With hypothyroidism, many women think “weight ga

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

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.

If you’re ready to dive into the HOW and stop chasing symptoms and heal your metabolism, join the waitlist for the Naturally Nourished online program coming soon —>

Love me some sourdough💕 I’ve experimented wit

Love me some sourdough💕 I’ve experimented with gluten free sourdough and now been playing around with non-hybridized ancient wheat (like einkorn) and organic stone milled unbleached grains (love @1847flours).

I’ve got lots of practice ahead of me and I question and doubt myself every time I dive in and start prepping my bread 🙈

I finally put my discard to use and made cookies and chocolate cake this weeken (both which turned out amazing!).

Today we made the most delicious bacon and tomato sandwiches with my freshly baked sourdough. Annnnd - how yummy does that tomato look! 🍅👆

It was sooo damn delicious!

As a side note - I’ve been gluten free for years, but experimenting and testing how I do with sourdough. And I’ve been fine 🙌🏻 after years of monitoring and testing my hashimotos antibodies and symptoms, gluten never seemed to be a root cause. I also started to crave sourdough.

And that’s what the healing journey is all about. Testing, experimenting, trial and error, addressing deficiencies, healing hormones and above all - trusting your body and intuition. It always tells you what you need 🙏

Super excited for todays interview and to chat wit

Super excited for todays interview and to chat with @lisabilyeu 🙌🏻 Lisa is the co-founder of Quest Nutrition and the co-founder and President of Impact Theory studios, a revolutionary, digital-first studio that produces wildly entertaining, original content focusing on themes of empowerment.

In this episode, Lisa takes us through her and her husband’s journey to success, from eloping at age 21 to running a billion-dollar business. The failures and challenges Lisa has faced along the way have molded her into her radically confident self and are filled with messages that can help us do the same.

She asks — how we can step into ourselves more and use things like insecurity as a tool to drive us forward? No bullshit–what would it take?

We also chat about:
💫Living the life you want to despite familial pushback
💫Transitioning from stay-at-home to entrepreneur
💫How busyness can distract us from our true feelings
💫Making the switch from tech to Quest
💫How being overworked inspired Lisa’s own health journey and so much more!

It’s a juicy episode and I hope you enjoy it🙌🏻

Back from Europe 😥 and back into routine. These COTTAGE CHEESE PANCAKES have been a fav lately. Full of protein and super fluffy 👌

Ingredients👇
1 cup gluten free oat flour
1 medium banana
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
Splash of milk to help thin out/blend
Add ins: blueberries, chocolate chips, whatever your heart desires

Directions👇
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until well combined. Add a splash or two of milk to help thin out if batter is too thick. Scoop into a bowl then add in blueberries and mix.

Cook in coconut oil or butter over medium heat and serve.

**I often like to double the recipe and save any leftovers for the next day and reheat in the toaster oven**

They are delicious! Enjoy and let me know how you like them 😋 tag me @holisticwellnesswitch

You guys know I love my medicinal mushrooms! 🍄

You guys know I love my medicinal mushrooms! 🍄 Which is why I’m so excited to interview co-founder of @eversiowellness Brandi Garden. @eversiowellness is a family owned and operated Canadian mushroom wellness company with the mission to change lives through fungi.

The fungi kingdom found Brandi after three bouts with skin cancer, caused by the pharmaceutical she’d been prescribed for over a decade 🙈 She’s since started Eversio with her husband, and has become a passionate advocate for the daily use of medicinal mushrooms as preventative and natural medicine and an alternative to pharmaceuticals.

You’re gonna learn so much in this episode 🙌🏻 We dive into:
🍄Brandi’s battle with skin cancer
🍄5 things to look for when buying mushroom supplements
🍄 Understanding mushroom dosing
🍄Pushing for the legalization of psychedelic mushrooms
🍄Where to start on your mushroom journey
