Why “eat less” often backfires with thyroid weight struggles


Hello Reader,

I wanted to let you know that I’m running a free workshop tomorrow inside my community, and I’d love to invite you along.

It’s called:

Beyond Calories: Why Diets Stop Working When the Thyroid Isn’t Supported
The missing information behind stubborn weight and low energy

This is a gentle, educational session for anyone who feels confused or frustrated by the usual advice around food, weight, and energy when hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s are involved.

We’ll be talking about:

  • Why calorie-focused diets often don’t work well for thyroid bodies
  • Why “eat less and exercise more” can backfire
  • What’s often missing from standard weight and thyroid advice

There will also be a workshop companion workbook to go alongside the session, so you can reflect on what we cover and connect the dots afterwards.

The workshop is free, but it’s happening inside the free community, so you’ll need to join to attend and access the replay.

👉 You can join us here:

If this feels helpful for where you’re at right now, I’d love to see you there.

With love and fire,

Nothing’s broken.Nothing’s gone wrong yet.But something’s a bit off. It can look like: 🚨 A sluggish, foggy brain where thinking feels slower 🚨 Sleep that’s lighter and more broken, with odd, unrestful dreams 🚨 Stiff joints or that heavy,...

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...
