Is your body flashing a check engine light?
|
Hello Reader, It’s that quieter moment when things slow down again and the body starts sending little signals. For me, inflammation shows up like a check engine light. Nothing’s broken. It can look like:
On their own, none of these things feel dramatic. But together, they tell a story. The festive period is a lot on the body. More food, different food, later nights, less routine, more stimulation, more emotional load. And this is especially important if Hashimoto’s is part of the picture. And this is the bit that really matters: ❤️ Inflammation isn’t a failure. That check engine light isn’t there to scare you. It’s there to get your attention before things escalate. This isn’t about fixing everything overnight or launching into extreme changes. Once you can see the light on the dashboard, it’s much easier to respond calmly instead of pushing on and hoping it goes away. If things have felt a bit “off” since the festive period, you’re not imagining it - and you’re definitely not alone. With love and fire, P.S.If 2026 feels like a year where things need to feel different, you’re very welcome to join us for my free workshop: 🚨 FREE KICKSTART 2026 WEIGHT & ENERGY WORKSHOP 🔥 Why diets stop working when the thyroid isn’t supported |

I recently came across an article in The Guardian that stopped me in my tracks. It finally said out loud what so many of us have felt for years: “I feel addicted to this stuff… I used to smoke cigarettes, now I have the same habit but with...
Hi Reader, The Weight We Carry (That No One Sees) Let’s talk about something that most women have done their entire lives - without a thank you, without a paycheck, and often without even realising it: Emotional labor. It’s the invisible job of managing everyone else’s feelings.It’s smiling when you're seething inside.Soothing tensions before they erupt.Keeping family connections alive.Not because someone asked you to -but because that’s what women do.We’re taught to be the peacemakers.

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...
