Avoid any supplements containing vitamin D, B, iron, selenium, zinc, curcumin, and magnesium all in one…
Why?
… because that’s not natural and won’t help you get more energy…
Here at Hypothyroidism Success Story, we are on a mission to help people get more energy and lose weight without having to rely on supplements…
How?
Keep reading to find out…
#1 How to get more energy with ionic minerals…
When it comes to minerals the word “ionic” means that it contains an electrical charge… it contains energy!
Magnesium is a much needed mineral for energy production…
There are many types of magnesium… you may find mineral supplements that list isolated types of magnesium like:
Magnesium Chelate
Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium Bisglycinate
Magnesium Malate
Magnesium Sucrosomial
Magnesium Taurate
Magnesium Orotate
The problem with most of those supplements is that they are not ionic or easily absorbed by the body…
Instead, what you want to look for is ionic magnesium with trace minerals… and this brings up another point… magnesium is only one of many minerals the body needs to get energy…
How can I get a boost of energy with Hashimoto’s
To get more energy, you’ll want to get a full spectrum of minerals…
Where do you get a full spectrum of minerals for energy?
Mineralized salt…
Isn’t salt bad for you?
No… but there are nuances…
Mineralized salt is natural salt… you need minerals for your body to regulate blood pressure…
That being said, there are bad salts out there…
Iodized table salt is one of the worst because it’s been stripped of minerals… they market it as having added iodine, but it’s not natural… without minerals, you are taking in massive amounts of sodium that will indeed raise your blood pressure… that’s why many think that “salt is bad”, when in reality it’s only salt without minerals that’s bad…
This may be hard for some to believe because table salt is so common, it’s been normalized and you wouldn’t think that it’s bad because so many people use it…
Give mineralized salt (real salt) a try and you’ll see the difference in your energy levels, lower stress and better sleep…
#2 How to get better sleep
Can Hashimoto’s cause extreme fatigue?
One of the reasons why you feel tired all the time is lack of good sleep…
This is where vitamin D comes into the picture…
The problem with most vitamin D supplements out there is the same as with magnesium… most of them are not natural and will only help temporarily, but long term can worsen your situation…
How do you know if you are taking real vitamin D?
If the vitamin D supplement you are taking measures the strength in IU’s then you should throw it away…
I am well aware that you may have been given this by a health professional… but as you learn more about this, you too will start to see why we don’t use supplements but rather get everything from food…
Vitamins are created by probiotics through the fermentation process… real vitamin D is just vitamin D that doesn’t measure IU’s…
IU’s is a measurement for Vitamin D3 which is an inactive form that needs to be converted to the active form of vitamin D…
This would happen if you had a strong immune system, but as you’ll soon begin to understand, auto-immune issues means that your immune system is compromised…
This puts you in a catch 22 scenario… Low vitamin D means weak immune system…
To strengthen your immune system, you need to raise your vitamin D…
How do you raise your vitamin D when you have weak probiotics?
Weak probiotics means that you’ll have a hard time digesting food (and supplements)…
So you want to look for foods that have already been digested and converted into nutrients… the natural way to do this is to look for fermented foods…
Fermentation is the natural process where probiotics take food, digest it and turn it into key nutrients and vitamins…
To get vitamin D from food, look for fermented cod liver oil…
Notice that it won’t measure vitamin D in IU’s… it just has the most bioavailable and ready to absorb vitamin D…
Fermented cod liver oil is not a supplement… it’s a traditional food that you won’t hear about much… but when you add it to your diet, you too will notice your sleep will improve… better sleep means you’ll wake up refreshed without brain fog and full of energy…
#3 How to get more energy without supplements
So far we’ve covered magnesium with trace minerals, and vitamin D…
The third thing you need to get a boost of energy is to get all the key nutrients your body needs…
Iron, selenium, copper, manganese, zinc, etc.
… but not from supplements…
If you have Hashimoto’s nutrient deficiencies it’s not because you’re not taking supplements… it’s because you’re not eating the right foods…
We live in a time where people have forgotten about traditional nourishing foods that the body needs to thrive and be healthy…
Most people think that by eating lean meats and veggies they will get all the nutrients they need…
I used to think the same until I found myself feeling tired all the time, with brain fog and not able to lose weight no matter what…
I’d toss and turn all night, wake up and walk like a zombie…
Until I learned that the foods we need to eat are almost the opposite of what most people do…
Healthy fats and meat organs are the most important part of your diet… not protein, low fat or carbs…
Meat organs (especially liver) contains everything your body needs, including bioavailable vitamin B (needed for energy), selenium, iron, zinc and pretty much everything they try to sell you in supplements…
I personally don’t like the idea of eating meat organs, but I had to make a choice… I would either get nutrients from supplements or food…
I chose food and realized that if I eat real food, then I don’t need to take supplements… nothing else I’ve tried has given me the type of energy I get from eating real food…
The formula we use is simple…
#1 Hydrate (water & minerals)
#2 Real Vitamin D (fermented cod liver oil)
#3 Nourishing foods (beef organs)
