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.

I'd been vegetarian since I was 16. My husband had been vegetarian since before we even met. So when my body started struggling, I did what I'd always been told was right. I doubled down. More plants. Less meat. I thought I was doing everything correctly. Instead, I got worse. I remember a kind of...
Hi Reader, After my thyroid was removed, everyone had advice for me. Cut this out. Add that in. Do this every morning. Never eat that again. I remember feeling like getting better was suddenly a full time job I hadn't applied for. Like I was meant to overhaul my whole life overnight, on top of everything else my body was already dealing with. I didn't do that. I couldn't. So I picked one small thing instead. A carrot salad.
