In this blog post I’m going to share with you how to get more energy and lose weight by learning what inflammatory foods to avoid with hypothyroidism…
The #1 food to avoid that’s wrecking your thyroid (and the rest of your body)….
Vegetable oil…
If you want to see a massive improvement to reduce inflammation in your body then you must avoid vegetable oil like the plague…
Vegetable oil is practically everywhere…
It comes in the form of canola oil, corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, etc.
This ingredient is found in just about every packaged food, including foods you wouldn’t think of as foods that have “bad fats”…
Why is this such a bad food that you must avoid to get rid of inflammation?
The easiest way to think about it is that it’s hard to digest, goes rancid easily and it just doesn’t give your body any nourishment…
Vegetable oil isn’t a food that’s supposed to be in our diet…
If you look up information on canola oil, you’ll find that it’s not a natural food, but rather man made…
Vegetable oil is what I call “bad fat”… it clogs up your liver and gallbladder which digest fats for you… that means that your ability to digest good fats will diminish and that’s one way your hormone production and balance is affected…
Eat good healthy fats to reduce inflammation
Avoiding bad fats will stop the source of inflammation…
To get rid of inflammation, you have to undo the damage of bad fats by introducing good fats to your body…
Before I started doing this, I was tired all the time, had brain fog and I couldn’t lose weight no matter what…
My body had essentially lost the ability to digest fat…
That led to inflammation, not being able to lose weight and it lowered my hormone production…
How so?
… because hormone production starts with vitamin D…
Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, which means that you must eat healthy fats in order for your body to get and use vitamin D… that’s why a low fat diet is the worst diet for hypothyroidism…
The tricky part is that once your vitamin D levels drop, you can’t just start eating a ton of healthy fats because your body may not be able to digest it properly…
You have to start out with fats that are easy to digest or better yet, fats that require little to no digestion…
The best one by far is Fermented Cod Liver Oil & Butter Oil…
“Fermented” means that the fat has already been digested and most importantly, that the nutrients have already been converted to vitamins…
This is one of the best additions to my diet that helped me improve my sleep and lose weight…
If you do nothing else, just avoiding bad fats and including healthy fats into your diet will have a massive impact on your energy levels, inflammation and your ability to lose weight…
The last one is understanding the difference between real food and fake food…
Most food being sold at grocery stores isn’t what I consider real food because it doesn’t have the nutrients it needs to have and most importantly it doesn’t come from healthy soil…
Food can only be as healthy as the soil it’s grown in… if it’s not healthy, it’s toxic… that toxicity is the next big source of inflammation and thyroid problems…

How to get more energy with Hypothyroidism
The key to get energy is learning how to create an environment in your gut for probiotics to grow… minerals are just one of nine steps I use to create this environment…
Sadly, most doctors don’t have a clue about this… thyroid supplements, and programs that promise to “fix your thyroid” don’t understand this either…
I am not a doctor… I only know about this because I was an avid home brewer and studied fermentation, though not for health purposes… I was not into health back then… I was only growing probiotics (brewer’s yeast) to make beer…
… but when I learned that probiotics are what make hormones… all bets were off… I needed to try making the probiotics in my gut as healthy as I could for myself, even if no one else followed…
If you are…
- Too exhausted to move.
- Struggling to stay awake
- Low energy is affecting your work
- Can’t say yes to active play with your kids (family is frustrated at you)
- You’ve tried the diets
- You’ve tried the supplements
- You’ve adjusted your dose up, down and sideways at this point
… then I’m excited to share with you my Energy Blueprint… I journaled everything I did for over seven years to get rid of thyroid fatigue.
I took out what didn’t work and left only what worked…
I started sharing this with others via my free email newsletter.
When you subscribe to our email newsletter you will learn each step I took to get more energy…
You will start by improving digestion… the first thing you’ll notice is no more gas, bloating or constipation… no more dry skin…
Once you tip that domino, the next step is to improve your sleep… you will learn how to get deep restorative sleep so you wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day…
Your mind will be sharp in the morning… and if your hair is thinning or falling out, you will notice it start to grow thick and strong again.
… and because everything you do is completely natural, the energy you feel will last all day without having to rely on caffeine or thyroid supplements.
So, you’ll notice when you come home after work, you’ll have energy to play with your kids, workout or do whatever activity you feel like because you will have the energy left to do so!
