, where Jesus feeds the 5,000.

Verse 2 tells us that crowd came because they had seen Jesus heal the diseased and were probably hoping for a similar miracle for themselves or something they loved. Instead, Jesus multiplied simple loaves and fishes. Everyone ate until they were full, and there was more left over than they started with.

I wonder how many walked away disappointed because they didn’t see the miracle they thought they came for.

They wanted healing. They got fish and bread.

And yet, that fish and bread was a miracle, one of the biggest Jesus ever performed for a crowd.

This week I’ve been reflecting on the “fish and bread” He’s given my family when I came begging for something else. And I’m realizing that miracles are happening constantly, in ways I never would have scripted, when I keep my eyes on Him.

Sometimes the miracle looks different than you expect. But it’s always enough, and more.

For years I believed the answer to my chronic weight gain and thyroid struggles was just more medication.

My labs would come back “normal,” yet I was still tired, foggy, and stuck in a fluffy body that didn’t feel like mine.

Then, in my Master's degree studies in nutrition, I discovered that my thyroid wasn’t the real problem.
👉 My liver and bowels were.

In the 28 years I battled Hashimoto's, no one ever explained this to me:

1. Your thyroid (or thyroid meds) make T4, the storage hormone.
2. Your liver has to convert it into T3, the active hormone your cells actually use.
3. And once those hormones are used, they must be cleared out daily through bile and p**p.

If your bowels are sluggish, your hormones can recycle blocking new hormone from working. That’s why so many women on thyroid meds never feel better.

And it's why my weight never budged even on the highest dose of thyroid meds.

💡 The belief that “medication alone will fix it” keeps women stuck. The truth is, unless you support the liver + bowels, you’ll never feel the full benefit of thyroid hormone.

That’s exactly what I teach in my private clients and now I'm releasing this information to women everywhere in my Thyroid Detox Training: the missing roadmap every woman with thyroid issues needs.

The current thyroid medical model has trained us to believe that the answer to thyroid struggles is more medication or another lab check.

But after working with thousands of women (and healing my own Hashimoto’s after 28 years on meds), I’ve learned something completely different:

👉 It’s not just about your thyroid gland.
👉 It’s about your liver and bowels because that’s where your hormones are activated and cleared.

If bile isn’t flowing and your bowels aren’t moving daily, thyroid hormones can recycle back into your system and block fresh hormone from working in the cells. That means more fatigue, brain fog, and stubborn weight even when your dose looks “optimal” on paper.

That’s why foods that support your liver and gut like apples, lemons, ginger, and beets, can sometimes do more for your thyroid than another medication adjustment.

This is exactly what I teach inside my Thyroid Detox Training, the framework that allowed me to reduce and eventually discontinue thyroid meds after nearly three decades of relying on them.

😅 Comment DETOX if you aren't afraid to hear about p**p.

I battled Hashimoto’s for 28 years, and not once did a doctor ever ask me about my bowels. 💩

I was only going once a week and thought that was “normal” because no one ever questioned it.

🚩But it was actually a major red flag.

As a plumber's wife, I'm not afraid to talk about p**p! And none of my doctors ever explained to me that our bowels and liver are the exit doors for thyroid hormones. If they don’t clear out through bile and p**p, old hormones can recycle in the body, blocking thyroid hormone receptors and making symptoms worse, no matter how high the med dose is.

It wasn’t until I addressed this missing step that I was finally able to:

✨ Reduce and eventually eliminate my thyroid medication
✨ Reclaim my hair, energy, and waistline without starvation diets
✨ Reverse Hashimoto's symptoms and bring antibodies down to zero

That’s why I created my Thyroid Detox Training with the same information I usually reserve for private clients. I want women everywhere to know that you can’t fix thyroid problems without fixing your liver and bowels.
