It's really time to give your gut some love

If our gut microbiome is not healthy that affects so many other parts of our body systems that we can feel completely out of whack - it even affects our hormones, cravings, food choices and our weightloss.

Lockdowns suck

I am the first to admit I hate being told I can't do something. We have been in Lockdown Level 4 (stay at home and all businesses closed) for many weeks then we were released to Level 3 which is pretty much clicking and collecting from some businesses only.

It's easy to tell me how to lose weight.

Not so easy to actually achieve it - when you have an underactive thyroid!

You know the drills right - eat less, exercise more!

When I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 2008 I didn't know where to start.

Low Carb bread can taste like cardboard - this is the exception!

I tinkered around with a few low-carb bread recipes and came up with this easy recipe for keto bread without the sawdust texture!

It took me 12 years to figure out how to heal my leaky gut, keep the weight off, fix my adrenals and I learned 5 very important lessons along the way. 

1. Doctors don't always know best.

This can really be hard for some to accept. Especially if you've grown up being told to respect doctors...

Losing weight with hypothyroidism can be a minefield at the best of times. But what I see so many doing is making these three big mistakes when trying to lose weight.

1. Exercising like a maniac.

Going crazy with exercising only aggravates your adrenal fatigue (or could bring it on) so please...

I used to be vegetarian - so did my husband. 

Fast forward 10 years and we started eating meat again - me for my iron levels - and he for the fact the vegan is so high in carbs. And despite the name - we were not eating a lot of veggies!

Being diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis in 2008...
