I have a doctor friend and I asked him…
“What can you tell me about Hypothyroidism?”
… and he said…
“If you are hypothyroid, they’ll put you on thyroid hormones for the rest of your life…”
… and for some reason, I just didn’t want to believe that…
Not the take hormones part…
… but the “for the rest of your life” part…
Hypothyroidism is rough!
I desperately wanted my normal life back…
… so I started to research and wanted to figure out why I was going through this…
What was the cause?
Found so much conflicting information online…
I picked up the book Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and treating the root cause by Dr Izabella Wentz…
… and I also signed up to watched her documentary “the thyroid secret”
I then started to understand that high TSH is not the only way you can experience hypothyroidism…
I started meeting people who are hypothyroid because they’ve had their thyroid removed (total thyroidectomy)…
Others had low vitamin D…
Some had high TSH…
High cortisol…
… and even some with high cholesterol…
Different issues needing different solutions… except for one that seems to be shared in common… I’ll talk about this later…
Once I started to understand my root cause, I started finding the right solutions for me…
I started to understand what I needed to do to get my energy back and start losing weight again…
#1 I knew that I needed to make sure my body was producing thyroid hormone…
This is where the journey began… This is one of the first things I did that helped me get my energy back…
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.
