A Paleo or Primal Diet Can Put Hashimoto's Into Remission {PROOF}

Hi Beautiful! You know what really lights a fire under me? When people are told there's nothing they can do about their autoimmune thyroid condition, Hashimoto's “Just take the tablets,” they’re told. “Diet won’t make a difference. Just accept it” I’ve been saying for years that this simply isn’t true—and now, I’ve got some solid research to back it up. 👉 A new study looked at how ancestral or ‘paleo / primal-style’ diets impact autoimmune thyroid disease… and the results were pretty amazing....

Free Energy Webinar – Tomorrow Hi Reader, With Christmas just around the corner - and the pace of life starting to ramp up - I want to share something that could genuinely change how you feel heading into the holidays. This is the time of year when so many women push through exhaustion, ignore their body's signals, and end up crashing right before Christmas... or worse, right in the middle of it. The late nights, the extra food, the stress, the cold weather, the emotional load - it all stacks...

Hi Reader, The Wish We Don’t Make Until It’s Too Late You know that quote - “A healthy woman has a thousand wishes, but a sick woman has only one.” I never truly felt the weight of that until these past two weeks. I caught what I thought was just a really rough flu... But it developed into full-blown vertigo. I couldn’t sit up, look at a screen, or even think straight. I felt sick, dizzy, and completely drained. And I've had thyroid cancer in the past, so anything that knocks me off my feet...

Hi Reader, Tomorrow we kick off something really special - and it’s completely free to join. It’s our Thyroid-Friendly Advent Calendar Challenge, created to help you get through December feeling calmer, steadier, and far less overwhelmed. Because let’s be honest… the run-up to Christmas can be brutal when you’re already dealing with fatigue, stress, brain fog, or that constant “pushing through” feeling. Many of us ended last Christmas absolutely wiped out - drained, puffy, stressed, and...

Hello Reader, You might’ve seen the news - the UK government’s launching a new obesity project in Scotland. They’re funding weight loss injections for thousands of people, mostly in the poorest areas. Now, before I go any further, let me say this: I’m not against weight loss injections. For some, they can be absolutely life-changing. ❤️ But here’s what’s being completely missed. If proper thyroid testing were funded first, so many of those people wouldn’t even need weight-loss treatment at...

Hello Reader, I want to talk about a kind of tiredness that words don’t really cover. The kind that seeps into your bones. The kind that makes even walking up the stairs feel like climbing a mountain. When my hypothyroidism first really kicked off after having my children, that’s what it was like. Looking back, I think it started much earlier, maybe after glandular fever in my teens, but pregnancy was what tipped it over the edge. I remember standing halfway up the stairs, two little kids in...

Hi Reader, I’m taking part in a traffic challenge this month – but this isn’t about numbers for me. It’s about bringing this space to as many women as possible who need it. My community, The Hypothyroid Recovery Hub, is for women with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s who are tired of feeling stuck, unheard, and unsure what to do next – and who are ready to take their energy and confidence back. My vision is simple: a safe, supportive space where women can finally get clear answers, rebuild trust...

Hi Reader, I want to talk about something I hear far too often from women with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s: “I’m over 50 now, so this is just my lot. It’s all downhill from here.” And you know what makes this worse? Doctors reinforce it. 😠 You go in feeling exhausted, gaining weight, or struggling to concentrate - and you’re told: “Oh, that’s menopause.”“Oh, it’s just your age.” As if that’s the end of the story. But it isn’t. The truth is: blaming age for thyroid symptoms is one of the...

Hi Reader, 💜 Today inside our community, the Hypothyroid Recovery Hub, we’re on Day 2 of the 7-Day Sleep Better Challenge - and we’re talking about something simple but powerful: sleeping like a cavewoman. Everything we do in this community comes back to living more like our ancestors – following an ancestral lifestyle that works with your body, not against it. 10,000 years ago, our ancestors slept in almost total darkness. Maybe just a flicker of firelight or a soft glow from the moon. That...

Hi Reader, Have you ever been told your thyroid labs are “normal”… yet you still feel exhausted, foggy, or stuck with stubborn weight? This is one of the biggest myths out there. 👉 Normal does not mean optimal. Doctors usually look at a wide lab range. If your number falls anywhere inside it, they say you’re “fine.” But most women with thyroid problems do not feel fine there. 😔 In fact, many of us still feel tired, cold, foggy, and heavy - even when our labs look “normal.” Why? 👉 Because...

How autumn affects the thyroid.

Hi Reader, There’s something magical about autumn, isn’t there? The cosy jumpers, warm drinks, candles flickering, the colours of the leaves. It’s the season of pumpkin spice, thick socks and blankets on the sofa. 🍂 But alongside that cosiness, many women with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s notice a different shift - one that feels a lot less comforting. Maybe you find yourself: 🍁 Shivering even with the heating on and layers piled up 🍁 Feeling like your energy is draining faster than usual 🍁...
