Izabella Wentz Thyroid Pharmacist wrote two of my favorite books that have helped me get more energy and lose weight…

#1 Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause

This book will help you understand how Hashimoto’s and Adrenal fatigue stems from a vicious cycle of immune system overload due to gut dysbiosis, impaired digestion, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, intestinal permeability, food sensitivities and more…

It walks you through restoring thyroid hormone levels by finding your root cause and how to diet for Hashimoto’s…

My biggest takeaway from this book was learning about the importance of your gut health… improving your gut health is the most effective way to get more energy and lose weight…

What produces energy, vitamins and hormones?

The probiotics that make up your gut flora…

Food is supposed to give you energy…

When your gut flora is composed primarily of probiotics (good yeast and bacteria), then you will digest food and get energy from it…

If you eat food and instead get gas, bloating or constipation, then that means your gut flora has bad bacteria, yeast overgrowth, parasites or all…

What makes these “bad” is that they don’t digest the food you eat to make nutrients and hormones for you… instead, they steal the nutrients and produce toxins…

This is how you start to become malnourished and stop getting energy from food and instead feel tired especially after eating your meals…

The toxins produced by bad bacteria drain your energy. Your body protects itself from these toxins by storing them in your fat cells… the more toxins that get stored in your fat cells the more weight you begin to gain…

This is what makes it so hard to lose weight… it’s why I kept gaining weight no matter what…

I didn’t realize that low energy was the lack of nutrients because of the bad bacteria in my gut… this lack of nutrients is also what got me to a point where my hair started to fall off…

#2 Hashimoto’s Protocol: A 90-Day Plan for Reversing Thyroid Symptoms and Getting Your Life Back

This book did two things for me that were pivotal in my own journey…

First is that it gave me the belief that there was something I could do about my fatigue and weight loss…

While doctors kept telling me that I was going to have to take hormones for the rest of my life, I started to believe that with the right diet, I could get my body to produce hormones…

I started to believe that I could boost my thyroid to get more energy and lose weight…

Most importantly, it saved me from many mistakes I could’ve made had I not learned that there’s an order in which you want to tackle this issue…

Eating a diet for Hashimoto’s is only the beginning…

You need to make sure that the food you eat is properly digested… then you have to make sure that the nutrients from the food you eat are properly absorbed…

… and finally, you need to make sure that once nutrients are absorbed, that they are delivered into the cells of your body…

You start to learn that there are foods you may be eating that are blocking nutrients from entering the cells of your body…

Without these nutrients your body can’t grow hair, produce energy or make hormones… brain fog, depression and anxiety are all byproducts of your gut flora not being healthy and thriving…

Every success story from our programs focused on one thing: improving their gut health… healthy probiotics in your gut are the key to get more energy and lose weight…

Learning how to grow healthy probiotics in your gut is the number one skill you can learn to fix the root cause of Hashimoto’s…

How to Get Natural Energy without Restrictive Diets or Supplements

When I say I used to feel exhausted, I’m talking about bone-deep fatigue…

It wasn’t me being distant, dramatic or lazy…

It wasn’t me being just tired or run down…

It was the kind of exhaustion that lives deep in your bones…

It’s hard to explain what a flare was like without sounding dramatic…

I’d wake up feeling like I’d been hit by a Mack truck, even if all I did the day before was exist.

When this happened, my body felt sore and beaten up, like it had been through something physical and brutal…

My muscles and joints ached constantly and deep like everything was inflamed and heavy…

Some days I was just surviving quietly… it took more strength than anyone realized….

The fatigue was crippling… 

Not “I could use a nap” tired, but the kind where standing up required me to grab onto a wall…

I felt weak, dizzy, and slowed down, as if I was walking through mud…

Things that were normally manageable suddenly felt overwhelming… Simple tasks required planning…

I would sit in my kitchen without moving… just enough energy to feel unmotivated…

I would feel low and sad for no reason like a flattening of everything. 

The flares would happen even when I did everything right…

I’d cut out gluten, dairy, sugar…

I’d take a whole stack of supplements (selenium, iodine, iron, B vitamins, etc…) 

… yet my entire system felt like it was under siege… like my body was pulling the fire alarm because of steam from the kettle, and refused to shut it off. 

Everything suddenly got louder, harder, and heavier at once. 

I was doing everything I could just to get through the day, but nothing worked until I figured out the cells of my body were not getting the nutrients they needed…

It didn’t matter what diet I tried, what supplements I took, or what detox I did… 

Something was blocking the nutrients from getting into the cells of my body and that’s when I discovered cellular-level nutrition…

I put together a program Energy Jumpstart, where I share my 3-Step Framework to rebuild your energy.
