The more I talk to people about their experience with low thyroid function, the more I see this pattern…

You go in, get labs done and then you are given all kinds of supplements… iron, selenium, vitamin D, thyroid support supplements…

Some people feel a little better, but not quite…

Feel tired, can’t get good sleep, brain fog, hair thinning or falling off… and can’t lose weight no matter what…

If your lab numbers come back normal, but you don’t feel normal, then they’ll say it’s all in your head and give you anti-depressants…

In my case, I was told there was nothing I could do about it…

… that I was going to have to take hormones for the rest of my life…

I gained 40 lbs in a month… felt so sad…

I wanted to lose weight…

I wanted my clothes to feel better…

I wanted to feel good in my body…

I wanted to feel confident and get back to being active…

I thought I was doing everything right… taking all the supplements, eating lean meats and veggies… cut out sugar, dairy, gluten…

Nothing was working and then all of the sudden, I started doing the opposite of what they were telling me…

All of the sudden, I started to get my energy back…

My sleep improved…

I was able to lose weight…

It felt so good when my clothes started to fit better…

I now feel confident when I take my shirt off…

They said diet had little to do with how I felt, but now I see that diet had everything to do with my low energy and weight gain…

How to get more energy with low thyroid

The first thing I started doing was hydrating…

I used to not drink much water…

When you don’t drink enough water and your body becomes dehydrated, your body can’t digest food efficiently…

You get gas, bloating and constipation…

When your digestive system doesn’t work well, your energy levels begin to drop…

They’ll tell you all about how you need to reduce stress, but never mention anything about hydration…

When you are properly hydrated, you can get all of your nutrients from food without the need for supplements!

Even if you were to take supplements, if you are dehydrated, your body won’t uptake them as efficiently…

Property hydration is the first step to getting more energy…

Getting more energy is just the beginning…

Dehydration makes it harder for your body to get nutrients… without nutrients you can’t regenerate tissue, hair, skin or nails… nails get brittle, skin dries, hair starts thinning and falling off…

That’s how important minerals are for your diet, hair, skin & nails…

How do I fix my thyroid weight loss?

When you are dehydrated and can’t digest properly you create an environment in your gut that allows the growth of bad bacteria, wild yeast, mold or parasites… (bad gut flora)…

Bad gut flora is considered bad because they steal nutrients from you (why you feel low energy)… and they produce toxins which end up in your fat cells… the more toxic your gut produces, the more your fat cells expand as they get filled with toxins…

As your fat cells become toxic, you start growing more bad bacteria… this is how thyroid nodules begin to grow…

You won’t read about this anywhere from people that are supposed to know how to help you…

How much weight can you lose with thyroid problems?

There’s a common misconception that you can’t lose weight if you have low thyroid… which is why so many people keep looking for the best thyroid support supplement for weight loss when in reality it’s not your thyroid making gain weight…

If you are gaining weight it’s because of poor gut health…

I will dare say that low thyroid is also due to poor gut health…

You don’t boost your thyroid to lose weight… you lose weight to boost your thyroid…

Many people wonder if they’ll start losing weight once they start taking thyroid medication only to find out that is not the case…

Does low thyroid affect your weight?

Thyroid function does play a role in metabolism, but gut health is what affects weight the most…

They will tell you that once your hormone levels are within normal range that you may then lose “a small amount of weight”…

How does your body produce hormones?

Hormone production and balance happens primarily in your gut… even thyroid hormone depends on your gut health…

How so?

To produce thyroid hormone, you need amino acids like Tyrosine… Thyroid hormone T4 is made with Tyrosine… if you can’t digest protein then your body won’t get amino acids…

Can hypothyroidism go away?

Do you really have low thyroid function or poor gut health?

Taking pills doesn’t improve gut health… that’s why so many people get frustrated that they can’t find the right dose and keep looking for a thyroid doctor who might find the magic number not knowing that gut health is where they need to focus…

If you focus on thyroid, then you’ll be steered towards thinking that you’ll need to eat seaweed for iodine, brazil nuts for selenium, and take pills, but no matter what you won’t really be getting better…

Some will even say that eating large amounts of iodine will make hypothyroidism worse…

There’s so much confusion it’s frustrating…

The moment you take your attention away from the thyroid and start to focus on gut health, things change…

Growing healthy probiotics in your gut is the most effective way to get more energy and lose weight…

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.
