Hypothyroidism and Gut Health

You’d think that eating a salad meant I was being healthy… but when my hypothyroidism was at its peak, I struggled with digesting food and feeling awful after eating even if it was just a salad!!

Somedays I’d feel a piercing pain in my stomach and other days I’d feel my stomach bubble and build up so much gas the pressure would hurt!!

I used to describe it as if I had a hole in my stomach before I even heard the term leaky gut and before I learned about the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.

This is when I first started to realize that health really does start in the gut. I read the book Clean by Alejandro Jurgen and I began to focus all of my energy and efforts in cleaning up my gut and restructuring my gut flora.

I realized that my body was not even uptaking nutrients because my gut was too toxic and didn’t have the right gut flora which really didn’t help my hypothyroidism.

It’s the reason why I followed this simple formula Green Juice + Probiotics + intermittent fasting as Alejandro talks about in the video above.

Once I started to learn more about how the body works, I realized the importance of diet and started to learn more about cooking foods that would promote gut health. Some people call this traditional cooking where we go back to traditional or old ways of preparing and cooking foods.

Once I healed my gut I started to feel the energy I needed to do the active things I love to do like hike, mountain bike, snowboard. I stopped gaining weight and started leaning down almost effortlesly.

I started to sleep better, and my mood improved… many of the things I dealt with like depression, anxiety, lack of focus, dry skin, hair loss, fatigue, etc., were all problems that started in my gut.

Fix your gut and watch everything else take care of itself…

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!
