Sauerkraut is having a moment (I made a video about it)
|
Hi Reader, You might have seen it. Sauerkraut has been massively in the news lately, especially in America, with several public figures very publicly eating it as part of their diet. Whatever you make of that, it made me want to talk about why it actually matters, especially if you're managing hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's. So I made a video about it. What it actually does for your gut, what to look for when you're buying it, and the one thing most people get wrong that means their jar is doing absolutely nothing. Watch it here: 👇 P.S.

And I think when we say "flare", what's really going on underneath is inflammation going up. Something tips it over. Inflammation rises. And we feel rubbish. The tricky part is that it's rarely just one thing....

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...
