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. Now don’t worry—I’m not going to bombard you with heavy science. But if you’re the curious type, here’s the research paper with proof (it’s a bit dense): The Effects of the Paleo Diet on Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: Here’s the short version:📌 Every single study they reviewed showed clinical improvements in people with autoimmune thyroid conditions when they followed an ancestral (paleo/primal) diet. 📌 One showed significant improvements. 😮 Yes, resolution.Let that sink in.!! 😮 This way of eating—stripping things back to what we’re biologically wired to thrive on—has the power to calm the immune system and reduce thyroid antibodies. And it’s exactly the approach I took when I hit rock bottom years ago. I was vegetarian (almost vegan), overweight, exhausted, and getting nowhere with the standard advice. So I did a full 180 and started experimenting with a modified paleo/primal way of eating—something that felt completely radical at the time. Fast forward to today… [My last test came back pretty much undetectable}. 🔥 ⚖️ Something we are led to believe is impossible, especially as we hit menopause or our 50's. It's not impossible once you start fueling your body the way it is designed for And I see this transformation in my clients too—because the way we eat matters. Despite what some endocrinologists tell us!!! Because i know THIS WORKS AMAZINGLY WELL for those of us with hypothyroidism and/or Hashimoto’s 👉 It's what I teach my 1to1 clients 👉 And its the basis of what we do in
So what does a Paleo or Primal style diet for thyroid health look like? ✅ ❤️ It means nourishing your body with what it needs. 👉 If you can, ask your doctor to run a full panel of vitamin and mineral tests. You may be low in some of the nutrients that can really move the needle when it comes to calming the immune system. Your tiny but mighty action steps:
And just remember: They’re wrong. Wrong. WRONG! We now have the PROOF! There’s so much you can do. You’ve just got to take your health, weight and energy back into your own hands—one primal, powerful bite at a time. Love, PLEASE NOTE - I am NOT a Doctor or Medical Professional of any kind. |

Hi Reader, Nine years ago this week, I woke up in a hospital bed with my thyroid gone. That's not actually what I want to write about today. I want to write about a photo. A sunny day on holiday, my husband and daughter behind me, everyone smiling. An ordinary photo, the kind you take a hundred of and never really look at properly. Except later, putting together a photo book of that trip, I looked at it properly. My neck. In that light, at that angle, it was lumpy. Swollen. Obviously wrong....
Hi Reader, My mum used to make her own bread. She didn't like what was in the shop-bought stuff. Too many weird things she couldn't pronounce. So most weeks there'd be a loaf rising on the side, flour dust on the counter, her hands working the dough the way her own mother probably taught her. She thought she was doing the right thing. For most of her life, something was wrong. Not one big obvious thing. A drip feed of smaller ones. Tired in a way sleep didn't touch. Weight that wouldn't shift...
Hi Reader, There was a stretch of my life where I knew the calorie count of almost everything before it touched my plate. I could tell you the numbers without thinking. I was still hungry most of the time, and I was still nowhere near where I wanted to be. I think a lot of us have lived some version of that. Counting, restricting, feeling like the failure must be ours when the number on the scale doesn't move the way it's supposed to. I read a piece in the paper this week making the case that...
