With hypothyroidism, many women think “weight gain and low energy,”which is just part of the equation.

However, having a sluggish thyroid impacts numerous metabolic functions, which is why taking medication doesn’t solve WHY your symptoms are present in the first place.

We know the symptoms are present because of low thyroid output, but HOW did that happen? It didn’t happen because you’re deficient in synthroid 😯

Without addressing metabolism, you’ll keep spinning your wheels trying to manage symptoms & experiencing more and more symptoms and health issues 👆

If we want to understand health, we need to understand the HOW. How everything is linked.

Read above 👆to understand how a sluggish thyroid can cause multiple other issues with adrenals, cholesterol and sex hormones.

A blend of beautiful herbs: mugwort, damiana, skullcap, mullein, rose petals, calendula flowers & blue cornflower. Smudging is a way to energetically cleanse a space to invite positive energy. These herbs are soothing for the mind and body and when smoked (I roll them into cigarettes), can help to decongest and clear phlegm 💫

My favorite way to support my adrenals — with the🍊adrenal cocktail🍊

This simple drink is not only delicious but provides the adrenals with minerals and vitamin C, which are often depleted under times of stress.

There are numerous ways to make the adrenal cocktail, but this is my fav 👆

I often drink one in the afternoon for a mid-day energy boost or in the morning to replenish electrolytes and support my cortisol rise.

There are numerous symptoms that can arise from chronic stress and depleted minerals, such as fatigue, low thyroid function, digestive issues, low blood sugar and poor sleep.

And yes… it’s also good for hangovers 😉

Keep in mind, the adrenal cocktail is meant to be used strategically. If you’ve been low carb and start drinking orange juice all day- not ideal. Start slow. Or opt for the adrenal cocktail mix from @jarrowformulas

As women head into their 40’s and peri-menopausa

As women head into their 40’s and peri-menopausal years, there seems to be a common theme:

— weight gain
— fatigue
— lack of sleep
— changes in their menstrual cycle
— feeling stressed and anxious

Many of these symptoms show up because of our adrenals + thyroid.

Stress impacts the adrenals, which slows down the thyroid. As the thyroid slows, we tend to notice shifts with our weight and we opt for more salads and eat less food in an effort to lose weight🙈

If you want to support your thyroid and metabolism, you need protein!

Protein is responsible for nearly all of the work that is carried out in every cell. It is also responsible for the structure, function, and regulation of all organs, especially muscle!

Muscle is the organ of longevity. Which is why it’s so important to get in adequate amounts of protein as we age. I’m finding many women are not getting in nearly enough.

How much protein you need will depend on your goals and activity level. But at the very least, aiming for 30g at each meal is a good place to start.

Who struggles with getting in enough protein?👇

Nutrition + supplementation + lifestyle protocols are covered in depth inside my program Naturally Nourished. Link in my bio if you’d like to join 👆👆
