This is where it’s at nutritionally if you want to support your thyroid 👆

Of course vegetables are important too, but when it comes to nutrient density, animal proteins and fat are far superior.

One key nutrient that is vital for thyroid health is vitamin A, more importantly, retinol which can ONLY be obtained through animal products.

Vitamin A (retinol) is required for activation of thyroid hormone receptors. In fact, insufficient vitamin A may depress thyroid function 👎

Vitamin A supplementation was shown to reduce serum TSH levels and increase T3 in premenopausal women.

Animal retinol is also imperative for converting cholesterol into sex hormones like progesterone👌

As for carbohydrate sources, fruits and roots are best as they are mineral rich and extras include things like bone broth and gelatin.

I teach you how to support your female physiology inside my course Naturally Nourished so you can optimize your thyroid + hormone health 👌

Support that immune system 👊This is one potent elixir and super easy to make.

Simply juice some fresh ginger and turmeric. Pour into a mason jar and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

To use:
I like to drink this hot. I add 2-3 Tbsp of the elixir (feel free to add more) to a mug with some raw honey and freshly squeezed lemon, then top off with hot water.

Alternatively, you can take a shot of it. Warning, it will be fiery 🔥

Feel free to add oranges, lemons or even grapefruit to your elixir. Juice whatever you like👌 I just keep it simple.

This potent elixir is:
— antibacterial
— antiviral
— anti inflammatory
— great for immune health
— sore throats
— nasal congestion
— digestion

Enjoy! 😝

Growing up my favorite breakfast before heading of

Growing up my favorite breakfast before heading off to school was cottage cheese and peaches #truestoryaskmymom

When I started studying holistic nutrition I was told that dairy was bad. Amongst many other foods.

For years I avoided dairy like the plague. And then one day I was staring at my coconut milk container, which was loaded with all sorts of random ingredients and thought to myself “how did I believe this was any healthier?”🤔

So I got myself some raw milk, bought some cottage cheese and I’ve never looked back.

I didn’t break out. I didn’t have all sorts of digestive issues. I was fine. And it was delicious 😋

I’m not saying YOU need to eat dairy, but instead of avoiding it forever, ask yourself “WHY can’t I digest it?”

For years I worked on healing my gut, supporting liver detox, managing stress and optimizing my diet - all of which allowed me to better digest foods.

For those who are lactose intolerant, working on gut healing can help, plus eliminating things like alcohol, PUFA’s, raw veggies (better cooked for the gut) can all be helpful.

If you feel like crap with dairy, simply avoid it. But if you’re avoiding it because you’ve categorized it as a ‘bad’ food and really do miss it, reintroduce it slowly and opt for organic or raw.

Inside Naturally Nourished I teach you how to support your female physiology with nutrient dense food so you can restore your metabolism and hormones (digestion and enjoyment of food is a big part of this!)

Carbs have been given a bad rap and many women are

Carbs have been given a bad rap and many women are scared to eat them 🙈

I fell into this trap for far too long and it tanked my thyroid and adrenals👎

When it comes to carbs, quality matters. If you’re loading up on refined flours (which also contain toxic fortified nutrients), fast food, that “healthy” salad dressing which is full of vegetable oils and trans fats - THIS is the real problem.

We need carbs! Fruits and roots are where it’s at 🍠🥕🍎🍓

Did you know that your thyroid needs glucose in order to do its job?

Did you know that your lack of sleep is probably due to the lack of carbs (fuel) in the tank (cells), causing you to wake up in the middle of the night?

Did you know that your low thyroid function will impact your sex hormones, making pms and perimenopause symptoms worse 🙈 (which can be helped with the right carbs!)

Inside Naturally Nourished I help you optimize your female physiology with the right foods (carbs included of course!) and restore your metabolism, so that you can experience:

— easy breezy cycles
— sustainable weight loss
— consistent energy
— food freedom and flexibility
— better moods
— better sleep

Because all of this 👆relies on metabolism (and carbs!).
