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 more energy with Hypothyroidism
They 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!
