How to Get More Energy without Restrictive Nutrition Plans or Supplements That Don't Work

Picture Yourself Running, Laughing, and Playing with Your Kids, Fully Energized & Present.

If you are still tired after doing everything your doctor told you to do... maybe even got your thyroid levels to "normal", but you don't feel normal, then read on...

.... because I'm about to share how I went from feeling extreme fatigue, barely getting through the day without feeling like I needed to collapse to finally getting my life back!

Brain fog and fatigue are gone. 

My brain works faster... I can think... I can function. 

After years of feeling like garbage, I learned how I could help my body feel so much better... it felt so good, I remember thinking "is this what normal people feel like all the time?"

I felt like a normal human again and I want to share with you what I did to get here. 

Why You’re Still Tired - Even When You’re Doing “Everything Right”

Everything changes when you get your energy back...

Your sleep improves and you wake up feeling rested... your mind is clear and sharp... 

No more dragging through the day... 

You have energy to be more active... so naturally, your clothes start to fit better... your skin starts to glow... your hair starts to feel fuller and softer... you start to like what you see in the mirror... 

This is possible when you improve the one thing responsible for giving your body energy...

Your digestion... 

If you take nothing else from reading this, get this:

To get more energy, you need to create an environment in your gut that allows the probiotics that live there to thrive and digest the food you eat...

Here's why this is your golden ticket:

Probiotics are what take food energy and turn it into energy that your body can use... they are also the ones that make hormones for you!

Weak probiotics =  low hormone production, low energy, and so you feel like garbage.

Strong probiotics = good hormone production, high energy, and so you feel amazing.

... and what determines if the probiotics in your gut are strong or weak? It's not about taking probiotic supplements... it's about the environment in your gut...

Creating the right environment inside your gut is the most natural, lasting way to rebuild your energy and feel like yourself again.

I learned how to get my energy back after making the same mistakes I now see people making all the time... because I did what doctors told me to do...

If you've talked to enough doctors, you've probably been told to cut out foods like gluten, dairy and sugar...

Here's the biggest problem with following this type of advice...

Things like dairy, sugar or gluten, are not the problem... the real problem is that you can't properly digest those foods...

In other words, the real problem is poor digestion...

How many people do you know who eat gluten all the time and are just fine?

That's because they have good digestion... and good digestion is key for thyroid hormone production because your body needs to be able to break down (digest) protein into amino acids to make hormones...

Think about it... the "T" in thyroid hormone T4 stands for Tyrosine, which is an amino acid. 

If you can't digest protein, then your body won't be able to get enough Tyrosine to make thyroid hormones...

The same happens with other hormones, which is why it's common for people with low thyroid hormone to be low in other hormones like melatonin (the sleeping hormone), serotonin and dopamine (the feel-good happy hormones), etc...

Once you see that, it starts making more sense why low thyroid function is often associated with poor sleep, anxiety and depression... or mood swings and feeling miserable to a point where you don't recognize your body...

Cutting out gluten, helps inflammation, but it doesn't help protein digestion so it doesn't help you get Tyrosine for thyroid hormone production... so while you may reduce inflammation, you end up with lower hormone production and feeling exhausted long term...

That's why improving your digestion will help you improve thyroid function more so than cutting out entire food groups...

Doctors hardly ever talk about this... 

They simply give you this choice: take a pill or feel miserable...

You don't know any better, so you go with the former. You might feel good for a week or so, but eventually you end up back to where you started... or worse... feeling like complete and utter crap all the time...

Maybe your labs say you feel fine, but you know you don't feel fine and no doctor seems to listen to you... you are now at the end of your rope looking for an alternative...

Good news!

Getting more energy has less to do with your thyroid and more to do with the environment in your gut... your digestion...

Without good digestion your body literally can’t extract or create the energy you need to function...

How I Discovered the Real Secret Behind Energy that Lasts All Day

Back in 2012, I was tired all the time... 

I'm talking extreme fatigue to the point where I was falling asleep sitting up at my desk at work...

My mind was foggy... and everything I ate seemed to turn to fat immediately...

I had a laundry list of weird symptoms nobody could explain... and no matter what I tried, nothing seemed to get better.

I could not keep functioning like that. I was exhausted - both literally and emotionally. It was starting to affect my work and personal life. So, I did what most people do.

I went the traditional route: doctor visits, prescriptions, pep talks about getting more sleep and managing stress.

But even with the pills, the exhaustion never lifted, and I just kept gaining weight.

So, I turned to alternative medicine like naturopaths and functional medicine.

I spent thousands of dollars on lab tests, stocked my cabinets with every supplement under the sun, and yes, I followed restrictive diets that cut out gluten, dairy, sugar... you name it.

Can you imagine? After all of that... all the effort, all the money, all the hope... I was still tired. Still bloated. Still dragging myself through every single day.

I felt completely defeated.

But there was one symptom that wouldn’t leave me alone:
gas and bloating after eating just about anything.

When I started researching what was causing that, I stumbled across a word that stopped me cold: Candida. A wild yeast that, when overgrown, wreaks havoc inside your gut... causing gas, bloating, and fatigue. 

Candida... the first time I had heard that name was in a beer brewing book back when I was a home brewer...

In brewing, yeast candida is the thing you fear.

It’s a wild contaminant... a sign that the environment in your brew has gone toxic... it was spoiled... rotten... no longer able to produce good beer.

That’s when it hit me... my “ah-ha” moment.

I looked down at my gut and thought: 

“Ewww... it’s like a spoiled batch of beer.”

All this time, I had been trying to fix my gut symptoms from the outside... with diets, supplements, pills and protocols... but the real problem wasn’t what I was putting in.

The real problem was the environment inside my gut.

It was toxic.

... and that toxic environment was the main reason why my digestion wasn't working... and why I was exhausted all the time...

Gas, bloating, and constipation suddenly made sense... 

From that moment on, I stopped obsessing over what to eat, what to cut out, or what supplements to take.

Instead, I focused on rebuilding the environment inside my gut the same way I would create an environment when brewing beer... because the right environment is the foundation healthy probiotics need to thrive... and they are the ones in charge of digestion... they give you energy!

It was crazy to think that I could take principles I had learned from the brewing process and apply it to my body to grow healthy probiotics and improve my digestion... but at this point, I had nothing to lose. I couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without nearly dying...

I was ready to do whatever it took to feel like myself again...

I rolled up my sleeves and got to work... And as my gut environment healed, something amazing happened:

My digestion improved, my energy came back, and I was finally able to lose the weight!

And that’s when I realized the simple truth:

If probiotics are what digest food to create energy... and their survival depends on the environment inside your gut... how else can you expect to get more energy unless you fix the environment first?

When you fix the environment in your gut, you fix your digestion and you beat thyroid fatigue...

When you can digest the food you eat you start to feel like yourself again... 

And the Numbers Don't Lie

  • 60% of people with thyroid issues still experience chronic fatigue, brain fog, and digestive problems even after medication (source)
  • 70–80% of your immune system... and a huge part of your energy regulation... lives in your gut microbiome (source)
  • Over 90% of people with chronic fatigue show signs of gut dysbiosis (source)

In other words:

Improving your digestion is the most effective way to get your energy back, sleep better and feel better...

Real Hypothyroidism Success Stories

I started sharing my story with others to see if they would experience the same...

We’ve now helped dozens of women who were “doing everything right” find lasting energy by focusing on rebuilding their gut environment to improve digestion...

From feeling tired, slow and foggy to feeling so much energy you almost can't believe you feel normal again...

And none of it required starving, restricting diets, or a cabinet full of supplements...

Want to know one of the simplest ways to start rebuilding your energy — without overhauling your diet, drowning in supplements, or living at the health food store?

The first step to getting your energy back is to improve your hydration... 

I personally did not like to drink water... and I'm finding that most people that find my program feel the same way, or they drink water without minerals... 

Worse, many people drink water out of plastic bottles which is toxic and then wonder why their digestion sucks and feel tired all the time...

People often tell me "Really, just water? I'm already drinking tons of water"... and my question back is "great, but is your body absorbing the water?"

... because if your drinking water doesn't have minerals chances are you're going to the bathroom frequently peeing most of the water you drink right out... 

When I was brewing beer, I was very particular about adding minerals to water, because without minerals, I couldn't digest barley grain starch into sugar... 

No minerals = no digestion

This was such a simple concept, I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of doing this before. If I was so adamant about ensuring my brewing water was clean and mineralized, why wouldn't I be adamant about my drinking water being the same?

That's why when you start hydrating your body with clean mineral-rich water, you begin to feel a boost of energy because you are giving your body the raw materials it needs to:

Digest food better so you get energy from food rather than feeling like you need to nap after eating...
Feed healthy probiotics so they give your body energy and make hormones for you...
Allow your body to use the energy it stores in the cells of your body...

Here’s how to get started:

You can start by adding ionic magnesium and a highly mineralized salt called SOLE salt to your water every day to improve your hydration.

Within days, your digestion will start improving.

Within weeks, your energy will start returning.

It's so stupid simple, but few people look at hydration as the place to start because it's not as fancy as some "ancient herbal" thyroid supplement with iodine + selenium + Ashwagandha ... 

"Wait... isn't salt bad for you?"

Brace yourself, because this might come as a shock to you...

Most people think that iodized salt is good for them because it has iodide... but the problem with iodized salt is that it lacks the minerals that your body needs to get energy... minerals are what probiotics need to digest and ferment foods... 

That's why you can't use iodized salt to make sauerkraut or pickles... you need salt with minerals to boost your energy...

Minerals are also what your body uses to regulate blood pressure...

That means that salt with minerals will help you regulate blood pressure, but salt without minerals (like iodized salt) will elevate blood pressure... 

So if you ever hear someone say that salt is bad for you, know that they are referring to iodized salt... 

... blood pressure isn't the only reason why you should ditch iodized salt...

How Iodized Salt Makes You More Hypothyroid...

Maybe you're thinking,

"I've already tried lifestyle changes."

"I already know about gut health."

"I've already tried fixing my digestion."

"I'm already taking vitamin D, probiotics, or eating healthy... and I'm still tired."

I totally get it.

And you’re absolutely right to be skeptical... because you've followed the advice of people who are supposed to know about health... but sadly, most of them are clueless.

Here’s where most people (including health professionals) get it wrong: 

The lifestyle changes most people follow are completely wrong!

Notice the emphasis on iodine...

You are often told to eat iodine-rich foods or take thyroid support supplements which include iodine, iron, selenium, Ashwagandha and other herbs... 

... but here's the truth few people are talking about... 

#1 The National Institute of Health says that iodine deficiency is extremely rare in the United States.

Which is crazy because so many people think hypothyroidism is an iodine deficiency problem and it's very common to hear that you need iodine-rich foods and iodine supplements... but read what the National Institue of Health (NIH) says about what causes hypothyroidism:

#2 ... it's crazy that even the NIH states that hypothyroidism can be caused by too much iodine in the diet!

Which is why so many people feel worse after increasing iodine intake... 

... and don't get me started with thyroid supplements... for one, they use isolated forms of nutrients, which means the body can't easily absorb them... especially if you have poor digestion...

Second... think about this... what are the most common ingredients in thyroid supplements?

- Iodine

- Selenium

- Iron

- Copper

- Zinc

- Vitamin A

- Vitamin D

- B Vitamins (biotin, folate, riboflavin)

Many people spend $200-$300 a month on a supplement stack to get all these nutrients... which is stupid when you realize that all these nutrients are found in egg yolks... 

... and unlike supplements, egg yolks have these nutrients in a bioavailable form that's easier for the body to digest...

If inflammation is a problem when eating eggs (if you get skin rashes, etc.), know this:

Cutting out dairy doesn't help improve digestion... it helps with inflammation at the expense of making you nutrient deficient... 

The real solution to fix inflammation and nutrient deficiencies is to improve digestion... do that and watch your energy levels rise higher...

Your Body Is Craving Nutrients from Foods, Not Supplements...

Most people are stuck in a cycle of "I want to know what's wrong with my body"

So, they get a lab to find a nutrient deficiency and supplement to address it...

The problem with that is that nutrients don't work in isolation... low iron is a common one. Taking iron supplements creates imbalances because your body needs other nutrients to process iron. When you take an iron supplement you start using up and depleting your body from minerals like zinc, copper and B vitamins... 

In other words, every time you supplement one nutrient, you create an imbalance with others... before you know it, you start finding you need to supplement selenium, iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium, manganese, etc.

Meanwhile this weakens your probiotics, which weakens digestion and brings back inflammation...

That's why if you want to get energy the natural way you have to stick to things that are natural...

No synthetic pills.

No artificial megadoses.

No patch jobs.

Just real food.

Real energy.

Real healing.

Instead, you want to eat real foods that your body can digest, because when you create the right environment inside your body... Your body does what it was always designed to do: digest food and heal itself.

So what’s it going to be?

Keep patching symptoms with pills and quick fixes that barely move the needle...

or

Step into a completely natural, connected approach that rebuilds your energy for good?

The choice is yours.

And we’re here to show you the way.

You now know that the environment in your gut is everything when it comes to improving digestion to get your energy back.

Fix your digestion... fix the energy problems that have been stealing your life away.

If you’ve been working hard... trying pills, restrictive diets, useless protocols... and still feeling exhausted, you should feel relief.

You’re not failing because you didn’t try hard enough.

You were simply misled with the wrong information.

Here's what happens when you stop following common thyroid advice and work on your digestion instead...

Improving your digestion is simpler than you think.

When I was brewing beer, I had to create the perfect environment for probiotics to digest barley starch into sugar and ferment it... and it all came down to just five core elements.

Think of it like caring for the root system of a tree... 

Here’s the big picture:

Quality of Water — life cannot thrive without clean, mineral-rich water.
Minerals — the tiny spark plugs that power biological processes.
pH Balance — the acidity/alkalinity that controls what grows and what dies.
Temperature — the warmth that fuels healthy cell function.
Probiotic-Specific Nourishment — the food that feeds the right microbes and starves the wrong ones.

Here's how you use this information... 

When I was dealing with inflammation, I learned that inflammation happens when you don't digest protein properly... 

So I looked at the brewing process and started asking, how do you digest protein?

When brewing I would soak grains with water with minerals at around 130°F... because that's where protein digestive enzymes are most active...

So, I started looking around and realized that when you put a brisket in a BBQ smoker, it sits at around 130°F... and that's why it's so tender and easy to digest...

Once you notice these details you start improving your digestion naturally simply by creating an environment for probiotics to digest... both when you prepare food and in your body...

This is the kind of stuff I started doing to improve my digestion and you can do the same... 

Where do I start when it comes to improving my digestion?
What foods do I eat?
What foods do I need to avoid?
How do I make sure I’m feeding probiotics and not bad bacteria in my gut?

Growing probiotics is no different than keeping a houseplant alive... and sadly many people can't do that.

Many people tend to over water plants... and guess what? most people that go through my program find that they are drinking too much water... they are overwatering themselves...

That's why every piece matters: 

- The right amount of water

- Minerals in the soil (your gut)

- pH of the soil (your gut)

- Temperature

Ignore one, and you leave yourself open to growing the wrong things... like candida and other nasty critters you definitely don’t want.

When you get the environment right:

You wake up feeling refreshed — not dragging yourself through the day.
You digest your food cleanly and easily — without gas, bloating, or heaviness.
You feel natural, steady energy flowing through you — without needing caffeine, naps, or willpower.

Why the Old Approach Fails (And Will Keep Failing)

Notice how I keep emphasizing natural approaches... 

... but "natural" is sometimes confused with taking herbal supplements... living off pills is not natural...

That's why most people can't seem to figure this out...

Traditional doctors focus on lab numbers, not root causes. If your labs look "normal," you're sent home... even if you still feel awful.
Functional medicine often swaps pills for more expensive pills addressing one deficiency and creating another one resulting in endless testing... treating you like a science project, not a human.
Restrictive diets create temporary relief at best... and long-term frustration at worst... without ever fixing the real problem underneath, poor digestion.

Most people try to fix their energy with pills... 

Try doing dishes with pills... you'll find that you can't clean them... but yet expect your gut environment to fix itself with pills... 

You can't get energy if your gut is dry, depleted of minerals, or toxic... that's why nothing else works.

It’s like trying to grow a garden by buying fancier seeds, while the soil is still dead.

If you skip this simple step and keep trying to “fix” your energy externally, you’ll stay stuck in the same frustrating cycle:

Spending more money on pills and diets
Feeling more overwhelmed trying to understand what's wrong with you
Losing more time with the people you love

Why Improving Your Digestion Is a Better Way to Get Your Energy Back...

Improving your digestion is simple and intuitive... 

The foods you need to get more energy are the same foods you need to naturally produce more thyroid hormones... 

Oddly enough, they are the foods you are told to avoid... fats from butter, milk, cheese, and eggs... just to name a few... 

Eating fat isn't what makes you gain weight... 

Having poor fat digestion is what makes you gain weight...

When you work on your digestion, you can eat a ribeye, and your belly actually gets flat and toned... 

... but if you can't digest fat, then you will end up gaining weight even if you eat low fat...

Why This Is Different

Let me shoot straight... I'm not a doctor.

I'm a beer brewer who learned firsthand how to create an environment for probiotics to grow because they are the ones responsible for digestion...

I'm not here to sell you supplements or probiotics... if anything, I'm here to get you off supplements... and show you how you can help the probiotics in your gut thrive by providing them with the right environment so they can digest food and give you energy...

I’m not looking for patients... and definitely don't have expensive lab tests for you...

Hormone-gut issues are often oversimplified and then you are blamed for not following a strict diet that's a new kind of perfectionism...

Your microbiome is unique so the only one who can improve digestion in your body is you... you need to learn to trust in your intuition and we help you do just that!

Because once you understand how to create the right environment inside your gut, you don’t need another protocol, another pill, or another expensive test.

You just need your body, your instincts... and a little bit of the right guidance...

And that’s exactly what we’re about to give you...

Here’s the real choice in front of you: stay stuck in a system built on dependence... or step into a new approach built on your own power to heal.

You already have everything you need inside you.

You just need the right environment... and the right guide... to bring its ability to digest back to life...

... and yes, when you improve your energy levels you naturally improve your hormone production...

This is what your body was designed for.

You just need the right blueprint to rebuild it.

If you’re an active mom who's still tired after doing everything that doctor's recommended... and you're finally ready to experience natural energy that lasts all day... not just random good days, but real, reliable, natural energy... then I’m here and ready to show you exactly how to do it.
