Why “eat less” often backfires with thyroid weight struggles

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

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,

Turns out… we’ve been told wrong about walking

Hello Reader, Let’s talk about January-and the pressure that so often comes with it. Everywhere you look, someone’s shouting about big goals, strict routines, and finally “getting your life together.” And if you’re living with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s, it can feel like these messages just weren’t made for you. You're already battling exhaustion, stubborn weight gain, brain fog-and now you're meant to start running 5 miles a day too? No wonder it feels impossible. And when something feels...
